Ah! Oki, Kittn. Thank you. I missed that during the first play through. I'll head over there on this one now :D

 

Does anyone else tote the little "Wooden Wolf Figurine" in their inventory? I just can't sell it!

 

*raises hand* also the Wolf Totem and the Ivory Halla.

And the Dalish Toy Soldier... they've been littering my Lavellan's pockets since the Hinterlands.

Yep.  :lol:   Every time I hear it, I'm like, "heeeeeyy".

Canon Lavellan has a "silver nug foot charm", "dragon sketches x2" and "dalish toy soldier" that sits in her inventory.

They are hypotheses, just as yours are.  They have flaws, but so do yours.  Neither is likely to be canon.

Whoa, I agree!  I didn't mean that to come off as combative- completely the opposite.  I wanted to know whether you were interested in people trying to poke holes in the theory as it stands, or whether you just wanted to present it.  owo   Would love to squeeze it into the wiki either way.  Some people have thinner skins than others when it comes to pet theories, and things have occasionally got a bit raw with people feeling like they're coming under personal attack when others present counter-evidence.

You have to break up for him to -really- care about you!

 

It's just how courtship went in Arlathan!

This actually refers to a movie, Meet Joe Black.  The original is a classic, but there's a newer version and Brad Pitt played Death in it. It was named after the name of the man Death was possessing.  Basically, Death agrees not to take a man for a while so that he can take the man's daughter instead.  In the old version, Death does take the woman, but in the newer version, he lets her live and then she falls in love with the man Death was possessing.  The story Solas and Cole are telling is only different in that Death didn't want anything until possessing someone.
 
A lot of dialogues between Solas and Cole refer to movies.  I can't identify all of them.  One of them is It's a Wonderful Life, though.

Thanks! I figured maybe the story was a movie, though I haven't seen that one. I miss all of his movie references, basically. I just thought it was cute that Solas asked Cole if he had any interest in women.

Curious thing is that the music playing in Val Royeaux is actually a bug, same as drums in Skyhold, as stated in this tread. So the fix for the banter bug produces another bug :lol:

Oh, lol. Yeah I'm getting the Skyhold drums now that I'm fast traveling out of the war table, too. Better than missing out on content, but still, it's damn annoying. Where's patch 3?

Regarding Reddit comparing the Solasmance to Twilight: There's not nearly enough endless hours of expressionlessly staring at each other for the Solas Romance to be considered even remotely like Twilight.

So. Whatever.

And when it comes to vampires, I'll take Alucard (SotN and LoD version), Angel, Beckett (V:TM), and even Lestat. Will more than happily leave the Twilight ones to the ladies who have a glitter and angst fetish.

 

pfft, I do NOT have a glitter an angst fetish XD

Actually, I'm pretty sure all of us do. :|

If you have Solas take the Peaceful Aura skill, he gets this halo of glowing when he's in combat. His romance doesn't lock in until he breaks up with you over angst about betraying his cause, and possible death of you later on.

 

If you like Fenris, well... He's a glowy elf who sometimes glistens (Isabela friend fiction, anyone?) and is terribly angsty over his self worth, memories returning during hot sex, and whether he actually deserves Hawke as a lover.

These items are the reason why I wish we had storage.  Or a shelf to display things on!

Granted, I have a fondness for twisty emotions and shiny things.  That said,I would actually argue the the Twilight romance is ultimately the opposite of angsty, b/c at the end, everything gets wrapped up in a nice, neat package.  Even if Lavellan ends up happy w/ Solas (a BIG if), that outcome will almost certainly be sullied with the suffering of others.  One is romantic, the other is Romantic.

I'm way behind on this forum (and it tells me new replies are being added even as I type), but did anyone confront Patrick Weekes regarding the Lady of the Forest's statement of 'being bound to the body of the dread wolf'?

 

The Dread Wolf...?

I thought I'd share my really deep and personal piece of my city elf struggling in Wycome. It was conceived during the Solas draw chat.

I've heard it in Val Royeaux too, I like to headcanon that Zevran's secretly doing some assassin work for Leliana on the sly, aside from the stuff on the war table that you know about.

 

It fits with Threnn's comment to a Qunari Inquisitor about "Leliana's hired oxmen" that implies that she was the one who hired your company and how she's the one who gets all the smugglers and whatnot, so it makes sense she's doing some underhanded stuff to help the Inquisition that we might not "officially" know about?

I think that, she said that as a blanketed statement about the wolf species in general, however, it would be deliciously interesting if it had more implication.  I'm sure someone else here, who's like WAY smarter than me, will ninja in and give you a detailed hypotheses regarding that dialogue.  ^_^

People seem to assume the Old Gods were either "keys" to the eluvians, or they were the ancient elven gods themselves.  I have a theory that instead, they were the chosen of the ancient elven gods--immortal elves who were allowed to take the form of the "divine," the dragon.

<snip>

 

I think the Anchor may be holding the Veil in place.

<snip>

 

I think I tossed this one around in the past, but I believe that the head of the ancient elven pantheon was not Elgar'nan, which even the ancient myths seems to suggest, but rather Mythal.

 

I really like your theory of the old gods as the chosen of the elven pantheon. If Morrigan drinks from the Well of Sorrows, she gains the ability to shapeshift into a dragon, so it seems plausible. Also it's possible Fen'Harel and Ghilan'nain weren't part of the original pantheon and so may not have the dragon ability or chosen followers, which would explain why there are only 7 old gods instead of 9.

 

Regarding the Anchor - hearing that name for the Mark bugged me the whole game! Dagna describes it as a key, someone else says it's like a like needle. Those things seem to make sense because in the game you are opening/closing rifts (like a key) and physically entering the Fade (needle through the Veil). But an Anchor? Anchor to what exactly? Not sure I'm sold on the Veil itself but if Cory used the term, it's got to mean something interesting.

 

As for Mythal leading the pantheon, I'm on board with that. The codex about the traitor who took on the form of the gods says:

The sinner belongs to Dirthamen; he claims he took wings at the urging of Ghilan'nain, and begs protection from Mythal. She does not show him favor, and will let Elgar'nan judge him.

 

She will let Elgar'nan judge him? It's possible Mythal was known for being the more merciful of the two, but still. If she wasn't leading, it seems like they are on equal footing at least.

Regarding trash items we can't bear to sell... I keep the Lover's Knots. So far I can't seem to get both the right and left half on a single character though.

And the Wolf totem. :) 

And I just today learned the easy way to skip it when selling my valuables. I used to just click and sell one by one, but if you have the desired item on top and press the down arrow to get to the next item, the game will ignore the top item and let you sell the ones underneath without re-choosing each one.

I think it was meant to mean "the dread wolf Witherfang", as Witherfang was once a normal (albeit highly vicious) wolf that Zathrian cursed to contain the Lady's essence, turning them both into something of an abomination?

 

It is interesting however that he's an albino wolf, which we repeatedly see in Solas' tarot cards?

Only in romance Tarot card. If not romanced, he totally gets the shadowy black 6 eyed wolf behind him.
