Your modded file is using imporperly saved graphic files. Save them as DXT1 or DXT5 as the original and generate mipmaps. That fixes it

 

Does that work for dds files from other people? I'm using a casual clothing mod that was released in the DAI Modding thread. I saved/exported a texture file in Gimp as dxt5, generated mipmaps, then created a new patch but there are still graphical errors in dungeons.

After a very, VERY steamy Cards Against Humanity game thanks to this Forum, I am off to bed.  Hopefully I have a dream other than one about Solas saving Mars again.

Spoiler

 

Absolutely adorable.  And kinda true... let's hope the "forever" part isn't...

 

Eh, Aveline filled the Wynne part of DAO for me. Judgement and "right" to the point of stupidity.  I blame her for starting the Qunari attacking.

 

If I remember right, wasn't there something to do with elves being in trouble/abused and Aveline did nothing?

 

So, uh, what would happen if Solas had a baby with a regular elven woman? Would he start a new master race of Elvhen?!?!   :ph34r:

 

I keep thinking he and Abelas need to FEEL more responsible in that regard, right? I didn't see any ancient female Sentinels at the Temple of Mythal. (but, maybe that was why. Devs are perhaps saying, "Nope. No new Ancient Elvhen babies coming.)

 

Look closely when the camera pans over them in that scene.  I think some of them were women, other than the guide.  Their armor was so similar that it was hard to tell, but their bodies were very slightly different.

 

I'm pretty sure he's studying her boobs and not her anchor here lolz.

 

In that pic?  Yeah.  He's probably amazed that they don't seem to be affected by gravity while she's lying on her back...

 

It might depend on the Clan, they all know bits and pieces of Elven lore maybe Clan Lavellan has a better grasp on the language? Or as a First you know more of the Clan's knowledge than everyone else?

It would seem that Solas has been doing his Fadewalking (and possibly traveling through the Crossroads) for a very long time. Given the cruel streak that the rest of the pantheon seems to have Fen'Harrel doesn't really seem to fit in, since we haven't really seen any lore that shows him doing anything outwardly evil. From the sound of that dialogue, he's been used to being called a fool and a madman (trickster also fits) for a long time.

As for causes, it very well could be that he was Shartan. The complete Saga of Tyrdda Bright-Axe talks about her "leaf-eared lover" who she "lays with at night, only to disappear in the morning" which given his familiarity with the Fade could be Solas. Although, given that the saga mentions that Tyrdda's bloodline will one day give rise to a child named Morrighan'an and references to "whispers" Tyrdda was most likely the first to host the spark of Mythal that Flemeth (and now possibly Solas) now holds.

 

The Leaf-Eared Lover was a woman.  If an elven god, then... Sylaise?  Andruil?  Ghilan'ain?  Mythal?  Hard to say.

 

 

anyone remembers that second to last line ?

 

0003A635: One day, someone will summarize the terrible events of your life so quickly.
0003A636: 
0003A637: It says, long ago, you left your husband for a lover. Your husband then tricked you, killed your lover, and imprisoned you.
0003A638: I know who Flemeth is.
0003A639: Then a spirit came to offer you vengeance. Mythal—that's what you spoke of.
0003A63A: I know the name "Flemeth." It belongs to an ancient Fereldan legend.
0003A63B: But, yes, I was that woman. That is how my tale began.
0003A63C: I know the name "Flemeth." My people call you Asha'bellanar, the woman of many years, and speak of your legend.
0003ABB1: <i>(Screams.)</i>
0003ABB2: Dareth shiral vhenan! Ara— <i>(Gasps.)</i>
0003ABB3: 
0003ABB4: Fenedhis! Ma halani! Ma halani!
0003C7C7: 
 
Dareth shiral vhenan! Ara— <i>(Gasps.)</i>
 
right after a scream...

 

 

He shouts "Fenedhis!" really anguished-sounding, sometimes, if the Inquisitor falls in battle.  I think the whole line is said then.

 

However, I haven't heard the "Dareth shiral vhenan!  Ara--" line.

