The Blanketfort (crying and throwing up) - The Official Solas Thread [Spoilers]

Wait... why would "Redeem Solas" be an opposite of "Stop Solas"? Both options are about stopping what he's doing - what differs is either the means to achieve it, or the fate of Solas himself.

So, I'm sure this is old news for some here, but I just came across this solavellan vid and daaaamn. So good!

No, I’m talking about the Inquisitor. I used they because it’s gender neutral.

It all makes sense now. We'll likely have to recruit the Fenniquisiton to take him down.

Jump puzzles EVERYWHERE.

So I'm not the only one! We should create a club for Hopeless Completionists.

I'm definitely a member.

There is a mod for that!

There is the possibility that Solas will die regardless at the end but the difference will be in why he dies. For the "stop him at any cost" group he will die because someone (the Inquisitor, new PC or whoever) kills him to prevent his plan from reaching completion, whereas with the "redeem" group they will manage to persuade him that it is no longer necessary, or acknowledges it is wrong, but nevertheless Solas sacrifices himself because that is the only way to stop the ritual at that point.

With the first (destroy) option, he becomes wholly the Dread Wolf by the end and is totally annihilated but with the second (redeem) option he retains enough of Solas that his spirit returns to the Fade and becomes what he originally was (a spirit of wisdom or knowledge perhaps?). Since there are people in Thedas who remember him and care about him, this ensures that when he reforms he retains his memory/identity and is able to communicate with them. When they eventually die, his spirit guides them and protects them on entering the Fade.

That's pretty, Gervaise, and I appreciate it. But I also second Dani's eloquent response. lol

Solavellan has lasted longer than most of my relationships.
