== Dragon Age II ==
=== Combat comments ===
Before a fight:
* I am ready! They are not!
* Maker, take you!
* I suffer no threat!
* Face me! I stand for all of us!
* Guard yourself, there's more coming!
* Is there an end to the people who hate you?
During a fight:
* Watch out! That one's got a lot of power!
* Rally here, around me!
* You go through me before anyone else!
* So it begins, and ends!
* Order will be restored!
* That will not go unanswered!
* You will fall!
* Don't worry, I'm at your back!
* From stealth! Look behind!
Kills an enemy:
* Waste of life, but not my choice.
* Let them join the Maker!
* One less against us!
* The marked one has fallen!
After a fight:
* It was their bad luck we're so skilled.
* Every battle is training for the next.
* Well? Next?
No effect:
* Maker, why isn't this working?!
Recovering from KO:
* I'm not fully recovered, not yet.
* I think I tore... everything.
* I'm up and there will be a reckoning.
* Rest assured, I will not fail again.
* Everyone alright? I think I was... out.
* Word of caution, let's not do that again.
About to KO:
* Tend this injury, I have to be ready for anything.
* Back me up or you lose me!
Low on stamina:
* I'm out of breath!
* I can't keep this pace!
* This is wearing on me!
Someone else KO'd:
* (If Hawke falls) Hawke is down. Not good!
* (If Hawke falls) I won't let you down!
* (If Hawke falls) Not today, Hawke! Not while I'm here!
* (If Hawke falls) You're not making your death my fault. Not today!
* (If Anders falls) That moody mage is down!
* (If Bethany falls) Your sister just hit the ground!
* (If Carver falls) Your brother has just hit the ground!
* (If Fenris falls) The marked one has fallen!
* (If Isabela falls) Isabela's on the ground! Appropriately.
* (If Merrill falls) The little one is on the ground!
*(If Varric falls) Varric! No time to lay around, you old con!
* I will not lose another in my care!
* I'm with you, hold on!
Taking a potion:
* This will help -it better!
* Hope no one else needs this!
Stuck:
* Something has me!
Trap:
* Trap here, I know it.
* Watch well, there is a trap.
* That's not my strength.
* I'll need more than high hopes to do that.
* Let me know if you need that done right.
* I can help, you know.
* Done here. Anything else?
=== Aveline's remarks ===
* The man at the docks: You're sure you don't want something extra for your retirement fund, Captain?
* Aveline: That stopped with Jeven, as did your extra shipments.
* The man at the docks: Can't fault a man for asking.
* Aveline: I can and I have.
* Hightown noblewoman: You're the captain of the guard. You have my thanks for keeping us safe, dear girl.
* Aveline: You're quite welcome.
* Hightown noblewoman: So accomplished at such a young age. How splendid!
=== Location comments ===
* (Entering the Blooming Rose) "Let's not stay here for long."
* (Entering the Hightown Market) "This is the heart of Kirkwall if you ask me."
* (City Guard Barracks) "It's different here as captain. Feels like... family."
* (City Guard Barracks) "Nothing going on, Hawke. You'd be the first to know if there was."
* (Approaching Gamlen's Shack in Act 1) "You could do worse, Hawke. It's a roof."
* (Approaching Hawke's mansion for the first time) "You've certainly come a long way, Hawke."
* (Kirkwall, night) "I don't make my guards fight gangs in dark corners. But if you'd like to help..."
* (Near the Viscount's Keep) "The home of leadership in Kirkwall, such as it is."
* (Passing by the Wounded Coast lookout point) "It's hard to believe we came all that way to get here."
* (Darktown, near sewer entrance) "Rule of thumb. If a criminal runs to the sewers, he's gone."
* (Lowtown) "I'd double patrols here, if I had my choice. Lowtown is trouble."
* (Lowtown, entering the Undercity warrens during Shepherding Wolves) "I would not approve of coming here to avoid the guards, but these circumstances are... unique."
* (Lowtown, Act 2) "My term as captain has not been popular here. But you get used to it."
* (Lowtown, Act 2) "Lowtown serves its purpose. It's not always pretty, but it's there."
