Tallis/Dialogue

Tallis' dialogue contains a list of the conversations that Tallis shares with the other companions and Hawke, in which they discuss each other's backgrounds, and their reactions to the game's events.
== Mark of the Assassin ==
=== Tallis' remarks ===
(there is a bug some have encountered where-in if the Warden is a male elven mage, he may be mentioned as a female when discussing lothering)
=== Tallis and Hawke ===
=== Tallis and Anders ===
=== Tallis and Aveline ===
* Aveline: They would do better to hunt these closer to farmland. They must be a plague on anyone with livestock.
* Tallis: The sooner we get the hunt over with, the sooner we'll be at the château to finish this.
(After some hunters make remarks about wyverns during the hunt)
* Aveline: Waste of time.
* Tallis: Just ignore them.
(After Tallis' identity is revealed)
* Aveline: So you're a spy.
* Tallis: Not by profession, but yes.
* Aveline: What do you mean? What's your role under the Qun?
* Tallis: The Ben-Hassrath are enforcers. We protect the faith and the innocent.
* Aveline: Enforcer makes you more templar than guard.
* Tallis: Sure... let's go with that.
(After Tallis' identity is revealed)
* Aveline: So, you willingly joined? Didn't they invade your homeland?
* Tallis: I like the way you say homeland. It's obvious you care for yours.
* Tallis: Tevinter conquered mine generations ago. Why would I owe them allegiance over the Qun?
* Aveline: It's not the same. It seems like... joining the darkspawn.
* Tallis: But on the bright side, no taint.
=== Tallis and Bethany ===
* Tallis: So you're Hawke's sister.
(During Act 1)
* Bethany: Did she tell you that?
* Tallis: Not at all. You think someone can't tell?
* Bethany: What do you mean? We're nothing alike! Or, at least I don't think so...
* Tallis: You're adorable. I wish I'd had a sister like you.
(If Bethany is a Circle mage)
* Bethany: The mage who went away, yes.
* Tallis: Many families have them.
* Hawke: And are proud of them.
* Tallis: It shows.
(If Bethany is a Grey Warden)
* Bethany: I was. Before I got the Blight.
* Hawke: Bethany.
* Bethany: Oh, right, sorry. Everything's just like it always was. Better?
* Tallis: Not especially. Never mind.
=== Tallis and Carver ===
* Carver: Why can't we ever meet any normal people?
* Tallis: I'm normal!
* Carver: You jumped off a roof and stabbed a man in the back.
* Tallis: In a completely normal fashion!
* Tallis: So you're Hawke's brother.
(During Act 1)
* Carver: Yes. Carver. Carver Hawke.
* Tallis: I usually have to try a lot harder to annoy someone. What's your issue?
* Carver: It's nothing that an outsider need worry about.
* Tallis: Well, cold stares for everyone, then.
(If friendship)
* Carver: We still admit that, on occasion.
* Tallis: But you're on good terms.
* Carver: This second? I suppose so. The day's young, though.
* Hawke:
** (If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality) We're fine. Just... different.
** (If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality) He'll bugger it up yet.
** (If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality) It won't last.
(If rivalry)
* Carver: That is a common accusation.
* Tallis: Strained, then?
* Carver: We're on different paths.
* Hawke:
** (Diplomatic) Bit of an understatement.
** (Humorous) With a lot of swearing, usually.
** (Aggressive) He's an ass.
=== Tallis and Fenris ===
=== Tallis and Isabela ===
=== Tallis and Merrill ===
* Merrill: How did you learn to do that thing with the knives, Tallis?
* Tallis: Throwing them?
* Merrill: Yes. Isabela does that sometimes, too. How do you keep it from hitting someone hilt-first and just bonking them on the nose?
* Tallis: Oh, that happens all the time, actually. You just act like you meant to do that. Which is really hard sometimes and ruins the moment.
(After Tallis' identity is revealed)
* Merrill: Do the Qunari treat elves well, then?
* Tallis: They treat elves like anyone else.
* Merrill: But they do such terrible things. I thought...
* Tallis: Elves are not exempt. We all pay a price for freedom. Ask yourself if the price an elf pays here is better or worse.
* Merrill: I don't want to think about it.
* Tallis: Eventually all of us will have to.
=== Tallis and Sebastian ===
* Tallis: So these are the hunting grounds.
* Sebastian: Are there truly wyverns here? Not just servants dressed up in wyvern suits?
* Tallis: Supposedly. Not that I've ever seen one, though.
(After some hunters make remarks about wyverns during the hunt)
* Sebastian: They should use dogs to flush them. Wyverns tend to, ah, defecate to drive away pursuit.
* Tallis: Just ignore them.
(After Tallis' identity is revealed)
* Tallis: So just how good are you with that bow?
* Sebastian: Eh? There's been no complaints.
* Tallis: So if I put an apple on my head, could you shoot it off?
* Sebastian: Considering what you've led us into, I don't think that would be wise.
* Tallis: (Sighs) You people are so touchy.
(After Tallis' identity is revealed)
* Sebastian: So, what were you before?
* Tallis: When I was a little girl, I liked to pretend I was a dragon.
* Sebastian: I mean... were you raised in the Chantry? Among the Dalish?
* Tallis: When I grew up, the Imperial Chantry was the only option. They don't have much use for elves. Or anyone who's not a magister.
* Sebastian: Then they weren't representing the will of Andraste. The Maker has a place for everyone.
* Tallis: So does the Qun.
