I'm slightly ambivalent about it: I kinda see the overall point, but it came as a nasty surprise when it happened. So, yeah, add me to the list of people who "cheated" by leaving her just far enough away to not join in the conversation but close enough to join the fight!
At least that was one that could be fixed using the previous save: I also share another similar peeve with Dragon Age Inquisition that results in getting Nasty Leliana... if you don't interject in a conversation very early in the game at a time it felt it wasn't really your place to do so. Now that one I really didn't appreciate.