* (Lowtown Bazaar, Act 2) "The heart of the city. For both commerce and crime, judging from my reports."
* (Lowtown Bazaar, Act 2) "I believe this market rivals Denerim, but I haven't visited in a very long time."
* (Hightown) "Hightown is the best of Kirkwall. Just ask them."
* (Hightown, Act 2) "Hightown hides its worst elements very well. The things people keep behind locked doors."
* (Darktown) "The guards don't come here often enough."
* (The Gallows) "A place where we should be coming together. For most, it's barely a nod as they pass."
* (The Hanged Man) "A hive of scum and villainy. Every city needs the outlet."
* (The Hanged Man, Act 2) "I don't get here as often as I should, even as captain."
* (The Blooming Rose) "Getting a few looks in here. Hope it's because I'm a guard."
* (The Chantry) "I should feel at home here, but... I know sacrifice, but I will not be a sacrifice"
* (The Chantry) "I'm uncomfortable around Chantry sisters. All because of that red-headed trickster in Lothering."
* (Sundermount) "I feel like there's a different law at work in this place. Someone else's rules."
* (The Wounded Coast) "Watch yourself. Having a member/Captain of the guard along carries little weight here."
* (The Deep Roads) "A dangerous place, but if you're sure this is where you need to be, I'm with you."
* (Qunari compound) "Guard captain" means nothing here."
=== Aveline and Hawke ===
(During Blackpowder Courtesy, when you visit the Side Alley)
* Aveline: He's a good man. Trust that it's as bad as he says.
* Hawke: (Sarcastic Hawke) How about we skip this one? Send your man instead?
* Aveline: How about I shove a canary up your coal mine? Let's go.
(During The Long Road, when it's revealed she is trying to court Donnic and Hawke asks “Why is this difficult for you?") 
* Hawke: “I can’t imagine you having trouble speaking your mind.”
(Not in a romance):
* Aveline: "The guards are in my care. I hurt when they hurt. But Donnic...
* Aveline: "I want him to know that I feel... but if something happened to him...
* Hawke: "Something already happened and he's fine.
* Aveline: "If it made sense, I wouldn't need you. I feel paralyzed. I hate it."
(In a romance): 
* Aveline: “It’s just... fear. I know it’s foolish, but I can’t get away from it.”
:* (Isabela romance): “What about you and Isabela? I know she doesn’t have two thoughts to rub together, but the danger of your lives must worry you.”
:* (Merrill romance): “What about you and Merrill? She’s all but daring the Fade to take her. How do you live with that danger?
:* (Anders romance): “What about you and Anders? He’s all but cursed. How do you live with that danger?
:* (Fenris romance): “What about you and Fenris? How do you deal with the danger of your lives?”
* Hawke: “Maybe we’re not the best example.”
(During Questioning Beliefs, after The Long Road, and choose, "You need my good humor")
* Hawke: You don't want me as sour and dour as you. You need a counterpoint.
* Aveline: I don't think I've asked to be the butt of your jokes.
* Hawke: Donnic.
(Pause)
* Aveline: Okay, sometimes I have asked for it.
(After Following the Qun, if Hawke ended things with the Viscount sarcastically)
* Aveline: "'It's pretty late?' You ass."
* Hawke: "May as well end as tense as it started."
* Aveline: "It won't end. Hawke, I thought this could wait, but... I need to speak to you at your home. Very soon."
=== Aveline and Anders ===
=== Aveline and Bethany ===
=== Aveline and Carver ===
=== Aveline and Fenris ===
=== Aveline and Isabela ===
=== Aveline and Merrill ===
=== Aveline and Sebastian ===
=== Aveline and Varric ===
* Aveline: Varric, do you do anything?
* Varric: Am I the next stop in your career evaluations? Joy of joys.
* Aveline: You watch and you talk. Is that it?
* Varric: You are dismissing hallmarks of both the utterly ineffectual and the incredibly dangerous.
* Aveline: I don't know what you mean.
* Varric: It means coins flow when I talk and when I shut up. Like if you got paid to guard or unguard.
