Don't know how others feel about it, but I am willing to knowwwww!

Before I go to work guys, I just wanted to leave you with this...for old times sake...

 

[Mims]

I really want to know why there is no possibilty of him being with the Inquisitor. When you talk to Cole after the epilogue he says how Solas has to walk this path alone forever. What is he up to?!?!? There must be more to it than him just wanting to open up the Eluvian to free the Elven gods.

Also, it really ticks me off that after Solas dumps you and you talk to him, he promises that all will be made clear after dealing with Cory and then he just leaves! What the dickens Solas!

 

Spoiler

I personally believe it is because of one of the following:

 

a. He knows Lavellan will disapprove of his plans, because those plans involve risk to mortals. OR

b. He knows that once he frees the elven gods, they will turn around and enact vengeance upon him. 

 

Both outcomes are likely terrifying to him. Either he'll be forced to fight against Lavellan, which he doesn't want to do, or she becomes a very easy target for someone looking to cause him harm.

Well, I think Solas may have impaired my mind more than I thought he had. Literally had this conversation with my mother this morning.

 

Mom: Hey honey, can I get you anything to drink?

Me: No thanks mom, I already have tea. 

At least, that was what I meant to say, instead I said: No thanks mom, I already have Solas.

 

I WISH I DID BRAIN, I WISH I DID

[vertigomez]

I thought Gareth David-Lloyd did a brilliant job of voicing Solas, making Elvish sound like an actual language.  
 
The one conversation that interests me in particular occurs if you take Solas with you into the Fade (seen here at 4:05).  
 
I've seen a number of attempts at translations of Solas' conversations, but I'm fairly certain the ones of his conversation with the Nightmare are based on faulty premises, such as forgetting the fact that while "ma" may translate to the adjective "my" or the objective pronoun "me", it is also used as the pronoun "you". Furthermore, the word "solas" is not capitalized, so the Nightmare is not referring directly to Solas himself.  Using the Elven phrases on p. 32 from "The World of Thedas, Vol I", I translate the following thusly (don't read if you want to avoid spoilers):
 
Nightmare:  Dirth ma, Harellan.  Ma banal enasalin.  Mar solas ena mar din.
(Harellan = Trickster; banal = "nothing", inferred from banalhan = "place of nothing"; enasalin = "the process of obtaining joyful relief", inferred from enasal = "joyful relief"; solas = "pride, to stand tall; din = "the dead")
 
Solas:  Banal nadas.
(nadas = "an inevitability, something that must be")
 
Nightmare:  Tell me, Trickster   You have not found joyful relief.  What was once proud and stood tall appears to have died.
Solas:  It does not have to remain so.

I'm digging this translation. Somebody should make a separate thread about it so we can get some input from the non-Solasians about what this meeeaans for the future.

Yeah.. somebody...

Second playthough, i did All new faded fo her. First time the dialogue in elvish was not translated, now the subtitles are in english Is this because of the "history perk" (I didn't have it the first time)? I love this!



Edit: or was this a bug the first time? XD

I'm glad people seemed to respond well to my fanfic!

 

I'm at work now and will really need you guys to keep me occupied because I am just not feeling it today.

[Shady Koala]

Well I finally finished the game...

 

Spoiler

Well I certainly didn't expect that my strictly loyal Dalish inquisitor
would not only get herself bound to Mythal but would also get cosy
with Fen'Harel himself. She kept the Vallaslin though.

As for Solas' romance arc, I really enjoyed it especially for it just
being an add on. It was something new and I'd like to think he will
appear in a future DLC. Too much of a cliff hanger and I dislike
cliffs and hangers.

[Tielis]

I, uh, damn. 

 

Um ... there were words ... I remember how they go.

 

**** guys, I decided to start playing again and leave the forum and return to this? 

 

*sigh*

 

Well done on the fiction though.  A+  I especially like the physical vagueness and emphasis on metaphor and emotion.  It was very fade-like. 

 

 

I was listening to some banter with Solas and Bull and it got me thinking.  He's not wrong to criticize the Imperium and the Qun, but he never offers a solution.  He only criticizes.  So does he have a solution?  Does he just want everyone to be free?  That doesn't work though.  There has to be some government.  Anarchy is an interesting idea, but it has no practical application. 

 

But he can't truly be an Anarchist as he has nothing negative to say about the Inquisitor seizing power across the whole of Thedas.  He's only concerned when she/he is too aggressive towards their charges.  He doesn't want Democracy either.  Since he made that comment that sharing power would never work.  So what does he want?  A monarchy where the monarch is a "good" person who holds the reigns of the entire kingdom?

 

That can't be right.

 

Or is it that his "solution" is so far-fetched that it would never work in "this" Thedas.  Thus he never shares it.  For instance ripping the world apart and rebuilding it from the ashes? 

 

I see this in his banter with Vivienne as well.  She asks him what his solution would be and he basically says that he would simply kill any mages who turn to demons.  She is understandably perturbed at that and asks if it would be only him who says who is right and wrong.  He doesn't have an answer for her.

 

I think Lavellan is his solution for everything.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it!    I say this because of the way their cards are designed and he's the Heirophant, right?  So he inspires and illuminates and she gets things done.

 

Meh, I'm getting to the point that I won't even buy the DLC if we don't get a satisfactory ending.  Headcannon is sometimes way better.

