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

Just wanted to say hi to the Solas thread. I can't decide if I love or hate Solas....sometimes it's both in the same game.

It seems to me that Solas - Lavellan romance is a lot like Romeo and Juliet. Very romantic and all but tragic.

I admit, I look at everything, especially statues and paintings. This was how I deduced that Fen'Harel was Mythal's General or protector in my second play through. There's a particular painting in Redcliffe Castle as you're going down a staircase. I spent easily ten minutes standing in front of it and deciphering it. I think statues and paintings very often drop hints to us, especially in their placement.

It is indeed! :'( I might just have to do like I do with ME3, play up to a certain point and then *insertrainbowsunshineglitter* headcannon the rest.  After I finish a full playthrough, I'm perfectly happy finishing it in my mind for the rest of my games.

LOL yeah I edited that part because I realized that Solas was sort of the Maker due to creating the Veil.

Maybe he believes in the idea but dislikes how the Chantry portrays it?

I think that Solas has disdain for the beliefs of people, even when they are sometime correct. He also seems to lie sometimes, or at least omit in such a way that what he allows others to believe, is a lie. I want to know more, I want to know the "ending" of all of this, so we can understand Solas better. 

Just have a membership here and at RDF. Its no big deal really.

I'm at both myself. Felt bad she made a post about how sad she was we weren't staying and I really do love that place!

Plus RDF has porn. That's another reason to have a membership there.

Wooooaaahh, this thread popped up fast!
Glad to see several fans made it here from the sinking ship!
Since this is the only elf related thread for now, I'd like to comment about something interesting I came across.
There was an article about tetrachromacy where a person is born with four types of color receptors instead of three. It's rare and those who have it see the world in a far wider range of colors that would look monotone to us. Their vision functions a bit better in low light as well. The downside is that places like grocery stores or malls are overwhelming and draining.
I mention it because it reminded me of the crossroads where only elves could see color while any other race saw gray. There's also the lore that establishes elves as having superior night vision that motivated Loghain to employ city elves because of their night vision. While the description of Briala's eyes as being like cat's eyes would make me think that elves have a tapetum lucidium in the back of their eye and not necessarily being any different from a trichromatic, the crossroads bring about questions as to how do elves perceive the colors around them.

Really??? OMG that's ME! I never understood why I saw things like that! It makes sense now!
