Btw are we really moving this to another thread?  Can I get some confirmation?  I don't want to leave.  I like it here.  It's comfy.

I know, we'll still be here too, don't worry! :)

here is the thread where we're discussing the spoiler: http://forum.bioware...n-warned/page-3

The other thread is in a group made up of Solas thread people. It was started way back when before the game came out and someone had a huge spoiler about Solas in a media video. People were trying to avoid spoilers at the time, so we took the conversation out of the thread to respect that.

I see some of the discussion over the spoilery stuff, honestly I don't care what naughty things he may or may not have done or what he may do.  As long as he returns to passionately take Lavellan into his arms and love her forever all can be forgiven.  xD

 

He says he is enjoying reading our fan/love/hate posts about him:

I got suspicious when he went on his rant about how the world was a better place when there was no veil. But I was like, "meh, I stuck with Anders after he blew up the chantry, I can stick with Solas if he destroys the veil."

 

But that wasn't what happened....at least not yet...

 

Yep, that was the point at which I (and my female Lavellan) went *lightbulb*  Dude is lying, he was there.

 

Male Lavellan is not quite as sharp as he thinks he is.

 

 

Sorry to break into the front like this, but I'm catching up on the thread and this perfectly sums up my emotions.

 

It sucks so much, because there are definite moments in the game where I look at Solas and think, "Is this all part of your grand evil plan?"

 

Then I ignore it ... it doesn't matter ... all that matters is fade kisses and butt grabs and telling the quizzy how super awesome she is.

 

I'm pretty much on that train completely now, though.  I get mental images of the writers sitting around with their heads in their hands bemoaning the fact that they made their new badass supervillain too sympathetic and look how long the Solas thread is and WHAT DO WE DO NOW?!

 

 

His chess match with the Iron Bull demonstrates how ruthless he is when it comes to winning. It's alarming to contemplate how well he knows everyone in the Inquisition, all their strengths and weaknesses. Sickening, actually.

 

 

Spoiler

 

Yes.  Poor Lavellan, you sweet summer child... another pebble under Fen'Harel's foot, even though she slowed him down a bit for a time.   :crying:

Sorry to interrupt the flow of conversation, but wanted to pop in to drop this off so I can read ya'll's thoughts when I get home from work in an hour. Also sorry that formatting is wonk I had to copy and paste from an email. And finally sorry if this has been posted before, and for all the text (I have a lot of feels about this).

someone posted this on reddit, with possibly MAJOR (not kidding) spoilers for future content. Apparently they data mined some
designer notes regarding the epilogue and what exactly is going on
there, including who did what to who and why. I don't have enough
knowledge (read: I have no knowledge) of programming so it's
impossible for me to verify whether or not it's real, and I'm hoping
someone here can take a look at their screenshot and see if it looks
legitimate

Also, I really don't think this is fuel for "HE DIDN'T REALLY LOVE HEEEEEEEEEEER" when it comes to Lavellan. Clearly she meant quite a lot to him.

Hey guys, I've been reading and reading this forum from day one and never thought I could add anything to the discussion, but man I have to now because I finished my first PT and I need SUPPORT FOR MY SHATTERED BRAAAAINS. 

 

I played my Lavellan kind of like myself, a scientist, always looking for answers to the big questions but not really being held back by the potential consequences of her discoveries. She's fascinated by Solas and kind of on board for everything he says from the beginning...especially with the "spirits are people too" thing. 

 

She's hurt that Solas, after all their agreements and collaboration on the strange theories he's presented to her throughout the story, just leaves her in the dust to continue the investigation on his own. She really loves their brains working together, and it's an insult to her that he doesn't think she's capable of being involved. She's made some ruthless choices in the course of the inquisition so there's no reason to think she wouldn't be willing to break a few eggs in the process of bringing about change. In my headcanon from the moment he turns his back she's already puzzling out how to find him; she's pissed and wants answers and possibly some of that good ol' angry sex when she inevitably outsmarts him in the end.  

