Yeah, I've compiled some of the writers. It looks something like this.
Sheryl Chee:
Blackwall, Leliana (since she wrote her in Origins?), Cullen (since she also wrote him in Origins?)

Mary Kirby:
Vivienne, Varric

David Gaider:
Cassandra, Morrigan, Cole (maybe???)

Patrick Weekes:
Iron Bull

Luke Kristjanson:
Sera

Sooooo... that leaves Scribbles, Dorian, and Solas up for 'who is writing them?' I thought I read something about Patrick Weekes trying not stumble into the common pitfalls that straight writers fall into when writing homosexual characters, but I'm not sure... If that's the case I almost think he'd be the one writing Dorian, but it could Solas. (At first I thought it was Scribbles, but Sera has since then been confirmed as the female S/S character)

 

Isn't Gaider the one who's writing Solas? I have no idea where this came from but I was certain of it until now.

((Also on the romance subject I'm thinking a 2:3or4:2 split. Particularly given that a dev has said that race will play a factor in LI's willingness combined with the everyone will have at least two options. ))

Wait wait wait, race IS playing into the romance decision? I thought that wasn't the case and it was only sexuality. Where did you get this? How long ago did you get this?

And yeah, it could be a puff paint or iron on project. When I couldn't find a Grumpy Cat shirt I liked I made one myself. It's a really fun shirt.

 

Edit: For some reason Grumpy Cat's actual name was censored so... yeah...

Oh...holy hell. It's a fair bet to say it was a Gaider twitter quote from over in the Twitter thread...but where in that mess it's buried...O.o

Hi! I will.. definitely make sure I get photos!

 

 

I have a Cassandra and a Varric (we're aiming for San Diego Comic Con). I'm of the opinion that you cosplay who you want to. Looks are less important than having fun. 

 

Ah, yes. The black vest. I was really hoping to avoid that outfit, so hearing the pre-alpha ones seem to be the defaults makes me very happy! 

 

 

Oh, goodness, Roxy, you are amazing, thank you so much! Perfect! 

 

And thanks everyone for the warm welcome! 

 

You're welcome glad I could help just a bit. Good luck with your costume!

 

 

@Blankeflos  Months ago when it came out about Solas was shown in a vid and people were saying negative things about Solas and Gaider came in and defended Solas...so some people thought that David wrote him but we don't know for sure.....  :/

It's on that thread....that's where it was about him saying if you don't find someone you find attractive then romance someone else or do without...I was gonna look for that the other day but so lazy and couldn't remember where I found it...derp!

I really like Cassandra, but I'm also the sort of person who likes quality cosplays, so I don't think I could make hers with the lacking budget I have. But I also REALLY like what Sera is about.

And woooaaahhh! A Cassandra and Varric! That's awesome. And Comic con!? Woooaaahhhh!

I agree, having fun is the most important. I just personally try to cosplay character I think I can pull off/ make quality cosplays for.

I'm not sure, it's not on the wiki. But maaayyybbeeeeeeeeee

There's also Sylvia Feketekuty who work as a writer for Inquisition.

I have no idea what she's writing but she worked on ME3.

Ah, I suppose it is possible some of the remaining characters, or one of them, could belong to her. Hmmmmmmmmm... ... ...

Hah, I remember this! Back then Solas had already caught my attention and I was mad at people saying he was boring!

 

Unfortunately I have the feeling we won't get any info on him or the other unnanounced companions so soon... we can only guess!

Ahaha, If I were a big buff dude, I would be making The Iron Bull, or if I had the time/money to make the armor, I'd do Blackwall, so I totally get it. I'm a little worried about the bald cap, but I'm going to be doing several makeup tests, so we'll see how this goes.

I think anyone wanting to be Iron Bull would have to have some sort of muscle suit. (Unless they were born and built like the Mountain.) But if anyone could pull that off... Got no idea about the bald cap. But people make them work somehow. You can do it mang!

