I was joking, sorry didn't mean to ruffle everyone's feathers. I love solas and his romance!  So please put away the pitch forks and torches 

[Birdy]

It's very frustrating, no? The devs seemed surprised to learn the Dalish Inquisitor gives that response, so it might be a bug or a glitch.

 

I don't know why, but when Morrigan says, "I believe we are at the Temple of Mythal," my Lavellan smiles and says, "Which is?"

 

I'm just going to headcanon that my Inquisitor is smiling because she's thinking, "Tell me something I don't know," and says "Which is?" out loud because she's trolling/humoring Morrigan. It's like, "You think I don't recognize a temple of my own All-Mother Goddess? Fine. I'll play along and have you tell me what you know, and silently correct you every word of the way."

 

Best I got. If it's a bug or a glitch, I hope the devs fix it in future patches. =/

I doubt it's a bug.  They just messed up the conversations in and surrounding the Well.
Solas saying he begged you not to drink was a mess up

[scintilla]

May I ask what your guys reason was to play as an elf?

Most people seem to like human PCs better, so what made you roll a Lavellan?

 

Solas. Superficial doesn't begin to describe it.

[Wheels]

In this case... I did it to do the Solas romance

 

A legit reason

Lol.  You can't just make those kinds of jokes.   Turns them into flesh eating unicorns.

[Birdy]

hmm, Are Andruil/Sylaise/June the children of Elgar'nan/Mythal? I couldn't find anything explicitly stating it, but I thought they were... (The wiki says the twins were their eldest children, which implies they had younger ones. And Mythal's picture has her holding 5 children).

 

I was just thinking that if that were true, Fen'harel is the only one we don't know the origin of? He's also the only one not depicted as an Elf in his mural. And it's said he was the only Elvhen God who could walk with the Forgotten ones. Are we sure it's not the other way around, and he was a Forgotten One, who managed to convince the Elvhen Gods to accept him?

They're called brothers/twins but codex says they're not blood related.

Game Character Obsession Test

• ...
• Do you cry when you see other people's protagonists with the fictional character because that's isn't the type of women the fictional character would pursue?

 
Does it count that I make a frowny face whenever I see fanart/video/anything of a Lavellan with him that isn't brunette, because mine is? Most recently:
 
[Insert Image of stern Solas + white haired Lavellan + wolf mosaic that I can't find now. Someone post it again cause I lost it in the post pool and it is amazeballs.]
Me: "That art is great! Solas looks FANTASTIC!!!"
Me: "But that's not Tiger Festival!!"
Me: ...
Me: <Kittn disapproves.>

Thought y'all might like to see how your favourite characters rank in most favourite to least!

This was fun! And my list turned out very accurate. I swear the most agonizing decision for me was:

 

 

Surprising really. I forgot how much I like Zevran. Especially in light of the romance offerings in DA2 and Inquisition. He's so comfy and loyal and sweet, even though he's an assassin and one time self-proclaimed skank. He's the bad boy whose heart you changed, and you got to keep him! I miss him a lot more than I realized. Also, dat accent.

 

So here's my list if anyone is curious who won:

Spoiler

 

I am honestly surprised Sera wasn't at the arse bottom with Tallis and Isabella. She should have been. They are absolutely my least favorite characters in the entire series. I guess I got confused with some of the bad guys and felt obligated to  vote the more notorious ones down. This is of course, only my personal opinion. I'll defend it if I have to but that sure seems to be a can of worms on the BSN, especially for Sera. 

 

Riordan should have been a lot higher. I didn't hate him, but he got shuffled down too far during the more Meh matchups.

[Mims]

Its possible Solas was a forgotten one, but I think as far as the legends go its clear that he is of the pantheon, but was welcome among the forgotten ones because they saw him as 'like them'. Perhaps they thought that they could win him at some point to their side.

 

Its hard to say how evil/not evil the forgotten ones actually were. It could be they were exactly the same as the pantheon, just expelled from power in Arlathan. 

[Ajna]

I was explaining, not getting antsy, hence the wink

 

Edit: I think it comes down to having been through the "Ermagerd, it's so unhealthy/wrong/he's evil/effed up/satan/*insert the rest here*" before, so a lot of us tend to be extra...can't think of the word, brain is broken...blame Solas.

[Sashimi_taco]

I don't think she can "see the future" so much as her magic may enhance her intuition. And it's not all that rare a gift. The seers in Rivain are hedge mages that practice divination.

