I want Solas to be at the big clan meeting. Just to watch him wince whenever one of the more angry attendees yells "Dread Wolf take the lot of you!"

Aspergers/Autism is complex issue. There are the really high functioning people and those who need a lot of help. You can't really generalize by the diagnosis.

Sort of.

The Autism spectrum is a spectrum of disorders varying by functionality and IQ. Aspergers requires at least an average IQ to be diagnosed with (last i was told anyways) and primarily affects the social development of a person (don't get me wrong, it varies, but as a rule of thumb that's the biggest aspect of aspergers). It's also generally on the higher functioning side of the autism spectrum.  Though it manifests differently in all people the tendency, at least for females, is to be more aggressive and/or masculine. That isn't exactly a sure giveaway though, My parents divorced when I was young and my father got custody. I was a tom boy growing up due to this more than anything so diagnosing based on that alone would have been ridiculous. One of my main giveaways was that during the diagnosis process the one psychologist kept giving me social queues to talk, or to look at something and I completely missed all of them. The other big one was my list of rules for social interactions. I have to constantly remind myself to do certain things to blend in. You know, Turn your feet to make sure you're looking at someone, look at someone's upper nose area (i hate making eye contact with everyone except my fiance, and immediate family) when talking to them, ect ect. Unfortunately this does have a few flaws. I basically automatically respond to greetings people say directly at me with "hi." or "hello", and some people i've sort of made friends with since moving to university have noticed this. They tend to abuse it from time to time and start saying hi int he middle of a conversation and I'll respond immediately before i realize whats going on, then cuss because they got me.

 

The other thing with Aspergers is generally the emotional development. From what I know in classical diagnosises and from other people who were diagnosed that I know (They sent me off to Autism camp. Yes. that was a thing. I ended up the ringleader of a group of like 12 people because I had higher development socially, in part due to the rules I've mentioned, and helped them all interact haha) Aspergers generally has one of two effects. Either the person is emotionally stunted ie less sympathetic, less likely to show emotion or generally seems to care less/differently. Or the person is overly emotional (me.) And can cry over the stupidest things. Like my best friend ate my last strawberry on me (it was the best one that I was saving for last) And i don't know why but i just started crying everywhere. Then laughing because it was so stupid that i was crying. So i kinda hugged her laugh/crying and she just shook her head at me. And for clarification, No. it was nothing hormonal or pms related, because It was the wrong time of month for me to get moodswingy. (birth control pills make that wonderfully predictable xD)

 

er... Hope this makes sense. At least this is what I've picked up about Autism (well. aspergers in particular). My mum knows a hell of a lot more (she's been working with some doctors and stuff letting them pick her brain a bit) and I'm not exactly close with her so I only pick up a few bits here and there.

Sorry for the OT, but how can you really diagnose it when it is pretty low? I had an intelligent test and a brain scan. ... and a pretty bad conversation, where he offended my mum really bad, who was sitting beside me. I just couldn't take him seriously after his way of behaving with my mother.

OT?

I'm actually quite confused here. Maybe I typed something wrong? Me and the sister that were diagnosed both had 80+% chances on the initial screening. The one that did not get diagnosed scored really low on the screening.  Or am i completely misunderstanding you?

and how did he behave with your mother? I know the one guy told me that brushing myself with a little plastic brush might help my skin sensitivity and my dad was laughing his ass off at the guy.

I also really like how if you choose the middle flirt option when he talks about showing how much you mean to him you say "I have a few suggestions *wink wink nudge nudge*" and he's like "I shall bear that in mind *wink wink nudge nudge*" XD  I swear I didn't think he'd be so confident in flirting.  It was a pleasant surprise.

 

 

This is in the last scene? Or do you mean another? *confused

When he takes you to the woods and touches your cheek.  If you choose the middle option with the heart, there is much excellent innuendo

xD! This was perfect! Thanks for writing it!

[Tielis]

I also just thought "WTF" XD

 

Btw, I found out what "Fenedhis" means. You can find a note in the first house when you come to Emprise du Lion. It is about "swearing". Something like "damn" or "****" XD THAT is what Solas sometimes says when the Inquisitor dies.

 

Considering the beginning of it is "fen", maybe it means "wolf poop".  

[laurelinvanyar]

My boyfriend is a serial ruiner of romance cinematics. 

He ruined the citadel bottle shooting scene with Garrus in ME3 without even trying really, so I was determined that I wouldn't play any romance scenes with him at home this time around. 

I get to the final, VERY EMOTIONAL Solas scene and I didn't notice he was home (too busy fangirl-ing I guess), and right at the moment Solas says "Now you are free" my obnoxious (but hilarious) love comes in and says "What, did he give you a sock?" 

Guess who slept on the couch.

Sorry I meant, Off topic ._."

 

Oh well, just say, I think the doctor had his own problems...My mum is, as me, pretty unsure and has little self-esteem. And as I was to afraid she came into the room to talk to the doctor. And he immediately told her how stupid she was, and she shouldn't speak for me as she surely reads just dime novels...things like that. And then he was saying I had aspergers and I just thought "wtf?" it was pretty weird...A friend, who wanted to study medicine back then, couldn't hold himself when I told him about this diagnose and asured me, that this doctor must have been kind of crazy. The doctor himself confused myself with the tellings of my sister, and suddenly I had three children... but as I said, it was VERY weird. I just didn't really understand why I should have aspergers, by the few things he did with me.

