Y'all I turned 30 earlier this year and I'm just now realizing I've spent 1/3 of my life waiting for this game to come out.
I can't wait to see what Bioware has planned for us. 🥹

I turned 39 this year, so I was 29 when Inquisition came out and I’m just over here like “Damn, I was that young?!” Middle-aged Rook is a go. LOL

I thought the wolf form would be....bigger. The Mortalitasi in Tevinter Nights said he was the size of a high dragon. I'm not saying it isn't fucking fantastic, just not what I was prepared for. Poor Solas. “I thought you’d be… bigger.” Bwa-hahaha

I wonder if that scene with Solas in the very beginning will look different if you're playing an elf Rook. With colors and such, instead of drab grey. Like Trespasser. I would think so.

I'm not so sure, given that it's only Crossroads that looked different for elves. I don't remember Vir Dirthara looking different, only Crossroads. And this is not Crossroads, but somewhere in the Fade where Solas is trapped (also, I have to wonder if those rules still apply, given all the changes to the world and/or characters) I also think that the place being black and white sets up the mood - that of a battleground after an epic fight, now filled with destruction, ash and silence. TBH I don't think I want it colored.

So, is everyone okay with the fact that Solas had his plans foiled so quickly? It usually takes the whole campaign to accomplish that.
It is especially strange because he supposedly is far more intelligent than the previous antagonists.

It is especially strange because he supposedly is far more intelligent than the previous antagonists. Are they foiled completely, or is it just a minor setback? I honestly have no idea where they are taking his story. He appears to be out of the fade when in his wolf form, so who knows how long he's actually trapped there.

Or it could be that dragons or the wolf could be separate entities that are otherwise remotely controlled

This makes me wonder if one of the themes of the game will be Solas's lone wolf act versus the togetherness of the Veilguard.

So I've been doodling around in DAI to try and pass the time, and I'm still in Haven. Occasionally, I have a chat with the kind but quiet and enigmatic elven dreamer and I must say, I'm having trouble reconciling the two images. Like, how can they be the same? How can he turn into that? Lol it does not compute.

SO MANY QUESTIONS Didn't Weekes confirm a literal shape-shifting? It was ages ago, on Twitter, so who knows if it's still around, but I swear it was there.

I don't think it was posted here, but there is a new Solas art from the artbook. I wonder if there is any significance to the fact that his headdress looks very similar to Morrigan's, except she has a central spike and he has a couple of extra horns. It is very unlike Solas to have any fancy headgear other than his wolf skin head covering to conceal his identity. Does this reflect his new attitude towards his ancient enemies, perhaps owing to the influence of Mythal. He is no longer the humble wanderer, working in the shadows, but now he is full on Fen'Harel, ancient god and their equal.

Or it could be that dragons or the wolf could be separate entities that are otherwise remotely controlled There is a possibility that is the case based off some of the earlier concept art they released, like this: I always thought his DAI tarot card showing the wolf just related to his alter ego in legend and in the Fade but it could be it is an actual wolf that he has split his soul with, the same as Corypheus did with his dragon and likely the other Evanuris have done as well. If that is the case then it is an ancient elven, rather than a blight creature thing. This seems likely since he was surprised that an ancient human Magister had discovered the secret of "effective immortality" from death. The only thing is the wolf in the picture has normal eyes and the one in the trailer had six, just like we've seen in other artwork of the Dread Wolf, including the latest one.

Yes, I think it reflects the mind of Solas and that is why it appears as it does. He is bitter and angry, all his plans have come to naught and his enemies are on the loose. Why would it look any different?

So after doing a bit of digging, I see that I did indeed misjudged the size of the wolf form. Based on the promo image, those blue lamp things are roughly the size of a standard human. Now compared to the wolf, those lamps look pretty minuscule. Like, not even as big as his one paw. So! Anyway... EDIT: On closer inspection, they may not be the same lamp. Hmm.
