Quick question: how do you guys build Solas? I always level him (and all the companions) automatically and let the AI take it, for that reason he is generally a electricity and spirit mage. Dorian is fire, Viv is ice. Do you guys do it different?

 

I keep him spirit and electricity, mainly for his attachment to the Fade, and because lightning may cause fire...and my Lavellan is fire. 

 

Lol, well now you have my hopes as well! I just have a feeling that something isn't going to go right, but let's not face that ugly nightmare yet.

 

I hope because it's the only thing keeping me from being completely bitter over the whole thing. It honestly still hurts a great deal, and Solas pushing someone he cares so much about away kills me because that's what I've been doing during my depression. I relate to Solas on a few levels, especially the emotional ones, so I have to hope. I'm always afraid I'll jinx it.

Haha, exactly, very well put. But actually I find very troubling with this character: with all his intelligence, rationalisation etc. he also acts emotionally and somehow I have a feeling he does not allow himself to accept the decisions of his emotional part.

I mean... I am pretty sure the Great Betrayal started with emotions, probably raising anger on injustice in ancient Arlathan (speculating here), result: guilt and sorrow. Solavellan: definately he's torn apart, then he invests emotionally, then breaks up, result: even more torn apart, guilt and sorrow.

What I don't get is why such a smart person would not rationalize his emotions too and just... accept them and their consequences?

Okay, I feel like I maybe "get" him because I think that on an emotional level, he and I are pretty similar. Like, honestly. I feel extremely deeply... Which... Basically (from a psychological perspective) really means that my brain overshoots me with hormones/dopamine/adrenaline/what have you when I am presented with a stimulus that ellicits an emotional reaction (I majored in behavioral psychology. What do you want? Lol) So I have a harder time controlling my emotions because they are, in a sense, harder to control. Now obvuously I cannot give Solas an fMRI to see what is going on in there, but he does portray the same "Romulan trying to pretend he's a Vulcan" persona that I have, where most of the time he is cool, calm, collected, speaks intelligently... My husband says I come across as kind of arrogant, too, when I am like this... But present him with something he is passionate about, all bets are off. He just feels very deeply and has the tendency, in those times, to be more emotional and act more impulsively. And in the moment, I usually end up just saying "**** it, let me just have this emotion." Only to think back on it later and say "I wish I was a Vulcan." Sorry for the Star Trek analogies.

In other, non-Solas related news-- I am incredibly depressed right now. I just found out that my favorite boss is quitting and his last day is going to be Monday. I cried. He has not only been an amazing manager, he has also been a really good friend. I will miss him so much,

Ugh, I'm so way behind this thread.

 

Depressing over being rejected a psycholigical profiler job. So for now it's only books, games and drawing to do. I am miserable.

 

I've been thinking about Solas' attractivness. He's not handsome, not in a classic way, but it's all about his posture and voice (think Cumberbatch). And now I have this cross-concept of a DLC scene, something like last scene in Sherlock 2 season, with Lavellan as Watson, Solas as Sherlock, spiced with Ready to Do Anything and The Woman soundtrack. Wish I was a better artist...

 

Sorry... :/  Read some smut to feel better. 

 

Also, I agree.  Non-traditional attractiveness is a major go in my book.  Quirks are hot, brains are hot, pointy ears are hot.  Hot.

Aww *pats back* I would hug you but I'm sick right now, so I don't think that would really help you. I already knew that Solas left at the end of game, but I didn't know he broke up with you so I was still pretty distaught about it. However, I have mostly filled the void with my stories and books...non-smutty books.

The fact that you had to point that out indicates that they are VERY SMUTTY. XD

 

And thank you, I'll accept the hug anyway because I am getting sick as well. Most wonderful time of the year. >_>

Thanks! Already feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside

And yup, "brainy's the new sexy"

I go back and forth between using the auto level up and speccing my companions myself, depending on how lazy I feel. Generally I stick pretty close to his default spirit/electricity/rift mage path, although when I play a mage Inquisitor I change it up a bit to complement whatever skills I'm giving them. One thing I like to do is get Dispel pretty early, since I find it helpful for rift battles - I'm crap at positioning my party, so it's handy to be able to get rid of a demon spawn or two.

[panamakira]

But have you gone over to join a group that for some reason actually posts last names?

Just caught up.

 

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS I JUST FLAILED ALL OVER THE PLACE

This is so cute! And I just realized how HUGE his hands are compared to hers. xD 

 

Alright @Colonel....I just started a male Lavellan for Cass (cuz ya. Got a big ole lady crush on her ). So! Sorry for this being off topic (but last time I asked a question in the Cass thread, it took almost a day for it to be answered ), but how do I make sure Cass doesn't end up Divine. If she does regardless, then I will have no one else to blame but Samhal Lavellan (assuming you may know how to avoid. )

Here is the man in question (BFF's with Solas already )

TY in advance.

(and to keep it relevant....)

Your Male Lavellan is so handsome!  Makes me want to remake mine.

 

@Birdy: Thank you so much for all those fanfics you've linked! I'm gonna start reading them.

@AryBoBary: NICE! I love how innocent that page looks. Oh look a "Book Club" with pretty elves in the cover. My kind of place.   

 

Seeing the hot Quizzy Elf on the previous page made me want to try making one. I made him just for my boo Dorian and it's literally my first attempt but my headcannon is strong with this one. I swear I didn't make him just so I could look at two hot dudes making out. Yep~ 

 

 

Bonus: Solas Bromance. He "Slightly" approves.

 

 

Bonus: Solas eating my Lavellan's face. ELVEN GLORY!

speaking a while back about male lavellans:

 

Mine talks to every other person in skyhold like if he has a huge crush on them and looks at them like that...Especially Solas. It was so awkward and funny at the same time, but after this, I'm pretty sure him and solas are butt buddies.

Now I feel the need to represent for a not-elf.  Dorian-mancing Adaar, away!

 

 

Also, did anyone else find it easier to make guys than girls in the new CC?  I swear, I spent hours on my Lavellan, and all of 20 minutes on this dude.

[panamakira]

YES bring me some Qunari love. I'm about to attempt a female Qunari because it's the playthrough I've been waiting since before DA:I came out. I find it hard to make dudes actually and for girls, I feel like I make them all the same so I take forever in CC.
