Alistair Disapproves —> “Here, have some cake.” —> Alistair Approves. Which is really kind of hilarious to me.

That is something I dislike about DA 2. I don’t know if it’s the dialogue options I choose or what, but pretty much every gift I’ve given has been met with “Aveline -15” or whatever. I thought you’d like it! I’m sorry!

Aww, Aveline, y u no like gift? That happened with my main Diplo Lady Hawke and Merrill. After not giving her the arulin’holm, she gave her the halla carving and got a ton of rivalry.
