Ugh, I know, me too! There are so may cutscenes and other content I don't want to lose. I have a ton of save games on my Lavellan playthrough.

 

Mostly they're to re-watch the Solas bits, but I also adore the Cassandra/Varric romance novel scene. Especially now. When Varric implies something has happened to the main character and Cass gasps and is all "Nothing should happen to her" in total fangirl mode? That is how I feel about Solas now. :) Every single freaking hint they give about future content involving him is going to be torture.

 

That scene, and some of their banter made me totally ship those too... Cassxvarric FTW

Wow, those gown designs are amazing. The second one would look so good on my Inquisitor.

I was just going through all the old trailers to DAI and you see Solas at 0:23.

 



I think that he is in the dungeon in Haven examining the Inquisitor's mark/hand and Leliana and Cass are coming to check on his progress.

 

Seeing this reminds me of something...

 

Do we ever see Cullens Lion helmet ingame?

So I've been lurking this thread since... forever. But I decided to finally flit in out of the woodwork because of this:

While I can't tell you how Solas would react to that exactly - I DID decide to show you all how badass this would have been as a Halamshiral ball gown with a couple world-appropriate tweaks and a +30% to Dalish Origin enchantment. I may or may not have totally whipped this out just for you, poster of amazing dress. (The answer is yes.) I couldn't decide on a color palette, so you guys got three. Herald-Green, Inquisitor-Purple, and Calpernia-Black.

Also, seeing as I've never used BSN before this exact moment, if I formatted things wrong or something, just let me know and I'll fix it. You can see them on my tumblr here if you'd prefer.

I guess what really intrigued me about the original dress was it’s reliance upon owls and feathers as a visual motif, something Dragon Age: Inquisition does a hell of a lot of. Capture a keep? Owls. Move into Skyhold? Owls. Going to bed in Skyhold? Owls. Do a Secrets mission? Owls. Walk around Emerald Graves? Owls. Walk around Exalted Plains? Owls. As a lore-motif you’ve got… Andruil’s messenger? Owl. Guide of Falon’din? Owl. Tenebrium constellation? Owl. Terrifying ancient omen of loss? You guessed it, owl. And it’s literally almost everywhere your Inquisitor goes/ touches. So there’s that, guys. Have fun with that thought as you cry into your post-Solas romance pint of ice cream. I certainly have.

I know some people would claim the Andruil-Falon'din owl discrepency to be a writer error, but I honestly believe it to be a clue hidden in a perceived fault/ redundancy. Repetition is usually given to things of great importance both in art, literature, and film. Just something I've been mulling around and been to afraid to share previously.

Now I'm going to go hide because oh my god you people are amazing and I haunt this thread like you don't even know.


Welcome!

I can already tell I like you because 1. You do amazing art. 2. Appreciation for high fashion. 3. You use good grammar and appropriate sentence structure. 4. You like Solas.

I hope you stop lurking!

*claps* This is absolutely beautiful!  :wub:  I really wish Lavellan wore a gown to Halamshiral! (I know not everyone wants their PCs to wear one but I personally wanted her to wear a gown and was sad that the chance didn't happen.)

 

-----------------

 

Was this posted before? Pretty sad. :(

We don't! I wonder if they had him in the Lion's Helmet to hide who it was. There are quite a few scenes in the trailers that don't appear in-game.

I kind of wish they would've done female versions for the trailers.

Have you seen this fan-made one? I think it uses both the male and female Inquisitor at times and holy crap the music! It gave me chills.

Okay, I know many people have done this and everyone has already seen the scene multiple times. But I put together my compilation of all of the options (Inquisitor breaking up with Solas instead of vice versa is in a different video) as well as my canon and I can't help sharing. Hope you don't mind too much!

I think I followed like ten new tumblrs yesterday.

If any of you have one link!

I also wish I could draw. I would never stop drawing my Inquisitor's and their lovers in compromising positions.

I've seen that before. Yes, it's an amazing fan-made trailer! I got chills too, watching this.

I recommend to people who haven't seen this trailer to please see it now.  ;)

This thread makes me want to crack a hand at drawing Solas and or my Inky.

 

You are all so talented. Like, holy wow, that is really gorgeous.

Oh my goodness, you are perfect and these are gorgeous! My Lavellan would absolutely 100% wear this to Halamshiral! Now if only we could get it in the game...  :wub:

 

 

EDIT: Okay, sorry, I just kind of lost it from the awesome art there. Here's something a little more coherent.  :D

 

Interesting thing about the repetition. It could be a hint at what the culture was like long ago in the Dales. Wolf statues are associated with Fen'Harel, owl statues are associated with Falon'Din (is it associated with Falon'Din? someone correct me if I'm wrong). Statues don't just erect themselves - the elves of old put them there for a reason.

 

From this, we can assume from this that they were big players of whatever happened before. Something definitely went on between the two long ago... and that it could still persist today. Were they friends? Were they rivals? Will we see Falon'Din in the near future? Only time will tell.

And yep, owls everywhere, just like wolves. They're definately hinting at something.

Ooooh! This is pretty good as well!  :D

 

You know, looking back, isn't it interesting how Bioware didn't really give Solas much focus on these trailers? For VERY obvious reasons of course.  ;)

 

I mean in terms of companions, they always placed big prominence on Cassandra, Varric, Iron Bull, and Vivienne in the trailers that it just makes me so amused now that the unassuming bald elf turned out to be the character with the biggest role in the story.  :P

No problem! Again, feel free to use it. Maybe just link back to the tumblr post? That's the most I could ask for! The fact you like it is awesome enough.

 

 

Thanks.  If I ever get this thing finished I'll be sure to credit you (currently the fic is in the stage of 'open word doc, read what I've written, stare at screen, close word doc')
