The game has an ending, but not a good ending. Why? There is no option to kill chuckles. But how would that happen? Simple. Before the ending fight, rook, the player, is told Elgar'nan is what is keeping the veil up. Killing him would remove it. Why not keep him bound to it, and kill Solas when he's weak after his fight with the archdemon? If his knife can kill Ghilan'nain it should kill chuckles. It's unfortunate there's no option to kill the elf.

No shade to Solavellans who got what they got, but yes, this this is very simpy and pathetic of Lavellan. I could see getting over what he has done in Inquisition/Trespasser, but now?
10 years later for a man who dumped her twice and won't meet her halfway for anything (not even certain death from her mark), releasing two extremely powerful mages (possibly intentionally because he knows they have to die for his plans to succeed), murdering one of her closest friends, the revelation that he was heavily complicit in what happened to the dwarves and Titans, etc.
And after all that she's not even the one to convince him to not kill everyone, it's the wisp of Mythal he wouldn't even visit after waking up. Then she gives up her life for a man who absolutely wouldn't do the same for her. Now she's abandoned the south to its fate.
As far as I'm aware, there isn't even an option for the Inquisitor to just drop him. It's locked in from the beginning. Like damn, get some self-respect.
So that answered one question I've been asking concerning the ending: Rook has no agency other than finding Mythal so she can persuade Solas to go willingly and then Lavellan offering to go with him.
So, if Rook thinks he deserves to spend eternity alone (like he did to the other gods because of their crimes), they don't get the option to condemn him?
Or do they just not produce the Mythal essence and then only the condemn option is available to them?
Only at the moment it seems to me that everything in the game is not down to choice apart from whether you choose to do all the missions or not. If you do, then the outcome for Solas is determined by the choice by the Inquisitor carried over from the end of Trespasser, not by Rook at all.
Am I understanding that right? Plus, what happens if Solas gets tired of the Black City? What happens if Lavellan and Solas are corrupted and want out? It's been done before.

They're going to the Black city. Solas, if redeemed , vow to soothe the angered Titan main cause of the Blight. So Solas and Inky have a giant angry baby to soothe and coddle for eternity. Inky is used to it, and for Solas it's karma. So Inqy is getting killed slowly by the Blight while Solas watch. That might actually be the good ending finally. Solas would keep a blighted Inky somewhere, remember best boyfriend real fear is dying alone. Blighted, one armed, Mythal cheap version will still be there for him. So yep Solas got one good ending.

See my above post. What if he changes his mind about accepting his fate? If they are in the Black City, can't he escape? Others have done so. Also, was there just one Titan responsible for the Blight? (I thought they implied there were many). Isn't it somewhere down below not up above? I find the whole thing very confusing.

Rook fight Solas and you then have 3 options. Fight him. Trick him. (no Inky or Morri or Mythal appears)
Redeem if quests done beforehand.
In theory Solas is trapped in the prison he created for the Evanuris (who were able to walk around even bound to the veil) He might need a special dagger again to go out but what stop him to go whisper into someone's dream and go jail break? Nothing.

The choice is ultimately up to Rook even if they have Mythal's essence, which is the only way to persuade him otherwise. You have three options then.
Trick/Fight/Use Mythal
The Inquisitor is so unimportant to the final confrontation that Lavellan only appears if you use Mythal. Lavellan and Mythal are completely absent during trick and fight.

All Inqy shows up if you use the Mythal option, not juste Lavellan, but even an Inqy who vowed to stop Solas and didn't romance him is trying to redeem them there. It's all very very weak.
I used it once, and won't again unless you have to use it to unlock the Storm Quelled achievement (I missed one of the black discs the first time dammit).

Does anyone know what choices lead to who becomes Archon? I got Dorian but I just went to watch a non-solas romanced ending playthrough and they got Mae. I saved Treviso and it looks like they didn't so is that what changes that?
I am surprised that the ending slides didn't feel as final as I was lead to believe they would be. I was expecting more of a DAO level of ending slides where that game believed it would be it. It drew a line under things. Job done. This was very 'but theres more to saaaaay' - there is no DLC and if another game comes out it won't be bloody Rook so cut that out yeah. Just throw me a bone and show Rook and Emmrich back in Nevarra together. Job done. I had heard of anger over that after credit slide. I was a bit lost when I kept finding the codex entries and having the old ??? mad at me. I thought I'd missed an optional boss fight. Now I know it was for that. Um. Ok. I'm not touching that. I didn't see nothing.

