If you’re interested, you can check out this mod for PC right here. Bringing her style into the first game is a neat way to connect the two titles, making her comeback in Dragon Age 2 more special. While we met her in the first game, it wasn’t until the sequel that she truly stood on her own as someone special. If you are trying to beat her in a card game, keep trying even if you lose. She must be persuaded, seduced or beat in a card game to get her to teach the specialization. Duelist can be unlocked by talking to Isabela in The Pearl, a brothel in Denerim. I found that great to see, and she’s a beacon for many of the other companions, including Fenris, making her a treasured character. Duelist is one of the specializations available for the rogue class in Dragon Age: Origins, which focuses on face-to-face combat. Don’t we all? Romancing her is one of my most favorite memories from this series because that is when you truly see her growth and get to watch her learn to trust others again and trust her own voice. She’s overcome so much to become who she is, but she still has room to grow when we meet her in Dragon Age 2.
Isabella is one of my favorite characters in the Dragon Age-verse.