* Aveline: That makes no sense.
* Varric: Good.
* Aveline: Maybe I should put you to use Varric. Have you pen some warnings for the lawless.
* Varric: Who's that for? Are most criminals big readers? Seems like pacifying the nobles.
* Aveline: Pictures then. It was just a suggestion.
* Varric: Well how about a giant sign that just says "Don't." You could hit people with it.
* Aveline: Thank you, I get the point.
* Varric: A Fereldan in the guard. What will they think of next?
* Aveline: You have a problem with that?
* Varric: Me? My family's not native either. I'm just surprised. Lots of old prejudice in the guard.
* Aveline: I'll give them plenty of reason to change their minds.
* Varric: You know, it's possible they're just scared shitless of you. That's my theory, anyway.
* Varric: So what do you do, Aveline?
* Aveline: You know I'm a guard, why are you asking?
* Varric: I mean in your off-duty hours. For fun. You've heard of it, I hope?
* Aveline: These are my off-duty hours.
* Varric: And the trend of you scaring the piss out of me continues.
* Aveline: Blondie, Sunshine, Daisy, Rivaini... What am I?
* Varric: Beg your pardon?
* Aveline: You don't call anyone by name except for me. Where's my nickname?
* Varric: That's not true. There's Hawke. And Bianca.
* Aveline: "Hawke" is a family name and Bianca is a crossbow. Don't change the subject.
* Varric: Haven't thought of a good one yet. What do you think of "Red?"
* Aveline: Too common.
* Varric: Well, when you think of one, let me know.
* Aveline: You, Varric, have a very large mouth.
* Varric: And here I've always looked up to you. What is it now?
* Aveline: There were fistfights in the barracks over who is the model for your guard serial.
* Varric: Hard in Hightown. Riveting stuff. Everyone loves a dirty guard on the edge.
* Aveline: Varric.
* Varric: Fine. I'll start his big finish. Three chapters until Donnen Brennicovick retires and opens a tavern on the coast.
* Varric: I sure hope he makes it. He's getting too old for this shit.
* Aveline: You are very close to losing your printing blocks, Varric.
* Varric: Once more I am falsely accused of whatever it is that I am accused of. Falsely.
* Aveline: Someone swapped the text of my recruitment poster with some filth from the Blooming Rose.
* Varric: That does sound pretty good.
* Aveline: Sure, fill barracks with whores. But you've also filled the Rose with guards.
* Varric: It is true what they say. The best comedy comes from tragedy.
* Aveline: You know the Tethras family businesses are registered in your cousin Elmand's name?
* Varric: You don't say?
* Aveline: But I can't find any record of you having a cousin Elmand.
* Varric: I'll introduce you some time. He's a little on the shy side.
* Aveline: Varric. He's imaginary.
* Varric: Which makes him a much better head of the household than I am. He never misses the Merchants Guild meetings, for one.
* Aveline: You're too quiet, Varric.
* Varric: I'm thinking of switching to romances. Nothing? Not even a foreboding frown?
(Only if The Long Road has been completed)
* Aveline: I am content. Write what you will.
* Varric: Well that certainly takes the fun out of it. Contentment in the barracks? Who'll pay to hear that shit?
* Aveline: Then I should have thought of it years ago.
(Otherwise)
* Aveline: Do what you will. I don't care.
* Varric: That is... not a comforting thought.
* Aveline: It is what it is. I'm used to it.
* Varric: I think we've both lost some inspiration.
* Aveline: Why are you still here, Varric?
* Varric: Starkhaven's too pretentious for me and Cumberland's too boring.
* Aveline: You always say you hate commitment, but here you are, six years later, still at Hawke's side.
* Varric: Aveline, I thought you'd have noticed by now: I lie a lot.
* Aveline: Strange, I always thought I'd wind up arresting you some day.
* Varric: If I ever decide to get caught, Aveline, you'll be the guard I let catch me.
* Aveline: "Let catch you?"
* Varric: "Decide to get caught" didn't trip you up though. Good to know!
* Aveline: How are you at finales, Varric?
* Varric: I'm expecting some practical experience fairly soon.
