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

It sounds like the same statue on which thousands of elvhen were sacrificed to manage to get the carving done within a single day
Now that I think about it, what if there was an actual reason for such a ridiculous effort ? At first I thought of it as yet another proof of the madness of these arrogant evanuris but maybe there was a need to "desacrate" it very fast idk

Mouse was only being all nice and helpful (whilst also lying to you about who/what he really was) to try to trick you into letting him possess you.  He was the real test after all.

I think the writers kind of dropped the ball there actually.  If you believed Mouse and said, "Yeah sure I'll take you back to the physical world, come with me!" then what should have happened was a cutscene back in the Circle tower where you character turned into an abomination and the templars killed you.  Then you have to reload.  Because that was the whole point of the test - are you smart enough/strong willed enough to NOT let a demon possess you.  Making it unfailable (yes that is now a word) just kind of cheapened the whole idea.

Yeah something like that happened in an old RPG I played called Breath of Fire II. If you refuse to aid the Dragon keeping the evil sealed within, the games ends right there saying the seal broke and everyone died!

It also happened in Witcher 2. I lost to a fist fight and got hung and if I angered Roche I get killed at the very beginning of the interrogation!

I could see that with Trespasser too. It would be like "refuse" in ME. You tell Solas you will help him, you both go through the mirror and it ends saying the Veil was torn and everyone died. 

Choices and consequences, I like it!  But it also happens a little bit in DAI ... if you get kicked out of the Winter Palace is one such case.  Ok that might be the only one but still, at least they put that in there.

I thought so at first too but then found out nope he just reveals himself and lets you go.  I was all like SRSLY WTF?!  ><

I admit though, the first time I played the Mage origin I was thinking aww poor guy.  Then the last fight with the rage demon and I'm thinking well that was too easy and Mouse is saying ooo you're so powerful take me back with you!  And it clicked and I was like ok now I get it.

I would kinda love to see them try to put Solas through a Harrowing.  It would be hilarious.  Because you know he'd be like, You've got to be kidding me, you people are morons.  Then he'd just make friends with whatever spirit/demon they send and wander around the Fade for awhile.

Tin-foil hat time: It's been awhile for me, so hopefully this doesn't come off too crazy. I believe that Metroid Prime series has had a big inspiration on the ME series and DA. When the idea of Lyrium was first introduced in DA:O, I thought of Phazon, from the planet Phaaze. It is mined and sold by pirates, much like Lyrium is mined and sold in DA - there are many similarities that I could easily ramble on about, but I'm gonna try to keep this specifically Titan focused. I think the Titans are inspired (not exactly the same) by Phaaze, a living planet that produces Phaaze, its blood essentially which looks like the following:



When Phazon mutates (this could be natural, it isn't clear), it looks like this:


Okay, so...Titans, I believe are inspired by this idea - not necessarily based on. I theorize the Titans are the planet that Thedas is on and is consciously separated into different parts, effectively like being different entities in one. The dwarves are native children born from the Titans without the influence of the various realms (and yes, I have my Metroid theories (Aether and Dark Aether) for those too, but don't want to get too TL;DR - although I probably already did. 

IllustriousT I love that idea! It makes a lot of sense. Question is, how did Mythal kill one? Was there a core she found or did it form into something tangible?

Elessara I have never been stabbed in the back so much than I was in DA2! Even my best friend! And Orsino... WTF I just joined you and you went all Harvester on me??

I know but he really needed something besides a kiss

Thanks for helping with all my questions and theories guys! I am compiling a bunch of ideas and wish to see if anything actually happens come DA4 lol and also after replaying both DAO and DA2 after Trespasser it really gives me a whole new perspective on things. I hope to share my composition when it's completed!

Don't forget the dalish archer i use a stick with a glowing gem but it's not a magic staff or anything it's for aiming you don't understand from the chargers

Aww...Chibi Solas

And Skyrim Solas I want this mod...

Good ol' Cole.   My Lavellan is not giving up on Solas either. Great work Amburu !
