So, does this imply that he changed her face on a whim?  He didn't plan that at all, and it was just a quick way to cover his a**?  Am I the only one who finds that both bothersome and amusing?

[scintilla]

Here, Solas thread, I think we all need this.

 

[Ajna]

He cried when writing the romance!!!! AHHHHHH!!!  I'm so sad now TT.TT  Is this going to be the first BW romance with no chance of a 'happy' resolution? Noooo, do not want! What do I need to do to make that not happen? On the bright side, it's satisfying to know that a lot of us were right in thinking he went to the last romance scene fully intending to tell her everything.

 

OK so before I wanted Lavellan to find out about Solas' identity on her own. I felt like that would give her power, and she wouldn't be the clueless little elf anymore. But after listening to this interview I kind of want Solas to tell Lavellan himself. I feel like that would be such a big thing for his development. That would be him at his most vulnerable, both because he would actually be trusting Lavellan completely and because he'd be opening himself up to a reaction that would undoubtedly hurt him in some way (If her reaction is negative, it hurts because he doesn't want her to hate him. If her reaction is positive it's almost worse, because then he has to justify hurting her before and leaving her to do whatever it is he needs to do). Revealing his identity and his plans would undoubtedly open things up for Lavellan to contest them, and I feel like he has a lot of doubt about his ideas even though he is 100% committed to them. It would be really hard for him, and I'm sure he knows that.

 

I can't do that, if he's gonna be sad forever I'm done, I can't watch that go down, it would utterly destroy me.

Haha it's more like kicking us while we're down.  

Yea, lol I won't be that guy... maybe There's still karma to go around for us Cass Divine lovers. But at least with that there's a choice.

 

They can always change their mind and throw in a honeypie ending like Morrigan's. Raising little potato head babies in the fade, lol.

'Wait, this is a bad idea. I can't tell her that. ****. Think of something. Think of something...'

No, no you are not the only one. Seriously. Solas, what WERE YOU THINKING?!! 'Quick, keep it together man, think of something anything something anything... Oh, wait, that's right: Vallaslin suck kthxbai'

I just want to grab him by the shoulders and shake some sense and courage into him, damn elf.

It seems like his idea to tell you about the vallaslin's true origins and offer to remove them was definitely an on-the-spot thing. However, you can turn down his offer to remove them, so I don't see how it's very bothersome?

[DragonRacer]

God, I'm actually kinda getting sick to my stomach. My heart hurts.

 

It's amazingly written, yes, but WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE/STAY SAD?

 

*cries forever and everything is pain*

 

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Unbreak my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Uncry these tears
I cried so many nights
Unbreak my heart
My heart

Take back that sad word goodbye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Unbreak my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Uncry these tears
I cried so many nights
Unbreak my heart
My heart
Heart
Umm

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me

Oh
Unbreak my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Uncry these tears
I cried so many, many nights
Oh unbreak my

Unbreak my heart, oh baby
Come back and say you love me
Unbreak my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on

Say that you love
Say that you love
Tell me you love
Unbreak my heart
(Can't go on)
(Woh)
Say that you love
Say that you love
Tell me you love
Unbreak my
Say that you love
Say that you love
Tell me you love
Unbreak my
Say that you love
Say that you love
Tell me

[Roxy]

I'm staying optimistic...

 

 

What Patrick said in the interview doesn't mean it's fully over between Lavellan and Solas. 

 

 

I really want to give Weekes a hug...the poor guy.

[Seregwen]

OMG Ok I'm crying. Thank you Mr. Weekes!!!!! Ughh I hope that his Second apology to the SolasMancers will be getting them back together in a DLC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lorien19]

Wow...That interview was intense! :'(

Excuse me while I make myself some hot cocoa to cope with the feels.

[Batfish]

'Wait, this is a bad idea. I can't tell her that. ****. Think of something. Think of something...'

 

"I have to tell you the truth about...your face"

" >8[ "

"Tattoos! Face...tattoos."

Thank you so much. For the amount of gutpunching sadness I'm feeling this made me laugh. that face. 

>8{ MY FACE.

[MidgetNemo]

To be fair, it isn't like they could spin it any other way than sad with the knowledge we have at the moment. [Except of course, if Solas had been lying about everything.] So the only two directions we can go into is sad or evil. I'll take sad. 

 

Comparing him to Mordin though:

 

Spoiler

Does suggest that he may be on the death=redemption track. Not to terrify anyone, but Mordin's death in the renegade ending is perhaps the most horribly gut wrenching thing Bioware has ever done.

He did live in one ending though, but you had to basically sabotage all his attempts at redeeming himself. 

Yeah the Mordin comparison makes me think that this will all end in tragedy

[Andir]

That interview just made me love Solas and Patrick even more,..which I didn't think was possible. Dammit Weekes, all the feelsuh. (I love the honest answer, "to make it sadder." I am SO HAPPY it got added in because Solas' romance is probably my favorite out of any of the games ever.)

[Nika]

Now I imagine poor Patrick, sitting there, crying

and David sits next to him like

[scintilla]

I mean, technically we'd already guessed all of this, so it's not really new information. It feels final because it's from his writer but it's not like he did (or could) say anything about future plans with the character.

 

How the **** did I get on Team Optimism?

Thats like saying hey dont freak out or anything but theres a giant spider on your back.

It's funny, but I can only imagine it bothered him all along to see her wearing slave markings when his big thing is personal freedom. You can tell because he looks pleased and touched if she asks him to remove them.

That is exciting! 

[slmisfit]

It's just a comparison though. That doesn't mean they're going to turn out exactly the same. (And remember, Mordin doesn't actually have to die.)

[kalasaurus]

It's more amusing than bothersome, but it's a pretty big thing (her appearance and culture) to just drop on her on a whim as a cover-up.  The vallaslin removal scene loses its significance in a way after knowing that.

[Batfish]

Gonna try to stay optimistic. I mean, Morrigan got her closure so...Hopefully Solas won't be the one character that absolutely cannot have a happy ending. I want to make cookies and pass them out to everyone. Everyone who comes in now gets a blanket and a cookie. 

[BoscoBread]

Patrick can't reveal what's coming - even the hint of what's coming and that's including feelings.  We know the romance is sad as it is and he wrote it to make it sad. The guy breaks up with you.  The relationship is written in such a way that it's SO CLEAR that Solas is in love with the player.  You know through the game that he's not a bad guy, he's thoughtful.  He's not malacious.  His banters are so key into understanding how he feels about the world.  So he's also a sympathetic character.  It's also apparent he wants to tell her - Ithat was clear in the game - that's why the romance  is sad.  We know this.  We know this is a sad romance...as it stands now.   It doesn't mean it won't be in the future.  So be optimistic.  Buff killed Angel and it all worked out

Not sabotage just...postpone. He can cure the genophage later when the galaxy isn't recovering from a mass invasion from god-like supercomputers.

 

 

 

I can't do that, if he's gonna be sad forever I'm done, I can't watch that go down, it would utterly destroy me.

 

Yeah I wouldn't be happy with it. Not that my unhappiness there means it won't happen...but I agree.

 

 

 

On a related note. Everyone wants Solas back:

 

[Eivuwan]

It's funny how awkward Weekes was when he was asked about the Solas romance. He was hesitant and sounded almost guilty haha. That's what Solas would be like except 10x more awkward if Lavellan finds him again.