 

So in regards to those new possible spoilers/revelations, it doesn't bother me so much, because my Lavellan was down with being ruthless when it served her interests. I think it would bring about an interesting DLC at the least. Either your inquisitor was always good and merciful and would end up having to destroy Solas because his means did not justify the ends OR your inquisitor was more gray with her morals and decides to join him in his quest no matter the consequences. It doesn't really make a good case for being a totally good person all the time, but hey, the world is more often a miserable place full of miserable people...

Random thought:  Given how Solas reacted to his spirit friend being harmed and killed, I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of anyone who hurt the Inquisitor, even after Lavellan's relationship with Solas is ostensibly ended.  I doubt it would look pretty.

 

It would be a mass slaughter. With wolves.

 

I had Cole on the wolf mission and never got this dialogue. :C 

 

Both his offended-ness and ego are showing.

 

Cole: Do you know a lot about wolves?
Solas: I know that they are intelligent, practical creatures that small-minded fools think of as terrible beasts.

 

Ohhh matches well with a fic I'm writing. XD

The spoiler doesn't faze me much, not sure why it bothers others.

Spoiler

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

If there is anything I've learned about trickster gods, it's what you've said. They teach you to question authority, and they are very "be careful what you wish for."

 

Spoiler

 

Pretty much this.

 

 

Spoiler
 
I really want to see the file for myself, to check whether or not this is the real deal or someone's trolling us (it looks like a legit file), I don't have the PC version of the game, can someone find this file?
 
I'm still on Team Optimism.

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

I also think a big revelation is that Solas is trying to save the elven people. There was some doubt that that was really his goal.

In fact... I love this snippet. I want it to be real, as long as it's developed in a way that respects our choices. I have high hopes that Bioware has learned from past experience, both DA and ME, in order to do that.[/spoiler]

 

Spoiler

 

Solas is ruthless, we saw that with his board game with Bull. He will achieve what he believes to be right, which is short-sighted and prideful. But we also saw, what I believe, is his real personality. He does have a good heart, and feels wretched over his mistakes. He broke it off with Lavellan because he felt like he was taking advantage of her, and not just because of the Anchor, but because of his "god-hood" and the things he must do. It is unhealthy, but good god is it all-consuming; because here we are going: "GIVE ME FEN'HAREL NOW"

With commentary from characters in the game suggesting change is coming to Thedas, I wonder how it will play out in the actual story. Must it be that we will automatically try to stop it from happening, to hold on to what we currently have... or will we be able to embrace the change and join in moving things forward? Death and war and destruction would be hard to justify for a lot of PCs, if it comes to that, but it wouldn't necessarily have to mean brimstone and fire, right? If we are given that option, I wonder if it means that a potential "antagonist" Solas will actually be an ally.

 

Unless it's a case of kill everyone and start over. That would be problematic. :P

It's a bit of a stretch, I'll admit. The poses of the statues are very different from the poses of the creatures in the mural. Still, I can't shake off the feeling that just by the wolf being on the left and the dragon being on the right for both the statues and the mural, that it serves as a clue that will eventually lead the Inquisitor to the eluvian, and then eventually to Solas. Of course, this is assuming that the creatures depicted in the mural ARE a wolf and a dragon respectively.  :P Bah... So many ways to interpret this.

 

That seems to be the case, doesn't it? Whether Lavellan decides to or not to actively pursue Solas, she'll end up crossing paths with him. He's far too involved with... everything.

creature on the left is a wolf, the 3D model is named "wolf statue"

I agree...I don't know that Solas' goals (if they are to tear down the veil) are really the worst thing possible for the world. But death and war and destruction already abound in Thedas, and it has for centuries...not to mention the rampant racism and injustice. Tearing down the veil sounds like it would be at the least a way to shake things up, and at the most a possible change for the better. There's just too much awful in the world as it is for my Dalish elf to just stand up and be like, "Naw, this is good. Let's just you know, chill in our caravans and let the other races kill each other in various wars, it's cool."

 

I can't help it, but "tearing down the veil" just makes me think of The Legend of Korra and how she broke the barrier between the spirit world and the real world. It was kind of rough but in the end, FLOATING SPIRIT BUNNIES. And you know, if it brings back some ancient Elven gods in the process, hey, maybe that will just knock down the humans off their high and mighty pedestal just a bit. It might hurt, but it's not like the humans of Thedas don't deserve it.