 

I get the feeling that Solas is so critical of others because of what he's done in the name of helping his people. He's got Walter Bishop-level guilt. He sealed away a cruel pantheon of gods away only to have his civilization collapse, and then his mistake with the Orb nearly destroyed our world and the Fade.

One thing I've been thinking on is how Patrick Weekes mentioned that Solas is "dedicated to finding the truth". He has a statue (or the Dread Wolf does) inside of the Temple of Mythal, which considering that she's the goddess of justice isn't the kind of place where one would expect to find a representation of a trickster god and Flemythal calls him "old friend". What if Fen'Harrel acted as a kind of soothsayer or for irony's sake, a Seeker of Truth for Mythal?

Truth and Justice are related concepts, and what better way to figure out what's in someone's head than by being able to traipse around the realm of thoughts and dreams? Dread Wolf would be a pretty fitting title for someone who hunts down those who lie to Mythal.

 

Could also be why he's very respectful of Cassandra, if he once held a similar position...

 

Almost makes me wonder if he were Mythal's spymaster, though.

I really like this.

 

The thing that has been bothering me is how his statues appear in many of the God's Temples.  I had been of the notion that he acted in a guardian capacity, but I actually like this better.  If there is one thing that we knew about Solas and Fen'harel is their delicious irony.  It also would give an explanation as to why he was so intent to know where the Inquisition was heading after Corypenis was dealt with. 

 

Also the line "In his own way, he knew Wisdom like no other man."  (or whatever Wisdom says through Cole).  He would have to know Wisdom to parse through information to find the truth.

Never really thought about the parallel of them pulling each other back before. I tend to think of it in terms of Solas trying to walk away. This is beautiful.

This world needs more 'softer Solas/Fen'Harel', so I would be attracted to it. I keep running into the worst things and it has gotten so bad that I'm almost ready to stay away from fics for good.

Mine's gentle ;} and PG13.

my fanfic is really just meant to give people that 'fade to black' and sense of wrapping things up.

Wait a sec,does files are actually real? Does that mean that the one about continuing the romance with Solas is groundwork for future DLC or something? :P

Lol the idea that a solas DLC only works for romance is silly.

1: Solas is intrinsic to the main story. There's no reason he can't be used as a lead in to the next game plot and ALSO have a romance version of that for a herald who romanced him. There are plenty of ways that would wrap up the herald's storyline for the next main character in stories to come, while giving us world states that can pass on consistently the way they've always done. 

2. Merrill is 100% a character who has a dual personality based on your choices with her. I stand by that comment about her. She's sweet and cute only if you seek her approval (which for some playthroughs I did)... and I wouldn't compare her to Solas at all, frankly because she lacks a certain healthy respect for things she does not know of. 

And also this, just to make everyone laugh because I think it sums up most Solas debates now. Lol ;D

I've been exploring with Cole, and all of a sudden he gave me a wild comment like "temple has a lot of keys, they all sing, but never the same song". Weird, huh? *cough*sashimi's theory*cough*

Maybe I am paranoid.

I can't shake the feeling that the Vallaslin are like a god version of Fenris' vint magic markings.

That was the issue. The copy I used was a version behind. I hadn't realized Eham put out a newer version a few days after. My mistake, I should have checked that first. As a bonus I also figured out how to actually merge mods, so that's nice. :)

Wait a sec... aren't the dev notes also in those tables?

 

I have a feeling the "I want Solas back" and "re-enable Solas" comments are a dev's comments and not actual plans or anything. Like those silly notes from earlier.

 

Also, there are so many lines that are out of place and jumbled up, it's hard to tell what order they're supposed to be in or what conversation they're supposed to be a part of sometimes.

Idk what you're looking at but Plz link to source so I can make it big enough to read on my phone. Pretty please!

Never mind just went to Tumblr.

Is that legit?

To be honest I think maybe half the main DLC if not all of it is already done. Maybe some things from future ideas are already in place in the game. Like that creepy effing basement under Sulevin Keep.

 

What creepy basement?  I've explored that Keep and I swear I haven't found anything like that.

Why would he have a horn?
