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

In a recent presentation about the creative process involved in Trespasser, PW and another guy, said how another member of their team on Dragon Age is Solasmancer Prime so everything had to satisfy her with regard to how they dealt with the romance because they would never hear the end of it if they didn't. (I'm paraphrasing here but that is the impression I got). Now I don't know if Solasmancer Prime was involved in the initial decision to make Solas a romance but I'm guessing she may well have been one of those who wanted to romance him, so it probably didn't hurt to have someone on the team arguing the case for it.

I know it was also revealed at some point, I think by PW, that Solas was originally going to be more like the Dalish view of him as a trickster, with him being a much less sympathetic character anyway. So then having decided to change the approach to the character in general, someone probably suggested going a bit further and making him a romance just to add that extra element.

I will, I will, it's just it's so much writing and I should be doing other real-life things, but instead I write about Solas on forums because I just love this story so much.. *hides under a rock*

Personaly I would prefer playing 100% as Inqy. But as long as it's Inquisitor who talks to Solas, and makes decisions about Solas, then I guess I'd be partially ok with it (although now totally happy) I guess it's because if you are familiar with the character it gives you this additional immersion into the story

we're so not gonna be ok, whatever happens.


If they don't do it properly : we not ok
If they do it properly : OMG ITS SO SAD WHY DO I HAVE FEELS I HATE EVERYTHING I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD BE ANY SADDER WHY WEEKES WHY ARE YOU SUCH A GENIUS WHY I LOVE YOU WHY YOU DO THIS OMG AH TAKE MY MONEY TAKE ALL OF IT I HATE YOU *hugs*

This place is more of a home than a thread...

*Forven sips some sujamma* I'm impressed the new Solas became the new Shartan in giving his people a homeland. Kudos, serjo.



Also, I'm now going to imagine Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold" was playing during your showdown with the Imperium.

I accused Solas of stealing Lynroy's mustache on the the Introduce Yourself thread but Lynroy piped up to say it wasn't so.   (Instead it's a "cloned" mustache.)

How does this thread always have like ten new pages since I last checked it?

I know the secret to elven facial hair.

 I was thinking that it would be simply players choice at the beggining of the game: for example you may choose to play an Inquisitor who's not involved in any romance, and have new romances. Or maybe continue romaces with Dorian / Cassandra if they would appear agian in DA4. Or have your romance with Cullen / Josephine just mentioned. Or if you don't want that, play just as a new character. That way you have the most freedeom to choose what you woud like to experience in the game.

But that's the point, at the beggining of the game you could choose to play as Inquisitor or as a new character. You wouldn't have to play as Inquisitor if you didn't feel like it, because you are for example new to the franchise. I don't think I explain it properly

I was thinking, you could have the same story (for example build new organisation, infiltrate Solas' forces, stop Solas), wether your character would be Inqy or completely new. The new character and unromanced Inqy could have new romances, romanced Inqy could continue romaces or just have them mentioned. Something like that.

But I'd love to be double agent in Solas' organization! Great idea! Oh my it would be so cool. You would have to lie to your party (assuming that mos of them would be Solas' agents). The different world views colliding! And it could provide us prof that maybe Solas is not so wrong wanting to bring down the veil.
