Hey, question y'all.
Right after we cause that avalanche in Haven and make our way out of the cave, if you look right you see an orange glow that I assume to be fire.
Is that Haven, or campfires of the Inquisition camp? I think it's Haven, but I'm not sure if that tunnel was terribly long...the fade in and out to black makes me think it was a fairly long trek, but I am not positive.
So what you're saying is that we've driven them to blood magic.
Back to Solas, did anyone notice that the wolf in the Dalish warrior/rogue card is being shot up by arrows? From a bow facing down in the same way the bow in Andruil's mosaic appears? I completely missed it before:
Spoiler
That's such an interesting find.
The wolf also has vallaslin. I wonder if it's simply a representation of the Dalish Inquisitor or referring to another 'wolf' entirely. If Fen'Harel was a slave, that would explain the rebellion and uprising.
The theory sounds like Andraste all over again, except that this time the bride is a male. ;p
Or it could be, as people mentioned, that the use of the mask was what awoke Fen'Harel in the first place. It did require blood magic to fulfill the ritual.
Did the miniseries actually say what they were attempting to do with it? What was their endgame?
Not really? I wasn't able to watch all of it because I don't think it's very good, but the sareebas (sp?) thanks Fen'Harel for the "tools" that he's being given, and then there's something about getting a lot of power. A rift opens up too but it closes when the mask is destroyed.
The whole series is weird and full of little errors. I find it super-odd that the Mask would even need elven blood magic to activate, since Fen'Harel doesn't practice blood magic. Most of the stuff with the Qunari is off-key. If Redemption is canon, it's canon in the way that Dalish legends are >.>
Hopefully they won't feel as stressed when we go north. I'm sure a few decisions down south will matter and a few people will matter, but they can probably get away with a few dialogue references for the most part. It would be tough trying to implement the Orlais ruler choice and Divine choice in a meaningful way.
They did get to pick what decisions to keep when they implemented the Keep. Hopefully they have a better idea of how to structure everything to give players enough choice to feel satisfied and not feel overwhelmed by the infinite possibilities. There weren't as many big results in DAI either. The mages end up about the same either way (the revolution ends, they're either in the College or in the Circle), same with the Templars, Seekers, etc. They're all sort of rebuilding. I think the choice of Divine is the biggest one in the game in terms of possible wide-reaching effects (aside from romancing Solas amiright).
If anyone is interested, David Gaider poster an explanation of the "almost rape" scene. It has nothing to do with Solas - thank...the maker? the creators? Thank someone.

My next reference will be meaningful only if some of you read Howl's Moving Castle, but... do you remember a scene where Sophie and Michael try to decipher a spell, left by Howl as a homework for Michael? The same stream of wild ideas and guesses

Here's hoping romancing Solas turns out to be a big decision. But I'd say the ruler of Orlais may have big implications, especially if it's Briala (still wonder if the Eluvian thing will become important). Though things will probably change for elves anyways considering what may happen next.
I wish we'd go to Solas for the inevitable story DLC, which hopefully has him involved.
The location, not the actual person. Or maybe we'd meet him there too. That's preferable. 
I'm seriously so interested in that place, can't be a coincidence.

I thought that was the case. The original post this one followed up said that the scene was intentionally creepy so I didn't think it had anything to do with a romance scene. It sounded more "main plot" related anyways, and this is the creepiest plot in the game in my opinion. I'm glad they took that out though, because it really does sound gross. Especially since Leliana is typically my canon romance in Origins...

