The same Sera who keeps calling you Inky?! Not thanks. Her and my Lavellan wouldn't make it past day 1, but they're excellent friends. I love her character a lot, even though she often disagrees with me in literally the most annoying ways lol.

You know sometimes its strange as much as a Dragon Age fan I am I still only play the same characters basically...so with that in mind I have only done Cassandra and Cullen. . As much as I like Cass as a person I honestly thing Cullen has the better romance story though.

As much as I like Cass as a person I honestly thing Cullen has the better romance story though. I've also done Dorian, Josephine and Solas. My chief gripe is that the male PC never gets the opportunity to marry on screen. You can imply that Josephine ends in marriage but you don't actually get a ceremony; Cas won't marry because of other commitments and Dorian becomes a long distance romance. I've never romanced Bull but I think his is pretty much the same. Now I appreciate that Blackwall may not have a great ending, depending on your choices, and the less said about Solas, the better, but for a female PC that still leaves two romances, Sera and Cullen that have an official ceremony to acknowledge their commitment. As I have not romanced either of them and apparently Hawke was deprived of one through the cancellation of Exalted March, I am still waiting for my PC to have the option of marriage. Still, I would agree with you, that if I had wanted to romance Cullen, it does have the sort of outcome I would have liked. Honestly, you even get a dog at the end of it to start your new life together.

Okay am I the only one that suspects that Solas had more to do with Mythal's death than he's willing to admit? We don't really know what happened, but I find Solas killing Mythal unlikely, because the implication so far is that the death of Mythal has either empowered Evanuris or emboldened them, which made Solas lift the Veil as the last resort before Evanuris did something awful. I've wondered previously about this myself but for Solas to have been directly responsible for her death means that he fooled Abelas too. That revelation in the ToM was such a surprise after everything we had been told about Fen'Harel, it hardly seems likely the writers would have done this if Solas had been involved in her murder. At the most, he was responsible by omission in not trying to stop it. However, he seemed so genuinely angry with Morrigan for suggesting that it was sacrilege placing his statue in Mythal's temple complex that I think his guilt stems from not having prevented it through lack of foresight rather than letting it happen. Also, wasn't there a dev note or dev comment saying that Flemythal has given her power to Solas willingly (under the condition he'd transfer the power to Morrigan, eventually)? Perhaps someone can find the exact quote but I think it was more along the lines that whatever was given to Solas was only part of her power and the rest was given to Morrigan, which people have assumed is what she placed in/sent through the eluvian. Otherwise, I think we would have to imply that Mythal does now control Solas so he would have to come through on the bargain when Mythal saw fit because, if she wasn't in control, what guarantee would she have that Solas would honour it? Personally, I don't think Mythal would put all her eggs in one basket but would have more than one way to achieve her end goal, so if Solas messed up or got killed, she would still have another path to success. Alternatively, she expects that the success of their join plan will result in his death, which would automatically release her spirit to transfer elsewhere. You know, Solas did seem surprised in The Trespasser DLC at their audacity to murder her. The ambiguity of their relationship is what intrigues me, and I know there's something sinister about Solas waiting to be revealed Something I would also like cleared up is where the Forgotten Ones fit into all this? The Dalish insist he betrayed both sides in the war but seemed to think that the Evanuris trusted him, which the message in the Vir Dirthara appeared to contradict. However, if Mythal trusted him that would account for the Dalish version because they were unaware of her murder so thought that his betrayal of the Creators included Mythal. Meanwhile, he was also said to have tricked the Forgotten Ones because they seemed to see him as an ally too. So possibly they were part of his rebellion. Felassan's story seemed to suggest that the Anaris had some sort of grudge against Fen'Harel for "crimes against the Forgotten Ones" and of course it was whilst Andruil, on behalf of the Creators, was fighting Anaris for possession of Fen'Harel that he succeeded in freeing himself. This story does mirror the Dalish tale to some extent, so I think it was likely a case of him playing one side off against the other, keeping them focused on each other whilst he made other plans for the Veil that imprisoned them all. It would be good to have clarification of this though. (side note: apologies if this discussion is derailing the thread, I can honestly talk about Dragon Age forever there's just not a lot of tweets happening rn.) Better than being side-tracked by issues that have very little to do with Dragon Age. With such a dirth of information from the Studio at present, what more can we do than continue with the speculation?

Even The Iron Bull has an option to talk about it. I get not being able to actually marry her in the DLC since she’d never elope like that but instead want her family there, but being able to propose at least would’ve been nice.

Still disappointed we don’t even get to discuss marriage with Josephine. As you say, that would have been something. Of course, she would want her family there but being able to make a proposal or possibly ask how things are done in Antiva would allow you to feel you had done something to make it official. Mind you, considering she was meant to have participated in an arranged marriage before you intervened, it is possible that her parents wouldn't give it their blessing. You know, it is so long since I played the Josephine romance, I don't recall exactly how that was left, just that in the epilogue it would appear you had gone to Antiva to meet her family.

