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

I appreciate the consideration.

Same here and I thought I was over him but it would seem not. That really did surprise me.

Who TF is Solaris

A second cousin of Solas and Salos. 

He is the missile aimed at the forsaken heart of Thedas, the one we will not see coming. He is a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a furry cloak. He is Solaris.

Too often on that last one, imo. Very rare that a character survives their redemption, especially if their evil deeds led to deaths, and especially in more recent media.

I think you are missing something. We aren't offering him redemption. We were given the choice of "redeeming" Solas.

In game that results in the dialogue "I'm going to prove you wrong". I objected to that on the grounds it had nothing to do with redeeming him or making him see that destroying the world and killing loads of people is wrong, which in fact he already knows but intends carrying on regardless. Essentially that reads to me that you will prove to him the world doesn't have to die to achieve his aims, which is rather different. He isn't atoning for his sins because so far as the present is concerned, he won't be committing them.

Now it could turn out that Solas is forced to make a noble sacrifice to prevent his plan coming to fruition and thus redeems himself after being shown the error of his ways but that isn't what the choice in Trespasser implies. Nor does the epilogue where you say "We're going to save our friend from himself."

The Keep also says: "The Inquisitor believes Solas is making a tragic mistake and intends to save him, if at all possible."

That qualifier does seem to suggest it could all end in tears but the essence of the choice is that your priority is saving Solas, whereas if you choose "stop him by any means necessary", the focus is on saving the world rather than on saving Solas.

In the end it could all mean nothing because there is going to be a third person involved in this, the new Hero. Depending on what happens to them, they could only see him as the Dread Wolf and it would never occur to them to try and save him.

Nothing to see here, nothing at all.

It hurts, but its also perfectly accurate and I now accept it as headcanon. lol

You shouldn't need Twitter to click on the link and see the tweets...

I remember the first time I saw Solas' greatest fear, my internal reaction was: "You won't Solas, you'll always have me". I suppose I should have questioned more why that was his greatest fear.

no problem
