Q: Can I ask both Anders and Merrill to move in with Hawke? A: Yes you can, and they will both appear in the estate in act 3.
Q: Which romance will Varric mention during A Friendly Concern? A: Varric will prefer Anders > Merrill > Fenris > Isabela when choosing which romance to mention. With the latest version (v1.1) of Varric Dialogue Restoration installed, Varric will prefer romanced characters in the active party over those left at home.
Q: Who will visit after All That Remains? A: All romanced characters will visit the estate to comfort Hawke.
Act 3
Q: Who will be kidnapped during Best Served Cold, if not Hawke's siblings? A: Romanced characters will be kidnapped in the order Anders > Merrill > Isabela > Fenris (> Sebastian, with Kidnappapalooza installed). If you have someone in your active party when you go to the warehouse, they will be ineligible for kidnapping and the game will fall back to the next option.
Q: During A Murder of Crows, can Hawke have a threesome with Isabela and Zevran with other romances active? A: Having a romanced Isabela in the party will bypass the dialogue where other romanced characters will object, so Hawke can have a threesome regardless of who else is in the party at the time.
Q: Which romance will Varric mention over the epilogue slides? A: All lines of audio regarding romanced characters will simultaneously play over each other.
Inquisition
Q: Will this mod allow me to import multiple romances into Inqusition? A: No. You don't import a DA2 save game into Inquisition; you use the Dragon Age Keep.
Well, the actual point of no return will vary from playthrough to playthrough depending on which combination of NPCs you intend to romance, but that guideline is when you need to have it installed by, if you want to make sure you are able to romance everyone at the same time without inadvertently cutting off your ability to do so.
In general, if you have already played through anyone's romance scene, Isabela's and Fenris's scenes have the possibility to cut off the other's romance, and Merrill's and Anders' scenes have the possibility to cut off the romances of any of the others. (This can potentially be true even if you don't "lock in" the romance during that scene but it really varies. There was not a "standard" implementation.)
On the other hand, the QB scenes are mentioned for Anders and Fenris because if you have another romance active at the time it's possible that's locked you out of an option required to progress their specific romance any further.
Isabela's romance scene tends to trigger a lot earlier in the act than any of the others, so if that's your sticking point, definitely rewind if you want to also romance Fenris. For example.
Oh no. This just happened to me. D: I slept with everyone and was waiting for Fenris, finally did some reading, as I'm about to finish act 2 and... well, I have to replay act 2 now. I will do it, for my boi, he deserves it. <3
Love this mod and it's been working for me except for Sebastian. I've downloaded Sebastian Revisited and the compatibility patch but still am unable to flirt with him as female Hawke. Pls help, I really wanted to finally give him a try
For the compatibility patch to work, it needs to load in such a way that it loads later than and overrides Seb Revisited. If both mods are installed loose in the same folder and the files haven't been renamed then this should work without any extra load order manipulation. Can you double check the load order is correct?
Hello! Thanks for making this mod. It's really good.
I ran into an issue, though: after All That Remains, only Anders (the last character I "locked in") comes comfort Hawke.
What can be causing this?
Edit: I've found what caused the issue; Gamlen's file thats edited by this mod and also Twinception. Deleting it from Twinception's folder did the trick.
Usually when people are talking about mod conflicts, they're specifically talking about two different mods that edit the same file. A lot of mods will provide a list somewhere in their mod description of the vanilla files included in their mod, for reference. The only mod I know of that edits any of the same files as Kirkw(All) is Twinception, and the Twinception mod page does provide instructions on how to resolve the conflict (the one which results in only one love interest visiting after All That Remains).
I haven't played Inquisitions yet, but I am assuming you can import a save game file to continue various storylines. If I romance Isabela and Merrill; how does that export for the one romanced, or does Inquisitions just ignore it like the other DAs?
Edit: Never mind, only one will go and that can be set in the Tapestry.
not sure if it helps but you can totally safe edit dragon age origin and have multiple outcomes dialogs for dragon age 2 like logain is alive but Alistair and warden are the king and queen and mage warden is queen etc. its fun to mess around with you kinda get a funky dragon age 2
will this work with a current PT or will i have to start a new one? i ask, bc even though in act2 for speak with bela i can flirt with her but questioning beliefs all she does is talk about fenris [which is great for polyam agenda, but bad for flirting]. thanks!
actually, though i figured out my other issue i seem to have only one of the companions visiting during all that remains and that is isabela [though fenris is wearing the romance crest and armband].
Question, is there a way to tell if the Mod is properly working? I'm just worried about the possibility of going through two romances only to be cut off from the other too late.
Sure, that's a tricky combination because they both take sooooo long to lock in. I've uploaded my romance debug script (zz_romance) to my Exodus Mini Mods page. If you enable the console and run the runscript zz_romance command after Isabela's and Fenris's romance scenes in Act 2 you can immediately confirm that the romances are still active (flag 13 = TRUE) and not ended (flag 15 = N/A).
You should be getting the Isabela/Fenris banter if both romances are active, but you would also be getting it if neither romance is active so that's not the best confirmation hahaha.
This mod doesn't work. it's seem to work till act 3 where game only consider Merrill as my romance (i romance both Merrill and Isabela) update: The mod is work fine, stupid me didn't try to check if i choose a wrong dialogue
So, to confirm, when you tried to recommit Isabela's romance during her act 3 questioning beliefs, you were unable to? Or what else specifically doesn't work?
ok i take a look again and this one is my fault, sorry. Mod work fine During act 3 questioning beliefs when she ask about her and Hawke future. Do not choose the dialogue "what about Merril". choose the upper one in order to progress her romance
Ah, okay, I can see how that (and "What about Anders?") could be a trap option with the poly mod installed, since it ends the conversation without progressing Isabela's relationship. I've tried to get away with editing as few files as possible in this mod so it'll play as niceys as possible with other mods but thanks for the catch, it's good to know. :)

- Should be installed before Isabela's and Merrill's romance scenes, and before Anders' and Fenris' Questioning Beliefs chats.
What issues occur if you install it afterwards? I want to know how worth it it would be to go back to an earlier save.In general, if you have already played through anyone's romance scene, Isabela's and Fenris's scenes have the possibility to cut off the other's romance, and Merrill's and Anders' scenes have the possibility to cut off the romances of any of the others. (This can potentially be true even if you don't "lock in" the romance during that scene but it really varies. There was not a "standard" implementation.)

Thanks for clearing that up!
What specific lines of dialogue are you missing?

update: The mod is work fine, stupid me didn't try to check if i choose a wrong dialogue
During act 3 questioning beliefs when she ask about her and Hawke future. Do not choose the dialogue "what about Merril". choose the upper one in order to progress her romance
