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

There was something in the latest companion video on IGN where someone in game, I think, referred to the murals in the Lighthouse and what they might mean. So, it seems we don't just observe them but can discuss them with our companions.

I may need to watch that again to be certain.

They also said that we should learn more about the Elven gods and their motivations. The crossroads also became a refuge for spirits following the initiative of the caretaker who also helped Solas in his rebellion.
I wonder why the spirits needed protection at that time.

If we get some cutscenes, maybe a young Solas will have some hair .

If one believes the Elven God of Lies they kind of set themselves up for disappointment.

Context for Kings I believe both him and the Inquisitor specifically mentioned this world at points in Tresspasser and not 'the' world. Semantics can be fun sometimes.

That's what I've been saying all those years! He says "THIS world" same way he says he destroyed "the world of the elves" - so, basically, "the world as people know it" and not the destruction of virtually the whole of existence or something.

I've argued with too many people over years confident that Solas basically threatens the entire world, and maybe - maybe - will spare the elves.
No, he did not. That's just an interpretation of his words that part of fandom chooses to believe in, while more than just me argued over years that Soles - a guy whose words often have double, or triple meaning, or are very context-dependent - doesn't necessarily means literal death.

You yourself now bring up how things Solas says often have "enjoy it while you can", but even those statements don't carry the threat of death: just the end to things as people know it. 

That doesn't mean that many people won't die or will not be threatened - we already saw what happened when he gently cut the Veil and the demons started raining on Thedas. But that is a different thing from basically killing everyone (save for maybe elves, or ancient elves).
...OK, so do you believe Solas will blow up the planet (and the remake it) or not?

Or does he mean something less literal, like the rain of demons we all saw in Veilguard already, or the total social and political (and possibly spiritual) upheaval that his actions would surely bring? 
Again, I have to ask, for the millionth time - why do many people who believe that Solas literally wants to destroy most of the world (or non-elven races) assume that people who argue that Solas' plans are subtler and not necessarily AS lethal must mean maybe only some semi-peaceful transition?

Of course there will be chaos, not only because Solas potentially wants to bring magic back to the world that mostly lost its touch with it, but because even the truth about the past and Solas' actions would mean the complete and utter upending of political and religious structures across the whole of continent.

Like, honestly... is that just too little of chaos for some? Because it sure feels like for some this is just not enough... Do people just WANT the threat of Solas to be apocalyptic (even though we already know - since Trespasser - that his actions were a result of trying to prevent the true chaos), otherwise the stakes are just too small to work hard on finding a better solution??  
We already spoke of that multiple times - Solas never speaks of death in Tevinter Nights, in fact he speaks of saving this world. The only source of contention is that he says that elves may find that save world better, in contrast to other races.

Like, sorry, but this passage really shows how much effort Patrick Weekes invested in making Solas words basically a Rorschach test that is mostly reliant on how people choose to interpret them - because I'd point this excerpt as a prime example of Solas NOT intending to just wholesale getting rid of modern Thedas and modern Thedosians.
As mentioned already - he also said he destroyed "the world of the elves", which basically equals to pushing back magic and destroying a civilization reliant on it. It SHOULD tell you something about what he means by "destroying this world and restoring the world of the elves", like IMO he can't be any more clearer than that.
*sigh* I've explained my position so many times now, you basically have no excuse misinterpreting them so badly.
Again, again, again - in what place, over so many years we've argued about the topic, anyone has argued that there will not be at least a threat of death for so many people resulting from this sudden transition?

Like honestly, at this point I have to call this what it is: a strawman argument. You're arguing a position nobody holds - surely not me, and at this point I'm just tired of correcting and explaining it.
It's kinda funny you say this, considering we already know what actions of Rook bring. They may have thought they may have no choice - the consequences of their actions may be bad, but trying to stop the threat at hand is worth the risk.

...Kinda reminds me of someone - in fact, the devs made it extremely clear that actions of Rook are supposed to parallel the actions of Solas, who's doing all that he's doing because he's actually trying to prevent an actual apocalypse.

Did Bioware actually say that? I thought they said Solas sees a lot of himself in Rook, which is not really the same thing.

...Why do you think Solas seems a lot of himself in Rook in the first place?

It is, indeed, the same thing, and one devs intend to build their relationship on - Rook's and Solas' point of connection is being someone who sees a threat and acts to stop it, even if the solution has consequences, including dire ones (that they then have to work to mitigate).

Rook stopped Solas because they assumed that not doing something would imperil the world and many people living in it, even if they didn't fully understand what that would unleash, or decided that not doing anything would be even costlier. Solas did the same with Evanuris.

Even if the context of their actions wasn't exactly the same (the Evanuris do indeed appear to be the biggest threat to Thedas that's ever existed - and it has been characterized as such by either Epler or Busche), their mindset and actions parallel one another.

I was rewatching the latest IGN companions trailer where the companions are chatting together round the table and I formed the impression that Davrin might be sympathetic to Solas' situation in the past.

They hinted that there could be tensions between the group, even if they are working to the common goal of save Thedas from the gods. Possibly whether we follow Solas' advice might be one of the sources of contention and how we ultimately deal with him.
