Am I a minority in the fandom for wanting to bitch slap Solas into oblivion? Because my Twitter right now is full of Solavellans, and I feel like an island. I mean, I do have two timelines—one for kicking his butt, the other for redeeming him just for the different options. But my first instinct is to spartan kick him on the prologue. I'm not a Solasmancer in that he's not my first and only but I do have an Inquisitor that romanced him who I tried getting into the romance a lot. Had this game taken place closer to Trespasser in-world, I could see roleplaying an Inquisitor who's more lenient and conflicted about against the man she loved, even if this is what he's doing. However, it takes place almost a decade later, after he broke up with her with a "it's not you, it's me" argument that gave basically no explanation, then actually abandoned her without a word into the night, showed up 2 years later after having had a hand in poisoning the effort she poured her all into building and told her he was doing it for he own good, told her he was going to do something that might destroy the world and won't back down and that it was for everyone's own good, then left her again but somehow thought it was still a good idea to stalk her in her dreams. I roleplayed her as a hardass but when it came to Solas, she was a lovestruck muffin, but I don't see even her, after so long, not wanting to smack some sense into him, with a boulder to the face, preferably.

Yeah, I'm not thinking much of the writing at the moment. This entire thing about "a hero Solas doesn't know" then led to our new protagonist being joined by Varric and Harding who already went after Solas for an entire comic series so if he didn't see that coming then the entire reason for not bringing back the Inquisitor is absolute nonsense. Of course, in the meanwhile the wording changed from "a hero Solas doesn't know" to "a hero they won't see coming" so who's the "they" that this is aimed at? The elven gods? Some other not revealed baddies? Did whoever "they" are know the Inquisitor somehow?
And of course Solas has another choice. He could simply alert the general public to the danger posed by the elven gods - then it would be more than 8 people opposing them. But nooo, he has to go through with his selfish shit that he knows will get a lot of people killed.
Then again... many of BioWare's previous plots stand firmly on a central pillar commonly known as stupidity. It's practically required to make some of their stories work. Look at the mages and templars in DAI. And Solas of course. All do really stupid things that are needed to get the plot going.

I realize he has his fans here. I am not one of them. I think he's nuts. He's a mass murderer and just as big a danger to the world as the other old gods. Instead of allying with him let’s put him behind the veil with the other two! It's never that black and white though. We see this all the time in conflicts in every war, across all civilizations, throughout all recorded history. Rarely are people hellbent on being evil just to be evil. Of course, there are exceptions. But Solas isn't one of them, and I can say that while not being a fan of Solas. Military operations for example, which are relevant to Dragon Age and the Inquisitor, require making though choices that lead to innocent people dying in order to often times save far more innocents in the long-term. Is it fair that those people died? Of course not. Is it sad? Absolutely. Generals, soldiers, survivors often struggle with the guilt. Does that make them bad people? No, certainly not. People with authentic desire to do good can only work with information that they have. I am positive the Inquisitor indirectly and unintentionally killed some innocent people with the sweeping decisions that were made in DA:I and I'm pretty sure we all feel the Inquisitor is a good person. *looks at all the choices my Inquisitor made* Nope, they did good and didn’t kill innocent civilians.

After processing while sleeping (Sorry haven't catch up with the posts): I have to get something out of my mind. I hope you can help me: After seeing the gameplay i was, okay better then the trailer. But now i think of people i want to show DA:TV and i am not sure, if new player can easy get into this. Can someone ask in Discord, how far at the beginning the gameplay section is? The story start very abrupt. I don't think new player like so much info at ones. In all other DA games we start slow on infos. I had have no problem to say to new gamer you don't need the games before. But with this game i am not so sure anymore.

The line in Tresspasser, which I just double checked, was 'then WE'LL find people he doesen't know...we will save our friend from himself...if we can.' And then we have seen this process, in TVN, in the Missing, of the Inquisition sending out agents trying to look for ways to stop him. And then has pointed to the reasons where Solas might know how to infiltrate and get around them. Now granted its a bold choice to, in the opening of the game, send this new protagonist into the middle of Solas's ritual...but then what choice do they have? In either of these things? Its not bad writing for people to follow through in doing what they say they are going to do and what they should be doing.

The pause won't be for dodging/parrying it'll be for power usage Yes, but hear me out: I don't like this action combat neither. But this was only the rough. And if you play it with only the bow, you wouldn't have to use dodging/parring. I hope mage play different. And maybe difficult setting can help with not have to do any of them. Let's wait till we know more.

That I can see, just ultimately Solas escapes with serious wounds. I doubt we'll ally with him. Solas just got a lot of innocent civvies killed. That's not forgivable. I think that is up to us. To kill him or use his help.

So far, so good. Then they personally hang out with the new protagonist by accompanying him/her on their quest to stop Solas. Solas definitely knows about Varric and Harding, two well known Inquisition members. Sure, they might need someone new because the Inquisitor or the Inquisition is no longer in a good place to fight Solas, but that's not the argument that was being made. The argument was "bring someone Solas doesn't know". I would have expected a recruitment in secret, through coded messages or middle men and certainly no teaming up in person because that shoots the entire "Solas doesn't know the new protagonist" right out of the window.