 

"it's nothing. i just fee like i've seen this all before. like we've been here before doing the same thing"

 

[Paraphrase]

 

Then solas says something like oh that's interesting or whatever.

 

And hedge mages who practice divination are assumed to be full of it, canonically.

My Warden was a City elf because I found their situation in the world interesting and the origin was good (Shianni & Soris ).

During the game itself, the race kinda grew on me, because of the lore, the dalish legends and the fact that they were just so much more interesting than the usual ("boring") humans. Missed the option in DAII even more than I thought I would, and therefore rolled a Lavellan in Inquisition.

I don't know why darwes don't appeal to me, and I have a qunari PT on stand by, because I do my second Lavellan right now 

 

Edit: Hope that all makes sense. It's pretty late here!

I actually rather dislike human PCs. Humans are boring, and I like seeing different perspectives when playing a fantasy game.

 

In DAO my two "main" canons are female elf mage (my original playthrough and the canon I use most often) and a female dwarf noble. I went with elf mage first so I could do a maximum marginalization run. Just stick it to the world by making a combination of the most hated groups in Thedas the hero of the story.

 

In Inquisition my original plan was to do a Qunari mage for much the same reasons, but I also really wanted to romance Solas, so I put my plans for my Qunari on the backburner, and in the end I'm glad that I did. I love the Qunari but being an elf makes the story so much better.

[RynJ]

What am I supposed to do with this lit torch now, dude? What a waste. 

 

As for why I played an elf, I was always going to eventually. The character that's my canon now was originally going to be my second playthrough. I was going to go qunari first but Solas' restriction just made me switch my first and second playthroughs. Maybe I'll play my qunari character in DA4, if it's possible!

[Sable Rhapsody]

Light Solas's coattails on fire? 

[Oswin]

Dorian tries to talk to her about magic and asks her what she thinks of when he says phrases. She just says "arrows" each time. He then talks magic to her more and she says she doesn't care how talented he is don't cram his magic where it's not wanted.

 

Dorian tries not to laugh and says "i don't think I can continue"

Vivi then says "Maker, how does she not know?"

 

----

 

If I'm not mistaken the Dorian conversation you are mentioning is the one where she keeps talking about mages and their 'tools' and says things like waving it in their faces and shoving it down peoples throats. Dorian pretty much dies laughing and Viv is teasing her lack of understanding on the imagery she's painting there.

 

It's very frustrating, no? The devs seemed surprised to learn the Dalish Inquisitor gives that response, so it might be a bug or a glitch.

 

I don't know why, but when Morrigan says, "I believe we are at the Temple of Mythal," my Lavellan smiles and says, "Which is?"

I really hope it's a bug. I love my Lavellan, but at that moment I just wanted to smack him round the head 

[Renmiri1]

Please! And if you want to see your own Lavellan on the vid. just upload some videos on youtube and link it to me so I will make a video of your lavellan!!!

I like the idea of Solas being the misfit that both groups held in respect. 

An elven 'Creator', but he disdains the idea of slave-priests, which makes him 'totally lame' in the view of Falon'din and his clique. Mythal respects him though, and holds him in higher regard. She doesn't have to bust down his temple or wrestle with him as a giant dragon, after all.

Meanwhile, the Forgotten Ones appreciate his talent for trolling people and his constant sassing of the other Creators.

EDIT: Have a Solas!

[Precursor Meta]

The quest all new, Faded for Her isn't showing up in my "completed Quest" list. Will that impact the Solas romance. The last cutscene I had with Solas was on the balcony in the inquisitors room.

Edit: Hope that all makes sense. It's pretty late here!

In DAO my canon Warden was an Elf Mage.  Mostly because being a human seemed boring to me.  Any time an option is given I usually try to play as something other than human.  Playing a fantasy game, I'm human irl, *shrug* never put much thought into it beyond that I suppose.  But it also depends on whether or not I can make a character that I like their face enough.  In DAI I just can't make a face I like other than Lavellan.  I really struggled making a human, and in the end I didn't *love* how she turned out.  My Qunari grew on me.  Haven't been able to commit to playing a dwarf yet.  I'll probably play 3 more Lavellans before I ever do a dwarf PT.  (Which is so effing bizarre for me, because in WoW and FF14 I like to play the short stature characters.  My main is a Goblin.  On Alliance I loooooooove Gnomes.  My main in FF14 was a Lalafel.)