Oh man my Lavellan is feeling the heart break bad ;( its really damn hard especially having him in the party afterwards. I'm hoping to get the banter between Cole and Solas where you can ask yes why exactly did you leave me or something like that. 

I do have a question in regards to 2 things

I had my Lavellan drink from the Well Of Sorrows (She just didn't trust Morrigan and felt Morrigan wasn't telling the whole truth) I'm kinda curious as to What is going to happen in regards to being being bound to Mythal as I looked at the end epilogue with Solas and Mythal um so Does this mean my Lavellan is now bound to Solas now that he took Mythal's power/essence or What is going to happen to my Lavellan?

Also has anyone asked Solas if the orb can be repaired after it was broken? I know I had seen the option for it,but  I didn't select it. I really need DLC I'm hoping Bioware gives us one I tell ya this much my Inquisitor would abandon/leave the Inquisition for Solas in a heartbeat to be with him

[Aira Rennyde]

 

Nightmare: Tell me, Trickster You have not found joyful relief. What was once proud and stood tall appears to have died.

Solas: It does not have to remain so.

Concerning this. I came up with a similar translation yet I'd like to add some remarks if no one objects

 

Firstly, it is also possible that Nightmare says 'tell yourself' meaning 'admit it' or something. Secondly, I'm not 100 per cent sure what actually is implie in the third phrase. I like this version more, 'cause Nightmare speaks of ancient elves, not Solas personally,

Yet there is a problem with 'mar' translation. I'd say (like in the quote) this is a some sort of negation but it could have other meaning, too..

yeah, he said something like "it won't be the same", meaning the power of the orb is gone and it won't come back even if you fix the pieces together.

[Yofi]

Also, I was interested in "fade kiss" cutscene - when Solas said that "Haven will always be important to you", and Quizzy answer was - "We discussed it already" - em, I missed something? Where and when were they discussing it earlier?

[Tielis]

@Brass_Buckles

 

Speaking of powerful people who turned out to mages ... if you collect all of the landmarks in the Hinterlands you find out that the famous Tyrdda was a mage.  It is explicitly stated that if she had not acted as she did it is likely that Fereldan would have fallen before it even began. 

 

So, I mean.  Powerful mage heroes popping up at perfect times during history and saving their people is not a new idea.  I wonder how many others we could find?  I personally think Andraste was a mage.  I mean Bioware wouldn't drop heavy hints like that without a reason.

 

As to whether or not Solas sees himself as a god.  I think he does, but only by association.  I think he sees himself as as powerful as the other elvhen deities.  If they were more than mages or spirits ... whatever.  He thinks himself the same.  He definitely shoulders god-like responsibilities and sense of duty.  Which is ... troubling.  Because you are all right there is something painfully mortal about him. 

 

My mage got Tyrdda's "axe" from a war table mission and it is an amazing purple-quality staff.  It uses the same model that Solas is carrying on the way to Skyhold.

 

Also, after reading her story, I got the impression that Tyrdda's "leaf-eared lover" may have been one of the elvhen gods.

Ahh ty it kinda Makes me wish we could have fixed it and gave it power with the anchors power being that power was from the orb originally.

And it pains me that, considering my native language, "ma sa'lath" sounds for me like "mom, salad". It's just... wrong. It makes me giggle while reading fanfics, and I can't help it ><

Never had the problem, though,

Yes, and it seems I'm the only one with that problem even among my friends. They say it's childish to laugh at something like that, but... I believe I'm powerless.

Well, some words and phrases in other languages can be really funny. I try to abstract from the sounding of the native language and concentrate on the one I'm hearing/speaking. However, elven is not a real language and you can't speak in it... and it's sad that it's undeveloped).

I don't know, but I thought it was funny that Lavellan waited until they trekked all the way to Haven from Skyhold before she raised any objections.  I was thinking, Now you start complaining?

 

Then, I found out the truth of where they were XD

Re: Playlists

 

Is there a spotify playlist? I seem to remember someone saying they would make one.

 

If there is, I would like to add to it. (Again.)

 

It's by Oh Land, called Wolf & I.

Lyrics:

"Wolf & I"
 

Before the world you know was like it is
I held a lover once and I was his
And we walked along the river in the sun
But he's a lonely man, so this was done
The only place we had to meet is night
While the sun he sleeps in shadows we can hide
On the mountainside we'd spent our time together
But it is gone when morning comes

And you are the wolf
And I am the moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I

How many days and nights will come and go
While the only light you'll see is from my glow
There will never be a dawn that breaks the spell surrounding us
Till the earth dies with the sun

And you are the wolf
And I am the moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I

You are the wolf
And I am the moon
And in the endless sky we are but one
We are alive
In my dreams wolf and I

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh [x4]
Aaah aaah aaah aaaah aaah [x2]

In the endless sky we are but one
Hmmmm mmm

I've been stalking deadendthrills.com. Not a lot of Solas shots up yet, but damn some of these are amazing. 
 
Very jelly of these super computers. I hope one with one of the Fen'Harel statues shows up.

What are the specs on the that computer?

[Tielis]

 

I'm pretty sure he's not entirely against it.  He doesn't mind an elven Inquisitor being a knight enchanter, and they bind spirits to their blades.  I doubt he'd have a problem with a spirit joining a willing mortal host, either.

 

Those are *willing* spirits, says so right in the codex.

[kalasaurus]

Does Solas have a reaction to the Necromancer specialization?
