Whoa, whoa!  Metaphorical lovers.   @w@  

 

Historical interpretation is wide open: you can keep their connection entirely ideological, if you want.  The Wife-Husband-Lover triad is only provably literal in the case of Flemeth's personal history, and only as a reflection that motivates her to willingly take in Mythal.  The writers carefully left everything else up to your individual Solas/Mythal head canon.

Awww man I would love to debate this but I'm either really dumb to fully understand what you mean or the massive ingestion of sugar I just took won't let me focus....I kinda  wanna throw up so maybe its both.

 

Kids don't eat a tub of ice cream with coke, caramel chocolates, and whipped cream. I think it can kill you...

 

Its actually Vulcans that constrain their emotions. The split between Romulans and Vulcans is mostly based on how they handle their emotions. Romulans are certainly a rigid society, but they don't tend to endorse the emotional suppression that the Vulcans do. They enjoy backstabbing far, far too much. Not sure if they can go into a Romulan rage like a Vulcan can. 

 

I should probably know that.

 

I wish I could get into star trek, I love Vulcan. I find them fascinating along with the other bunch of alien species. But there's something that just eeeeh.  I like most of the movies though. The new ones eeeh, I've watched mostly cause damn...Cumberbooty and Pine are fine as heck.

Ha. I head canon my Warden ran off with him. (To try to cure the taint, of course!)

While there are some hints to the Qun being set up to restrain a by nature passionate race, a la the Vulcans of Star Trek, really the Qun is to blame for the Tal-Vashoth's violence.

Most of the Qunari who defect are soldiers, because if anything is going to make you lose hope in life, it's the jungle/urban/ freaky three-way war going on in Seheron. The Tal-Vashoth in DA2 give some great dialogue basically explaining that he only has the one skill, fighting. Now that he's left the Qun, he sells himself as a mercenary.

But the others don't. As Tal-Vashoth, they're pitiless raiders and terrorists fighting the Qunari and harassing general passerby.

Because that's what the Qun dictates Tal-Vashoth are.

The Adaar family has left the Qun in truth. They're just people. But the Tal-Vashoth, in their rebellion, aren't really rebelling. They're as much a part of the Qun as the rest. They're there to show the Qunari why the Qun is needed, what happens to them if they leave. They serve as a constant enemy to justify the Qun's more ruthless methods. They weed out the 'week' among the Antaam.

Iron Bull himself worries he'll become bloodthirsty. It's because that's what he's always been taught Tal-Vashoth are like. And, truthfully, he enjoys violence. But he could always tell himself he enjoyed his role as Hissrad under the Qun.

There's a reason Madness is his greatest fear in the Fade.

I highly, highly recommend Deep Space Nine. If you have problems with the episodic formula of Star Trek, it is the series with the most continuity and drama. Great characters, and some amazing story arcs. First couple of seasons are a bit shaky but it is well worth watching. Only series of trek to have some morally grey characters as well.

They should've given him Corypheus voice.... he also is cooler than Cory. Who in Broware makes all these bad decisions??? He should have been on Inquisitions.

[Blackout62]

He's funny, charming, and has a amazing reaction realistic to what is happening around him? I think he'd make a interesting LI, but he has makes a great companion because He becomes a reliable friend for your Inq/Hawke. 

 

Wasn't sure how to reply to that without sounding snobbish. Solas is a wonderful LI And correlates to the Story, but I think Varric is the type of guy you'd want to marry or something. This sounds so strange. 

 

So what I'm getting, and not just from this post, is that we need to suss out DA:I Marry, Sex (obviously the censors won't play ball with what this should be), Kill lists.

 

Spoiler

Marry:

Varric; You just know it would be a charmingly sincere marriage.

Vivienne; I imagine a one time thing with Vivienne would be filled with disdain before, during, and after. That needs to be an in for a penny, in for a pound relationship. Marrying her means ceding control to her but for gains in power and nice clothes. It'd be like being the Claire to her Frank Underwood!

