The Blanketfort (DREAD WOLF SUMMER)

Me keeping my eyes and ears out for DA4 & new Solas stuff, while everyone else is having fun playing ME:A:

At least it's a distraction.  And I'll be honest, glitches and bugs aside I really do enjoy ME:A.  It's gotten me interested in the ME series again.  Let's hope they don't screw it up like they did last time.  Which isn't to say I don't want to hear news about DA - I really do.  But this makes the wait easier.

Hmmm....since the DA lore guy Ben is leaving BW, I wonder if that's going to cause any whoopsies or snags in the lore we get for DA4 and/or other DA games? Shit could get weird interesting guys.

Well, maybe the new protag gets to 'learn' some new and interesting 'facts' that contradicts past established ideas *cough* (as an excuse for lore change)

Prior DAI, I always thought that mages were precious amongst the Dalish. With Sabrae and Aileron that seemed to look at them with high regard.
Then enters Minaeve in the picture.
Always count Ferelden as having that 'Bro' factor. Come Trespasser, enters Arl Teagan in the Exalted Council. He should just stick with his old hair style and leave his hat and new attitude at home XD LoL.

To say it mildly, I was 'surprised' by the sudden change of tone.

Come DA4.. not really sure how things will swing, which one will stay the same and which one we'll get to see through different light. Since I kept the Inquisition, I hope they wont do something mucho drastic like what they did with the Grey Wardens. Man, that would be very painful.

But I'm SO much curious what will they do with Solas? What part of his story will change and what will stay the same?

I can't deny that I really want to see Fen'Harel in full glory. The Dread Wolf, not a wolf plushie this time X)
The Mastermind, the trickster, cold and calculating.
Perhaps I'm dreaming too much about dual protagonists in the next game.
I always imagined him giving the new Protag a hard time, that one antagonist you respect and fear. Your worst nightmare, but can't seemed to hate either.
But when the IQ shows up (and depending on your relationship from DAI) you can either :

1. Suddenly feel the sharp contrast of his character being kind and forgiving. Who knows, later in game, you get to know that he earnestly tries to save you (again) but failed in doing so this time. And it's kinda heartbreaking for both sides.

2. Or trully as the Dread Wolf who gives you no quarter because he knows how dangerous the IQ can be. Tries to kill / trap the IQ, but failed. One is determined to destroy the other.

Arg.. I know this is mainly about lore specifically XD sorry for derailing.
And I'm so sorry too if my fanfiction sorta bleeds out a bit XD (much drama, must be that time of the month again I guess)

I'm just soooo curious and this is coming from someone who's besties with him. Can't even begin to imagine you people who romance the egg. I only hope it will be worth the wait for you guys

And Nipuni's other one :

So, tell me how your Lavellans feel about the worst outcome. Would they kill Solas if there were no other way to stop him?

Yes, it is a hypothetical question.

If there was no other way to stop Solas from doing something horrible... would my Lavellan be able to end his life... for the greater good. That is a good question... that I'm having trouble answering I think, if say Solas was possessed by some type of force or corrupted by it, then yes, she would last resort kill him, but if it's just Solas making the decision to do something terrible, then I don't think she'd be able to. Her foolish faith in being able to make him see what was right, in her mind, and stop him from going down the path he is would either be with her to the end, or would turn to crushing despair and hopelessness if she realized she truly could do nothing to sway her love.

My Solavellan inquisitor would only kill him if she was suitably impressed by his power - independent of any danger he might pose to the world. She has a... very weird concept of "honoring worthy foes" with a good death. If she came to perceive him as a full-fledged god, even a good god, she'd want to fight him simply so she could own a necklace of god's teeth. She's currently on the Redeem path. So, needless to say, she finished Trespasser unimpressed. To be clear, she's still down to tangle leggings when his plan inevitably faceplants and he "comes to his senses" (these are her ideas, not mine). But she doesn't consider him worthy of battle.

My Adaar is a big ol' softie, so he would be much more hesitant to kill Solas, even if necessary. Plus he's the kind of guy who, if you told him "don't open that box, there's a demon-" he'd have already opened the box, struck a deal, and somehow summoned 5 of the demon's buddies. If he sees a risky, ill-advised choice, he just can't help himself from picking the most exciting option. "Whoopsie doodle daisy I let Ragnarok happen" is right up his alley.

I'm glad you like her! I came up with the idea sort of partway through the playthrough. I tried soloing a dragon, just to see if I could, and realized my Inquisitor was basically a death fetishist. I was just imagining the scene - the Inquisitor slips off in the night, alone, and everyone's wondering where she went. Then she comes back with AN ENTIRE DRAGON CORPSE on her shoulder, like it's nothing.

That is not the behavior of a normal person with mainstream beliefs. That's the behavior of someone who feels it's dishonorable to challenge a dragon with her allies, because it would grant her an unfair advantage over a dragon.

Funny you should mention Qunari. After my Cadash playthrough, I'm thinking of playing a Qunari hippie. "They keep misinterpreting Koslun's words! Koslun taught us to be in harmony with nature and leave others in peace, man. All these warmongers aren't true Qunari, they're just using it to, like, keep everyone in line."

Not sure what race they'll be yet, but slightly leaning toward elf, just so I can be amused by Solas romancing a Qunari.

 Realistically my Lavellan will try to save him first but if there is no other way? Than to put it simply, yes she'll kill him, she's no pushover. I can't say the outcome will be good for her afterwards though; losing her entire clan, Vallaslin and finally the man she loves at her own hands, she'll probably kill herself and be done with it after she's sure the world and her friends are safe.
