Darn you all for jumping forward four pages while I played catchup two pages from where I started. Now I have to post responses completely out of the mood of current conversations.

 

Hawk is Andruil's favorite animal, just FYI. 

 

Oh dear, I suddenly regret leaving Hawke in the Fade now... "No one puts Hawke-y in a corner".

 

This is a legitimate discussion about the immortality vs mortality thing but I have to admit that now all I can think of is Solas becoming mortal and suddenly feeling his age. His physical form is apparently in its 40s, after all and he's old as hell! He's suddenly complaining about his back and his knee and is even more grumpy if he doesn't get enough sleep. Full on "you kids get off my lawn" and waving his staff around.  :D

 

He'd only be in his 40s. Pierce Brosnan was James Bond in his forties and you still don't hear him complain about his back.

 

...Mmm, Pierce Brosnan elf.

 

As damaged as Abelas probably is, I believe that he has potential because at the end of the conversation with Solas he seems like he does want to change... [snip]

 

Yep he's going to settle down into the paradoxical twilight years of immortality and open up a shop. He'll be Abelas the Ancient Elven Shoemaker!

 

[snip]

 

I actually can't imagine Lavellan getting with anyone else in the Inquisition. I'd say Abelas kind of works but I don't know how much he'd want to do with the Inquisitor. Not that we even know where the heck he got off too. And I feel like jumping in with another grumpy ancient elf right after Solas seems strange! Though I guess maybe Lavellan could have a type.  ;)

 

[snip]

 

Yes, Lavellan has a thing for older seemingly immortal bald elves. 10 or so years ago she was at Arlathven, saw Keeper Zathrien, and an oddly specific fetish just started from there.

 

 

Yes I agree with this 100%. I would love for there to be an ending where he is turned mortal. And I think this would actually be a HAPPY ending for him. I think his immortality has only brought him torment and pain. Living a mortal life with a woman he loves would be enough. 

 

Like in my stupid fanfic i plan on him dying like an old man in bed with Lavellan. And he is not remembered as the dread wolf or anything else. He's remembered as a trustworthy and wise man who was in love with Lavellan. In history he's written down as someone who helped the elves build a new empire and a lot of positive stuff. So the best thing he ever does is let himself die. 

 

I don't know, doesn't sound as fun. But what do I know? I want my Lavellan to jumpkick through an Eluvian and come out a godess with hair so perfect and model breaking that she can only appear in cutscenes.

 

Can the DLC just be Witch Hunt all over again? Ariane and Finn are there, acutely aware of the meta-context, and it just ends with finding Solas at an Eluvian.

I'm glad Shartan's sporting the plaidweave.

Best fabric in the game. DAT YELLOW.

That plaidweave!! I didn't even realize both Solas and my Lavellan were in matching plaid post-battle at the Winter Palace until they were headed back inside. It was like, aw, those crazy kids! OF COURSE they coordinate outfits and it's so adorable it makes everyone else puke. They would totally have matching Christmas sweaters.

If anyone had to be watching me in secret tonight they'd think I had lost my mind.

I've had the same 4 songs on repeat the last hour (Never Say Never-Basement Jaxx, Monument (T.I.E version)- Royksopp ft Robyn, I Had This Thing-Royksopp, Raise Your Weapon (Wax Motif Remix)-Deadmau5) so my head is bopping away, and I am tapping my feet.  I'm munching on sunflower seeds.  Every now and then I laugh (loudly) and proceed to start typing furiously, cuz of this thread. 

I must look like a crazy person

I'd like to think my Lavellan moves on if Solas doesn't come back ever. The Inquisitor isn't going to cry forever and lay down and die; she has work to do that's much more important than relationships.

 

If she did move on, I have to say that I once liked the idea of Cullen but now I'm picturing her with anyone but him. Just because it feels like everyone has this headcanon about Lavellan running into Cullen's arms. Some were even upset that they couldn't do just that after the ending of Solas' romance. It's left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth! Cullen deserves better than to be a rebound so I'd give him an Inquisitor all his own.

 

I actually can't imagine Lavellan getting with anyone else in the Inquisition. I'd say Abelas kind of works but I don't know how much he'd want to do with the Inquisitor. Not that we even know where the heck he got off too. And I feel like jumping in with another grumpy ancient elf right after Solas seems strange! Though I guess maybe Lavellan could have a type.  ;)

 

As for happy endings, I really still can't picture Solas' romance ending happily. I just hope we don't have to kill him in the next game or something. If they do a 'kill him or kill someone else' thing, I'm killing the other person no matter who it is. Solas 4eva  no matter what, I'm not blinded by love for him shut up!

 

I don't know, Abelas and Solas are both grumpy but they're also very different people. For one thing, Abelas is a soldier/guardian and Solas really is an intellectual/wizard in a tower. Once you get past their surface similarities, and gorgeous thighs, they don't actually have that much in common. I would say all my Lavellans have a type: ancient elf, grumpy may be negotiable. :P

You're in the Solas Recovery Wing. 

