Finding all 12 of Love Letters in Dragon Age: Origins is part of a side quest called Correspondence Interruptus. Our walkthrough for this quest shows how to initiate this side task and the exact locations of all Love Letters sought by the Barman in Gnawed Noble tavern in Denerim.
Most of the Love Letters are hidden in locked chests that you need to open first. This means that you need to learn lockpicking - more on this topic in How Lockpicking works? page of our FAQ chapter.
Accessing the side quest
- Correspondence Interruptus quest can be initiated in Denerim's Market District.
- You need to enter Gnawed Noble tavern and talk to the Barman. He will ask the party to retrieve 12 Love Letters. A possible facilitation here is that they are treated as quest items, which means you cannot remove or sell them.
