I am not so sure. Yes, it is grief of course, but that's the shallow answer. Not everybody goes on a killing spree when grieving. I felt he could not understand their mistake was ignorance, fear, weakness. He would not act like that (probably) and he sees himself as the moral authority, the one being able to decide what is good or evil. I felt that was why he acted like that, because he decided they had been evil and decided they deserved death. That's pride for me, not being able to step back and look at a situation through the eyes of somebody else.

After the Dread Wolf revelation, what always struck me about that scene was him going, "Not again."

He's lived and walked through the Fade for at least eight thousand years. He must have had thousands of spirit friends over those thousands of years. And he's seen most of them corrupted and die. Just like the Creators were twisted and imprisoned.

I think Wisdom's fall thanks to the ignorance and arrogance of these petty shemlen trying to survive for a few more years was the straw that broke the camel's back. Stupid mortals that know nothing of spirits or the Fade, but claiming to be experts and lecturing a god on arcane knowledge. They brought Wisdom into the world to protect them from other mages as small-minded as themselves. But they achieved nothing. Wisdom's perversion and death served no purpose, not even base survival. It's a lifetime of grief and wrath wrapped up in a Kirkwall package.

Ahaha, thats one word for it XD Their accent is perfect for the most badass of metal. This is my personal fantasy for Solas, lol. Non sexual. Though the idea of Pride demon/god Solas does give me chills. I'm sure if I were a chick, it'd be the hot kind.

 

It's even got a full moon reference. Enter, Dread Wolf!

You guys, I have something VERY interesting to share with you all. That is assuming this hasn't come up in this thread before (but, I don't think it has).

 

Did any of you Solasmancers notice a blip of light flash on your screens right before the epilogue (Solas & Flemeth) of the game? This is something I think is strictly shown to those who romance Solas because the first time I played, I romanced Cullen and didn't see this bizarre little post-credits blip.

 

Anyway, someone on Tumblr recorded this blip and was able to take a screen capture of what it was, although it was very dark and had to be lightened a bit in Photoshop. Check under the cut for the image. (The Tumblr post is here)

 

Spoiler

 

Now, what does this look like to you all? To the Tumblr blogger who posted it, she knew it was her Female Lavellan and it looks like she's entering the area where we end up seeing Solas meeting with Flemeth. The name of the location is possibly called The Way of Three Trees, a place known to the Dalish due to its Elven origin. But, I could be wrong about the name and it's not super important.

 

If this is not actually some glitch, and I don't believe it is, then it means OUR LAVELLAN WENT AFTER SOLAS AND WITNESSED HIM KILLING FLEMETH. O_O

 

Here's another reason to believe this scene is not just a random glitch. Another Tumblr user happened to comment on this blog post and said that she remembered reading data-mining developer notes indicating that Morrigan was supposed to witness the scene where Fen'Harel would take Flemeth's life. Read that here. I wish I could find the actual developer notes, instead of just what one Tumblr user claims to have read about, but it's a start. It doesn't sound made up, but you never know....

 

Basically, this blip, which lasts all of .01 seconds is SUPER suggestive of a lot of things! First, a Lavellan who romanced Solas somehow found out where he went to, perhaps because Morrigan brought her as she apparently always knows where he runs off to. Why we see Lavellan alone in the image and not with Morrigan is kind of strange, but maybe it's to keep us from getting confused as to who is who if we ever happen to see this scene at all. It's really an Easter Egg not meant to be seen by most players, anyway. You would recognize the silhouette of your own Inquisitor.

 

Second, this suggests that Lavellan witnesses what Solas is doing in the epilogue, meaning SHE KNOWS HE'S THE DREAD WOLF. She saw and heard everything because this happens just before the epilogue. I can't even imagine what this could mean for the future DLC or games, or whatever. This really is incredible..........  :o

Is it possible that it's just a loading thing?
Before cinematics, I frequently have a flash like that with the characters standing awkwardly in the middle of the cutscene for a split-second, before the cinematic remembers we're not supposed to see that and kicks in.

