which vallaslins did you guys take for your characters? 

 

Dirthamen and I have an outrageously overthought headcanon for why my Lavellan made that choice, why she ended up keeping them, and why they're emblematic of her internal conflict during the events of DA:I.

 

Unrelated: Did anyone else notice that Bioware has an elf naming rule? Most female elves have names that end in vowels while males end in consonants. If this leads anyone to some crazed name changes of their Lavellans like it did for me I apologize.

Terrwyn took Mythal, the full one.

She took it because she would become the protector and mother of her clan, and wanted to prove to clan Lavellan she would not falter, so what better way than to embody the goddess of protection. Terrwyn's always protected and defended the Dalish, turned a blind eye to their flaws because she had to stay steadfast in her duty. Then her protection extended to the Inquisition and her companions; she gives and gives when no one else will.

Damn it! I just love the Lavellan more I made first time.. Idk she looks almost the same but XD Idk maybe it is because it was my first gameplay.. so I guess I'll just keep her =__=''


 

I had the same probs when I went to remake my first Lavellan.  I am a dumdum and never saved the sliders.  (I still haven't gone to the trouble of saving sliders, heh)

I spent almost 2 hours in CC remaking her for what is now my canon PT.  Her face is slightly different (eyes are a lil larger).  I think I deleted 3 Lavs, because something was super off in the face shape once I got in game.  Luckily I had a couple screenshots of her side profile that I could use to try and get the face closer.  Hitting that Test Voice button repeatedly made getting her right so much easier.

 

Anyways I had taken a SS at the same cut scene for both, did I get her close er what?

I chose Mythals vallaslin , but it's really confusing to me. The vallaslins in DAO looked diferent , like this is my Mahariel:

 

Spoiler

 

It's supposed to be Ghilan'nain's vallaslin and I wanted to have them on my Lavellan too, but they look nothing like this. grrr

Yeah I like how that one looks better.  It uses the same design a very similar design in DAI it's just that the line is thin instead of being bold like that, so it makes it look sooooo different.  At least I think so.

I've seen some custom vallaslin textures. Maybe a modder will be able to restore the original Ghilan'nain vallaslin?

I don't think you guys need to guess to know what name I gave him, now if only the male lavellan body wasn't so scrawny... :wub:

I also picked Mythal's vallaslin...only because it looks like a tree to me..and since my Lavellan is the Keeper's second..I thought it was appropriate. This was before I found out it was Mythal's.

I never noticed that... funny though because all my normal character names end in a vowel, which is amusing because all of my names are elf (well actually one was a tiefling but it still fits!) characters I made for D&D. I always like ending elf names with a vowel for some reason.

I chose her vallaslin for cosmetic purposes but I figured it was either Dirthamen or Falon'Din. Sylaise would have worked well too but it didn't look as good.

I thought about renaming Terrwyn after studying some of the language, but I can't. I headcanon that her parents were like: 

 

"What about this one?"

"No, like five of my cousins are named that."

"Then this one?"

"Honey, I'm not naming our child "woman"."

"Fine. Then what do you want?"

"Terrwyn."

"That's a human name. Do you know the shitstorm our clan would rain down upon us?"

"We'll just say we mixed up a whole bunch of words, found the original meaning and made it elven again."

"...I don't know whether that is genius or crazy."

I went with Mythal, just because I liked how it looked. I'm not keen on the colour though, as it's not really visible in some lighting. 

 

I was reading posts awhile ago about the Temple of Mythal, and about how weird it is a Dalish with Mythal tattoos didn't know who she was. I have no idea who it was (sorry, it was ages ago before I had an account! :( ), but someone jokingly mentioned they hoped she didn't just pick that tattoo because she really likes trees. I've been head-cannoning that my inquisitor just really likes trees since that comment. (She's really embarrassed by the fact and would never admit it, because she thinks the Elves loving nature stuff is a horrid stereotype).

While I want to believe that Solas is Fen'Harel and Solas is just the totally-not-subtle name of self-loathing he takes after awakening and trying to fix his mess... there IS something odd about his interactions with Cole.
 

When Cole begins interacting with Solas, Solas goes out of his way to ask Cole to remember the things that pain him or weigh on his mind, "could you.. could you do it as I would?" In doing so, Cole changes his syntax and sentence structure. It's no longer a disjointed garble of verbs, but instead complete sentences that have a subject. Him. In third person. No longer the first person in-the-moment-experiences he has with the other companions.
 