Not a fan of the vest wearing Solas then?

Yeah I wasn't around when that happened but sure is rude and upseting when someone calls Solas boring when you don't even know much about him,we still don't have much on him and he is far from boring in my book   ....yeah I'm afraid it might be awhile before we get anymore info on Solas but who knows maybe Bioware will surprise us!

This image now just makes me picture the consequences of the Inquisition playing Cards Against Humanity

 

 

Nah... It's D&D.

 

Cassandra:  INQUISITOR!  How could you forget to check for traps?  Don't you realize it wasn't just YOUR character in that hallway?

Inquisitor:  Look, yes, I know!  It stinks!  Everybody quit yelling at me.  It was a bad roll, I swear it was!

Dorian:  I can't believe it!  Now how will the party be able to prepare against that red dragon without the two strongest characters?  We're doomed!  DOOOMED!  Oh that poor village!  --Oh that poor, poor table!  Do you know how expensive this furniture is?

Cullen:  Inquisitor, calm down.  It's just a game.  No need to trash the table.  Yeah, you lost your character, but you can always re-roll.

Scribe Girl:  Oh!  I'm really sorry... I was the one who was supposed to check for traps, I think...  Not you, Inquisitor...

Leliana:  I knew I should've rolled a rogue.  Ugh.  For what it's worth I'm sorry about your character, Inquisitor, but... Losing your character and Cassandra's is awful.  I don't think we'll manage the dragon with two lowbies.  We need to think of a new plan.

Varric: Look, if SOMEONE had just checked for traps... We've got two ACTUAL skilled trap-finders, right here in the room, and two of your characters are rogues.  Next time, somebody remember to mention checking for traps.  But it's not the end of the world, Cassandra, you can re-roll, and we'll go with Leliana's idea of thinking up some new plan.

Solas:  I love being the DM.

THIS IS THE BEST EXPLANATION YET!
IF ONLY I COULD GIVE YOU ALL THE LIKES!
I really want to draw it but it's like... a lot. Maybe if I work on it in increments.
(and try not to shove a bagillion characters in one panel)

Not terribly a fan of it. I actually did like it a lot until I saw the pre-alpha designs. I prefer costumes with random details to them, so it might just be that I was having a hard time deciphering the details on the vest. There really is just something about him. I love all the info that we're seeing on all the other characters, and I'm not terribly distraught that we're not getting more info on Solas (though it would be nice), but there's just something about him that draws me in, and I can't quite place it. I just hope I continue to like him after I meet him in game. Though even if I don't on the first play thru, I'm sure I'll find something about him to love on subsequent runs. :3

Oh... yeah... I guess I always liked the vest because I totally BS-ed it when I drew it. (whoops) Yeah- okay- alright- that makes sense. That totally makes sense. 

Well, glad to have you in the thread (along with all the other lurkers coming out of the woodwork! It's a Christmas miracle!), and the support network. And, hey, a Solas cosplay! Never thought there'd ever be one of those. B >

And I think that's what we're all hoping, that he isn't some bad apple character.

Hello and welcome to everyone who just joined in! Wow our little fanbase is actually starting to grow yaay! Don't be afraid to join in and share all of your crazy thoughts, I swear this is the friendliest, funniest and sweetest thread in the whole forum You know all this talk about Solas being in introvert got me thinking, what if he's a tsundere!? Here's the definition for those of you who don't know the term  Tsundere is a Japanese character development process that describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing their warm side over time.

That would explain him being an introvert right? But then on the other hand I don't know where his sassiness would come from..

[Felya87]

That would be fun, Cezelle!

And is good to see the Solas fanbase is growing (at least in this thread)

Is quite a good result, since we have...very little about him, if not wild speculations...

[DragonRacer]

I'm starting to think half of Solas' fanbase is comprised of lurkers. It's good to see more people posting though.

 
 

Solas' fanbase = lurker introverts.

