I'm also still curious about this though 

 

Spoiler

 

just how old is my blood 

 

So I'm thinking that maybe all along we've been wrong about assuming the orb Cory uses is Fen'Harel's.  What if the orbs are phylacteries like the one in the Arcane Warrior quest in DAO?  Except the orbs are phylacteries for god souls/power.

 

And instead of being born into a child like Kieran, the god soul that was in Cory's orb got transferred into the Inquisitor when s/he touched it.

 

Hm... I wonder which god it was.  Maybe it was the same goddess that Fen'Harel had a relationship with way back when.  Because you know how much BioWare loves the dead wife thing.

Now you're discussing Skyrim???? I really can't keep up with this tread....

I have no idea what's going on here 95% of the time it seems.  No way I can keep up with what goes on here, either.  I might as well talk about the weather or something else completely random each time I pop in

[Rabbitonfire]

What if I just finish the game without initiating the third romance scene. Does that mean he didn't break up with me??!

it means that you might not be romance gated yet and can commit adultery. Unless you got the romance achievement.

Found some interesting things after disabling the fog while flying around the Crossroads. First off, there are two massive Fen'Harel statues in the background.

 

Second, the little building that Morrigan's eluvian exits from has one eluvian on each side, all whole. Each eluvian is flanked by two statues, different ones for each eluvian. I also put some close ups of the statues here.

Fen'Harel Also Fen'Harel apaprently? (These exact statues are by the altar to Fen'Harel in the Exalted Plains.)

Andruil probably

Mythal maybe? Because the whole dragon imagery thing.

Oh god, I hope not!   In the context of the romance, I'd like to think that Solas loved Lavellan for being herself and not because she became some sort of vessel for the soul of his former lover.

There's actually..grass, and real trees and...sky?

 

Maaan, I'm SO desperate to explore this bloody place!

It's the same location of the epilogue. There's a video of lady insanity discovering this.

There are a dozen different topics at any given time in this thread I swear

Yeah I've seen it, but I never noticed anything green before, is this thanks to lack of fog?  Or just me being completely un-observant?

This is the kind of stuff that makes me wish we could play an Artlathan type of DLC. If this is just a relic of a gateway between, how amazeballs did their ancient city look?

[Kittn]

With all the Skyrim discussion, and realizing that Tiger Festival's PT clocked in at 117 hours, I got curious how they stacked up in playtime for me.



Sadly, it will never catch up it seems. I am in the middle of yet another Skyrim playthrough that was paused for DAI. This, 3 years after the launch of the game and it's been on my pc since the day it was released. That alone should speak worlds of my opinion of Skyrim, but I understand its not the sort of game for everyone. A lot of its replay value does come from mods, it's true, but people are still making mods for it. This game might just be immortal to me.

At least till ESVI, I guess.
 
Tiny rant incoming, but I wish Bioware had taken note. I bet they actually did, because the lack of an official toolkit sounds more like EA's bullshizzle and wanting to cash shop all possible content than anything. Sadly, without an official mod kit, I could never recommend DAI over Skyrim.
 
When a game is good, people want to keep enjoying it, and its nice to have a way to fix bugs ourselves when the devs can't be arsed or quick enough about it. So, give us a real toolkit, powers that be and then we'll see how long Skyrim manages to stay ahead. Right now, DAI's horse is hobbled as far as I am concerned.

Agreed.  I don't like dead wife/dead husband plots at the best of the time but the idea that my character is Solas' love because she happens be the re-incarnation of one of his past loves?  No thank you.  I love that Solas loves Lavellan for her spirit.  I don't need some 'eternal pre-destined love'.

I am sorry to go off topic, but I'm terribly sad. My dog is sick and she's not going to make it.
DA:I is helping me so much in not making me think about it. Tonight I had a weird dream, I was trying to find a way to help my dog, then Flemeth came to me and offered a way out... she was going to help, but then I woke up. I know this might sound creepy, of course it was just a dream. I just wanted to share this with someone, this whole situation is driving me mad... I don't know what I'd do without this game to distract me. Reading this thread and all your theories helps, too.

Gosh, I feel so sad. God.

... have a solas, so this post is not completely wasted

Thank you. As odd as that might be it's also rather comforting.

Disabling the fog did make a big difference.

Interesting...

 

Could the howling wolf be Fen'Harel specific and the other ones mean a place that's welcoming but guarded like neutral ground?  

[Little Mama]

If it is Solas's power that the IQ has gotten, then it must really hurt him to see it used. Especially if it's someone that uses it for his/her own gain/power...  Just horrible _*shudders* 

I do not like the idea that I'd be some former lover... 

[RebbyWriter]

Oh, and on the subject of the Pantheon, is it a general agreement that people hate Andruil? I get the feeling that because of the whole Fen'Harel sex slave thing, that Solasmancer don't care for her. Or is it something else? She's the next elven god that I am tackling and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something that could be added to my drawing...and no, I am not going to have Solas tied to a tree in the background. Don't worry.

 I mean Skyrim is more of a sandbox than anything so the mods work but still.  Skyrim on PC - I can't imagine it on console.  What a hobbled experience. I have like 400 hours into that game and never finished the main quest.  I don't even know what's going on and can't even begin to care but I loved running around and finding the weirdness.  The mods have been great.  I downloaded that HILARIOUS  Sloth(from The Goonies) mod and all other sorts of **** from serious to more hilarious. 

 

Where Dragon Age and TES differ for me is the story. I have never and will never care about the lore/story in TES.  I don't know what's what, whose who. I'm like 'shut up and let me kill you'.  THis is how I play all Bethesda games though.   Whereas Dragon Age, I do care about the lore, the story and the characters.

I, too, have been pondering why Fen'Harel has two distinctly different statues: the howling wolf and the "friendly guardian", as I've come to think of them.

But let's not start my rants about Skyrim. Haha. I will say one last thing on the whole DAI/TES comparison front. When I see all the threads moaning about fetch quests in DAI...all I can think is, I wonder if they played Oblivion. I adore Oblivion, but for it's side and faction quests. The main storyline? Oh man. You are just fetching crap for Sean Bean. 

 

 

Indeed, and that was literally, years before he played Eddard Stark...
