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

OMG that little smile after the kiss, tho! THAT is what we needed to see in the game. It would have helped so much!

IMO, if Solas had reservations about her survival in the Fade, or wherever they'll be together, he'd never risk taking her with him - but also, it seems that places like regret prison are places where physical sustenance either ain't a problem, or less of a problem, because
Also, since we know that Fade sustenance is a thing and Solas must surely be an individual that knows how to sustain himself on the Fade (in fact, I wonder if it's what makes ancient elves immortal), I don't see why he wouldn't share the secret with Lavellan, and - given all the magical stuff she's dealt with - that she wouldn't learn fast.

gervaise21 It seems we have the answer to that dialogue between Solas and Blackwall, regarding the idea that killing the archdemons is an effective way to end blights. If you kill them all, the elven gods die with them and that means the Veil will be destroyed as well, which would ultimately release the Blight on a larger scale.

My question is... do you believe this was planned all along or do you think the writers just recently came up with this because it would be convenient for DAV? I mean based on what you know from previous games.

For instance, it might be weird that the Old God associated with Elgar'nan is Lusacan and not Dumat, the most powerful of them all.

He says he is dead but not how. However, he also says that it was June who created the eluvians. I think that pretty much confirms that Urthemiel was June because when Morrigan discovers Kieran used the eluvian she is surprised because it would require so much power to change its destination. Now it is possible that Urthemiel would have given him the requisite power but it may simply be because as the creator of the eluvians June would have known how to control them. Then when Flemeth absorbs the Old God soul, presumably it merged with her own, effectively "killing" him as a separate entity. Then since she put Mythal's memories into the eluvian at the end of DAI, she probably put June's memories as well. However, perhaps she didn't and at least in that world state the reason Solas regained control of the eluvians from Briala was because of June. (Which is why he couldn't do it sooner).

Otherwise, June was simply destroyed along with Urthemiel in the ultimate sacrifice. I assume that was the case with the other gods too.

Well, we do have an option to pick whether we commit to redeeming or stopping Solas at all costs in Veilguard, and while I didn't yet play DAVe with Inquisitor who vowed to stop Solas at all costs, there are several things to be done to unlock that ending, and I think sticking to a desire to redeem Solas by Inky is one.

Basically, at the end of the story, we have to through certain steps, do certain things a certain way and complete a small team from Solas past and present, which manages to convince the Dread Wolf to step away from destructive route - that team includes a friendly/romanced Inquisitor that wants to redeem him.

On one hand Lavellan has to leave the world to be with her love, move to regret prison for an unknowable length of time, and commit to trying to soothe the blight, but according to what Patrick Weekes said, the prison wouldn't be terrible LITERALLY, not just metaphorically (I mean, it makes sense - it is still the Fade and the prison is Solas' construct), so um... one small cottage house with white picket fence incoming?

What an absolute piece of shit this man is. What an absolute scumbag. Worst of the worst. I'm not sure you deserve the happy ending I just gave you, you total and utter bastard.
My Rook's face here says it all.



And I love it so so much.
People out there complaining that everyone in this game is too nice like Solas isn't right there.

His relationship with Rook was just *chefs kiss* and as someone who loves this guy so much I never played as an inquisitor who wasn't either kissing him or befriending him - it was really quite fun to play as a Rook who just thought he was an asshole in the face of people who kept defending him. From their constant sniping at the start and Solas being a sassy lil bitch about it. I was really vibing with their dynamic - especially as it felt like the rest of the team didn't care that much about Rook, but here was Solas supposedly giving a damn. Luring me in again with his lies so Rook started to get less arsey with him and actually started to occasionally compliment the guy. Getting to drop this on him later was therapeutic. Cos it's true. I am people.


I was surprised at those that came out to defend him (was it because I picked a redeem world state?) Poor Harding (RIP) defending him, saying that because the Inquisitor felt he could be saved that she wanted to try as well (I felt really guilty hearing her say that, especially now in hindsight after Varric), Varric's ghost or whatever that was in the prison, having been murdered by him, still being like 'he is a good dude really, just needs a friend' and what? Varric, pls. He killed you, then used blood magic to convince Rook you were still alive before shutting her in that damn prison, he's not a good guy. He's a bad guy my dude. My Inquisitor of course saying she would be happy to be back with him. Then even Emmrich gave a speech saying this:


My Rook was not the forgiving type. She was not my Lavellan. Lavellan is a good, kind woman (who I did a real dirty in the CC. Girl I am so sorry for the butt chin and the lighting that made your face green for the final scenes ) who always saw the best in people and remained diplomatic at all times. Rook was always meant to be her opposite in that she was more rogue and quite frankly, such a weirdo. But she put aside her feelings of drop kicking him in the face, as the two exes of Solas talked him down. She gave clearer heads the chance to say their peace. Then when he broke down crying I must admit - that hit. It helps that Gareth David-Lloyd is so good (like damn he really outshines everyone in this game - although I got a lotta love for my Northern lass). But wow, I'd been cussing him out so bad throughout Act 3 and then suddenly I was getting misty eyed. The whiplash. I folded like paper. I hate him but damn do I love him. That final scene with them together? I am not too sure of the fate I sent my Inquisitor on but I think I am ok with it.


Also, as someone who doesn't love the art style (I think it took be 40 hours to finally get used to it - i really liked how Solas looked in this end scene - not the bloody and bruised (DESERVED) but his whole animation was great. Like when he was clutching the dagger as Mythal talked to him. His crying. Just everything. Yeah, really nice.
