it’s so bloody obvious Blackwall isn’t a warden, and hearing him dodge questions about the wardens is comedy gold. My personal favorite is when you ask him about how to kill an archdemon, and he says that you stick it with a sword until it stops moving. When you ask why it has to be a grey warden because it seems like anyone can stick a sword to a dragon, he says, completely nonchalantly, that it has to be a special grey warden sword.
I’m dying.
When replaying Blackwalls romance I got to this line of dialog and I just sat there in tears like “bitch, why are you so full of shit right now” and my soul left to another plane of existence, it was fucking great
God what a dork
Okay but how does LELIANA not see it? Or is she just like “the people think he is, and he is good at sticking things with swords, so I’m just gonna let sleeping dogs lie.”
Or does Blackwall like agresssively avoid her throughout the entirety of the game?
Okay now I’m imagining Leliana talking to him a little after his recruitment and asking about where he was during the Blight, and she’s like:
But then the Red Templars/Venatori attack and her mind ends up focused on other things because he’s a damn good warrior and loyal and hey maybe the Inquisitor kinda likes him a little bit maybe even more than a friend, so whatever.
But Blackwall knows Leliana is kinda suspicious so he just kinda bounces out whenever she’s in vicinity and the subject never comes up again. Then when he’s found out everyone looks at Leliana like:
And she’s like:
or leliana is thinking that blackwall is dodging questions because wardens don’t speak much of the Joining / taking the taint into them / why it must be a grey warden to strike the final blow against the archdemon… they’re kinda keeping the secret cause otherwise no one would want to become a warden, right?
so she’d basically be like “oh, a special grey warden sword yes i understand” *wink wink* and blackwall doesn’t know why she’s winking at him and it makes him nervous that she’s found out…
