Yeah...I don't mind killing things that attack me first...but I hate killing the dragons that are just minding their own business. I've always hated killing dragons in video games...all animals actually.  I can kill people all day long...but I hate killing animals....except spiders. All spiders must die!!! 

 

But, but

Same here; with high approval Vivienne feels even a bit motherly, which fitted my Lavellan that I headcanon as pretty young. If she ever looked up to someone to learn navigating her new position, it was definitely Vivienne. Her being a hunter, Solas was more an advisor on issues she didn't know about than a true mentor.

I also dislike the hahren-da'len dynamics. I can see that it can appeal to some people, but I prefer relationships on equal terms. Even taking into account the huge difference in age and knowledge, Lavellan is a pretty amazing and powerful woman capable of many feats; in Solas own words, she handles everything with a subtlety and wisdom beyond her mortal condition. So I'd rather picture them as equals, at least in their relationship.


I don't think it "appeals" to me as much as doesn't bother me. Don't they call each other those terms in-game? I could be remembering wrong but I'm almost sure she refers to him as haharen early, and she da'len at skyhold. But regardless I don't care what people put in ff because that's their business, I don't have to read it.

So... there's more ancient elves roaming Thedas, not only Solas?


I think Solas words to Abelas about a "place you can go" imply as much. Maybe there's a place where surviving ancient elves gather; like Elvhen Chillout and Brunch Club :P

I take a break from the forums for a weekend and find out that have announced DLC with no further information... Don't know whether to be excited or remain in the same frame of mind since they won't say what the dlc is about....

Come on Wolf Hunt ;)

I don't mind killing the dragons because they eat my soldiers and stuff.

My Trevelyan was all over the political machinations. It was something she understood, even if she did like her sword better than court intrigue. my lavellan is more intersted in protecting what Dalish there are left, so a little chaos among the Shems suits her fine. she didn't even recruit Viv.

I'm like 100000 percent sure any important story DLC will be last.

I, for one, will be thrilled to death for a black emporium DLC. Preferably with some new hair.I think that's more likely anyway.

I'm also 10000 percent sure whatever the first DLC will be is already done, besides bug fixes and stuff. Just going through QA and getting business done with Microsoft and EA.

I'll let you guys know how it is though. Heee. *owns an xbox one*

That's the thing though. Solas and Lavellan never referred to each other as hahren and da'len in my playthrough, so when I finished the game and went scrounging for fics, I was like, where did that come from? I'm not into teacher/student or elder/innocent relationships either (they squick me out a little actually). It's pretty sad that I can't enjoy fics like Apotheosis though, since a lot of people say it's a great read.

I remember trying to kill the dragon in Hissing Waste. It was minding its own business before I came close, and halfway during the battle its dragonlings came to attack me. I felt so guilty wracking a family............

A bunch of ancient people gathering... this makes me picture an old English tea room in some coastal resort where you can have those little cakes with your sweetened afternoon tea and... no, disregard that. That is ridiculous. Solas does not like tea.

Might even be the reason why Abelas kindly refused.

That scene is just so stupid. If she thinks my character is petty enough to even give a damn, then she hasn't learned a thing about her.

I don't do the Orlesian politics quests at the war table because screw the Game, we've got better things to do. So yeah. I'm not set up to be able to do anything with either Sera or Vivienne. They're benchwarmers.

 

Oh I was so angry when Viv moved my furniture around. I'm sure my inquisitor Abaeni wouldn't have cared, but I as the player was sooooo angry. 

 

I might have some ocd tendencies... but keep your bloody hands off my stuff! It's in it's place for a reason!

But if things in it are things that would squick you out, it wouldn't be a great read for you. Thems the breaks, I guess.

Imagine if every author took out the things in their novel that offended someone: Harry Potter took out magic? Gone with the Wind took out slavery?

Wow it's amazing. Dark, but gorgeous.

Oh don't misunderstand me, I don't read ff, I learned about it here; it's like banters between Solas and Sera: I don't have to put up with them, but I read them on the thread and didn't like them. It's not that I'm terribly annoyed by the hahren-da'len thing, it's just an idea I don't like.

They call each other that in one of the first conversations in Haven, but I don't recall them ever using those terms after that.

Wouldn't mind at least a hair color changer ;). And storage for runes/upgrade pieces.

I could misremember, I thought he called her Da'len after coming to skyhold with high enough approval. Maybe it was Lethalin or whatever, I forget what that means.

But I'm sure he'd love the cakes! Also I'm certain that's why Abelas refused: Solas forgot to tell him about the cakes.

I think Solas is projecting is self-hatred onto the Dalish, and he feels closer to Sera because they share that self-hatred.

Well said. I agree. He gets angry with the Dalish for being stuck in the past but he's the same way. He too wallows in his self-pity in a way, in his guilt. What's done is done. No point crying about the past, there is no going back for anybody. What the elves lost can probably never be reclaimed. Not even by The Dread Wolf. Sera knows and accepts it. Solas envies her for being able to just let go and make do with the cards she's been dealt.

 

 

*snip*

 

That's why I can't be too harsh on her for her post-mythal freakout. That entire chain of events just pushed so many buttons for her, that I think she was having a bit of a panic attack. As she said, if she accepts that the elven gods are real, then that brings the existence of the Maker into question. And if there's no Maker, then there's no afterlife, and this is all there is, which is her greatest fear. 

 

*snip*

That's what I thought at first too. But might be more than that. Everybody is equal under the Maker. She's not nothing to the Maker. She gets accepted for who she is as a follower of Andraste. It doesn't matter if she's an elf or human or something in between. If the Maker is not real but the elven gods are, then she is a failure again. The biggest failure and fool of them all.