Iunno, but it makes sense!!!

 
You know, if Allan's random throw-away comment had any basis in fact and Solas really is introverted, it is toooooooootally ironic that he's got a lot of introverted lurker fans that are slowly warming up and feeling safe and coming out to say "hi". Like how I'd imagine Solas might actually be if introverted... a sloooooow friendship.
 
Heh, wonder how he'd react to us more boisterous, in-your-face fans of his? 
 

 
 
Anywhos, welcome, welcome new Solas fans (or, rather, long-time Solas fans just now stepping out from the shadows)!

Interesting that you bring up Tsundere since after the initial "what does scotch bonnet candy mean?" phase, I wondered if it hinted at something like that... a character who can sort of flip emotions pretty quickly. TV Tropes has a pretty good, long write-up on the concept, but here's the gist of it to elaborate a little more on what you wrote:

 

The Japanese term tsundere refers to a character who "runs hot and cold", alternating between two distinct moods: tsuntsun (aloof or irritable) and deredere (lovestruck).

 

The term was originally used to describe characters who began with a harsh outgoing personality, but slowly revealed a soft and vulnerable interior over time. Over the years the character archetype has become flanderized, and is now generically associated with a character who flips between the two emotional states at the slightest provocation.

 

The tsuntsun can range from the "silent treatment" to "lovestruck kindergartener who pushes you into the sandbox." The reasons behind a Tsundere's behavior vary widely, but usually boil down to the conflict between their feelings of affection towards a love interest, and their reaction to having those feelings.

 

The Tsundere stock characterization is very popular with writers of Romantic Comedy because the conflicts between the two personality facets can be easily utilized to generate both drama and comedy. It also acts as a source of Wish Fulfillment: specifically, the idea that every independent, hardened and just plain jerkish love interest (male or female) has a squishy emotional centre that will embrace you after you crack the outer shell.

soooo....only to me the description remind me a little of Fenris's romance?

Not a bad thing at all, by the way...

Oh. That's a good point, actually.

 

I... uh... I never actually completed a Fenris romance, so that didn't pop into my mind at all. I know, I know... I keep meaning to go back and do that, just... dunno, something about Fenris just turned me off, so I never really felt a desire to genuinely pursue him. That and I somehow always end up circling back to romancing Anders because ALL THE (TRAGIC) FEELS UNGH, even when I start a new playthrough having intentions of pursuing somebody else for a change. Maker, help me, these mages... why can I not keep my dirty, dirty, protective paws off of these MAGES? *agony*

 

So, I totally didn't make the connection that maybe that's not at all what a potential Solas romance would be like, because that would sort of be pretty similar to the elf romance from last game.

 

Hmmm...

Well, Fenris is an example of the aggressive and flipfloppy tsundere. (and the flipfloppy thing is annoying as all get out at times)

 

If Solas were a tsundere I imagine (personal conjecture, hoooooo!!!) that he would be the "cold" seeming type. As opposed to necessarily fighting with the Inquisitor, he'd seem indifferent to him/her until something provoked a sudden reaction from him and then, "All the feels, uh" would flow out in a rush. (This type can also be flipfloppy. "Whatever, lalala, OH NO MY LOVE IS IN DANGER!!! .... -What?" *walks away like nothing happened at all*)

 

It's actually kind of what I've been expecting for him, just being a Canadian game and not an Eastern one, I hadn't even thought of the word tsundere. I also imagine the flavouring would be VERY different even if he technically falls under the trope.

Yep, exactly my thoughts too, I was just on the verge of writing something similar I think they focused a lot more on the agressive side of Fenris' tsundere character, and I imagine that they won't do that with Solas, I think they'll want to make him seem like he doesn't care much (like you already said) and like we've seen in multiple pictures already, that he'll always try to stay in the background with everything. Untill something bad happens to the people he cares about of course, and then the scotch bonnet (candy) part of him pops out.
