Tutorial on how to romance both Solas and Cullen on the same save

[Sable Rhapsody]

Same here. I like DAI, but after three and a half playthroughs I'm getting a little burned out. I just fired up Neverwinter Nights and plan to replay the two expansions, Shadows of the Undertide and Hordes of the Underdark. 

 

I loved those games.  Dat Valen Shadowbreath.  The way he says, "Yes, my love?"  *swoons eternally*

[Moirin]

So while we wait for DLC (hopefully a Wolf Hunt or Fall of Arlathan one), what are you guys playing besides Inquisition?

 

I think am at a point where the canon Lavellan I'm currently playing will be my last playthrough. I have two other finished ones.

At least until we get more DLC. I feel a bit burned out playing the game but then again, I'm not one to do more than 2-3 playthroughs per game. 

 

I still have Divinity: Original Sin to finish (pretty good game so far) and Dark Souls II (which apparently indicates I love to suffer). I'm also trying to finish Baldur's Gate, which for a much older games is pretty good if not flippin' impossible at times. I also have on the horizon The Witcher 3, which I'm excited about and probably Bloodborne and FF Type-O HD sound promising.

 

I've got Pokemon Sapphire to get started on....

I'm not quite burned out on Inquisition myself. It's not the feverish need I had the first month or so, but I still look forward to wandering the Emerald Graves with Solas and desperately fleeing the horde of giants on my beloved Deth-Nug.

Um...I play a lot of games and tend to jump quickly between them in no particular order. So:

Rome II: Total War: Does this surprise anyone? 

Europa Universalis IV: My daily rage-quits over France's doomy stacks of doom aside, I enjoy struggling to survive in the Early Modern Period.  Currently I'm trying to have Brandenburg>Prussia>Germany to test out the new Art of War expansion, because it includes the Thirty Years' War. And I apparently hate myself. 

Crusader Kings II: I will have vengeance on the Pope, in this life or the next. William the Conqueror didn't deserve excommunication, dude! Why should the Pope have a say in who becomes a bishop? That's clearly the king's job! 

Shadows of Mordor: A very good action game. It's bizarrely entertaining to coax a scrawny, weak, cowardly Uruk to the top of the food chain. It's even better when you stumble across the most badass Uruk of them all, and he's at the bottom of it for some inexplicable reason. Then it's less coaxing and more pointing out who he should overthrow next.

Baldur's Gate: The Enhanced Edition, since I didn't know about the existence of GOG.com at the time. I, um...I really, really suck. But I enjoy it. It's just that the, er, kobolds of Nashkel are a little too much for me at the moment...

Knights of the Old Republic: Nostalgia, lightsabers, HK-47, and the Ebon Hawk. It's interesting going back to see how my opinions have changed. I used to swing between mild dislike and mild affection for Carth. Now he's one of my favorites.

Star Wars: Empire at War: I just rediscovered this disc in my pile. The space battles are glorious. I've been told that making nothing but Star Destroyers isn't necessarily the best idea, but it's mostly worked so far. The land battles are occasionally...questionable.

 

I am also currently rocking back in forth in excitement over The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt and Attila: Total War. I will of course be playing as the Romans/Ostrogoths, but I'm tempted to try out the Huns and set out destroy every empire and call the savefile ColonelKillabee in his honor.

So I have a question for y'all because I love seeing other people's Lavellans and their stories.

 

How did your Lavellans adjust to being part of (and eventually leading) the human-centric Inquisition?  How did they handle things like religion, cultural assimilation (if any), homesickness, etc.  It's a topic I find interesting because of all the PCs, Lavellan strikes me as the most fish out of water, and the game's prologue unfortunately didn't have time to address it.

 

My Lavellan, Clariel, was scared as f*** at first.  She didn't hate or fear humans in general, but being surrounded by a bunch of unfamiliar faces while the world was ending was not a good way to start.  It's part of why she spent so much time with Solas; for all his grumping at the Dalish, it's natural to gravitate to anything remotely familiar in that situation.  She spent a lot of time at Haven reading and absorbing as much knowledge about her new world as possible.  Learning helped her get her bearings, and definitely held the fear at bay.

 

By the time they got to Skyhold, she'd become very fond of the people in the Inquisition.  After she started seeing them less as strangers and more as friends, she adjusted pretty readily apart from minor quirks (feeling out-of-place in the fancy Inquisitor's quarters, having servants and staff, etc.)  Somewhere around Halamshiral, she started realizing she could never really go back.  She loves her family and her clan, but she can't just up and leave, even after Corypheus is defeated.  Some things still make her really upset and uncomfortable: the whole Herald of Andraste thing, the way the Orlesians fetishize her people, occasional bouts of missing her parents and cousins (especially after Solas leaves).

sorry that song just popped in my head i'm so sorry oh god now i have feels

THAT IS THE FIRST SONG ON MY SOLAVELLAN PLAYLIST.





It's so perfect.

ENYA! I love her music. That song is so perfect for Solavellan. Ugh, now I want to play this song on my piano over and over to help with the feels. Damn work.

Pretty much the same thoughts here. While definitely feeling more than a bit strange, Solas really is her anchor in the fact that it helps her widen her horizon and understand that the world is a much bigger place, with very real and tangible threats. As the Inquisition grows, so do her views on worldly politics and appreciation (and maybe a little distaste in some instances....looking at you, orlesians) for various cultures and races.

Coming to terms with the fact that there is no absolute truth and sometimes people bend history for their interest or simply get it wrong is also hard to swallow, but it is something that must be done.

Majora's Mask comes out in a few days; I'll be playing that. Hopefully there will be some word on some DAI DLC by the time I'm done with it

 

If not, I'll probably try out Shadows of Mordor.

