Because Photobucket's better than nothing:

 

 

Numinera

Spoiler

 

 

And Uth'shiral, the kinder, sweeter one (who also appears in my fic, although her fic-story and the story I headcanon for Game!Uth'shiral don't really match up...

Spoiler

I love Uth'shiral's eyes!! So pretty!

I'm creating a Twitter account, solely for this purpose.

 

EDIT BECAUSE I NEED A DRINK...

 

I SOS'd PW, and it felt so right.

 

The end.

Hmm... I swear I heard this in Redcliffe. Wonder what Mythal is up to. [Was not post game though.] 

Really? Never heard it in Redcliffe, and not before the battle

They were much brighter outside of the Fade, too.  Very very violet, and huge.  She tends to look shy in a lot of cut scenes and I wish I'd made screenshots of her from the beginning so I could prove that.  I can replay her, though; I have a tutorial-save, I think.

I ate 13 pieces if sushi and a soft shell crab. It feels oddly like Solas induced heartbreak.

I stuffed myself with chicken wings and tiny sausages... and the night is still young, folks.

I wanted to share a picture of my new Lavellan with you all.  Her name is Atisha..which means peace.  My Lavellan before her had the same name but she had red hair.  I like the pale blond hair better.  I imagine her being a white wolf and Solas being a black wolf. Much like what Brass_Buckles was saying about her character.

Yours is super, super pretty.  Numinera was meant to look more feral, though I think the result in hindsight is that she looks sort of like a little boy or something!  But it's okay 'cause I still got her gold, wolfy-looking narrow eyes going on.

 

Maybe Harellan should be fox-themed.  That'd be fun.

I ate an unhealthy amount of chocolate at work this afternoon, and am now washing it down with pizza rolls and far too much Jack Daniels and Coke.

 

Goddammit, Solas.

I'm on the late train, but this is my quick attempt to recreate the Dalish Tarot card. You can get the nose to look like hers, but obviously no green skin lol. The tattoo in the album is the closest as far as design goes. Many of the others feature sharper angles, or don't obviously fit the theme (Mythal, that one just over the eye, etc.).

The hair is kind of the tricky part since there's a.) no long hair and b.) nothing that really fits, so I went with the ponytail and the longer side part.

I'm still not sure about skin color, but went with the yellow tinted since that's the closest to green, and just made up for it with the Vallaslin. Light pink or white hardly shows up on a non-tan skin so wouldn't get the benefit of showing off the lines and dots.

<edit> I also took screenshots of the sliders if anyone wants to play with those. I'm not very confident in the jawline or the chin, but it's close? It's hard to get the rounded jaw/face shape that the Tarot card shows without sacrificing some of the...lithe gracefulness (I guess) that a longer face has.

And I took that part where he says that he doesn't write villains well as a big OOPS because of all the love Solas is getting.  I don't think Mr. Weekes sees Solas as a villain, but he's not the only one writing the Dragon Age story.

As I said on the Witcher boards, DA has always had big bads and then a more middle road antagonist who is redeemable, like Loghain and Anders. You could even call them alternate protagonists in a sense. I know I certainly think of Loghain that way, even though DA2 and many players would consider him a villain.

And I love my bad boys, so it's just fine with me if Solas fits into this category- as I think he easily could. Assuming it's executed well.

Thank you!!  I think Numinera sounds cute!

So much agreement.

 

Says the woman with an incredibly large amount of affection for Loghain and Anders/Justice.

[Brass_Buckles]

Thank you!!  I think Numinera looks cute! 

 

I haven't decided how I feel about how she looks, I was making her based on the thought of "white wolf, feral."  Uth'shiral I was just tweaking until I came up with a face I liked.  She turned out to be truly adorable.  I wanted to hug her in some cut scenes and I am not even a hugger.

 

And then Solas broke Uth'shiral's heart.  I could have decked him.  How dare he?  She's adorable!  Those huge sad puppy eyes!

[NeverlandHunter]

Dragon Age language.
 
Numin = Tears
 
Era = story/tale
 
Uth = eternal/forever (as in uthenera)
 
Shiral = journey (Dareth shiral)

Haha, that's awesome I don't pay enough attention to the elven language in DA. A decision I regretted when Solas is spewing out elven left and right and I'm like..."what the heck did he just say!?"

Most of the words are translated on a wikia page somewhere, at least the words we know.