This separation, or personal distance if you will, could lead credence to the concept of Fen'Harel possessing Solas at some point. Who knows? That possession could have even been before the fall of Arlathan and Solas could still be the ancient Elvhen Abelas recognizes him to be.

Moreover, in Cole's descriptions of Solas' past there is a moment in which he describes a death scene: 

Cole: It sees him ready to jump pain pulsing. A life of frustration can finally fall, to freeze.
Solas: Ah, yes.  
Cole: It holds him high, shows the hole where everything falls without him. He never needs to leave. He matters here. 
Solas: That is one interpretation, yes. 
Cole: You think it is different?
Solas: I think he fell and it held him as he died. Leaving him with images that told him his life was worth while. 
Cole: That's much sadder, but yes, calm comfort as the cold takes him away. They can only return to the maker if they become real. Why can't they be forgiven as they are? 
Solas: People say the lack the ability to learn or grow. 
Cole: Yes?
Solas: But the more contact you have with this world the more ability you gain. 

Fascinating. Why would Solas have the memory of a dead man, the sensation and thoughts he felt as he died? Moreover, their conversation flits straight to a conversation about being "real" (seriously, that's going to be my next wall of text break down - that word bothers me to no end because of its ambiguity), the necessity of becoming or interacting with the physical in order to grow, to change, to experience. It's odd.

 

I'm still catching up with this thread, but my interpretation was that it's two different interpretations of It's A Wonderful Life. Cole takes the mainstream view that the angel shows him how much difference he's really made, convincing him to return home and go on living. Solas, the eternal optimist, sees it as an angel comforting the man that his life mattered as he's falling into the river to his death to freeze.

The 'real' thing is definitely a biggie. The Chantry's view is that when people die, they go to the Fade (Or a place beyond the Fade, I'm not too clear on that.) to the Maker's side. So maybe 'spirits' are real?

But then there's all that talk of Templars grounding things in reality, juxtaposed with the Fade.

Bah.

Wow. That actually makes perfect sense, and is very touching. In a downer sort of way.

Aaand I was just thinking about romancing Solas. For some reason, I don't think it's such a good idea anymore.


You should totally do it. Of course, I'm biased. I think I got his 2nd romance scene after Adamant and not after his personal quest, so I think it just depends on what order you do those quests in. His romance scenes are in no way dependent on when you do his personal quest as far as I'm aware.

I'm on my first runthrough of DA2 and I'm playing a Mage romancing Anders. I know what happens in the end but I'm still getting all giddy and happy about their romance (they just did the do and awwww). Apostate mage love 4 life.

...Did you pick the sandwich option afterward?...because I did....but then I reloaded. LOL.

I've seen people mentioning Solas's heraldry or symbol. What is it, and how do we know it's his symbol? I feel like I've missed something and am confused. LOL. Help me, Solas thread! You're the only ones who can! ;)

Oh my god, Zerebus.  You just made the pieces click for me.  I could hug you!!

 

Cole: A war in the Fade, waged with human hatred. (Shudders.) I should never want to see that.
Solas: It would be a terrible thing.
Cole: It was wrong to hide it in the child. It hurt her.

 

The actual movie reference is Prophecy, but the in-game connection is probably what the Stone is, which would mean that what we know of as Thedas... the actual planet... is a dragon egg.  Literally.  A God-dragon egg.  Mythal's, to be specific.  And the Void was placed at the very center of it.  The Child's body is literally acting as a prison for the Sun, which as we know is leaking blight- like an infection, hurting her, though her Dwarven "immune system" is fighting it.  

 

Holy crap.  Thank you.  The whole "Mythal is the Earth, but the actual planet can't be made of her physical corpse because it's still somewhat alive" thing was driving me nuts.   This fits.   I like it.   Yes.

 

My God, though.  That would make the Fade the Child's soul.  And that.... I mean.... this is getting very....

 

*lies down on the floor*

 

 

Did... did I just kill someone by blowing their mind?  I knew I never should have picked up that Pick of Destiny...

There's a symbol that can be seen on the statue to Fen'Harel in the Temple of Mythal (the one Morrigan comments on).  However, that symbol is also used in several other places and is possibly also the alienage symbol.  So... *shrugs*