Could someone with more knowledge of video game programming come to the rescue? :P

I think I did notice the flash, but I assumed it was just the game dropping us in the general location for the sake of the camera or something.

 

But if it doesn't happen on other romance paths, then I'm suspicious now too. XD

 

Edit: A top post? I suppose this calls for a Solas. Have a line-art I did a month ago for the kmeme.

Of course, the issue could be that it's a glitch, which I mentioned is a possibility. But, I don't think it happens for everyone's playthroughs. Although, finding that out for SURE would be very helpful. If it only happens when a Lavellan romances Solas, then it can't just be a glitch.

What about a lavellan that breaks up with him first?

Woah, that is very strange and very cool that people were able to discover it! But I don't think it is intended to mean anything. It would have been a lot clearer if they had intended Lavellan [or any of the Inquisitors] to witness the events unfolding. There's no way they would be that subtle with such a major thing. 

 

Screen flashes can happen for a lot of reasons. A more likely possibility is the game is fighting with itself when it switches over Solas's card to the tower, but romanced Lavellan has some string of code that goes: 'no, don't do that'.

I did his romance on my x-box 360 playthrough. and I finished the game earlier this morning, and I don't re-call seeing a blip? Could also be what Mims said, It's something to force the card change, perhaps.

My Lavellan would probably not be interested in Abelas. She will probably be single for a very long time. She's not really interested in moving on. I mean getting used to being single, yes, but she wasn't looking for the relationship with Solas and she's certainly not going to start going around looking for romance now that he's gone. She's just not the type.

Am I the only one who doesn't want their Lavellan to do Abelas? :lol: He's great but I hope he finds love elsewhere! Unless I play a Lavellan that romanced nobody. Then she can get with him without all the Solas rebound stuff.

 

No you aren't the only one. I think Abelas is cute and yes those thighs...but my Lavellan loves Solas very much it would take an eternity for her to get over him.  :P

 

 

That brings back a bad memory. I love that Disney movie I wanted it when it came out on VHS but my mother got this Hans Christian Anderson version where the mermaid dies at the end....that was the first and last time I watched that movie.  :mellow:

Yup. Picture's named "What Context" for a reason; OP on the kmeme wanted to see them make out, and didn't care how or why. I decided to draw it rather than write it to get around the entire issue of context.

 

Plus, I hadn't drawn Zev in a while. The horror, the scandal! It had to be rectified, immediately.

Is a romanced Solas supposed to stay with the Hierophant at the end? On my first play-through, he switched to the Tower. On my second (Nightmare) play-through, he stayed Hierophant. Both were with the Solas romance (I was in fact lame and played the same Inquisitor twice in a row. Shhh.)

 

I assumed the second game's tarot card was glitched, but... was the first one glitched instead?

The vast majority stay the hierophant, from what I understand. But it does occasionally give the tower card regardless due to some unknown wizardry. I've yet to have the card switch to the tower.

I don't want my Lavellan for Abelas specifically...but I do headcannon the hell out of an OC elf falling for him ;)

Romanced Solas has a different card with a white wolf. 

 

ETA: Ah that's the Hierophant? I don't see it but okay.

His card should switch to the Hierophant after the romance is 'sealed'.

Which happens when he breaks up with you.

Which I saw in person for the first time last night.

With my significant other's Lavellan.

On Valentine's Day.

:(

(Rotten baldy bastard. You don't break up with my SO's elf! *waves fist*)

It can be a scary place, at times, and I say that as someone who started writing on the meme in 2010, which makes me a kmeme fossil.

 

(If any of my fellow perverts know who Tannusen Surana is... hi.)

 

That said, lately I've been writing an asexual-spectrum Solas/Lavellan series on that very same meme. It's a pretty diverse place, if one learns to dodge the really terrifying bits. Or if one finds it hilarious to read those bits aloud to their roommates, as I sometimes do. If only I could master doing so in Zev's accent, all would be complete.

I learned.. very recently that reading smut aloud period... just doesn't work XD There's a reason we say things to our SO's in whispers very close to each other. Sounds a lot less stupid that way, lol.
