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

Yet I still can't find any genuine proof that having to choose between Inquisitor or new protagonist is better than having BOTH Inquisitor and new protagonist. I mean I really would like to play both of them in the same playthrough.

Wow...... Such feels..... Much awe.... wow..*starry eyes*

Yeah, I can't find words... T^T Such talent to capture so many emotions in one pic.

LOL If only we had his legos...all would be made clear.

I trust Weekes and the other writers to present us with another great Dragon Age game, but I don't trust them to give Solavellan resolution. The romance was an unexpected divergence from the plan. Dragon Age is David Gaider's baby. He had some sort of plan for where this all was heading. Weekes came up with the Solas romance alone and managed to to get it added in. Either the Solas romance will become completely irrelevant in the future, or the plan is going to have to change to accommodate the romance. I wonder if they will be willing to change the plan for the Solasmancers' sake given that they are a minority. The future of the Dragon Age universe isn't set in stone, but they might have had the general fate of major players worked out a long time ago (including the Inquisitor and Solas). It might be way too much trouble to make allowances for a relatively rare world state. I don't think Weekes intended to leave people eternally disgruntled over the Solasmance (they already went through that with Thane), but the company and the narrative necessities of the next game(s) may force that outcome. I too hope he isn't headdesking.

I expect much hope and dread until we hear more about the next game. Team Optimism?

I keep mentioning the Solasmance elf I'm working on, and I posted her pics elsewhere and thought I'd share here.

Anise Levellan; elven mage. I haven't settled on an age yet, but minimum is 40. A widower with two grown children; she has led an interesting life. I intend to tie her to events from Origins, DA2, and she's been to at least 2 Arlathvhens. May even make her connected to Briala in some way. (obviously all head cannon.) I'm polishing her special for a Solasmance as I've never successfully had one. I have tried before and couldn't handle how confused that character was. I had never played a Dalish and just had no clue how to be one; so I started my research by playing a Dalish in Origins. She will see Solas as more of a colleague with a specialt, putting them on even footing....rather than "oooo, he's so wise" *bats lashes* that I've seen some others describe. She'll take the news about the tattoos in stride, and definitely not remove the vallaslin that has been part of her identity for over 20 years.

Will most likely ally with the mages, drink from the Well, and disband regardless of who is Divine. Depending on how angry she is at Solas after the reveal, I do not know if she will redeem or hunt him down (i'm hoping for redeem, though). I've pondered remaking her to have Mythal's tattoo but I also like the God of Secrets. Oddly enough, she may actually become friends with Vivienne due to respect for a fellow scrabbling survivor; a first for me. I tried to make her age subtle but present; sunken cheeks, mild wrinkling, thinner lips, graying hair.



What do you think? Shaping up to be worthy of Solavellan hell?

Add that to the references in the lore to ancient elven rituals at and the power of magic in the stones of skyhold (and the like) and iirc also something about how the ground there was bloodsoaked once.. It definitely happened there.

I hope he didn't sacrifice anyone. As far as I know not much about his character suggests that he would, but... then again, he would sacrifice everyone in current Thedas to get his world back. 

Question: do you guys think that the Evanuris are all related to each other, like in the Dalish stories about the Elven pantheon?

I think he used his orb and then fallen asleep due to being exhausted. If his first idea to bring down the Veil was getting to face by creating Anchor with the orb I'm sure he did the reverse before. I theorize that the ancient elven artifact that we activate during the DAI were used to repel the Fade too. Firstly I can't imagine Solas using life sacrifice in any kind of ritual (Flemythal was whole different story, and I don't believe her to be dead). Secondly the only way (as we know now) to utilize sacrifice is to resort to blood magic, and we know that he doesn't practice it.

Solas The horrible cost of his actions was the destruction of Elvhenan. I can't just imagine that he approaches his freed slaves and says to them that they must sacrifice themselves to put up the Veil. The separation of Fade and reality looks like one of his quick reckless decisions and probably he pulled out by himself. 

I think they were like ancient greek or egyptian gods literally. I can see Elgar'nan and Mythal as god-kings just like Osiris and Isis with couple of children, the rest being noble heroes, viewed on par with other gods. So yes, they would be just like Dalish perceive them, but less benevolent goods, more powerful nobles constantly squabbling between themselves.