Spoilered for size: and OMG THANK THE MAKER FOR AUTO SAVED CONTENT

 

FemLavellan:

 

Spoiler

(this isn't my Lavellan because I never took any screenshots, but very similar looking)

 

Ellana is a typical Dalish rogue who had never really questioned her beliefs until the Keeper asked her to spy on the Shems' conclave. Not really understanding the motive she went anyways. Of course **** went down and waking up as a prisoner she was terrified and especially intimidated by Cassandra, but she never showed it. She kept silent during her interrogation, she didn't want them to see how terrified she actually was. All the events leading up to returning to Haven she tried to adapt and remain composed. She realized that she had been thrown into something involuntarily but decided that helping the Inquisition would be helping the clan indirectly. She tried not to get too close to anyone out of caution. That is until the first chat with Solas. He was so calming (and smooth as ****) she fell for him almost instantly. 

 

Also her indentity as a Dalish had been changed alot. All this talk of Andraste and being chosen actually made her believe she was (much to her disappointment later on). She became especially changed after the Haven attack. She knew what needed to be done and didn't hesitate to do it. She felt invincible (especially with Solas at her side) and she was very confident and sure about everything...up until their break up. She took it really hard. Especially him telling her "Harden your heart to a cutting edge, and use it in the fight against Corypheus." And harden her heart she did. She became a bit of a tyrant (especially since I didn't do any of the judgements until after the break up) and was very stand offish with even her closest friends. After defeating Cory she remain composed around everyone, but in secret she is extremely vulnerable and broken. Sera and her shenanigans keep her amused sometimes but she remains an empty shell. 

 

 

Male Lavellan: I had posted before, but in less detail.

Mahanon was always rebellious. He hated living in his clan and always found ways to annoy them and his keeper. One day while hunting with others they were attacked by demons and abominations from a rebel mage group summoning ritual that went very wrong. Having never experienced such a thing, it remains as a very anti-mage focus of his. He and the Keeper's first got into a lot of fights (physical and verbal) after that. The keeper was only too happy to send him to spy on the Shems. After being captured he demanded to be released. Who were these Shems to think they could treat him as such? After learning about the anchor and what it does, it sort of went to his head. He became more and more self-entitled as time went on. He began to see how manipulative his title really was and used it as leverage to get what he wanted (such as the events at Halamshiral and putting Gaspard on the throne), that is until he really met Cassandra. At first she was sort of a goal of his, to see if he could "win" her, but after finding out he had real feelings for her, it softened him up as a person. He became less focused on himself and more about others. In the end, defeating Cory showed him that being a hero required strength, as well as humility.

Lysaris is a rather adventurous sort. She's read all sorts of human tales (she's got a real penchant for reading, and human books are the most accessible) and has spent much time reflecting on what an adventure of her own might look like. The inquisition is nothing like what she had imagined her adventure to be. She isn't scared, really, but she does go through a certain amount of culture shock, despite having been so well read on the topic of human (because it's one thing to read about something and an entirely different thing to experience it). She develops a kinship with Solas and tries to with Sera (until she realizes that Sera is an elf in name only) because their faces are familiar and, until she finds her barrings, that brings her some comfort. Eventually, she finds her role in the Inquisition to be something like the service she provided in her clan, but on a much grander scale (ie: security detail and protection from outsiders) though she never really considers herself a leader, the way everyone else seems to. In her mind, she's just trying to keep them safe, the way she did her clan. She begins to accept her inner circle as a kind of pseudo-clan, a makeshift family, which helps the pangs of homesickness subside. She still misses her brother, though, and wonders when she will see him again, if ever...

Seriously. This is my favorite thread on BSN. The worst argument I saw here was like two carebears bumping bellies. "You wanna piece of me, Gentleheart? Huh? HUH?" Then it all ended in tears and hugs. Beautiful

 

Hallo! And can I just say, this is the most adorably hilarious image ever?

 

Solas thread, why all the scary/sad things today? Not even going to comment on Mr. Weeke's laughter tweet. Fingers in ears *lalalala*

 

I hope whoever wrote this is working on a much longer story because their writing style is fantastic. Also w-why would you link that?! 

 

That's by loquaciousquark, who is, in my opinion, the best Fenris/Hawke writer ever, and my favorite fanfic author of all time. She has lots of long fics and drabbles, found on her AO3, FF.net, and Tumblr accounts. I recommend starting with In Salt and Gold or Were We Not Called or White Blank Page or... ok I love everything she's ever written, I recommend them all

My Lavellan was basically a wildchild and a brat. She ran away from home rather than stay and get married and pop out elf mage babies to be traded away, and then fell into all this trouble. It took some time for her to adjust to things some humans take for granted, like sleeping on a mattress (too soft for her) or eating everyday human food (which was richer than what she's used to). I've headcanoned that Solas notices that she picks at her food, and tells Josephine to have the cooks make simpler dishes for her. 

 

I've also headcanoned that she finally gets fed up with EVERYBODY bashing the Dalish, and eventually just loses her temper. Like "I'm trying really hard to learn all your customs will you guys STFU about how you hate mine?????"

Mine did too.  Her actual family is pretty small: parents, aunt, two cousins, and that's pretty much it in terms of close relations.  She's been taught to see everyone she cares about as family, and as the circle of her empathy grows, she starts to see the Inquisition as a sort of extended clan with her as its Keeper.  They follow her, she protects them, and by the end she's a pretty fierce mama bear about it too

Mine takes to some human food but *hates* their sweets.  Especially the frilly Orlesian cakes that Solas loves.  He always winds up stealing her dessert.