I WAS RIGHT
Envy demon made me go
I finally caught up. I went back to sleep this morning because I was sicker than a pig in a prom dress dancing the Charleston with a starving butcher.
Lots of interesting stuffs to go over. Like Sashimi's ideas on Solas and Mythal being bff. The designer notes do say that he's her oldest friend. I like to think of them having a relationship somewhat like Leliana's and the Divine's where he's her friend, mother, etc. I also like the idea of Andruil and Ghilan'nain being lovers.And Felassan's story being a fib not that I just like the idea of Andruil not being interested in all because I'm jealous for my Lavellan or anything.
On Sera being Andruil/hosting Andruil...I don't know. It seems far fetched. Then again Solas and Flemeth seem far fetched. I think she has innate magic, but I think all elves do. I though Solas was just trying to bring out the magical qualities of elfyness in Sera, or perhaps trying to test them. I don't know that it is or needs to be anything more than that.

I think it's meant to be the little campfires that you find as you walk through the snow. They're there as a guide to show you which way to go. The first one is cold when you reach it but there's one just before you reach the camp that is still warm. I always thought they were meant to indicate that you were trying to follow the trail that you'd sent the rest of the people along earlier.

Alright. It just looked so large, I assumed. 
This has probably been talked about before but...
Where is this supposed to be? it's not anywhere else in the game and it has both their statues in it. Was it their shared elluvian? I feel like this confirms that they were like BFF.
I like the idea that Mythal and Solas were/are best friends.
[Images of mythal and fen'harel doing best friend stuff enter my mind]
It also confirms my idea that mythal being killed was the catalyst for Fen'Harel to put his foot down and do all the stuff to stop slavery and the wars.
Lady Insanity did a video on it and claims that it is the cross roads. She used a free cam. I saw the video and wasn't so convinced.
I am way behind.

So many people wanted her to be a romance in DAI that I think the fic and fancanon would've gotten really weird, really quickly as well. I'm glad they took it out. I'm also glad it wasn't romance related so no one has to feel like their LI was once "rapey".

Sera is a good character. But she'll break up with you if you don't renounce your Dalish faith...Solas is fine if you keep the vallaslin (probably since that wasn't what he wanted to talk about anyway). I'm sure you already knew that and that's why you posted it just.... *sigh*
Solas doesn't...mock your beliefs like Sera does, though. He actually goes to the Inquisitor and asks if he is wrong. It's like what we discussed earlier, though.

Granted she makes good points about it all. "If you want to be angry about it, be angry. Be a terror so they'll never forget it." (paraphrase)
Still haven't quite forgiven her for laughing at Terrwyn for the vallaslin, though. 8[ Next time I'll just tell her to mind her own beeswax.

I would have liked it more if the 'transition to mind' section had been done in a more subtle way, without the player knowing right away. Although, I am glad the whole Lelianna part has been cut.

It's like they don't even know the details of the Solas romance aside from the fact that there is a scene where the vallaslin can be removed. I don't mind that people don't like Solas, but it's my pet peeve when they say things factually wrong. I don't even like Sera that much (it's love/hate and I flip flop) and I get annoyed when people say things factually wrong about her (like she made fun of Quizzy for removing the vallaslin, that's not what that conversation was).
There's always going to be a certain contingent of fans [on all sides] that feel the best way of supporting their romance option is to attack others. Unfortunately Sera does tend to get a lot of flack, so its not too surprising that some fans may have taken to being aggressive in response.
Best thing to do is not be apart of it on either side.
Fandom is notorious for being crueler to female characters than male characters. I don't agree with the comparison but I understand the frustration that spawned it.
I am noticing the Sera Vs Solas fan competition and it's really quite childish. *shakes head*

I've noticed it too. I guess it's not that shocking but it's still annoying. I feel like people decide that if their favorite character doesn't like another character, then they as their fans must dislike that character too. Reminds me of all the Fenris vs Anders silliness there used to be.
I'm not a Sera fan but it doesn't have much to do with Solas. I don't like her that much but I don't hate her or anything. I've never hated a BioWare companion. The idea of hating a character over your favorite character is just strange.

There's an actual competition? Whyyyyyy?
And Solas and Sera not liking each other...I don't think that's true? They don't get along, but it's more like a bratty youngster and an old fart not getting along rather than two people not liking each other?
