Who do you want to fight?

Omg, I do not know how I’d feel about this. Theoretically I’d love the idea, but at the same time it’s like fighting a friend and ally. It’s devastating to even think about being forced to kill him. I have a feeling I’d end up totally torn because you just know the alternative to fighting will be something equally unwanted.




While I do not disagree that Solas isn’t just a nemesis to the inquisitor, I kinda feel like my inquisitor needs the closure of having at least something to do with his demise/redemption. Also, I have a hard time seeing how he could possibly justify his actions so any new PC would want to not kill him. I mean he is trying to destroy the world. Then again, he is The Trickster, could be fun if a trusted advisor turned out to be him in disguise and we had won his respect and he our friendship. Still, I would prefer if my Inquisitor got to be there for the final confrontation in some capacity.




Don’t see a one-armed Inquisitor being a great boss (even if they do have lots of adds). Plus, if they were willing to let us fight them, they’d have no problem letting a Lavellan join Solas and becoming a boss instead of an ally (Imagine the feelings involved in killing your own character, it would be absolutely horrible and amazing at once). However, I agree that I’d like to not be a pawn of the Inquisitor, or at least have a choice.

Any chance we can be the bad guy? Taking all the power we can get and trying to rule the world?

Years ago, the Warden let Sten out of that cage. Now I intend to put him in the ground.

I still find it doubtful they will make the inquisitor either a playable character or an enemy, they made that pretty clear in the end of trespasser. Also they usually go for new story, new PC. At any rate. Here are the scenarios as I see them:


PC/Inquisitor agrees on either killing or redeeming Solas:
•The PC fights him and when they defeat him they get an option to either kill/redeem him themselves or let the Inquisitor have the honors.



PC/Inquisitor disagrees:
•The PC fights him and when they defeat him they get to have a speech (redeem) or get ready to deal the killing blow. Then the inquisitor interjects themselves between the two, stating either that he deserves to repent or that he needs to be dealt with permanently. Then the PC gets to choose between dealing with him themselves (Sticking to their original plan) or let the inquisitor get their way (changing their mind).




If you really want to feel like you are playing a different character, you could even get opportunities to change the mind of the Inquisitor during the main quests. Kinda like when you get to choose whether to “unharden” Leliana in DA:I.




This could work as well. Also, it’s how I think they should have made DA:I, so that Corypheus is defeated earlier and Solas is revealed as a new bad guy to deal with.


At any rate. In my mind, the ultimate way of redeeming Solas (at least if romanced) would be for him to try and kill the PC, then the Inquisitor jumps in front and gets hit instead. The sudden realisation that he is responsible for the eminent death of his (only?) friend/lover is great enough that he repents. If they plan for a happy end, then he uses the (rest of the) power he needed to tear down the veil, to heal the Inquisitor instead. If they want an open end, then he merely assures the PC that he has learned his lesson. Then he either leaves alone through an Eluvian/fade rift. If it’s his lover, he takes her body with him, so we can headcannon that he manages to put her to sleep before she dies and is watching over her until he regains enough power to save her or something.


Like I said, makes most sense to a romanced Solas.

If he is in the game I truly hope he won't be turned into an powermad blood magic-humping villian in order to make Dorians and Maeveris group Tevinters only hope or something like it.

I know it’s called Dragon age, but the amount of High dragons we have defeated by now is ridiculous. In DA:O it felt like something special, In DA2 you can at least say it’s Varric exaggerating Hawkes accomplishments. In DA:I there’s just too many of them. It doesn’t feel special anymore, even thinking back on the archdemon, it now feels like “just” another dragon. I would much rather have a few that are late/end game.




Is this part canon? I haven’t read any off the Comics/Books, so I’d like to know if it’s official or not :-).

 you are hardcore.

Those colossal golems protecting Minrathus. I want to conquer that city and I'm gonna have to go through them to do it.

+1 to fighting the Inquisitor. That would certainly help me pick my canon... right now I’m leaning toward the mage Adaar, but if there’s an Inquisitor bossfight I’d have to go with the elf. She’s a nightmare mode unto herself.

I’m sure the AI wouldn’t gear or control her anywhere near optimally, and DA4 is likely to have the same mechanic where stealthed enemies are slightly visible to the player, so her power move would get hit with the nerf bat. But dammit, I can dream.

I just want that horrifying cutscene where she swills a mighty offense tonic, pulls out a dagger, and vanishes. This crazy motherfucker soloed Gurd, what chance do I have?

Soloed Gurd, on what difficulty?

Solas. He knocked off HBIC Flemeth.

Also cause I’m lactose intolerant.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if Tevinter and Par Vollen are all gearing up for war, Solas is doing his stuff, the titans begin to stir...

...and suddenly Those Across the Sea decide it’s a perfect moment to colonize the shit out of Thedas.