I probably missed something, but the way they keep talking about it it's as if it was a thing before the elven gods started using it Mythal/Solas made a (or more) Titan tranquil, this caused their "dreams" to be locked and those "dreams" turned into nightmares/went crazy.
At some point, Andruil found those dreams/red lyrium, went crazy herself and was stopped by Mythal and the stuff was locked away (underground going by Trespasser).
Some time after that, Ghilna'nain found the stuff and experimented on it to create the Blight as we know it. Kinda, it was further modified by her in Veilguard.
Note that it's vague enough for there to be missing important information...that Solas might not have even known about.

Elves were spirits using lyrium (titan blood) to get actual bodies. At some point Solas turn one or several Titan tranquil like. It created the Blight. Him and Mythal sealed it somewhere, feeling it was bad news.
Solas started to question the Evanuris reign, so the Evanuris decided to use the Blight. Solas warned Mythal. Mythal said she would stop them, got murdered. Evanuris went Blight all the Things. Solas trapped them with the origin of the Blight (a angry titan heart of mind or something) in some city in the fade.

If you save Minrathous, you get a quest where you can support either Maevaris or Dorian for the throne.

Saying that, I do not think that ending is the "good choice". It's littereally letting Solas get a free pass for all his actions and your Inquisitor pined for 10 years for a guy who lied to them and them dumped I wanted the Inquisitor to make the death blow. But Inky doesn't even show up unless you're attempting "the good ending". I have reloaded and watched three endings and then went online and watched the other two. - The best ending is where you trick him. His dialogue where he was truly bested after living off the fumes of his superiority for millenia. It was very human, and reminded me of the best of Solas from Inquisition.
- Fight, he just goes insane, talks like a dumb evanuris, and his eyes glow like he's becoming a pride demon.
- Sacrifices himself, he has to be talked down by 3 people and bawls like a baby about it. This one I hate the most.
Both of the last two imply he's just this poor wisdom sprit that has been turned from his purpose. Fight, and the turning finishes. Handhold him to the right decision, and he just looks like a poor disturbed spirit like all of the compassion spirits we've run into. Solas is nothing like a spirit that just got released from the fade 5 minutes ago, he's not even Cole the confused compassion spirit turned flesh in the last 2 years. he's had flesh for millenia, grown and matured for millenia. He is not a poor creature to be pitied and guided. It's like they tried to take him from the Loghain level of being fully aware of his atrocities and choosing to perform them anyway and modify him into Cole, confused. It's a weakening of the antagonist, and poor writing to give the happy ending, however unearned it is for him.
In this way, when you trick him, is the only time you have a Solas that is fully Solas.

Post by Davrin's boobs on Nov 20, 2024 3:40:40 GMT
I finished the game The final mission of act 2 and the entire act 3 felt like a movie, it was really great. And I'm happy everything was wrapped up, cause this means next game is going to start fresh. The fact they pulled a virmire and suicide mission got me really anxious, not so much the suicide mission haha I only killed Neve once to test that hero of the veilguard title but it didnt work so I reload haha IM SO FKNG HEARTBROKEN though, like Harding is dead and its so fucking sad, my romance is Davrin so my canon is going to be that, but its so sad, I helped Taash and her to be together only for this to happen I didnt even cry cause I truly thought the titan magic was going to save her, the satisfaction I felt when that ghilanain bitch I dont even how to write her name was dead was so cathartic. Like... Ashley was sad but I didnt even like her character as much as Harding, so her dead was tons of more sad for me. HEY no body? no confirmation, who knows???? This is Hawke/Alistair/Stroud 2.0 all over again for me haha Also, Varric, I kinda expected but I didnt want to believe, I mean no a single companion talked to him, it was weird, its so sad to see him go, I cried but he had an excelent character arc for three games, so rest in peace Varric, you wont be forgotten. The final battle was fine but I got my ass kicked a lot more when a lot of enemies were throwing stuff at me at once that with him. Same with some dragon fights. Anyway, fuck elven gods, glad they are dead. It was so cool seeing Bellara so empowered in the end, "you are not my god" was some powerful shit. The Inquisitor did something but I would have loved seeing him fighting at least?? ... Well at least he is not dead, I was soooo scared. I chose redemption, even if Solas makes me so mad, even more in this game, I dont want more drama shit in the playthrough, specially after being heartbroken cause Harding's death. The only thing I got spoiled was this pic, and I didnt even find the board haha but its interesting that the next protagonist is outside of the board, which it could be hinting that we are going out of Thedas. I remember the Executors from DAI, maybe the ones in the post credits are them? Too soon I know haha. Davrin romance was PERFECTION. It's easy one of my favorites right now. But fuck did I miss so much being able to kiss him when I wanted??? That was something great in DAO and DAI. Hopefully quality of life updates and content updates fix it... talking about that, if I load the game after saving in a certain place in the map I want to be in the exact same place where I was Bioware... I feel kinda empty but that happens everytime I finish a game I like, so many years waiting, only for the joy to last three weeks :_) edit. Final thoughts before I forget haha, the game is still a solid 8.5 for me, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut sometimes it felt like a big dlc expansion of Trespasser, dont get me wrong, it was great, I love is not an open world again, with terrible maps and all but thats why you need things wrapped up in every single game, the Warden story was finished, Hawke was finished but it felt weird he didnt do much against Coryshit, and this one gives me the same feeling but in a larger scale. Hopefully they manage to do it better in the next one.