You are insane.
Why else would you be here if Solas hadn't completely destroyed you?

Hey, I'm sure Zathrian would be a perfectly suitable person to add to the "ancient" elf harem. He might not be as old as Abelas or Solas, but the man is as old as the first Ferelden werewolves. I'm sure when not having half his hunters fall to the curse, he's perfectly standoffish-yet-accessable to the Dalish ladies in the clan.

And kinda crazy in a bad way. Eh, I think I'll pass on that one.

As to whether Lavellan moves on or not. I don't know. In real life, it's always healthier for a woman to move on from a relationship that doesn't work. But this is a fantasy world. I imagine that Lavellan senses something special about Solas even though she doesn't know his true identity. She may find that no one else can compare to him or evoke the same emotions in her that he evoked. She may feel that it's better to have no romantic relationship than to settle for someone who isn't Solas. That's how I imagine my Lavellan to be. No real life man is worth all this trouble, but a god is. =)

Edit: And when I say she doesn't move on I don't mean that she's going to be depressed all the time. She's still going to get **** done. She's just not going to fall for another person. Relationships aren't everything anyway. Saving the world is more important.


This is exactly how I headcanon my Lavellan xD

Btw I rolled another elf yesterday t.t Man I am obsessed..

As much as I would love some Solas DLC...I really hope we get something like that mirror in the Black Emporium soon.  I'm so tired of playing a character for several hours and then starting over because her nose or lips bother me.

Only if Ariane and Finn end up together this time.

 

He has a hunchback. And Shartan has had a hunchback in every one of those mosaics I've seen.

 

Where are they coming from, btw?

 

Late on this but the tiles/tapestries are from World of Thedas. I'm 99.9% certain the guy in yellow is Havard. The tapestries are in order, telling Andraste's story and the last one is Havard carrying the ashes. The person behind her in the post you responded to is almost certainly Shartan.

Maybe, but I don't lilke to read that much. Unfortunatly, if you're talking sexual fantasies I can't relate since I'm Ace. I actually like the absance of a sex scene in the solas romance, personally. But I'm sad for the peope who wanted one.

 

It doesn't have to be sexual. Think about your beliefs, your values, your desires (any desire). =)

And yet he can be redeemed if you convince him to sacrifice himself. I'm not saying right-before-Origins Zathrian would be ideal as a companion, but there is a long period of time where he's just being a Keeper and not worrying about werewolves around the corner. He's compassionate (see Lanya), protective, and takes a for-the-good-of-many approach for the most part. Revenge totally poisoned his soul over time, I agree. And that's not cool. He wasn't just stomping around Ferelden killing humans and railing at injustices for X number of years, though.

 

Solas avoids getting in too deep with anyone to avoid complications when trying to reach his goals and totally leaves Lavellan out in the cold when it hits that point. He magics Cole's memory to hide his identity/intentions. He probably has Mythal's power voluntarily, but he's also (as far as we can tell) very intent on completing whatever inner quest he's on. In his youth, he may not have been as nice and empathetic a person as he is now. Cocky. Willing to fight anyone. Maybe not very empathetic and more selfish than we see him now. He still has lots of preconceived notions about other races that, if he had been awake all these years, might have festered to actual racism and hate. He could have ended up a bitter man, but didn't. Zathrian didn't start a bitter man, he just ended up like that.

I would rather have a choice of Lavellan and Solas being together than not. I know some people like the tragic sad endings but not everybody does. If it takes Solas to lose his powers to be with my Lavellan that is okay by me. With what he's gone through for centuries he deserves some sort of happy ending as does my Lavellan.

 

Happy endings is my kind of thing.  :P  

 

Agreed.  Usually I'm playing a game so that I can /get/ a concrete, happy ending.  I DON'T NEED IT TO SIMULATE REAL LIFE /THAT/ CLOSELY.  Certainly I don't need it to haunt my very dreams.

You have to have the textures up fairly high. He isn't super freckly, but he's got a few right on the tops of his cheeks and nose. 

 

Actually, there's a gif two pages back that you can see it really clearly on.

Hehe, I see your point which is why I made him human at first. But to play devil's advocate, you can also say that Cole will lose potential because he could have been the greatest compassion spirit ever, but he can't because his abilities have been diluted with other stuff if he becomes more human. It's like if someone's natural talent is to be the best piano player, but he doesn't get to be that because he has to spend a lot of time making ends meet, learning math whatever else humans have to do. Either way there is an opportunity cost.


But are there better compassion spirits? Can spirits really be all that unique or is just the circumstances that change them? Could any justice spirit have become Justice or any compassion spirit become Cole?
Humans are naturally unique and individual because of our genetic make up and then our lives and experiences shape us. Spirits don't really have that. They're simplistic and don't seem to hold on to things. (Cole does, but only because of his contact with humanity)