 

I don't dislike the Dalish, but I wasn't keen on playing one for DAI.  Honestly I like having a bare face.  I had no idea who I was going to romance so I was trying to maximize that part of the game for my first PT.  Solas was race gated so that decided it for me.  Playing Lavellan meant no romance was locked to me.  I had kind of decided on Solas by that point.  "Hrmmm this bald elf will only romance an elf.  There could be something juicy there.  I hope he has a great personality."

They're called brothers/twins but codex says they're not blood related.

 

Well, they're still referred to as the children of Mythal. Like June/Andruil/Sylaise are siblings. Even if it's not in blood, it seems most of the Pantheon had some kind of familial relationship. It's just Ghilan'nain who isn't, and she's explained as being the lover of Andruil so it still kinda fits. Just seems like Fen'Harel is a bit of an odd one out! 

 

Its possible Solas was a forgotten one, but I think as far as the legends go its clear that he is of the pantheon, but was welcome among the forgotten ones because they saw him as 'like them'. Perhaps they thought that they could win him at some point to their side.

 

Its hard to say how evil/not evil the forgotten ones actually were. It could be they were exactly the same as the pantheon, just expelled from power in Arlathan. 

 

Both sides seem pretty evil! I think they were probably the same type of beings (Gods? Mages?), but on different sides maybe.

I'd never finished Origins with an elf character, just humans and dwarves, and the Dalish got a lot more interesting in DA2, so I figured it would be cool. Also, it made the prologue more dramatic, in my head anyway. It's not sunshine and rainbows for a human Inquisitor either, but for a Dalish elf, getting captured, locked up and interrogated by a bunch of shemlen is kind of a worst-case "well crap I'm dead now" scenario even aside from the hole in the sky and the demons. Drama!

[soragrey]

I was reading the entry about the mural in Skyhold that solas paints. In the codex entry, Solas says "Skyhold is her fortress, these are her actions", yet the last mural piece was not done by the means of Lavellan. If the most popular theory (that it is a wolf striking down a dragon, imagery of Solas and Flemeths fate) is true, then solas directly contradicted his own statement with that last piece. Also, I would theorize that in that last mural he also nonverbally explained his own actions to the inquisitor (not like she would understand, though...or would she?).

Yeah, hmm, it seemed like the murals were his tribute to her and her work (and his part of it, with all the wolves incorporated), and the last was a message for her, or maybe he just needed to express himself in a way that felt safe (artistically). Or maybe he felt like there ought to be a record of it, for truth's sake. I'm not sure. But he at the very least would have known that she would have seen the mural, and would have not known right away what it was about. He intended for her to see it, even unfinished.

And hedge mages who practice divination are assumed to be full of it, canonically. 

Well we all know how Bioware likes letting us assume things and then pulling the rug out. I don't think we can say that they're full of it just because most of the world does.

 

Sera probably has magically-enhanced intuition, which makes a lot of sense and fits with her character (intuitive but instinctually so). It doesn't fit for her to be some unknowing super-special magical powerhouse. She's a hedge mage, whose magic has manifested in a form she can make sense of. And if all of the mages know it, they don't tell her because she'd throw a tantrum and not believe them anyways. If she was truly powerful, they'd do something about it. But Sera is Sera, and her powers aren't great enough to pose a threat. So if she wants to stay in denial then it's fine to let her.

 

This is why I was so incredulous about the Sera = Andruil theory. Even her being a vessel or something. That's just not who the character is. Being an unknowing hedge mage fits. Secretly being a powerful mage does not. A truly powerful mage would have been either discovered or possessed long ago. In fact, that's probably one of the reasons why Sera is so attached to the idea of being common. Embracing her magic would have meant attracting demons or getting carted off to the circle. However, most mages don't have the luxury of staying hidden.

I just played an Elf for the Solas romance!

 

I usually don't play the romances, because I'm super fussy about who my characters can hook up with. The only other one I've played and enjoyed was the Garrus romance in Mass Effect. I usually play a female human mage, and usually play the straight romances. So that left me with Blackwall, Iron Bull or Cullen, none of whom are even remotely my type. I'm usually human because I feel the other races aren't usually dealt with very well and it takes me out of the game.

 

I was staying away from most of the information about the game (spoilers!), but I knew Solas existed. I knew he was locked to Elves due to "plot reasons" which sounded super interesting, and I'd seen a picture and thought he was cute. I didn't know anything about what he was like, but had a good feeling about him, so I decided so take a chance and roll an Elf for once! 

 

Soooo glad I did!