It's one of the things that Solas hates about the present. That people die. When it was just elves they didn't die from old age. I suspect it's one of the reasons he wanted to tear down the Veil. But then he's never cared about anything except those original elves, so F him. I suspect he and Varric are captured by the really bad guys and he drops the dagger for us to pick up. That is the best idea i have heard. That would make sense. I would love that.

It’s having them be under the command of someone Solas has outmaneuvered before so we know is being watched instead of being on their own.

Of course he is - but he also knows a lot more than we do. And he already sacrificed many people to save the world from Evanuris - destroyed the whole of Elvenhan, but saved the world so it could rebuild. For whatever reason he thinks he has to do it again. I realize he has his fans here. I am not one of them. I think he's nuts. He's a mass murderer and just as big a danger to the world as the other old gods. Instead of allying with him lets put him behind the veil with the other two! I am not a fan of him. But i also don't think he is a mass murderer. Solas is more complicated then that. And to understand we need psychological understanding. In short i think he have mental problems. He is a child at heart and is forced to do things he don't want to. That doesn't make the things he do better. You have to protect him and the world from himself. And i hope we can do that by 1. kill him or 2. to put him in house arrest.

Wouldn't be surprised there will be some accessibility settings. They know many of old fans would not be that good with new combat system, so some options to make it easier beyond just lowering difficulty.

I haven't watched any of them because they reek of click baity desperation for views. YouTube seems to be the only place where Veilguard has largely negative reception.
Cinematic trailer is polarised everywhere else, while gameplay reveal is highly praised. Yet on YouTube former is overwhelmingly hated while latter has mixed reception.
It's unique on YouTube, so it's part brigading( likes/dislikes) and part farming for anti-woke content( video uploads).

Disagree on this. This sounds like trying to make him into a woobie who doesn't have full control over his actions. Solas isn't a child and isn't forced to do things he doesn't want to. He is a perfectly mature person who understands the consequences of his actions, yet is still going through with them. It's one thing to make him complicated and add a level of regret to his motivations, and a completely different thing to absolve him of any responsibility for the horrors he ends up inflicting, either directly or indirectly. The latter is not something you want to portray.

I don't know about Varric but i reckon this sounds right for Solas, if they kill him he'll come back like Mythal did so imprisonment makes more sense. It wouldn't surprise me if at some point we can choose to free him or leave him to rot but he gives us information on the Evanuris either way cause they're still his enemies.

As for the dude on the right: his headdress placement in the centre of the in game cinematic teaser combined with Bellara's and Davrin's new vallaslin designs is enough to convince me the one on the right is probably elgar'nan instead of Dirthamin.

It wouldn't surprise me if at some point we can choose to free him or leave him to rot but he gives us information on the Evanuris either way cause they're still his enemies. Remember that shot from the end of the companion trailer that looked like there was another person running from the darkspawn, and it looks like the place we're in is blighted? What if that's a stand in for Solas, we go to where he's being held and try to free him? Or the Inquisitor comes along and they get the option of freeing or leaving him behind and this character is a stand in for the Inquisitor? I suppose it could also be someone completely new without trailer magic to keep some things hidden.

Alternatively though there is a possibility, again based on things we have seen/ other fan interpretations of what we have seen...that we might end up allying with one or both of the other Evanuris to stop Solas as well in the game. Even better if this ends up being an RP choice. Like we get presented a fork in the road option towards the climax 'go ally with Solas, or Elgar'nan.' That would be interesting, though not sure about elgar'nan specifically. He seems like one of the more bastardly ones.

I say it this way because I think the one on the left 'Ghili' is going to have been driven insane by the captivity and Elgar'nan has maintained his faculties.

Am I a minority in the fandom for wanting to bitch slap Solas into oblivion? Because my Twitter right now is full of Solavellans, and I feel like an island. I mean, I do have two timelines—one for kicking his butt, the other for redeeming him just for the different options. But my first instinct is to spartan kick him on the prologue. While I can more or less see where Solas is coming from (given that we don't have the full picture) from my moral framework he deserves to die. It would take some very particular revelations and/or character development on his part to change my mind.

That is the best idea i have heard. That would make sense. I would love that.
I don't know about Varric but i reckon this sounds right for Solas, if they kill him he'll come back like Mythal did so imprisonment makes more sense. It wouldn't surprise me if at some point we can choose to free him or leave him to rot but he gives us information on the Evanuris either way cause they're still his enemies. It would be my dream come true if we could fight with him against the Evanuris, just like old times. Well, us with the Inquisitor, of course.

I could see my Inky debating whether kill or spare her old companion, but for my Rook, who has no previous relationship with him, Solas is committing mass murder. So, the Egg is getting smashed (at least in my first playthrough).
