Questions questions… Spoilers needed!
 

First one.
I've upgraded Skyhold garden - with chantry. I don't care for plants as I have heaps of them from grinding areas.
So… Where exactly do I collect the cash from that chantry upgrade? I don't see such option anywhere.

I have a few more questions in mind, but too early. For example I ought to ask if Storm Coast inaccessible area is linked to red templars sidequest for example, but that's… Not really necessary as I'll know the answer on that later today. ;)

No answer on this? Man…

Okay, another one.
How to boost friendship (or even romance) with Iron Bull? Easy. Kill dragons with him in the party.
Blackwell? Again easy, put him in your party while clearing western pass, he'll adore you nailing those endless respawns there.
Others are pretty much reacting to your hopefully often chatty…

But Vivianne? No dice on any mobs. I became knight enchanter just to please her, she doesn't care. :(

Cole? Is it even possible to get any even small friendship with that guy… Spirit… Demon… Whatever?

EDIT:
Oh and… I was looking for levels endless respawn mobs have on locations and found this:

I've already cleared the whole Hinterlands and Western Pass, but those maps seem handy. Not sure If I missed a puzzle piece somewhere so if I did… Well…

No idea about the garden, maybe someone standing around in it?

For the Storm Coast, that's a level 15 dungeon that open up "later" via a War Table mission.

Vivienne = Pro-Circle/Chantry choices and "dominating" leadership.
Cole = Help people (save their cats, don't be mean to people, etc).

Vivienne is… Bah, wherever I take her, she doesn't approve nor disapprove. How am I supposed to become friends with that chick if she's… Emotionless?

Found for Cole. Rescue prisoners with him in the party and he approves like crazy, for example Emprise du Lion, Rocky Rescue quest has 7 spots for that!

Here is the answer to all of your questions.

In penance, here is one actual answer. I got a good amount of approval from Vivienne when I told her that, rather than restoring the templars or letting mages run free, mages should be given an active role in running the chantry, using their knowledge of magic to help control it. She told me I was clever.

But that's just one dialogue.
I need something that gets her approving every time I do it. Just as freeing prisoners means get Cole in your party, killing Tevinter cultists means lead Dorian, get rid of darkspawn yells for Blackwall and killing dragons without Iron Bull is a wasted opportunity!

She has a "find books for the Circles" quest similar to Dorian kill Tevinter cultists ones.

The problem is - she gets "approved" even if she's not in the party and there are only 3 such books. So… No.
I'm asking practically on what to grind followers approval!

I brought her along pretty much everywhere, as she's a Knight Enchanter and I loved that barrier-upon-damage passive that she got later on, but I don't think I encountered anything that gave her loads of free approval. In fact, I think she's one of few companions I didn't max out, as she never gave me the "speech of approval" that others did (basically they just tell you how awesome you are and that they'll be your friend forever etc).

She's a hard nut to crack.

I adore her probably because of that reason. Comapred to getting her approval, others seem too easy. ;)

Also, she didn't come to play cards with the rest of us! Sera is there, won't spoil where, but… Vivienne isn't. :(
Okay, neither is Lelianna, but she isn't playable NPC in this sequel.

Just to say I thought their cards, when changed, mean they're friends based on this approval/disapproval thing… It's not. I just had Varric after Fade main quest turned into "haunted" card, then I did his "well shit"* quest and the card turned into pokerface without any approval or disapproval anywhere!

* I'm not joking, it's the name of the quest:

Just as I found another reason to drop the game finally on 7 (don't even ask), another reason to keep it at 8 appeared… *sigh*

Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts main story quest is… Spectacular! It contains everything every RPG should have. A ministory, sidestories and lore, a (easy though) puzzle, sidequests, humor and a final überjuicy reward if you didn't just rush through thinking it's Diabloclone.
I'm not talking about minirewards you can grab (at least I managed) two new agents there and another operation on your war table (dance). But I'm talking about adding all three sides under your command!
[EDIT:]And OMG in the end it actually provides you even the third agent - if you choose so. Brilliant quest design, brilliant![/EDIT]

Pics are uploaded (first one is crucial for this, you need to find that naked soldier on the bed!).


This quest IMO is a definite masterwork of exploration and c&c. There are no endless respawns in it. If only the whole game was designed like this… I'd believe Escapists's 10/10. Sadly, it wasn't and Escapist probably played only through this quest and thought the whole game is like this. And of course that Escapist critic probably adores Vala Mal Doran just like I do and she finally made an appearance in this quest.

You'll never see Vivienne play Wicked Grace, it's less or more strip poker.
