So we might have to choose between Solas and a corrupted templar? Or there may be another elven companion we don't yet know about?

Sera is technically also 'Kinfe-Eared'....soooo...  

 

I think we've had enough of possessed males (and LIs) already. Actually now that I think of it - I can hardly recall any possessed females at all. Well, other than that DA2 blood mage that was 'helping' boys in Dark town, and the Blooming Rose prostitute with that long exotic name. Not sure any of those two count as 'abomination' though...

Sebastian's comment was related to the inclusion of logical puzzles, and he was hypothetically suggesting one similar to the Hobbits and Orcs problem.

She cannot be an abomination, as per description:

"An abomination is a creature created when a demon possesses a living being with magical abilities."

 

Sigh, i really hope we won't have another possessed mage.

So, that's a no?

I love you, Allan.

Are the developers going to be using the term 'shem', too?

lol I got so excited when he and Patrick tweeted about that!  Not everyone likes them, but there's no such thing as "too many logic puzzles" in video games for me >.>  Well, maybe on your 6th or 7th playthrough, but still...

Yeah I wanted to punch the puzzle in Shale's quest and the ones in MOTA after the third playthroughs. 

 

Edit: I also was laughing this morning at the way people were reading so much into that joke and assuming it was about companions. This place really is ridiculously speculation-driven!

I hope so!We can't have the human npc's calling our Dalish pc's "knife-ears"without  using the term shem right back at them!It'll be unfair to say the least...

Never stopped Justice in DAA, you know....  

 

Oh, and we had no Sea of Holes in the skies back then...

Definitions of "abomination" or "possessed" aside, there has been a female companion (not an LI) that has been such: Wynne.

Justice was just undead in that game, though.

Yeah, my bad, I had forgotten about good old Wynne.

Still, it proves that both 'living' and 'magic' are not that essential. 

 

Anyway, I think that was an evil joke on dev's side. It does not necessarily mean something.

Out of topic...Here's another Solas fanart I being working on recently,It's a little rushed but I decided to share it anyway...

Shem really doesn't make sense anymore, I mean back when Elves lived for a gazillion years (that's what they claim anyway) it was acceptable, but now the Humans and Dalish have more or less the same life span and the city elves.. forget about it.

[Spectre Impersonator]

He's super tall for an elf, isn't he?

Is he? It's hard to tell with the screenshots. We don't really see him standing next to someone.

Ehm...I was joking...Although Lobsel does have a point,the term "shem" is still used as slang for humans,despite being outdated...

My comment wasn't actually directed towards you, it was directed towards as Fenris said "the smug sense of superiority" of the Dalish.  

 

What is really Ironic however, is the city elves using the word shem, while they have a lifespan of a dog.

Well what can I say,old habits die hard.Still superiority can be found on both sides,which makes thing more interesting in my opinion...

Do we know, at this point, about Solas' personality, I mean is he all 'Equality for Elves' or is he more along the lines of 'I don't give a flying fu*k' .

For some reason I'm picturing him as a guy who more identifies with "mage" than "elf" but everything is really up in the air when it comes to that. We already had the "I don't care that I'm an elf" dynamic with Fenris.

[EmissaryofLies]

He'll likely counter Vivienne's anti-mage rebellion bs. 

 

I cannot believe that a bald man may likely be my greatest ally going forth.

Hmm..Difficult to say,I have a hunch that he's more sympathetic towards elves,I'd say that Sera(assuming that the survey is still accurate) might be the one not to care about it much.

More of a "Remember to have some perspective of the context the discussion exists in."

 

I understand we're representatives of the company, and I realize that I have to be careful what I share on social media since it's easy for people to take what gets said and run with it (no matter how much I may put "My tweets are my own" - it's simply not true).

 

 

To be clear, I'm explicitly avoiding confirming or denying, because even by denying it I stop the fan speculation and discussion, and in general I enjoy the fan speculation and discussion.  I don't want people going "Well Allan said this and he has Word of Developer perspective" and lording that over other people's thoughts, and also would prefer to mitigate the feeling like I lied to people when they get more official details or simply play the game and learn about the characters.

So basically you don't want fans to take your word as law but you also don't want us to stop speculating so you can keep giggling at how wrong we are about everything. Gotcha. 

[Allan Schumacher]

Haha on some level.  In general I consider discussion like this positive and fun, though.