[Mims]

One other thing to muse upon- if Solas was willing to tell her who he is and what his plans were...then his plans must not be completely crazy. Like, he's a logical guy. If he considered it, he had to think she might at least be willing to listen. 

[BubbleDncr]

You've seen the bearded lady! You've seen the ring of fire! now ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes upon solas's booty!

 

- From cards against Solas

[Addai]

I don't think they'll do exactly the same thing as they did with Mordin. I happen to like the comparison because Mordin was one of bioware's best characters, and while tragic, his death was not a depressing one. You felt he had accomplished what he wanted. There was no regret. I imagine that whatever end Solas will have, it will fit him.

Solas and Solus [hur] have similar motivations and regrets. But they are fairly different characters. Mordin was not so emotionally wounded or arrogant as Solas is. I don't think he feared things like dying alone or having others not see him for who he was. [In fact, if anything Mordin grew to detest being lauded for his other accomplishments.] Mordin was an older fellow. He had a ton of regrets, but he'd worked out the rawer emotional bits.

I'd love to see a better comparison between the two once we have seen a better picture of Solas's arc. One mirror between them I do like is that Mordin is a very short lived character. For a salarian, he was an older man at 40. Nearing the end of his life. Solas has had thousands of years and he's still working through these problems.

No idea what PW was thinking- probably that Solas is the type of character who's trying to right a wrong he created and is conflicted about it. The reason I compared him to Mordin is because I had the same slack-jawed reaction to his dialogue as I did to Mordin talking in the hospital in ME2, where he's telling you his reasons and regrets about the genophage. I don't even remember exactly what it was except I was thinking "don't stop talking, I'm not done thinking yet." Solas' dialogue is the same.

Only other Bioware character that was like that for me was Sten, when I finally unlocked some of his "secret" dialogues. Which was on my 5th or 6th playthrough and with a blood mage, no less. He doesn't say two words normally and then all of a sudden he just quietly goes off on this long philosophical explanation and my jaw hits the keyboard.

Is it possible to make a lavallen that looks like the one on the tarot card?

Not really, but this was my attempt at a tarot card Lavellan:

 

I kinda wish I'd taken screenshots of all the sliders now. Boo.

[Mims]

That is a really nice Lavellan!

 

I hope they bring up a mirror feature soon. If only because I rather like my character, and I have no idea how to recreate her. I need those sliders.

Am I the only one that actually feels a little more hopeful after the interview? I remember a discussion that happened the other day where someone said that the truth would probably never come directly from him and most seemed to agree, yet we just found out that Solas was a pinch of salt away from actually ripping open the bag of cats. I actually hadn't realized he was that close, and finding out makes Solas feel a little less out of reach.

The images you put in my head, lol.  The milkshakes yesterday.  Now ripping open bags of cats.  Ahhh

I'm hopeful! I'm the one who said he'd never tell the truth, I think. So I happily concede to being wrong about that. [Well, sort of. He did abandon ship, but the motivation was different.] 

 

In fact, I'm pretty thrilled by all of it and more optimistic than ever. But I suppose I am happy with just about anything so I might be a bad test pool.

This is my hope as well.

 

I was pondering something this morning, whilst getting ready for work, and never posted it because by the time I got a chance to, we were all in chaos from the interview today.

 

But remember back to the very beginning of Cole's personal quest? Before choosing to make him more spirit/more human. Before even doing the War Table operation to try and get a Rivani spirit necklace for him. The scene in the Skyhold courtyard where he is arguing with Solas. The argument is because Cole wants Solas to bind him to him.

 

I did not think on this much at the time. But reflecting back now, think about it. Cole was at his most vulnerable: unsure of himself, riding a very thin line between spirit and demon. He's seen us fight bad mages and is frightened one might bind him and force him to do bad things, making him a demon and forever losing himself. He has many mages to choose from to ask this favor... Vivienne (well, not really), Dorian, or Fiona or any of the other mages if you chose to take them in... but he comes to SOLAS to beg for a binding. 

 

Now, he KNOWS who and what Solas actually is, going by the banter you get as you go along through the game. The fact that he comes to Solas, begging to be bound to his will - specifically because he trusts him and knows he won't make him do bad things to people - speaks volumes.

 

Not so much in general because we see Solas's heart and compassion with the Hinterlands refugees and such. But in general, a Spirit of Compassion on the precipice of breaking comes to HIM asking to be bound because he trusts him.

 

That's just. Wow. You know?

 

Or maybe it's just the whiskey starting to talk to me...