I wanted the Inquisitor to make the death blow. But Inky doesn't even show up unless you're attempting "the good ending". How they handled Lavellan is especially frustrating for me too because I played her as having fallen out of love once she realized what a monster he really is and how love didn't change shit. She vowed to stop him. She still showed up to the second talk with Rook all still in love. Great. But worse, even after making Rook tell her to walk away from Solas and live her own life instead of trying to still fix the broken puppy and be dragged down with him, she still showed up all emotional and understanding and basically still in love. UGH. Couldn't BioWare at least have accounted for an inky who wanted to kill him? Even if that's not possible because of the convenient plot armor he got at the end there should have been a scene where inky maybe attempted it and Rook goes "uh, actually we need him alive, sorry!" They really tried to railroad inky into this toxic abusive romance that so many fans went crazy over, other choices be damned. This was probably supposed to be a dramatic masterpiece there at the end. I will have to watch a clip of them both buggering off into the fade. Maybe I'll feel something then.

It got swept under the carpet like the plot of dragons being important for Thedas, and Flemythal saving those and messing with dragon blood. Oh and her revenge shaking the very heavens. Ugh, don't remind me how pumped I was for vengeance Mythal. I expected HER to be the one who played Solas all along, always 3 steps ahead of everyone, her design to get back at Elgar'nan. She's the only puppet master I would have accepted and one whose story would have ended with DAV probably. They did NOTHING with that. I was sort of hopeful when Morrigan warned Rook about that twisted part of her essence tucked away hell bent on revenge. To be very careful when talking to her. I thought, here we go, yes! Then she even gifts you that special sword I don't know what it was actually for. Did I miss where it's supposed to be used? She showed up as brief support during an optional dragon fight. OK?? That's all, really??? Her showing up for the "good" ending was really the absolute bare minimum storytelling here. Mythal like most other storylines just fizzled out. She was my favorite character. So disappointing...

hen she even gifts you that special sword I don't know what it was actually for. Did I miss where it's supposed to be used? I don't remember there being a sword. It was a mythal totem of crystal that had her essence in it so she could hold Solas' sobbing hand.

She's the only puppet master I would have accepted and one whose story would have ended with DAV probably. They did NOTHING with that. No no no, they did something with it. The shadow people made her do it. *insert throw table meme*

So, I have now experienced all endings and there is something bothering me. In both the non-redemption endings... Rook leaves the Lyrium dagger WITH Solas as he is forced into the Fade Prison. The game has already established that he can exit the prison with the dagger. Is this just another gap in the story telling or more? Only in the redemption ending does Solas... Give the Lyrium dagger back to Rook. This seems problematic, yes?

Give the Lyrium dagger back to Rook. This seems problematic, yes? Yeah, I thought the same thing. It seems weird. He seems concerned, though. Like it's not going to get him out.
Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain said they were asleep in their prison. Maybe he wouldn't be awake to use it? But why risk that at all by just giving it to him?
It looks deliberate that only this one ending leaves Rook with the dagger. And it's the only ending that says Solas will do something about the Blight. If this is one of those "objectively best" choices that Origins was plagued with, that would be pretty annoying.

This seems problematic, yes? Not if they ever intend to use him for something in the future. In every ending, he has a path to escape. Either with the dagger, or through redemption, the same way Rook got out. Personally, I love it. No one puts the Dread Wolf in a corner.

I will have to watch a clip of them both buggering off into the fade. I didn't exactly gag at it, but it is kinda disgusting. The kneeling is particularly vom inducing. PLEASE Solas. LOVE ME PLEASE.
So much for ever imagining they could be equals Honestly, Solavellan might be even more toxic than Tav with ascended Astarion and that says something. I'm glad, my Lavellans are big on self care and don't date the racist elf mage.
