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

The new BlanketFort crossed 50 pages without even blinking.



Where is MJ?

Seen it, this is like the best idea ever, I'll buy a giant sheet of paper and try to do this as well (doubt i'm allowed to paint my walls LOL)

IDK, they'll probably want a year of sales and marketing for the game and subsequent DLCs before moving onto the next one. Trailers are fair game though. 

Hahahaha. 

If it helps, there is the fact that Solas is now HUGELY popular and important to the series. Morrigan was in the debut trailer for DAI to get folks excited, maybe Solas will be for DA4's!

I think the antagonists are more obvious this time around. The Arcon and/or Arishock/Stenishock (maybe depending on who you side with maybe or maybe not), plus Solas. 

Like...tranquil?

Nice to see the Blanketfort lives on! And wow, so many pages already! I was a lurker, especially on the Blanketfort on the old BSN.
Big Solavellan fan here. Romanced Solas with my first inquisitor (the lady who is also my avatar) and has been stuck in Solavellan hell ever since... For nearly two years now.
So, yeah... Hi!

As I consider Solas as the "villain" for the next DA, what might be a heretical thought came to me. What if instead of destroying the world as he thinks he actually is restoring the world to how it should have been? One thing DA has always been good for is the surprise. I believe what Thedas fears is their power being stripped from them and returned to the elves whom they have enslaved, harassed and generally mistreated over the centuries. With everything back in proper balance, it is possible that all Blights could end since whatever the taint was came from the Fade. I have a hard time picturing Solas as a villain. On the other hand, given their stellar record of attempting to destroy the world with demon armies, I really do not have a hard time picturing the Wardens fighting just to maintain the status quo. After all, an end to the taint means the collapse of their power. Just a thought.

From what I can recall, Solas never actually says he's going to or trying to destroy the world.  He says that for his people to rise ours must fall.  His original plan was to use the orb to enter the Fade and tear down the Veil which he believed would cause the world to, in his words, burn in raw chaos.  It's possible that would have happened but as for what his plans are now, we don't know.  I believe it is entirely likely that he still intends to remove the Veil.  Whatever he's planning to do, he believes the result will be the destruction of the current people of Thedas.  Although what he means by "our people must fall" is open to interpretation.  Maybe he's being literal and it simply means the current people in Thedas will die.  Maybe he's being figurative and the current political power structures will be erased (our people "falling") and ancient elves will come back and take over (his people "rising").  Even if he's talking literally, does that mean everyone will die or just large numbers of people?

I would like to see a Thedas without a Veil.  It would make for an interesting world setting.  But if there are games to be released later then they'll most likely have to keep the world state the same for everyone.  If the devs plan on the Veil coming down then it will come down regardless of our choices.  That or a Thedas without the Veil will simply be disappointingly similar to a Thedas with the Veil.  Or maybe the change will end up being gradual, maybe we can manage to compromise and have the Veil fade (no pun intended) slowly over time.

So many possibilities!

This is Dragon Age.  Nothing is ever that simple lol.

"Popular..." or "notorious?"    

One can dream...

I know this is pages back but I can't keep up during the work week . This happened to me, too. I only found out when I was chatting up Cullen and he mentioned Blackwall. I was like.. Wth noo haha.
