Would you guys be less interested in Solas if he really was just a nerdy mage of unremarkable origin? Yes, I would still be interested. My first PT, I was drawn to Solas because I am a super Lore nerd and he was full of it. I wish I could've asked about more - learned more! The revelation in Trespasser just made it...well...more. Then it was replaying the game and going through all the stuff he said with the intention of tearing it all apart for hidden information. The Solas experience just got more mysterious and I love mysterious, complex, and interesting. Editing to add: I was a human in my first PT. Just thought he wasn't romanceable. That did come later.

Would you guys be less interested in Solas if he really was just a nerdy mage of unremarkable origin? Hell yeah! If he was not Dread Wolf, he’d still be super interesting and attractive. And we could’ve actually stay together after DAI. Weeks did an amazing job on his character. Solas, the way he is without Dread Wolf bit, is still complex and intriguing. Imagine, we could have actually have a sex scene with him 😞

Considering I was already interested in him through DAI's release before we really knew anything besides nerd, I would say yes Nerds are my weakness, especially ones with pointy ears lol

Would you guys be less interested in Solas if he really was just a nerdy mage of unremarkable origin? Probably I would have liked him even more. I was waiting for an intellectual male elf to romance since I played Neverwinter Nights 2 and met Sand. Solas-the mage apostate would have been great for me. And it was the main reason I romanced him in my first run at DAI (I was able to play mostly blind, aside the characters sexualities)

Would you guys be less interested in Solas if he really was just a nerdy mage of unremarkable origin? I was part of the OG Thread back on the BSN before DAI came out. We were all down to romance Solas before we'd properly met him. Gareth David-Lloyd definitely helped there, that and my elven trash personality. But yeah, I was all in before I knew just quite what I was all in for. Returning to that thread after finishing the game for the first time having romanced Solas was a trip. We were so happy once. So full of hope and gifs. We returned...to a trauma support group. I am going to miss that with Veilguard. I'm not vibing at all with any of the companions at all so I am not going in all attached to one and getting to go through that mic drop ending with them... and then still being obsessed 10 years later. I feel like Solas - the build up, the story and the continuation has been a unique journey in my life of hyperfixations. Even the music still hits. Just attack me with that Lost Elf Theme from Trespasser and watch my soul leave my body.

Same I still remember the day they did a first look at DAI - and we all got to see the menu screen for quite some time because it sat there going on while they waited to get started. The theme slaps. It really got us all pumped for the game. I had forgotten just how hard that soundtrack goes until recently when I was looking through all my recorded video clips from the game. It's so good. That moment when you reach Skyhold for the first time? Especially with Solas's speech over the top of it just flowing beautifully with it.

That moment when you reach Skyhold for the first time? Especially with Solas's speech over the top of it just flowing beautifully with it. Gotta say... I'm one of those who liked the music from the sort, but similarly to today I've encountered a group of vocal naysayers who were like "Only Inon Zur!" and "Morris' music is so generic. So not Dragon Age. Nobody will remember it in a year" But nowadays opinions I mostly encounter are about equal parts of "ohhhh, Hans Zimmer" and "Meh... I mean good for them for getting a world-renowned composer, but what Trevor Morris did for DAI is iconic; I miss Trevor!" Basically, soundtrack for DAI stood the test of time Which also makes wonder how DAVe music is going to be remembered in 10 years time?

Today I dreamed I was playing DAV. It was a preview with time limit, so I tried to rush to Lighthouse to get that codex entry . My brain is slowly melting Out of curiosity, did your dream tell you what it said? Oh, sorry, missed your post! Sadly no - I woke up before I got to Lighthouse

With John Eppler's justification that DAV has a limited import system because he wants past choices to get better recognition than minor dialogue changes, I expect that Solavellan will have a memorable ending.

One can hope. Several of the devs who ship it seem to be satisfied. We will know in a few weeks.

Am I weird for hoping the “best” ending is a bit difficult to achieve? Like, reliant on a certain choice set that isn’t necessarily obvious but is also logical enough to get if the player is paying attention to story and lore. I don’t want to have to metagame to get it, but I also don’t want it to just be “you made all paragon choices, including petting a griffon that one time, so solas and Lavellan retire together and no one bothers them, the end”. I’d want it to maybe require some optional quests. Like the “good” (or “bad”) ending just requires main story, but best ending requires more effort.
And I don’t mean ending to the overall story of course. I expect we’ll deal with the evanuris basically the same regardless. I don’t think there will be any ending where we don’t win or it leaves Thedas in two or more drastically different world states as a whole. I fully expect solas relegated to cameo quantum state by the end of all this.

I fully expect solas relegated to cameo quantum state by the end of all this. And I think this is more what the title is about - it's not really about saving or condemning Thedas, but about uncovering the continent's past and deciding the fate of Solas (and our PCs - whether Inky or Rook, or both). There will be future consequences, but not as big that they would force Bioware to make a game with two separate world-states or something, stemming from decisions made in the previous game.

I don’t want it spoiled. lol Solavellan will ultimately end up being a variation of however the inquisitor is involved anyway, so I wouldn’t have expected a special achievement for it. I am sure there is one for the story beat where whatever solavellan we are getting happens, tho. It’ll just be the same story beat achievement when hostile inky gets to punch him or whatever.

...well, it kinda-sorta seems to go in direction of confirming Sandal's prophecy, methinks? Although, I also assume there's a high chance that Bioware will do something unexpected or subversive with this.
Also, it goes without saying that we're obviously going to have some sort of confrontation with the Dread Wolf, aside from the one at the start of the game, when we stop the ritual.

I'm am balancing on "go into DAV blind, experience everything to it's fullest" and "look up if solavellan won't be ignored/sidelined and manage your expectations". It physically hurt me playing Trespasser nine years ago. With the teaser and Solas "I suspect you have question" I went in believing I will finally get closure. I recall vividly when I went through his conversation and reloaded few times, thinking I picked the wrong answer or somethin. And then I cried for the rest of the night (which was like two hours) watching their exchange and went to university feeling like shit I don't want to hurt again

For me it was more about confirming we fight Solas, not that he succeeded or not in lifting the Veil. " Faced down demons, dragons, darkspawn, and even the Dread Wolf." I did find another interesting one: A Memory of Blackened Hearts Witnessed the third memory of Fen'Harel.Image: Does it look lie Inquisition crest, or am I tripping?
And, apparently, we could also ascend to would be good status, e.g. evil run. I wonder is this is one of the routes Solas will confront us. Or is it about Black city? Part 12: The Best Tales
Ascended to the throne of would-be gods under the shadow of their legacy.
