From another thread:

Ok another German Magazine and another new preview.

Only a few new infos.

 

The author Heinrich Lenhardt talked a bit about a new optional sidequest. For a  NPC character named Fairbanks

you have to find orlaisian deserters. I don´t know if this means that you have to kill them.

 

Sera is also comfirmed in this article as companion.

 

Iron Bull is different than you think of a typical Qunari companion. He has a lot of humor. I would describe him as Anti Sten.

He has also his own army (mercs probably). Therefore it is interesting why he joined the Inquisition.

Which goals did he have?

 

Solas has a strange personality. A bit awkward in some situations.  But he has expert knowledge about the fade.

Male Merrill? :D

 

Sorry but thats all.

God, i hope he is nothing like a Merril. If there was a companion i hated to communicate the most with, it was her. All that stuttering, eww.

I also don´t like Merrill. The main reason was that she was a stubborn blood mage. Solas doesn´t sound that he is a blood mage.

But if you don´t like my short characterization than see him as elven Finn. Its that ok?

I think it sort of depends on whether or not Solas is the type of person that would have an interest in seeing something like that happen. My first impression of him is that he might be the party's "mage freedom" representative, so I'm a little shaky on whether or not I think he'd be on board with anything that could potentially help the templars. It depends on what his position is on the issue, though. I might just be misreading his position.

 

I see it more as a good thing for everyone rather than a good thing for Templars. But I also see it as an especially good thing for mages who don't want to be mages. I guess it's possible he could be the type of person who would be appalled that anyone would want to give up their gift. Mage freedom fighter or not I would hope he could be empathetic enough to understand that not everyone can handle living with the threat of demons. But I guess it's kind of weird of me to hope someone will do something they probably wont do in the game regardless of their stance. :)

i legit blushed..


i'm guessing he might be like double d from ed edd n eddy, maybe that sort of awkward.
he'll be smart, witty and on point about Fade business, but in the company of unpleasantness he'll melt into goo
XD or something like that

Eh, blood magic had nothing to do with her ability to communicate. As for Finn - not by much, but yes. Thank you.

I swear, reading these forums it's like nobody has ever met a scatterbrained/awkward person in their lives. :P

For what it's worth, I happen to like Merrill. Though I hope Solas isn't like her unless there's a good reason for it.

let's think of it this way ladies and mells :] at least knowing that he's awkward there is a good 100% chance that he'll be romanceable 
...now on the ironbull's side (and thread), there's a good chance that he won't be romanceable since i don't think he'll want to be tied down xD but we'll have to wait and see of course!

The problem I see with it for some mages is that they probably couldn't make it so that it could ONLY be a choice. I think almost everyone would support it if it were a choice option only, but tranquility isn't and this could almost certainly be forced, also. If you're a powerful mage and support mage empowerment, the idea that templars could just take that power away from you entirely is likely not a pleasant idea. 

 

And, honestly, if tranquility could be redesigned so it ONLY took away magic with no side effects, why WOULDN'T they use it wholesale? It completely nullifies the threat of abominations and leaves former mages with no drawbacks everyone else doesn't have. It's an ideal solution to the problem and hurts no one. That's also why I think tranquility can't ever be solved in this way. It's a completely necessary evil for tranquility to have a massive drawback.. for the plot.  :P

Damn. I have this awesome personality played out in my head. I was not expecting "awkward". I think my head is tuned in on the "smirtk" picture. But the Germans has been very wrong before. Hope they are again...

 

I simply want a LI that could possibly be the backbone for the Inquisitioner. But awkward ... meh. No more Merill. I am okay with her. But a male-Merrill. So -not- attractive. Its more "okay" for women.

 

I just have to wait and see. :)

They are not giving up their gift, they are giving up their life. Still their choice however.

I thought Merrill's stuttering and rambling was adorable, but I doubt that they would make Solas a cookie-cutter of her. I just don't think that would work for a grown-ass elf. Maybe he is a bit nebbish and nerdy. Although he must have quite a temper if he does that but is still a pepper.

Why because of the Solace typo? Or did i miss something else?

Can elves even be magisters? I know they work for them, but full fledged magister? I thought they were like the equivalent of Roman Senators.

Didn't Fenris' sister betray him because Danaerius was going to make her a magister?

See post #2051 in this thread. It's a quote from a thread in Scuttlebutt about a new German magazine article.

I hope "awkward" means something like he lived alone and never learned social graces or is only awkward with romantic advances or is a nerd and not: "but there's not really a fire hur dur" or "mugging must be the alienage greeting derp."

You forgot about twine!

Now, the picture of Solas tethering with twine has certain appeal  :rolleyes:

Oh man, yeah. I'm up for awkward, I love awkward, I was hoping Solas was awkward, but Merrill's brand of awkward drove me up and down the walls.

My Inquisitor is buying the first ball of twine she comes across ^_^

Awkward could work!  But you're right, it'd have to be the right kind of awkward and not just a repeat of Merrill.

 

If Solas is a Circle escapee, I could see him being generally knowledgeable about... romance... (I think Anders said the mages were all kissing each other in his Circle) but he could start out as a no-nonsense, all business kind of guy.  Maybe he's too guarded or thinks love/sex is just a silly distraction when you're busy saving the world.  Good thing I always take Persuasion talents when they're available ^_^

Oh, I hope his awkwardness carry's over to his (possible) romance. If Solas uses corny pick-up lines on my characters, I will not be able to resist him, it is a fact.

OMG I would die!  The programmers might as well write a line of code that instantly removes all my Inquisitor's gear after a line like that.

 

Edit: I'm so thankful men have never used pick up lines on me because I'm still giggling about that one.  That could probably hurt a man's pride.  Also, seriously excited about Solas being awkward in some situations.  I didn't realize just how desperate I was for info, but even that tiny tidbit of info is thrilling :P

I thought she was just going to up the ranks as some apprentice. Didn't realize it'd be a full blown magister.

And he'd be sincere about it, too, so if your Inquisitor starts laughing he'd have no idea why:lol:

Why am i being reminded of Emile, when i read your post? That's the kind of awkward you are looking for?  :lol:

 

 

I think that was the end goal.

I seriously doubt she was ever going to be, except in her brain.
