Why do I have this really bad feeling that they're going to save Solas for the last, because he's so darn important to the plot? I'll be consulting the "little birds" fervently until I'm sure that my gut is lying to me. You know, a new picture or anything would be nice too, that'll keep us busy for a while again, stop being so introverted Solas and come out! This isn't funny anymore!  :angry:


The whole "last supper" Solas is judas position is getting more and more likely each day.

:crying:

if he must be a "Judas", I hope he is like Zevran. with enough friendship he will come and help you instead of try to betray you. As long as it is an avoidable betray, I have no problem, I even like it. Is a way to roleplay. You are friend with character x, s/he would not betray you. S/he can't stand you, your loss. But inavoidable NO.

 

I had enought of Anders. not.funny.at.all.  :angry:

If solas is like judas i hope he's like the judas in "revisionist history of Judas" where judas was the most loyal to jesus but to bring the power of repentance to the world, judas was commanded by jesus to betray him.

 

I also feel like the symbolism similarly to the last supper is some kind of relevance to how things will play out but it probably won't be the exact same, (I'm hoping anyway cause that means that the inquisitor would have to die) so it's more that the inquisitor is more referenced as either a savior or possibly even a god?

Forced PC death, if ME3 is a good example, is not very loved by players. (I would not like it, surely)

I don't think they'd make a direct parallel with the story of Jesus, I am pretty sure that would not go down well at all...I certainly wouldn't like it.

 

I take it the parallels with the last supper are because its a long table, inquisitor in the middle and six followers either side?  It would be a bit obvious/clumsy of them if that had such a direct parallel of meaning.  Also, much of the importance of the  Last Supper is what the disciples are doing in the painting, Judas is set apart from them. In the inquisition picture they are all disconnected and not interacting, a few of them seem to be looking at the Inquisitor and Solas is one of them, so if anything he appears more engaged.

 

I hope that if there is any thematic comparison between the inquisition picture and the last supper that it is perhaps just introducing the idea that the inquisitor could be betrayed, and that they could be betrayed by any one of them.

 

I also doubt that not yet being revealed would have anything to do with him being a Judas character.  If anything I think they are holding back on Dorian, Solas and Scribbles because they want to save some of the new characters.  It would seem logical that Solas or Dorian are likely to be next as we do know something about them,  with scribbles being the last.

 

My biggest fear for DAI is that the fate of companions is set in stone,  being able to alter outcomes for companions is crucial to my enjoyment of Bioware games.

Solas is the Judas? Uh, I never thought that of him. He doesn't seem the type to sell anyone out. Why would he? He is obviously accustomed to living "poor", being an apostate and all. He can't exactly turn the Inquiz over to any authority, because as a mage they'd lock him up as well.

If anyone is the "Judas" of that shot, it is Vivienne. Maybe this means nothing; she is the only one looking at the 'camera' in the Last Supper shot. Everyone else is focused on the inquisitor and his map, she is looking away. And that trailer said "But what is her true agenda" and well, she is a player in the game, of course she can't be trusted. Just saying, I don't anyone needs to fear Solas willingly betraying us.

Strangely, I'm not as worried about Solas being a Judas type character as I expected to be.  I've come to realize he doesn't have to fit whatever image of him I've made in my mind, as long as his story is interesting and exciting I'm sure I'll get over it :)  (lol, I still desperately want my Inquisitor to be all up in that though, but I'll survive if she can't be *sniffle*)

 

And damn Cole is one spooky looking mofo (which is awesome).

While he might not betray you, he might steal your dessert when you're not looking:

I think Solas may be neglected in the marketing due to not really being as visually striking as the others, not because he's Judas.

 

Cass = BAMF

Varric = Relatable

Cole = Creepy

Sera = Punk

Vivi = Vivi

Bull = Qunari

Warden = Manly man

Dorian = 'stache

Solas = ..Elven taxidermist?

Hello Solas Thread. I have been lurking for a while, desperately hoping for some tiny shred of new Solas news. I'm so bummed that we still don't have anything. I am excited about Cole, but I already know a decent amount about the character. All we know about Solas is that he's a bald elf mage. That's it.

 

So I guess I'll just continue to lurk in here on a sad vigil for new info.

Welcome, welcome! Glad to see you out in the open! 

 

And yes, we all share the same pain :( Maybe we should start a petition  :lol: The "Give us more Solas or else" petition!

Well... now we have SOMETHING for all the companions... whether official or not... so hopefully now is meaty stuff. I do wish they had waited on Varric a bit. Perhaps they're still working on those final textures. What was up with Cole being 80% temp texture?

I had no problem with my Warden going for the Ultimate Sacrifice, but only because it was my decision. I had ample warning from my Mass Effect friends about my Shepard's inevitable fate so I was able to prepare myself emotionally.

Really starting to get tired of the fact that Solas is basically being ignored at this point.  :(

I'm wondering if the character reveals are split along the whole Order/Chaos lines? Iron Bull, Cassandra, Sera, Vivienne, and Blackwall are representatives from major organizations (the Friends of Red Jenny appear to operate across Thedas). Varric is on his own side, Cole is stuck between the Fade and reality, Dorian is an ex-Magister, and Solas is our resident Fade and long johns enthusiast.

There was a large part of me that was hoping that the elf in the concept art was that guy too. Heh.

On the one hand, I like that we got an entirely new character today. Cole looks like...well, sort of like an emo zombie. But maybe this is just because I was watching Warm Bodies again the other night. 

 

On the other hand, STILL NO SOLAS.

Definitely not out in left field.  :) We've talked about this before in the thread, and I still think it's a distinct possibility. The longer we go without any info, and the more I see of the other more traditionally aligned characters, the more certain I am that Solas is going to be a lot more than just an apostate elf. Quite possibly they're waiting to talk about him because who and what he is has bearing on a part of the plot that hasn't been revealed/discussed yet.

 

None of which is any consolation at this point, because WANT SOLAS INFO NOW. I mean, even the dead (or at least, unsettlingly corpselike) guy got to go before him!  :crying:

So then the question would be who would be the Order and Chaos between Dorian and Solas?

 

Oooh... I like that question!  Would Dorian's desire to fix Tevinter make him Order or Chaos?  As a Fade expert helping the Inquisition close Veil tears I'd guess Solas would be Order, trying to fix what's been broken and put the pieces back together.  But if he IS linked to Felassan in some way or if he has some other ulterior motive he could easily be Chaos, pulling strings and playing us all along.  OoOoOoh, sorry I'm way to into this today :)
