The Game Informer Article *Contains Spoilers!!*

I know you're adamant to not listen to what Solas says, but there are at least two or three times across Inquisition/Trespasser where he does suggest that the Blight is something ancient that the Evanuris thought is some sort of ultimate power (beyond their comprehension) that they wanted to unlock for own benefit.

I mean, it also explains why Solas was so against Grey Wardens and killing the last Archdemons - Blight and elves are somehow inherently linked. I suppose we'll find out more in the game. Unless someone writes an article 

Because maybe we don't want the veil torn down and maybe it's better if the two old gods are destroyed and not imprisoned?

I have argued against it for years, but I think at this point I'd rather just play as the Inquisitor. The description given to Rook is just not winning me over, unless there's a very good backstory to their recruitment. It's basically just '' they are competent, and potentially the best fit to lead this group of people, no McGuffins anywhere here '' like yeah okay, that's not very interesting or exciting. Granted, neither was Inquisitor, but at least they have rich background now with connections to many of the characters that play an integral role in the plot.

Or he didn't, and that's only how some people interpret it.

As Solas himself points out in Inquisition and Trespasser - one does not easily kill a god.

He points out that despite Mythal being offed thousands of years ago by the rest of Evanuris ganging up on her, she's still alive, and was in fact responsible for significantly buffing up Solas' powers at the end of Inquisition.

Add to that the fact that the Blight makes them probably even more resilient than they were.

The Inquisitor being the protagonist would instantly kill my interest. Rook being new already makes them vastly preferable, even if they have nothing else going for them. Fresh starts and all that.

My favorite theory on the Black City, Archdemons and the Blight seems to be well on the way to be fully confirmed.

And it seems we got an explanation why we wouldn't be Blood mages.

Since you quoted it before I deleted, just reposting it.

Ethically, I feel compelled to try to talk him down from his intention of destroying the veil. But if I have to murder-knife him to keep it from happening, I will not feel bad at all. He's not a good person.

Make a rune? Is she part Sandal?
