I couldn't say yet what my Lavellan would do because I need to understand more of what Solas is doing, and also who she is, if there's a chance they'd have a life together if she could access Uthenera or something like it. She shares enough of his goals and personality that she would want to help him, I think. Let's face it, he needs someone to balance out his extreme idealism. His pride IS his downfall. If he can mediate his pride enough to allow someone to share his goals, I think he would actually have a shot at achieving something good with less destructive consequences than when he acts alone. So I guess I'm optimistic in that I hope there's a path ahead that's good both for them and Thedas, the elves of Thedas particularly.

 

Not that it would not be devastating to learn that he deceived her and helped cause the Breach. That's a lot to swallow even apart from the whole "you're my childhood bogeyman" thing.

I'm happy to have a new prog in each DA game it means we can explore new areas and characters without BW carrying over too much baggage from previous games.

 

If Hawke had been the Inquisitor I couldn't romance anyone new because she's committed to Fenris or heartbroken about killing Anders. Why Hawke's LI wasn't with them in DAI ranged from 'yeah okay I buy that' to character assassination imagine all the lame handwaving that would have to go into not just getting rid of your previous companions but also your fighting ability being reset to level 1.

By truth

 

do you mean like the whole truth, the "Oops i sorta maybe did this to ur people then I went to sleep forever ahah :)" because I'm 50% she'd be pissed about THAT

 

I don't know, I mean we are using Knight Enchanter's theory in this thread right?  I mean with that theory, my Lavellan would understand, sympathize

I don't know, They handled Shepherd pretty well. I never felt "weak" doing it, and It could be in a similar situation with your Romances spread over the ME Games. But I'd just feel comfortable at-least with ONE other game with the Inky in it?

Guys, I feel optimistic about the future of dragon age. Yes, this game has some problems and it's not perfect, but it's clear that they are going back to making games that take a lot of time and effort instead of the 2 year DA2 development period. I think now that they are used to the frostbite engine and have a bunch of plot + resources in place, they can really spend their time on making a perfect game. It's going to be years from now, but I'm excited for DA4. I am imagining a big and beautiful world like the one we have in DAI, a longer core story that is better integrated with the world, and better pc controls now that they don't have to worry about the first gen console folks. I also imagine lots of Solas (and hopefully Lavellan next to him).

In the first couple of weeks that DAI came out I was panicking that they weren't selling enough. The Dragon Age series has become my series of choice. It looks like they are doing very well. Also, I wouldn't mind if the PC in the next game would be the Inquisitor.

That depends entirely on what the other part of his explanation would be. "I'm the Dread Wolf and..." If the and part is something crazy, well, she'd not be very cool about this development. 

 

I think my Lavellan has gone through stages with Solas. When she first met him, she probably assumed he had experienced some sort of trauma in the past and didn't want to talk about it. So she respected that, and assumed it would come up in the future. Elves in Thedas don't live happy lives. The game goes on, they get closer. At that point, she probably assumed there was more going on. That he might have been something more than just an elf. After the temple of Mythal, she felt pretty damn certain he was an ancient elf. But she still hasn't quite made the jump to something more than that. 

 

Its hard to say how she'd take it. She's a bit temperamental, and she's a proud Dalish. Even if she's slowly lost her faith throughout the course of the game, and realizes the world is far larger than she ever expected...I think she would still have to vent. At first. Then, she'd be willing to listen it out. A part of her wouldn't be that surprised. She's already seen so much craziness that at this point, I think she half expects everyone she knows to be involved in some sort of large overarching conspiracy. 

 

But she is a thoughtful woman. It would change their relationship, but not necessarily in a bad way. She would probably be a bit less soft edged with him. More willing to argue, now that she knows what she's dealing with.

Did I miss "gush over lizasaurus' art" time?

 

Too bad, I'm doing it anyways!

 

If that became a mod I would be SO jealous of people who play on PC because I'd kill to have my Lavellan wear something like that! The designs are absolutely amazing!

Question for everyone:

 

If Solas had told her the truth, about why he couldn't stay, couldn't be with her....what would your Lavellan do? 

 

Politically?  Romance/emotionally?  Would she tell other? Keep the secret?  I'm curious what people think.

 

Mine would understand, but move forward.  She would seek to restore Elven society, or at least dispel some of the myths and inaccuracies held by the dalish, and she would be open to learning and working with Solas in the future.....but she would understand their romance was over (except for the occasional fade romp perhaps)

 

I don't think she would tell anyone else...yet...maybe Varric.  I don't think she would love another either.

I don't think my Lavellan will mind the Fen'Harel thing since everything she has learned throughout Inquisition has shown her that the Dalish are not right about everything. It's his future actions she would worry about. I'm not subscribing to any particular theories right now, so it's hard to say. If whatever he's planning with help the elves and isn't destructive in the sense that everyone in modern Thedas would burn then my Lavellan might want to help him. She is politically motivated to help the elves among others. As for the relationship, it will never be over! And I don't think either my Lavellan or Solas would be okay with just Fade romps. They're all or nothing people (and I want all please). I don't see any reason why the relationship would have to be over if the truth was out and she accepted it. If he wanted to focus on his goals she might give him a break, though...maybe. Mine would probably keep things a secret unless Solas gave the okay. Though, she did tell Varric about Cassandra's guilty pleasure...

I am also one who wants another game for Inky. Unless they can make adequate DLC to make the story feel more complete (most importantly Solas DLC). I'd be annoyed, however, if they made a new protagonist and just decided to off the Inquisitor to simplify things. Since we're moving out of southern Thedas they don't really have to do anything to the Inquisitor. Perhaps they'll be busy dealing with things in Orlais and Ferelden. Who knows if they have the time or power to interfere in places like the Anderfels or Tevinter or wherever we're going.