Still, I would agree with you, that if I had wanted to romance Cullen, it does have the sort of outcome I would have liked. Honestly, you even get a dog at the end of it to start your new life together. That is a part of it. But I don't know if it is just my personal preference for these things or if BioWare just is good at writing them from my perspective...but I don't to enjoy most the 'reclamation project' type romances. Stuff that is not about sex appeal or hot but just two people needing to find one another to complete one another and the main character especially for their romantic partner. My favorite BioWare romance ever is Anders in 2 and then you can add Cullen to that list as well, Miranda from Mass Effect...well no I guess that is a little unfair...but there was a current. Jack from ME from what I have seen even if I can't stand her in 2 so I never actually played it, also from what I have seen Garrus has shades of this as well. And yes 'not an official romance' but the Shepard/Vega relationship can realllllly come off of this as well. Give your Shepard the right background and then with his tragic backstory they can really be two broken people just bouncing off one another.

Well, in the base game as you said it ends with the duel to end her engagement and you both saying you love each other and cuddling in the sofa (and if course endgame balcony sunrise). In Trespasser you honestly get pretty much nothing. The scene with her is still the opera, and you get her being worried when your hand acts up. One of many reasons I hate that DLC, with her being among the LIs who drew the short straw while others got so much. Then in the epilogue yes you go to Antiva to meet her family and they welcome you like a second home. Never a single mention of marriage, other than the Cassandra scene that always happens.

*snip* Perhaps someone can find the exact quote but I think it was more along the lines that whatever was given to Solas was only part of her power and the rest was given to Morrigan, which people have assumed is what she placed in/sent through the eluvian. Here it is (sourced from www.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/2qa4cc/major_spoilers_post_credit_scene_explained/): Designer's Notes: This is Flemeth from the previous two games. In this game, Flemeth's story comes to a head -- she knew that Solas would summon her, and that he would need to steal her power to further his plans. She knew that because they are both elven gods...yet Solas has slept for a thousand years and his power dwindled, while she was killed long ago and a spark escaped from her into the body she now holds. She has nurtured that spark, and knew that Solas would need it. He was once her oldest friend, but she knows in his drive to save the elven people he will kill anyone -- even her. She intends to let him have the power, so long as she can pass the essence of her god-hood onto Morrigan, a gift Flemeth had always planned for her daughter yet one Morrigan misunderstood as hostile possession. Otherwise, I think we would have to imply that Mythal does now control Solas so he would have to come through on the bargain when Mythal saw fit because, if she wasn't in control, what guarantee would she have that Solas would honour it? Personally, I don't think Mythal would put all her eggs in one basket but would have more than one way to achieve her end goal, so if Solas messed up or got killed, she would still have another path to success. Alternatively, she expects that the success of their join plan will result in his death, which would automatically release her spirit to transfer elsewhere. Well, she has whoever drank the Well of Sorrows and is thus bound to her for the rest of their lives. So Morrigan or your Inquisitor might be her wild card.

Never a single mention of marriage, other than the Cassandra scene that always happens. Ugh, don't get me started on that one. A stupid joke on Varric's part where the writer of it seemed completely unaware of how badly it comes off for the person on the receiving end of the misunderstanding. The worst one for me was Dorian because I spoke to Cassandra before I spoke with Dorian, so I honestly thought that maybe Cassandra might have stumbled onto something, rushed over to speak with him, only to be told that he was going back to Tevinter permanently. However, when I was in a romance with Cassandra it made the whole thing excruciatingly embarrassing, so that wasn't much better. As for when I was in a romance with Solas, it just made Cassandra seem a completely insensitive moron. Not one of Bioware's finest moments in the writing department.

