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

He also caused everything that happened in DAI with Corypheus to happen, so it’s not like he hasn’t done anything yet.

I hope there is an option for those who want him to survive, so long as there is an option to put him down like the rabid dog he is.

Anders in a nutshell.

Maybe we should take the mods up on that thread-moving offer after the DA4 look at TGA on the 10th

...Why would that be indication of Solas being 'spirit incarnate' though?

I mean... I do that myself  

Not to an extent fictional characters can do, but stories do kinda have to simplify or over-emphasize things a bit for the sake of storytelling. It's what most humans do. Most humans on Thedas are also probably 'spirits incarnate' as well. Cassandra is alluded by Cole to be Faith, for example, and we know that Solas in love tells Lavellan that she has some kind of marvelous spirit.

If anything, the whole Solas 'reacting like spirit would' could also be cultural or a result of his upbringing/past experiences, and not necessarily an indicator of his nature as a spirit or something.

Fascinating! I can't wait to check out the video.

I didn't hear it myself, so I don't know what kind of tone PW used and such, but I've read it more as emphasis on Solas psychologically reflecting back what he receives and being pretty much set in stone that way (also - if he's unique that way, that he can't be like other spirits, ey? And we DID have an actual spirit as a companion. Seems more like he's unique, because he's had a very unique life experience), and not necessarily as something to be taken literally... Especially that we know, from Patrick Weekes themself, that elves don't really work in terms of genetics, same way others do.

So why would Solas be 'genetically impossible' in a literal sense, when his physicality and mentality doesn't really work genetically per se - and in fact it's supposed to be an indicator of a nature of an entity that is completely non-physical? Like, spirits 100% don't work in terms of genetics, because they are - well - spirits, and also their tendency to reflect back isn't genetic in itself, but more the way magic (and psychology) works in that world.

Why bother? It’s going to be a new character who has no previous connection dealing with him. May as well have his DA4 thread reflect that.

I didn’t mean just them. I mean by the time of DA4, Solas will be a completely different character who has no connection to the new characters. So having a completely different thread about that new persona fits better than moving this one. It’s not like it’s first time it’s been done for a character.

No, I’m thinking of Mr. “I’m going to destroy the world” Dread Wolf formerly known as Solas. If Tevinter Knights is anything to go off of, he’ll not be using that persons anymore since it no longer serves a purpose and is a known alias.

They stated there will be some sort of video. And on Tweitter said it wouldn't be concept art with devs talking how much they love the series. 

At the request of the OP, this thread has moved to the 'DA4' board.