* Aveline: Make it a good one, will you?
* Varric: For you, madam, endless sunsets and roses.
* Aveline: Varric.
* Varric: And the swift hand of the law sweeping all aside. I thought it went unsaid.

=== Aveline and Isabela ===
=== Aveline and Merrill ===
=== Aveline and Sebastian ===
=== Aveline and Varric ===
* Aveline: Did you know anything about this Carta, Varric?
* Varric: Not my crowd. Unsubtle. Kind of fuzzy in their business plan... uh, I assume.
* Aveline: You keep secrets and people die.
* Varric: You keep kicking random beehives and you'll get stung.
* Aveline: What's that supposed to mean?
* Varric: No keeper, no bees, no honey. I like honey.
* Aveline: Damn it, dwarf.
* Aveline: All right, tell me. How does it end?
* Varric: Beg your pardon?
* Aveline: That guard story of yours. The... the one with a guardsman who falls in love with a templar knight-captain.
* Varric: Oh, the romance! Swords and Shields. I just started that serial. It's got ten chapters to go.
* Aveline: Yes, but you know how it ends! Just tell me.
* Varric: I've got an idea, but the story... the story will go where it wants to go. The characters drive it, not me.
* Aveline: You're the author! That makes no sense at all!
* Varric: A good story, you don't really write. It was always there. You just uncover it.
(Upon seeing the Power Nexus Puzzle)
* Varric: Ugh, why does it always have to be so complicated? Can't Aveline just bash through the wall?
* Aveline: Very funny, Varric.
* Varric: We passed another broken pillar. You know what that means.
(If Isabela is in the party)
* Isabela: Everybody take a drink!
(If Anders is in the party)
* Anders: The last time we played this game, I kissed an ogre. Please let's not go there again.
(If Aveline is in the party)
* Aveline: Didn't the last game end with Isabela getting Orlesian with a lyrium vein?
* Varric: Yep!
* Aveline: Carry on then.
== Mark of the Assassin ==
=== Aveline's remarks ===
=== Aveline and Hawke ===
=== Aveline and Anders ===
=== Aveline and Bethany ===
* Bethany: Is it because we're not actually in Kirkwall?
* Aveline: What?
(If Bethany is a Grey Warden)
* Bethany: That you allow my sister to cavort like this.
* Bethany: You're the guard captain, aren't you? Honor bound to stop this.
* Aveline: We'll see. But generally, the honor-bound don't get much done.
* Bethany: Codswallop.
(During Act 1, or if Bethany is a Circle mage)
* Bethany: I mean, as a city guard, aren't you honor-bound to stop Tallis from stealing... whatever she's after?
* Aveline: We'll see. But generally, the honor-bound don't get much done.
* Bethany: Good point.
=== Aveline and Carver ===
=== Aveline and Fenris ===
=== Aveline and Isabela ===
=== Aveline and Merrill ===
=== Aveline and Sebastian ===
=== Aveline and Varric ===
* Varric: Should have come to the Hanged Man last week. You missed Brennan drunk off her ass, reciting love poems to Corff.
* Aveline: She did not!
* Varric: Four hours she spent clinging to the bar, shouting sonnets at the poor man.
* Aveline: Ugh, a guardsman's poetry. That's assault, that is.
* Varric: Keep an eye on her. I think she's in possession of a few concealed dirty limericks, too.
* Aveline: Are these sort of people who buy that drivel you write?
* Varric: Can you blame them? Shut up in their dreary castles, surrounded by other stuffy nobles who only talk about money and politics...
* Varric: How could they not long for the cold days and hot nights of a fiery, passionate guardswoman?
* Aveline: I prefer my tales a little more grounded. Less of the "giant sword and heaving bosom" variety.
(While looking for Hawke and Tallis)
* Aveline: We've been going in circles for over an hour.
* Varric: I'm so used to Hawke leading the way, I think my sense of direction has withered.
* Varric:
**(if Hawke is male) So... wait for him to rescue us?
**(if Hawke is female) So... wait here for her to rescue us?
* Aveline: When you tell this part? Leave it out.