I mean, unless the suggestion is that Solas wanted to create the inciting incident in order to justify lifting the Veil (in this case why wouldn't he just... do this?) , I don't see why he'd kill her back then. You know, Solas did seem surprised in The Trespasser DLC at their audacity to murder her. The ambiguity of their relationship is what intrigues me, and I know there's something sinister about Solas waiting to be revealed (if his plan wasn't sinister enough.) And I also think that though they were allies (during two separate points - in the early days before the Evanuris and after he broke away from her servitude), there is definitely a difference in ideas; and both their convictions are powerful at that. I kind of wonder if that separation of ideas took reality when Solas raised the veil? I remember quite well that I've made a comment about this very topic on Solas since their relationship intrigues me - and since there's no point repeating the same thing, I hope you don't mind if I paste it here: I think Mythal was someone who tried to fix or rein in the system from within, while Solas was someone who - at one point - has decided that it's either not working or it's not enough. From my perspective there are parallels with Celene and Briala there. Not necessarily in a sense that their relationship was identical to a T, but still - Celene was also on top of the food chain and Briala believed that the Empress was the way to make things better. The issue with Celene was that her approach was incremental or not bold enough when boldness was necessary. So it's a good old 'incrementalism vs. revolution' conflict IMO. Solas was probably in a position in which he's put a lot of faith in Mythal pulling strings in a good direction, only to realize that it's either not enough or he has to push things himself to avoid disaster looming on the horizon (by pushing things I mean instigating a rebellion). If this indeed happened I can see a scenario where there was a lot of tension between them for that. Mythal may have thought that she has her hand on pulse, contingencies in place and PLANS (or still believed Evanuris project was salvageable), but Fen'Harel's rebellion threatened or undermined a lot of that. From hints an suggestions it does seem like she's still secretly supported him... unless the secret greeting was something from way earlier? In any case, Mythal secretly supporting Fen'Harel and doing her part from within to help it succeed while pacifying Evanuris is not implausible at all. It may have also been a thing that has eventually cost her life, which has ultimately forced Solas to create the Veil. Mythal didn't hunt Andruil, but turned herself into a beast Andruil wanted to hunt and lured her to herself - but supposedly she's managed to return Andruil to normal after trips to the Void made her mad. Anyway, I think the most we can get from this riddle is that Falon/Din and Andruil (+ Ghila'nain) may be the Evanuris to keep an eye on. I say so because there are, ostentatiously, shrines dedicated specifically to Falon'Din and Andruil in Temple of Mythal that we can visit and Solas' comments about them (esp. Falon'Din) aren't kind. Plus some other things strewn here and there.

The issue with Celene was that her approach was incremental or not bold enough when boldness was necessary. So it's a good old 'incrementalism vs. revolution' conflict IMO. I think you are probably right in this analysis of their relationship. After all, Felassan seems to be about to say that Briala reminds him of Fen'Harel when the latter kills him. After the Winter Palace, Solas admits enjoying the power play and intrigue on display there and, at least in the early days, he probably did enjoy the power play in the Evanuris, until he realised how much it was hurting the ordinary folk. If Fen'Harel began his rebellion whilst Mythal was still alive, even if she was still secretly supporting him, she would have been showing unity with the others against him to allay their suspicions. Mythal had always probably insisted to Solas that she could keep the others under control and for a long while perhaps it seemed that she could but if the rebellion started before her death, something must have prompted him to lose faith in her approach. “One sees the hunter, one flees from it, one hunts it in turn, one outwits them all.” From the statues these are read from (Owl, Halla, Dragon, Wolf) and with their coinciding Elven gods Could the answer lie in this riddle from Trespasser, along with this: A new vision appears: elves collapsing caverns, sealing the Deep Roads with stone and magic. Terror, heart-pounding, ice-cold, as the last of the spells is cast. A voice whispers: "What the Evanuris in their greed could unleash would end us all. Let this place be forgotten. Let no one wake its anger. The People must rise before their false gods destroy them all." In the past I've tended to think of the horror that Solas discovered being either something to do with red lyrium or Mythal's corpse. However, it has just occurred to me (maybe you had already thought of this) that what he discovered was one of the chambers as found in the Horror of Hormack. It may well be that Ghilan'nain originally devised these pools, possibly in cahoots with Falon'Din, as a way of creating horrors for Andruil to hunt. When the legend in the Temple of Mythal speaks of Andruil hunting in the Void, it was actually the lower Deep Roads and prolonged exposure to whatever magic Ghilan'nain was using, did send her mad and she started to hunt Ghilan'nain herself. So it was Ghil who encouraged the other gods to appeal to Mythal to deal with her. Meanwhile, Fen'Harel decided to investigate what might have sent Andruil mad in the first place and discovered what Ghilan'nain had been doing. He told Mythal and she confronted Ghilan'nain in a council of the Evanuris but instead of condemning her, it turned out several of the other gods were implicated in the experiment and so they turned on Mythal. There were hints in Trespasser about Ghilan'nain being involved in experiments on elves and in Tevinter Nights (Later Short Story) it is a statue of a halla, the symbol of Ghilan'nain that Strife and Irelin were seeking in the Arlathan Forest, seemingly after being prompted by strange writing appearing in an old book. The pools and the creatures seem to smell of the sea, as do the Executors, who are currently working with the Inquisition against the Wolf. Solas warned Charter against doing this, with good reason if my theory is correct. After lying dormant for thousands of years, the pools seem to have mysteriously been reactivated and I'm convinced the Executors are behind it. I've also noted that the Executor wants "To eliminate the Wolf" as their main goal, not simply stop him, although they are interested in "his goals and means of accomplishing them". So, if we end up with one of them on our side next game, I'd seriously question their motives. Also note, they referred to him as "the Wolf". Not Fen'Harel or the Dread Wolf but simply "the Wolf". No one else has referred to him in that way. I think that could be significant.

