Ah, I'd forgotten that letter. Forced myself to forget more like.
Good think you clicked on that link because you must SUFFER WITH ME now
Between Solas and Fenris...I'm not sure who is more tragic ridden....especially now that Hawke has somehow disappeared/left in the fade...
Now I'm replaying the Witcher and that's tedious, too, since I had just replayed both games before my hard drive crashed and I lost my saves.
But I can't wait until Witcher 3 comes out. That's taking the edge off anticipation for DAI DLC. Then I also remember that Bethesda could announce Fallout 4 at any moment and drop a nuclear bomb on my game expectations. No pun intended.
Oh, thanks for reminding me. I still have to play Witcher 1 before the new one comes out. I only had an xbox before, time to catch up! Release is May though, right? So I'll probably wait until March or April...
I thought my second PT would be quick and enjoyable. I only do quests until I have enough powers to unlock the main quests. But even that annoys me right now. I think I'll go back to Mass Effect first. I have yet to experience all the DLC I refused to buy for years. Finally caved in when a friend got them and started babbling about how great some of them are. DAI put that new PT on hold.
I read this a few hours ago.
This has been an emotional day.

Ha! It was Hawke vs. Stroud for me, thankfully. Stache had to go
I NEED SOLAS NOW

In my worldstate with Solas and Lavellan, Zev and Fenris are both unromanced, reasonably stable, very much alive, and I guess wandering Thedas being badasses and murdering people. I console myself with the knowledge that if Solas is just a trainwreck of tears in the end, there is plenty of hot single elven patooty in that worldstate.
I agree. That's why I loved the DA elves. They seem more grounded. BW seems to be swinging the other way though because Solas and def. Abelas are riding the haughty-elf trope train all the way to Mirkwood. So if we get any others in the pantheon pops up, I look forward to rolling my eyes at the "Your culture is garbage and look at how amazing we are even though we've driven ours into the ground." speech.
Hahaha. Yeah. But I find I don't mind it as much in DA because in this case the time of the ancient elves is very obviously over. Their civilization is dead and gone, which entitles them to a bit of grumpiness.
And Solas is a weird mix of prideful and self-deprecating, which I find quite endearing. He usually realizes when he's being a bit of an ass and apologizes. He's also very aware of the fact that he's f*cked more sh*t up than anyone else in the Inquisition. Possibly more than anyone else in the world. 
I think that's what makes me like him, despite appearing similar to the Haughty Elf Trope. He's not infallible, and he will quite readily tell you that he isn't. Haughty Elves are usually aloof and Too Good For You, but Solas doesn't place himself above anybody else. He only gives praise when he truly means it, but also doesn't hold it back when he feels like it's been earned. All in all, he seems very secure in who he is, and doesn't feel the need to prove himself to anybody. But he's still deeply empathetic and compassionate. He's also not untouchable. He gets angry, lonely, flustered. He wants to connect with people but also finds it difficult to trust others. He's admirable, but flawed.

Yeah my cannon pt was loghain a goner...but at the end in the epilogue it states:
"What becomes of Hawke/Loghain/Stroud/Alistair is unknown – save that all news out of Weisshaupt soon ends.
Does the sudden silence indicate a battle within... or something far worse?"
That doesn't fly with me at all...why can't anyone be happy in Thedas??????

Random question: is anyone else kind of burned out after only one PT? I put my second on hold after arriving at Skyhold to play something else (Murdered: Soul Suspect). Now I'm done with that and thinking about tackling another one of my Steam games I never had the time to play until I broke my foot.
I REALLY want to get the Cassandra romance going and I haven't seen Morrigan's son yet, but somehow I can't motivate myself.

Oh yeah, it was mostly a light comment. *out of likes*
Solas - as you say - is much more complicated and his minor haughtiness is really borne out of sadness. The world is so alien to him and he feels so guilty. The writers did a good job making me empathize with him.
Even Abelas who's about 1000x more rude, you can't help but feel bad for him after he gives his gloomy speech at the well. Then he just sort of pitifully walks away into a world he has no understanding of whatsoever. UGH. Make me cry more emo elves.
I dunno if this has been said or asked before, and I don't feel like plowing through 2900 (!) pages, thank you very much, but:
When you take Solas to the Temply of Mythal he has a short dialogue with Abelas about 'others such as themselves'.
Is there anything that's known about these others?
There is not.
There is not.
Well.. I've gone through two complete PTs in DAI. Female mage Lavellan for Solas the very first PT and Female human dagger rogue for Collen the second. I started another female mage Lavellan for Solas to try and get all the stuff I missed in my first PT but I stopped right before Coryfish attacks Haven and decided to wait for DLC so I made a female Qunari mage for Iron Bull but I got bored really fast. Qunari are just no fun for me.
Then I decided to play ME again and romanced Garrus. I killed Kaidan so I wouldn't be tempted but I really don't like Ash..so I started playing it again to romance Kaidan and kill Ash. I'm in the middle of ME2 now..romancing Thane while I wait for Kaidan to stop being an arse.
Then..you all started talking about Mods for DAO...so I stopped playing ME and now I'm playing a heavily modded DAO... female elf mage who had a thing for Cullen but and then met Alistair and fell in love with him instead. I'm planning on keeping him a Grey Warden this time since I've always make him king in my other PTs.
I'm rambling I know you all don't care..lol. My laptop is pissing me off though..either all those mods are upsetting it or my lappy is just being an arse. It keeps crashing the game...grrr!!!
Between Solas and Fenris...I'm not sure who is more tragic ridden....especially now that Hawke has somehow disappeared/left in the fade...
I'd say Fenris, personally. Solas has been through hell, but it was a different kind of hell. Solas has suffered, but he's always had freedom and control over his own life. He's always had pride and fortitude. As far as we know, no one has ever commanded him. Even when he's been backed into a corner, like he was with Corypheus, he found ways to keep going. He's capable of being autonomous, even if he longs for companionship.
Fenris doesn't have any of that to fall back on. His life wasn't his own, and he's just learning how to stand. If you take away the things that ground him, he doesn't have anything left. If I remember right, if you send him back to the slavers he's basically broken at your betrayal.
I don't think I could ever leave Hawke in the fade if those two romanced one another. Fenris needs some spot of happiness.

No. But there's no a hint now and a good chance that not every elf from arlathan was wiped out. it could be other guardians of temples that survived - so like abelas and crew. or just places that other elves were able to hide and live a life apart.
I'm taking after Sable today and breaking everyone's hearts. Tomorrow it'll be Killabee's turn.

No way. Killabee owes us smut.

Not done lightly, I can tell you that.
