I mean, the Vidassala was turned to stone and he didn't even look at her. True but she wasn't exactly quiet about her intentions. She bangs the spear on the ground before attempting to throw it and makes the sort of sound that suggests she is about to do something aggressive. Maybe, just maybe, if she had just thrown the weapon without signalling her intent she might have had more success, assuming of course that Solas didn't have some magical barrier protecting him anyway, which he probably did. Besides, I think he was deliberately trying to provoke her into becoming his last statue and knew that denigrating her in Qunlat would be the final straw but nevertheless gave her the opportunity to retreat gracefully. So, what I had in mind more was the archer sneaking up on him from the shadows and then firing her weapon without giving him any warning. It is likely that magical arrow is capable of by-passing any magical defenses he might have put in place, so it is just possible their attack could be successful, even if he did turn them to stone immediately before it hit.

I kinda wonder if we even have a counter measure against Solas' new(old) Medusa/Basilisk glare... I mean, the Vidassala was turned to stone and he didn't even look at her. And if that wasn't enough, remember he's also a Dreamer and who knows what other powers he might have. There's that nasty purple fire from Trespasser too and he now has the red lyrium idol. He's gonna be a handful, that's for sure. Yeah, this has come up before and it'll be interesting to see if we come up with some kind of defense, or a way to strip him of some of his power (eg. removing Flemeth's power from him), or some combination of these. I suspect we'll foil whatever plan he had to deal with the Evanuris (intentionally or unintentionally), maybe the Inquisitor gets involved and that makes him hesitate/re-evaluate (depending on their relationship), and in turn it all goes sideways and the Evanuris get their revenge on him. Maybe Varric's narration about being "someone they never see coming" really is the goal here. Perhaps we operate under the radar until we can get close enough to act.

And if that wasn't enough, remember he's also a Dreamer and who knows what other powers he might have. There's that nasty purple fire from Trespasser too and who knows what else he might get from the red lyrium idol. He's gonna be a handful, that's for sure. Yeah, this has come up before and it'll be interesting to see if we come up with some kind of defense, or a way to strip him of some of his power (eg. removing Flemeth's power from him), or some combination of these.

I'm all for playing a sneaky nobody who Solas doesn't think is worth the effort, until...you know, its too late
but that makes me wonder about that line his VA said during the behind the scenes vid from last August "They call me the Dread Wolf, what will they call you once this is over?"
I'm curious as in to what context he'll say this line, if it's even in the game to begin with.

Honestly that liine had 'trailer line' all over it. Sounds dramatic and is advertising this is a fact that 'this is an RPG where your choices matter yo' similar to Morrigan's 'will you lead them to the bitter end' at the end of the Fires Above. And yet...it wasn't. Varric talked.
So this line though still...I can't really do nothing but assign a value neutral statement to it. This is an RPG. So Solas could simply be posing the question on what people will call you. It is in your hands. Mass murderer or savior.

The bond that grew between these two was one of my favorite things to write! @ndefilippis @atiyehcolors @furukawaheinz @darkhorsecomics Song: "Home" - Phil Phillips Nunzio DeFilippis @ndefilippisThis bond actually grew as we wrote it. It is, as I've said elsewhere, as if these two women basically told us that they were growing to become sisters.

Matthew Goldman has been the art director on the Dragon Age franchise since Origins. Mike Laidlaw left in 2017, and Goldman was promoted to creative director in his stead. He was using the title when this blog was published in 2018. blog.bioware.com/2018/12/06/thedreadwolfThe fact he's opened a Twitter account might have some significance. Perhaps they're looking to promote some stuff.

Matthew Goldman has been the art director on the Dragon Age franchise since Origins. Mike Laidlaw left in 2017, and Goldman was promoted to creative director in his stead. This. I suspect he has been getting pressure to get tweeting for awhile and only now succumbed as Mark is leaving. Just a guess though, could have been his New Years resolution for all I know.

Had to be Mark. BTW, and I know you only represent a small subset of the overall studio, but is there an air that things are improving (even marginally) as time has gone on with the virus? I think back in April or so, Mark said things had slowed because of the pandemic.

Nice detail on the bolt gun. I never noticed just how much of a gun it looked like. Interesting that despite being cut off and completely unknown for millennia, the dark dwarves are actually more technologically advanced than their brethren nearer the surface. Even Bianca isn't as complex as that. I must admit that I always assumed their bolters were using some sort of compound crossbow like Bianca, not an actual gun.

Unless it is just wrapped up in some sort of sleeve. I wonder if Lyrium Bofors is rather using mechanics as opposed to gunpowder.