Or Solas could just be full of it, with all the surviving sources that support his side coincidentally being from him or his various cults instead of sources that would be considered credible.
Personally I would love that twist. They make it seem like all this intrigue, but really it was not. I know they won’t, but it would be fun. Far better than “everyone against the genocidal elf is actually part of an even worse group.”

Personally I would love that twist. They make it seem like all this intrigue, but really it was not. I know they won’t, but it would be fun. Far better than “everyone against the genocidal elf is actually part of an even worse group.” I've always been somewhat skeptical of the way information has been presented both in DAI and Trespasser, including putting the words "Just another thing we got wrong", into the mouth of female Lavellan when in fact the Dalish lore has been surprisingly accurate except with regard to Fen'Harel. As you say, most of the evidence against the Evanuris would appear to have come from Fen'Harel or those supporting him. However, I'm looking at the way the writers have been framing the narrative and this leads me to conclude that I doubt we are going to find that the Evanruis are ultimately going to be exonerated in the final analysis. At least, not all of them, although it is at least possible that one or two might only be implicated by association and in fact may not have given their approval to everything that went on. It seems to me that Falon'Din, Dirthamen, Andruil and Ghilan'nain are ultimately going to be the evil group whichever perspective you are coming from but may not necessarily have been working together. I'm not sure about Elgar'nan. He seemed to be in opposition to Falon'Din and it would seem that Mythal did regard him as final arbiter in any dispute, apart from that with Falon'Din when it would seem her solution prevented all out war between their two factions. Still, when Flemeth refers to Mythal having been betrayed as she was, it may be she was referring to Elgar'nan because both were betrayed by their respective husbands. The only two gods who might have a redeeming history are June and Sylaise and they do appear to assist one another. When we interact with the mosaic to June in ToM, there is no comment from Solas, even though June, like Falon'Din and Andruil, was confined to an outer chamber, suggesting that perhaps he had fallen out of favour somewhat with Mythal as well. Meanwhile, the only extra information about Sylaise beyond the Dalish lore is the inscription in ToM that basically says: "Anything you can do Sylaise can do better," and "We give ourselves gladly to your service." That is in contrast to inscriptions to the other gods, which emphasise either their destructive ability and calling on them to use it against their enemies (Elgar'nan) or praising them after doing so (Mythal) or seeming in terror of their wrath (Andruil). So could Sylaise have been the peacemaker that the Dalish claim? Given how she is careful to thank June properly for the favour he did for her, was she something of a diplomat? The problem is in trying to find anyone from ancient times willing to work against Solas is that they may well want the Veil removed but want him out of the way as well, so happy to make it appear that they are working to the same goal. That is the point I was making about the Executors. They clearly want Solas out of the picture but I am not convinced this is because they have the interests of the rest of the world as their priority. Maybe they just want to control the outcome and want him eliminated so any "plans" he has to deal with the Evanuris do not come to fruition.

They already did that character though. Ironically it was Solas. Helped removed the antagonist pretending it was to help the world but really was just to help oneself by getting rid of an obstacle who was trying to achieve the same thing.

They already did that character though. Ironically it was Solas. Helped removed the antagonist pretending it was to help the world but really was just to help oneself by getting rid of an obstacle who was trying to achieve the same thing. DA4:Groundhog Day or What Goes Around Comes Around.

Personally I would love that twist. What would be a good twist would be one of Solas' former allies turning against him because not only do they feel it is immoral but also they realise that the last thing they need is a return of the gods and given his track record, any plan to neutralise them is bound to backfire in some way. Alternatively, one of those people who got shafted when the Vir Dirthara collapsed but whose spirit has been floating around in the Fade awaiting the opportunity to return and deal with him as they promised to do.

So Jeff Grubb's paywalled Giant Bomb segment dropped a new episode quite a few hours ago, with a couple of minutes dedicated to giving an update on DA4's development. Only two minutes were spent on that, so there wasn't any major new information. That said, Jeff had the following to say: - The game's currently in "very good shape". There are hiccups and issues, of course, but Jeff notes that it's the usual kind of hiccup that happens in game dev in general; they're hitting all the milestones, and the game is on schedule.
- Speaking of schedule, they're targeting a release date around the second half of 2023 ("18 months from today").
So, it was really a general overview of how the development's currently going... and it seems to be going better than what would be expected.

Good to hear and thanks for letting us know! I would have listened to it myself yesterday had it not been paywalled.

Good to hear. So if the game theoretically comes out in 18 months, the marketing machine should begin in about a year or so.
