I'm literally almost 100% sure I shouldn't even respond to this because I'm equally certain it's not going to end well, but I can't help myself so here goes.
First, not liking Solas is totally okay. Some people here do not. But if you come here and do not expect that a fan thread will argue you to the death about it, you're in the wrong place. Because they will defend him. To the death. Maybe not to the death, but maybe to the death of this thread if need be. So I'm just saying, dislike Solas all you want, but you're never going to win that conversation in this particular thread.
Second, you must be playing this game vastly different from the 400+ hours I've put into it so far. Because at the end of every game Dorian basically calls me his bestest friend for life, Sera's given up going back to Val Royeaux to hang out some more, Cole is basically my adoptive son, Bull and the chargers are like family, Viv stuck around to help pick out my new wardrobe,...I mean I don't know. I could go on. But basically I would trust almost every single one of them with my life. Besides Viv, Sera, Leliana and Varric. And that's only because Viv and Sera put themselves before anyone else, and Leli and Varric have more important people in their lives they would put before me.
You get from this game what you put into it.
Okay, I'm getting mixed vibes here. Okay...okay. Okay. I'm slightly offended, but also kind of sad Becuase of this post. You just...implying that I'm too shitty a person for fictional people to like? Because I do everything I can for these characters, almost to the detriment of my own health and wellbeing, and...and...and what? You're saying I'm just not good enough for them.
Is...is...is that the theme they're trying to impart this time around, this game. That some people just aren't good enough to be liked by fictional characters. Yeah...yeah...yeah. I guess that's a lot like real life. People just don't like people sometimes. Even if they're nice, even if they buy them presents, even if they are trying so hard not to run away and hide. They have to act exactly the way you want or, or f*ck em right? Is that about right? Am I understanding that correctly. cause if that's the case it seems incredibly realistic given the circumstances. I come in here looking for a conversation, and all I get are insults. I'm the problem. I'm the one who's looking to talk for real people for once instead just playing some game. I'm the problem. Coming in here upset at a fictional character. I should just bite my tongue and let people trample all over me? Hide myself and my opinions because otherwise you'll hate me?
Hmm...guess it is pretty realistic.
