How to unlock the Beloved and Precious achievement in Dragon Age: Inquisition - Definitive Guide

This achievement is for achieving a romantic relationship and much like the Mass Effect you can only court one person before the others get jealous. The achievement will not unlock until you make a strong connection with your choice of partner and have sex later in the game.

*Make sure you side with them and use the heart icon any time it is available with the particular character you are courting.

* Tied to storyline progression as I received it after doing multiple side quests and up to the "Here Lies the Abyss" and "Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts" quests both completed.

*May also need to do their Inner circle side mission as well as I had done Blackwalls mission when I played through.

*Missable Achievement

Is there ANY way to get this post endgame? I was too chivalrous and declined both chances to have sex. I'm a *good guy*... but she never offered again and now I've beat the game. Can I still get some?

Not that I know of, If you declined to have sex you missed your window. Only a previous save will help you now.

I've done abyss and pride and it's still not unlocked. Looks like if you do this too early it won't unlock.

Finally unlocked after a third cutscene with Sera, from what I have been able to find out this happens with her. During the scene you are given a choice to continue the relationship or to not, if you do continue this pops.

I am not sure ^ My achievement popped right after the "sex" scene. It may be glitched for you although this is the first time I am hearing this happen to anyone that achieved a "sex" scene.

The only other advice I can give is do any other side quests you can and see if any new dialog opens with him or it is possible that you did something wrong as I do not know as I did not romance him.

Shucks...sounds like it may be a glitch. I'll keep playing and update if anything happens. Maybe it will just trigger when I beat the game?

Just to clarify, can you play the game as a female and still romance other females.

Females can romance Sera and Josephine. This wiki has the romance matrix:

By the way, I've just romanced Sera "fully" and this achievement didn't ptok for me. I haven't advanced the main story since moving to Skyhold (Grey Wardens or the Orlesian Ball quests). Instead I've been mopping up XP and completing side missions like the Shards in all the new regions that have opened. Will the achievement be granted when I progress the main story more? I think all of Sera's personal quests are done (romance, gift, the noble prick, etc.)...

Any suggestions?

Advance the main story more, you may have another romance segment with her. Complete up to "Here Lies the Abyss" and "Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts" quests

Walley118, good news (I hope for you too). The achievement did eventually unlock for me.



Amazingly, I have not found a walkthrough online yet that has confirmed this, so I had to play through it myself to find out.

I played a female and romanced Sera, I got the sex scene early on. I didn't get the cheevo until after defeating the final boss. There was an extra scene that triggers it. Hope this helps.

Yup I got mine with Sera after beating the final boss. I did everything else ages ago, though there was one scene I saw on YouTube that I never got where she's worried you'll die. I don't know why I never got it.

This comes down to dialogue and side quests... My friend got the achievement with Dorian and he was male elven before he completed any of the main quests stated in the guide. Each character has hundreds of dialogue choices as every one knows, so you keep getting approval from them, but Dorian had a few side quests, (Hunt Venatori, Meet up with a family member, and Acquire an heirloom back) Keep the heirloom until you are on kissing terms and then give it to him saying you did it for him. talk to him again and he says he has left something in your quarters for you, got there, say "it's about time"... Queue male nudity and the achievement...

Great guide really, just for information you can't use this method after the main story is finished. I had to load an older save.

i sent Leliana to get the crest, but she came back empty handed. so what now?
NVM, found on another guide, I must have missed some important ingame text: it has to be purchased from Barnabus in Val Royeaux.

This achievement is missable. so whenever you get a chance, whenever there is an option for the romance dialogue, i advise you hit that. Otherwise you won't get this achievement and will have to start over.

As of now, i am a lvl 19 female rogue. I chose the romance for many of the characters cause i wanted to get at least one of them. But i didnt think that Blackwall would fall for me.

If you want to know who to do your character as, follow this guide http://www.ign.com/wikis/dragon-age-inquisition/Sex_and_Roma...

*Caution: Blackwall stands you up and does a one night stand with you.*

Much like in other BioWare games, romances are included here, as well. This achievement is unlocked easiest with a party member whom your character’s morality lines up with and is involved in your active party, as you will consistently be increasing your approval rating with them. Whenever possible, choose conversation options with them that provide a ‘Heart’ symbol in the middle of your dialogue wheel (romantic dialogue) and say things that align with their morality and state of mind. If they are of a sexuality that does not align with yours, they will decline your advances.

Continue choosing the ‘Heart’ whenever possible and increasing their approval rating to eventually unlock the ability to romance them. 

Keep in mind that this does not immediately unlock once you commit to a person, even though that is the achievement's description. You must further progress the romance to a certain point, different for each individual, to unlock the achievement.

**MISSABLE**

After finishing the last story mission "Doom Upon All The World", you won't be able to romance anyone, or finish any of the romances you had going. Make sure to obtain this trophy before starting this mission, or manually save before the last mission and finish this trophy afterwards by reloading the save file.

There are 8 people whom you can romance. Whether you can romance them depends on your character's gender and race. In order to romance someone, every time you talk to one of them, you need to choose the dialogue option with a heart icon. If you don't see any icons in the middle of the dialogue wheel, go to Options > Interface > Uncheck Hide Tone Icons. If you don't know where everyone is located, open the area map and hover over the black face icons to see who's where. There are a few people who you can flirt with, but not actually romance. Check the list below for those you can romance.

In order to actually romance any of them and receive the trophy, you'll need to do multiple quests for them. Whenever you find yourself in Haven or Skyhold, talk to any of the companions you want to romance and choose the heart option whenever possible. If there's no option to flirt, keep investigating and asking them questions about themselves. If none show up, come back later, or travel to a different location and travel right back for possibly new options. At a later stage, through enough flirting you get the option to "enter a relationship". This isn't enough though, as this won't unlock the trophy. Keep talking to them to unlock their final romance quest which should give you the trophy. If not, keep flirting and talking with them, it takes longer with some people.

These are the people you can romance, which gender and race they prefer and their romance quests.