Honestly, I would really have to know explicitly why he can't be with Lavellan. I just don't have enough information to make a decision like that. We have so much speculation as to what he plans to do, but none of it is solid facts.

Also, I just can't wrap my mind around what he has to do that he must do ALONE. I must know!

My canon Lavellan is ridiculously open minded, she verges on eccentric, when she met Flemythal she picked the dialogue option which pretty much amounted to "O hai!", was not phased at all and I'm so glad we got that option.  I think she'll be fine with the Dread Wolf thing.

Never hurts to buy a second copy. I did that with mass effect series. Though I waited for sales.

I think it entirely depends on what he plans to do.  If he plans on going all "New World Order" on everything, she would have to stop him.  She would tell Cassandra but maybe leave certain things out depending on what Solas reveals about who he is, what he's done(like she may leave out the part about the orb and Corypheus), and what he plans.   She wouldn't be mad...or sad. The story about the elven gods are really only myths to her.  Like if Judas came running down the street at me I wouldn't immediately want to bash him over the head(I am NOT saying Christianity is a myth). But she's so far removed from that time and so much has happened to elves that was NOT his doing - humans/Tevinter/elves all had their part to play - that she can't be mad at him for a mistake he made over 1k years ago that she has no real context of.

 

If it's over over - like we never have to deal with him again(which I highly doubt) then she would move on.  I think over time - she would start to doubt what they had was real and doubt she ever really knew him so  that would sort of poison her memories.  No Fade Romps.  It's all or nothing.  You can't invade my head when you feel bad.  Solas would know this about her though and would respect that.

 

SIDENOTE: I have this HORRIBLE headcanon where Lavellan ends up having to kill him. Ugh. I would be gutted.  I hope it doesn't come down to that.

Today's my last day of vacation so I'm feeling the hurt even worse...def don't want to go back to the real world tomorrow and it doesn't help my my elvhen god boyfriend dumped me without explanation a day ago. So I made a mage Trevelyan and I'm planning on being a bit antagonistic with Solas just so I can get a little angry at him because oh man he's got it coming for what he did to Lavellan. Yeah, yeah, I know he's got that whole "I've been alive for thousands of years and they all sucked so bad because MISTAKES WERE MADE and my soul is tortured" thing. But Trevelyan doesn't know that, so she is free to SPREAD THE HURT BABY. SPREAD IT ON LIKE BUTTA.

It'd be like meeting Mythal.

 

"Oh, you're obviously human, kind of threatening, and you kidnapped my ally's child...but it really is nice to meet you!"

 

Except with more baggage because of the whole "Dalish boogeyman" thing.

Maybe I misunderstood, but after that interview with Weekes, I sorta came away with the idea that the main reason he decided he couldn't stay with her is actually because he didn't tell her the truth. I think if he had confessed it all, she'd have had the option to remain at his side. (Or shove him into the lake, because Bioware.)

 

My poor Tiger Festival will never love another, though. If she absolutely has to live without Solas, she will not be happy about it. Eventually she will be less unhappy, but I think its a pretty deep wound he's dealt her and it'll leave a nasty scar. I could see her throwing herself into her Inquisitorial duties to keep her focus, and while what happened won't affect her abilities, and she's not the sort to sit in a corner and bawl, her friends will notice that she's not the same without him.

 

As for if she'd tell anyone, I doubt she would. It's his secret to keep, and she would never break his trust. Besides, who would believe her?

Solas Artifact Search Update: I have now found and cataloged both artifacts in the Hissing Wastes and both artifacts in The Forbidden Oasis. That now wraps up absolutely ALL of the elven artifacts in the game. Once I get the screenshots uploaded, I'll make a nice, comprehensive post recapping everything and link it in here. That will be my evening project tonight. :)

 

But for now, I'm moving forward with "What Pride Had Wrought". I can't put my first real live playthrough of it off any longer. I have slayed all 10 high dragons (although the trophy/achievement didn't unlock  <_< ), solved all Astrariums, found all the Shards and unlocked the inner sanctum of the Solasan Temple, found all landmarks in all regions, done all companion quests, completed all side quests in all regions, done everything the War Table has to offer... other than pulling my hair out to find the last few mosaic pieces and bottles I'm missing from my completionist playthrough collection, there's nothing left for it but to move forward.

 

Oh, Creators, hold me.  :crying:

I think it's a good thing  that he kept the truth to himself , not because he thinks that Lavellan can't handle it, would do something irrational, but because it's something that must stay hidden. Solas strikes me as someone that very much appreciates subtle actions. It's also how operates , it's in his magic too. He's never in your face, never flashy. It matter little that his real name is Fen'Harel, otherwise known as the Dread Wolf, what matters most is where he would go, what would he do. I suspect he fears confusion , mixing myth with reality. He is a man on a mission, and some information must be kept secret fot the sake of that mission.

For the most part the continuing story aspect was handled well in ME and I hope they do something similar with our new Shepard in ME4 onward but I guess I just have different expectations for DA games. I like that they're more or less standalones set in one universe.  

 

Playing the Inquisitor is fun and I've got high hopes for the DLCs but I'm also looking forward to meeting the pc in DA4.

Based on when story DLC was released for Origins/DA2/Mass Effect 2 & 3, I'm guessing 3-4 months out from release for anything with a substantial story to it. We already know that the first DLC is going to be Xbox-exclusive for some period of time, but not what it'll be. (If it continues the storyline and is locked to Xbox only for a month like Skyrim's DLC, I will be SO PISSED. Friggin' console deals argh. )
