Hmmmm.... okay, time to focus on some story tidbits surrounding Inky in relation to Solas. First - it does seem like Morrigan and Inquisitor are buddies in Veilguard; with Morrigan advising Inky, and Inky knowing this older, wiser Morrigan well enough to trust her advice. Anyway, given their experience in DAI and current friendly relationship, Inky has to know about Mythal's memories and - given that we also know that Morrigan knows about content of Solas' regrets - they're also probably privy to its contents. Never mind that they stumble upon the first piece of his memory somehow - the one that triggers being able to view all the others. And Morrigan tells Rook that only Inquisitor could bring that memory figurine to them, which... hmmmm. I HAVE to wonder how Inquisitor stumbled on that. Did they just recover it from Venatori/Antaam that managed it to snatch from parts of Crossroads we didn't see? Did they themselves explored that part of Crossroads? ...Or did Inky just got woken up by the figurine falling on their head one night?  I assume the statuette was sent to her magically somehow. Whether it was intentional on Solas' part or not is hard to tell. It might just be a result of his regret surrounding her, the same way the others manifested near his other regrets.

Have you been able to recreate your Lavellans? I spent more than an hour in CC and despite my best efforts, fucjed up her jaw  It's so sad I can't redo her and first time you can see your results in a game happens mid-story RIP my aspirations to use flycam  For ref: DAI  ![]() DAV (CC)  Ingame T_T (every time she turns, profile is...bad)  The curse of bad lighting was kept specifically for inky |

What is everyone's opinion on Solas killing Varric at the beginning? |

What is everyone's opinion on Solas killing Varric at the beginning? It sucks, but Varric knew better than to go hand to hand with the Dread Wolf. There was only one way that could have ended.

I didn't want to? The thing with my DAI character is that I could never create her the same (or even similar) way I've had her pictured in my head; or there were things about the way characters looked in DAI that frustrated me, even after using mods that were available when I played the game a few years back. So, in this regard, my Lavellan now looks much closer to how I picture her. With that said, before my 2nd playthrough, I did re-create her first in Rook's place and spent about a half a day tinkering her looks by replaying the first hour of the game - observing how she looks in several initial cutscenes in Lighthouse, then running back and forth to the transformation mirror and so on, until I've had what I was fine with. To my surprise it pretty heavily affected animations in proper Inquisitor cutscenes, with my 2nd attempt being much more expressive than the first one.

The response is to blame the murder victim? He was just trying to get the dagger, not actually to kill Solas. It wasn't even a self defense kill.

I mean, I never did his romance, and he was never a character that I got along with, I'm very much not an elf person... but in VG, after DAI, I kind of get what he's on about.

But I guess one more for the pile of corpses makes no difference, even if it's a massive pile. Okay, this is not cool. A person just told you that they're no Solas stan, yet you still dismissed them. Dismissing someone's argument just on a basis on "because you're a diehard fan (and this everything you say is just emotional drivel)" is not a basis for rational argument, it's just an ad hominem attack. I mean, heck in the game itself, if one talks with Fade!Varric and picks an option "Solas killed you" Varric himself says that Solas didn't mean it. He's had all the chance in the world to turn Varric to stone or explode him earlier; he didn't do it - he only destroyed Bianca. He stabbed Varric only during the chaotic scramble where both sides fought for what they thought was the highest stakes.

Not to mention that on the journey to the ritual site, real, living Varric himself said if it came down to a fight with the Dread Wolf, they would lose. He knew the risks. I was only repeating what he already said.

He was just trying to get the dagger, not actually to kill Solas. It wasn't even a self defense kill. Personally, I think he could easily repel Varric with a non-lethal magical blast or force field.
And really, this is the same guy who spared the Inquisitor in Trespasser even if the latter vowed to stop him.
This seemed rather OOC. |

This seemed rather OOC. Exactly. He chose to do this. Telling me that dagger got in the full 6 inches on accident? Nonesense
