I've always wondered if the story of Fen'Harel emprisoning the gods isn't another thing the Dalish got wrong. Maybe Solas was trying to protect them from something/someone and the time to break the barriers is close. He needs to open the portals and he needs his key for it. Maybe the Dread Wolf wasn't walking the Fade hunting for prey but trying to guard his people...his fear of dying alone would make more sense if he didn't exactly chose to imprison his people and having to take care of them would make his break-up with Lavellan more meaningful.

 

I'm a bit silly.

 

That's not silly at all  . If there's anything we've learned from DA:I, it's that history is fallible, and Dalish legends especially so. And we're all just bumping theories around here.

 

I'm still not sure where I stand on this particular issue actually. On the one hand, he doesn't have a high opinion of the pantheon, so he could have just locked them out of spite, especially if some them were responsible for Mythal's murder. On the other hand, he really misses what once was, and he feels a lot of guilt for what he's done, so it can't have been all hate.

 

But I still don't see how setting the gods free can be of benefit to anyone but themselves. They're likely mad and vengeful at this point, and relatively weak. I'm hedging my bets on Solas planning to either preserve that prison, or looking for a way to acquire their godhood without setting them free, or acquiring whatever legendary weapon he used to pit the pantheon and the Forgotten Ones against each other.

edit: It sounds like Solas to me. He's right below our dear Spymaster and he's probably always a bit on edge, trying to be aware of his surroundings...makes sense he'd be more alert than others, no?

That actually makes a lot of sense especially with the Cole banter where Cole says "You didn't do it to be right, you did it to save them". I really think that all of what happened back in the day with Solas/Fen'Harel and the other elven gods is a fairly intricate and grey story.

[flabbadence]

I wonder if Solas's plan with the Orb after Coryflora charges it for him is the same as his plan with Flemythal's power post-epilogue.

I think the Orb was involved in the sealing of the Creators as well. If it just required you to open up an Eluvian, the Creators were pros at that. But a foci specifically attuned to a god outside of there...I think the Creators had a lot of reasons for cutting each other off from potential power sources.

 

This bit though. I'm still wondering whether the orbs are in fact theirs, as in they made it and/or it's attuned to them, or if they just claim it as theirs. Because if we look at Fen'Harel's orb, anyone can use it, provided they have sufficient power to do so. So maybe the gods just found it one day and that's how they became gods, or it was Mythal and Elgar'nan who made it and they just bestowed it upon them.

 

*sigh* We can't really know right now.

Happy valentines everyone!

I just listened to it again on headphones, and now it does sound like Solas  . On my laptop speakers, it just sounds like some random guard on patrol

I am kinda annoyed that I have no save games right before it happens. I really wanna see what happens if you say that it's you and Sera up there.

Happy Valentines day Solasmancers!

 

I bring cakes:

I like to think that the Creators have Skype and have been psychoanalyzing each other since they have nothing but each other for company. I imagine it's been a learning experience, and they've all grown in maturity and loving friendship, like Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit.

Guys.

 

Someone on Tumblr brought this up:

Ack, I can't find images at this moment, but the image there actually looks extremely similar to concept art for the Well of Sorrows. It looks like a mash up of about two or three different concept arts that're shown in the art book. I don't want to crush any ones theories, but there's a good chance it's just some old concept art for the Well they wanted to show off.

[Maria13]

I think Solas is  left handed, since he always seem to put armor on his left arm ._. 

 

Interesting observation. In what hand does he hold his staff?

[Elven_Glory]

Ummm... so, I wrote a thing. I humbly present it to you. It's on google drive right now because I don't really have anywhere else to put it for the moment.

I'm not sure I'm that great of a writer, but... my brain has these thoughts sometimes and they need to go somewhere.

 

Anyway, I thought it made for sort of a nice Valentine's Day type story if you're into that sort of thing.

 

Sorry about the adverbs. I'll try to clean it up a bit tomorrow.

First, Happy Valentines Day!!!

Second, glory, I'll have to read your story when I get back up as I'm going back to bed, but I'm excited.

Third, I don't know if any of you tweet but Greg Ellis and some of the Cullen fans are legit losing their collective shits over on twitter which is worth checking out for various reasons. Its very dramatic.

Fourth, I love this thread, I love you guys, and I am just really grateful that you guys let me hang out here with all of your awesome, smart, amazing selves.

What on earth is going on? I'm just seeing posts about not discussing the Greg Ellis thing. 

[CapricornSun]

It still doesn't sound like Solas to me, but maybe he responds if you don't run.

 

Huh. Now I'm tempted to play along with Sera until that point just to hear him talk.

I am kinda annoyed that I have no save games right before it happens. I really wanna see what happens if you say that it's you and Sera up there.

 

It is Solas. This is what happens when you don't run away (around the 3 min mark). The Inquisitor does say Solas' name.

Hmm maybe they deleted it? I looked at Greg posts directly.

I think as usual Gregs loose lips on Twitter got him in trouble. I didn't read too deep but I think maybe he referred to a woman as a ho? Or something. And then I guess that angered all of the feminist Cullen fans. One or two wouldn't let it go.

You can understand how easily that would have blown up.

Don't mind me...Skipping to the end

I have seen signs of upsetness on Twitter and then Twitter decided to send me an email with some random stuff people had posted about it. I honestly have no idea whats going on and am not sure I care to dig in order to find out. Blanket fort for life!

[Avejajed]

Oh dear...

Can't say I'm not glad to have switched camps. It doesn't seem like a happy place over there. I'll stick with us and our Cozy forts.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY. I bring you giggles instead of tears.

EDIT: Find it on my tumblr!

 

Damnit BSN, this is not the time to be out of likes!

Are you referring to the temple in the middle of a lake?

I saw some Greg Ellis chaos over on Tumblr too. Something about someone using the female dog word, and Cullen fans being overprotective of Ellis. I didn't dig through the issue though

*just imagine I put the perfect picture of Ottomans with ridiculously fluffy and fashionable beards and Solas-hats manning a blanket fort in the middle of an Istanbul street*

[Avejajed]

Now I want liz to draw us all in our blanket fort in a comic with all of our likenesses all huddled together crying and clutching copies of our game. And the guys are in the other corner trying not to look bothered. Lol.

I second this motion!

 

But wow. There've been a lot of people who've posted throughout this thread.

Put me in the girl's corner, Liz. I'm not looking forward Solas breaking it off with my Lavellan. (Poor Killabee, all alone.  )

For a reference, 6'1, bearded, apparently with hunter green eye-shadow and an Ottoman hat?