Josephine; Again, charmingly sincere.

Leliana; You both wake up in a bed of a small room at an unscheduled time. You're tired, sore, and you both fell asleep in the clothes you arrived in. You'll have to get ready and leave in less than an hour but as you feel something something in your pocket you realize it will all be worth it as the operation was a success and you have proof of a significant monarch's malfeasance that will help you immeasurably. Kiss before you start running. And your entire relationship is musically carried by "Nobody Does It Better".

Solas; It's a power couple. No matter how much he doesn't want it to be, being Solas' wife could potentially likely mean being queen of the world.

 

Sex:

Dorian; He seems like he'd be fun to date. Hell, he seems like he'd be fun to have as an ex. Marriage sounds less fun.

Iron Bull; One night of riding the Bull sounds fun but it could easily get repetitive after a while.

 

Kill:

Sera; Do I really need an answer for Sera?

Cassandra; Look she's close minded and when it all comes down to it a bit dim. It's all a bit insufferable. Sure, she's self-aware that she's not the sharpest tool in the shed and it's actually rather endearing that she's the first to say she's wrong but she never grows to actually thinking through decisions so she's less likely to be wrong. She's an intellectually flat character.

Cullen; Cullen is such a prince charming. He'll make someone who wants to be a princess very happy. And only that kind of person.

Blackwall; Shave the beard and maybe we'll-- No, we still won't talk. Just, there's nothing there and nothing can put it there.

 

I have a crush on The Architect. 

 

Really glad I'm not the only one in that club. He seems like such a nice, albeit confused, guy. And he was probably the handsome one of the Tevinter Magisters. Actually I would love the punchline of seeing a pre-darkspawn Cory and realizing "Damn it, he's gorgeous".

whoa whoa whoa a lot of ship jumpers from the Team Optimism Dreadnought today

 

I couldn't contribute much due to work but I just had to pop in and say that we're so totally getting our egg back (he may be broken and we may be bruised but we will get there) and I for one will scramble that egg like he's never been scrambled. YEA VERILY. Also: this dreadnought will never explode while I'm at the helm. I MEAN LOOK AT THE FLAG I MADE: 

 

someone with photoshop skillz needs to add an egg to that for me stat

 

and now I have to go to bed because work so I will see myself out

I have a crush on The Architect. 

You will have to fight me.  He is one chill ass dude.  I need him to return, possibly more than I need Solas to return. I don't think I realized it until Corypheus showed up and I was like '**** YOU. YOU'RE NOT THE ARCHITECT".

 

I think that's what love is, right?

[AzureNika]

Thank you! I'll... get it..legally..right away. Hope its on Netflix.

I've been thinking of Mythal as the order to Fen'Harel's chaos for a while.  Just in an abstract way, I like how poetic it is.  Old friends, and when Mythal's order dies, Fen'Harel's chaos overtakes Thedas. 

 

Spoiler

Maybe only Mythal!Morrigan can restore order again.

 

*cringe*  Can't agree here.  Sera as Chaos works.  Andruil as Chaos works.  Solas?  Is absolutely Balance.  

 

History skews our perception of his position to the side of Chaos because in most circumstances, creeping Order is the larger social threat.  There is evidence, though, that when Balance is threatened by Chaos (like when the Andrastean revolution was in danger of overreaching and the sheer mass of freed slaves and new land was almost ungovernable) he worked through Maferath's dreams to betray Mythal and ensure Andraste's death.  

 

Not white.  Not black.  Very much gray.

It is, actually! How I watched it a few years ago. Seriously great cast. Cannot recommend enough.

Corypheus was pretty cool in Legacy. And yeah, his voice acting was great. I got chills when he said, "Be this some dream I wake from?"

 

I just wish he got more screen time and exposition in Inquisition, because his story is pretty interesting, and I don't think we really got to see enough...just hints. 

[electricfish]

The Architect pretty much has to make a return at some point. Except if you killed him. Since a Grey Warden killed him, does that mean he can't body hop to a darkspawn?

