The general theme of your character’s conversational responses in Dragon Age 2 will affect the tone of voice and personality of your character, though choosing other types of choices often enough will swing it the other way again, so nothing is set in stone. If you’re wondering what those icons mean as you make your way through the conversations, here’s a quick list:
Broken heart – rejects or ends romance
Checkmark – accepts the offer
Clenched fist – aggressive response
Crossed swords – initiates combat
Diamond – Charming response
Gavel/hammer – direct, blunt response
Halo over wings – helpful/kind
Head silhouette – calls on companion to allow them to respond
Heart – flirty response
Laughing facemask – Joker, humorous response
Olive Branch/leafy branch – Diplomatic response
X – Rejects the offer
Rarer Icons:
Falling Coins – Bribe, pay, or extort response.
Fingers crossed – Lie
Question mark – Investigate, ask questions to learn more about something
Star - Unique choice with unusual or special outcome
