Dragon Age: Inquisition bringing back Leliana
But will she return to her shadowy roots?
Dragon Age: Inquisition will once again feature veteran companion Leliana, though it seems her skills may have been honed somewhat in the time she's been away.
A new profile page on the Dragon Age: Inquisition website reveals that while she was perhaps more keen on bard abilities in the past, stealthier skills may come to the fore in the next entry in the series.
“She has many names," it reads. "Most know her as Sister Nightingale or the Left Hand of the Divine. To the rare friend, she is Leliana. They say she found faith amid darkness, and that her devotion to the Maker is matched only by her devotion to Divine Justinia V, a woman who is both mentor and savior. Those who have earned her loyalty know her as a steadfast ally. But enemies of the Divine know to fear her, for she is the shadow behind the Sunburst Throne—the one who watches and waits, who strikes when her mark is most vulnerable and least suspecting.”
Leliana made her debut in Dragon Age: Origins and took centre stage in the Leliana's Song DLC. While she returned in Dragon Age 2, it wasn't as a playable character. Though devoted to her religion, she's got a pretty dark backstory involved assassinations and lesbian affairs.
Earlier this week we got to meet Dorian, BioWare's first "fully gay" male party member.