Wouldn't he need the same setup Cory had with his dragon that let him jump to Wardens? Ha, imagine if the Warden went through all that trouble of living through killing the Archdemon only to get their body taken by the Architect pulling the same trick.

 

Edit: Ah, we meet again top of the page.

"Killed him" I'm taking his death with a grain of salt thanks to Cory.

[BoscoBread]

That's a good point. There was some mention though with COrypheus that the Grey Wardens couldn't kill him so they had to imprison him. Now we don't know if they actually every put him down or tried and he was able to stop them.   I mean, look what happened when Hawke "Killed" Corypheus. He just jumped to the nearest tainted being and walked away. So BW can probably do some handwaving to return the Architect. 

 

Also the Architect is a total boss.  Seriously I don't think anything less than the world completely blipping out of existence would end him.

I doubt the Seven Magisters operate on the same body hopping rules as the Old Gods.

Somewhere, I read this brilliant fan theory that explained why that was. But I can't find it.

But if the 'soul can't be forced on an unwilling host' thing said by Flemeth is true, Seranni is present and willing and tainted at the Architect's possible death scene.

Which I've only done once, for my Ruthless Jerk Warden playthrough. I didn't like it.

Now that I've read The Calling and actually gotten to know him better and Utha at all.

Never again.

What is it about Jamie Glover's voice that makes me melt? He voiced Darth Baras in the Old Republic, too, and, I'm not saying I would go to the Dark Side for him, I'm just saying, I mostly played Imperial so I could hang out with him more and earn his approval and stare into his yellow, yellow eyes.

Ahem.

[Mims]

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Seranni or Velanna again with the architect. Velanna can die, but wasn't it a 'they never found the body' type situation?

If we're recommending Star Trek spin-offs...  Star Trek: Enterprise is a good one if you find some of the utopia aspects of the older ones a little hard to swallow. Enterprise is set at the beginning of the space exploration timeline for humans. They don't have replicators. Money is still very much in circulation. Vulcans and humans don't get along like bros. It's a very humanizing version of the show. There are multi-episode arcs mixed in with the more traditional episodic ones. People should give it a shot too. And you get more background lore on how "modern" Kirk and Picard era Vulcans became what they are!

 

For general fantasy... Farscape is my #1 recommendation. Someone else talked about it earlier in the thread, but I have to throw in my vote as well. Claudia Black (Morrigan) is pretty awesome, but it's a great old series all on its own. It's definitely different than Star Trek, but I recommend it for anyone willing to get into a setting that isn't focused on humans.

I agree.  I feel the Corypheus story arc was, lacking?  Or, like it needed...more?  In Legacy, I nearly poopoo'd my small clothes when I saw him appear.  It probably didn't help I was playing in a dark room, in the middle of the night... alone.  

 

There was a small part of me that was like, rooting for the bad guy during my playthrough in Inquisition, lol!  I've only ever played Nightmare, because I wanted to feel like every single moment was life or death, I needed that struggle to feel like what was going on was really like the end of the world.  Had Corypheus succeeded in his evil plan, in even a small way (other than the Breach...), then I feel like that would have really put the emphasis on the "Oh s***, things are gettin' REAL up in hurr" feeling the story was trying to give me.

 

Not that I disapprove of saving the world, by preemptively solving major issues, and minor ones, and ones that involve Druffalo herding (srs, wut), but I guess I was hoping for... more.  Lol, I'm starting to sound like Dagna.  

 

I need a bigger bad to fall into place now.  And more Solas.  I NEEDS IT.

Yeah, the whole time I didn't even feel Corypheus as a threat. For the exception to his scenes cause he talks and **** gets scary. Even fighting him felt... easy? I just feel they could've handled the Cory threat better cause half the time I was playing the first time I forgot he was the big bad. Or maybe that's just me. We also learn very very little about him, and he mostly repeats himself when in dialogue. Never reveals much but a few bits and crumbs. Maybe I'm just too hungry for answers.