*checked it out* aaaaaaaah now I see.....and I don't understand the same time Oo how can he just suggest...those things...or flirt and then break her heart.

Yeah he sounds like an asshat.

To be honest if the doctor is like that you might want to go to another one. A second opinion is never a bad idea, When I went my dad and I had to see 3 different people. I was old enough (and comfortable enough) with being talked to without him there so they interviewed us separately and compared it with the reports from my teachers. The whole thing took 3-4 hours with us there, and took the docs themselves a lot longer because they had to read all the reports ahead of time and prepare questions to verify them.

 

 

 

Back on topic. I had the worst time romancing Solas for the first little bit because he reminds me of my uncle.

For the sole reason that he's bald, but nonetheless it was weird until his personality came out rofl.

If my fiance wasn't so cuddly and huggy after the whole bit there I probably would have stole his pillow. Thats generally when he figured out he's in the doghouse and gets all huggy/kissy until my heart melts and I forgive him. xD

[arelenriel]

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I went through a few bottles of wine while playing DA:I (not because of Solas, more because I like wine). My vote is that elves drink some sort of wild berry wine. Or elfroot beer. Would that even be possible?

 

 

So, can non-dreamers walk the fade without significant lyrium/blood magic? Is the Dreamer ability explained anywhere? Is it something that Lavellan could learn or is someone "born" with it?

If you played Dragon Age II and do the Act I quest and Act II quests for Arianni in the Alienage it is explained better- essentially while all mages have a powerful connection to the fade .. Dreamers don't just walk the fade when they are asleep but awake as well and they have a connection to all of the spirits of the fade that makes them both less vulnerable to spirits who want into the living world at any cost, and more vulnerable to them. Connor is a Dreamer (which is explained in his Wiki entry) and Feynriel in DAII is a Dreamer. The problem is that because they have a stronger connection to the Fade than other mages if they become possessed they are nearly unbeatable- typically unless they have some sort of protection (e.g. Connor being an Arl's son) or are sent to the Tevinter Imperium (because the skill of training Dreamers was lost when Arlathan fell) the Templars usually either make them Tranquil or kill them outright whenever they are found. My theory is that alogn with Solas's actions in his previous life/body/manifestation that this is one of the main reasons why mages are becoming rarer amongst the Dalish and City Elves because of their past the Elves fear this gift and this in combinatoin with Templars making them Tranquil or killing them reduces the number of mages amongst  the elves because the gift of Dreamwalking was one of the more  predominant forms of magic among the elves in the days of Arlathan (which also explains why they were at the top of society if they were in the majority)

Thanks a lot. I keep that in mind. I am visiting for some months a therapist because of my extreme shyness.

 

 

Oh well, Solas kind of reminded me of one of my professors because of his baldness ._." But not while speaking XD as my professor was actually italian and it was too cute listening to him while he was talking in german =3

[hex0mega]

I just finished Solas' personal quest 'All New, Faded for Her' again and had a thought.

 

Spoiler

If he gets that upset (and dare I say, vengeful) over harm done to his friend, what would he do if someone hurt the person he loved? Perhaps he broke it off with Lavellen not only to pursue his goals, but also out of a need to hide/protect his weakness.

 

[edit: adding spoilers, just in case]

 

 The masochist in me really wants to see a fic where after defeating Corypheus, the Inquisitor is in real danger and is kidnapped by a group of heretics, kept trapped by blood magic, and Solas finds out about it. Not because I have a white knight fantasy or anything, just because

I'm really intrigued to see just what sort of godly wrath this elf contains.

I wished I'd know the translation!

 

Hm... It doesn't look like we can get a literal translation at this time. 'fen' is a word, but 'edhis' doesn't seem to have a meaning. It could be one word, or maybe it's supposed to be two? 'ed' and 'his'

 

Hard to say. I need more elvish.

This is once again off topic. I hate to tell you guys, but the new DSM V eliminated the diagnoses of Aspergers and it's only Autism now. I am not saying that I agree wtih the decision, but technically Aspergers don't exist. =/ At the end of the day it's just a label. What matters is how comfortable you are with yourself. Everyone is different to some degree anyway and that's what makes the world interesting.

 

 

On topic. Solasss whyyyy?

Yeah I tried this myself... fen must be wolf, it is just so fitting, but I couldn't really make something out of the end syllables. I first thought he said fenedeth, with the final syllable eth = safety, which could have meant something like "be aware of wolves" XD which would make sense because of solas, but not of the whole situation....

[Eivuwan]

@ Mahal, that doctor is an ass. I'm glad you are in therapy. It is very helpful.

Gah, That reminds me of my ex, he used to speed run through games and then just ****** about how boring the game was.  Seriously, I think he finished Skyrim with in 6 hours.  DX  I don't think I even finished the main quest line.

It is! I had thought he said the same. It would make sense but no one would get the context. Lavellan would probably be: Why does he keep telling me to watch out for the wolves? What wolves?

 

I hope the new World of Thedas book gives us some more.

[ACD101]

I couldn't get the All New Faded For Her quest to work. -__-

I go to the area but no cutscene triggers (and I do have Solas in the party). ):

I find the main story to be more impactful if you do a bunch of side quests inbetween missions.

Yeah, especially which wolf exactly *mad laughing*

 

Did you read btw that the Dalish lie flowers in front of the wolf statues, but not really knowing why?
