yeah but he teaches like, anthropology or basket weaving or something. that hardly counts.
it was supposed to be in patch 5 but is now scheduled for 6, and it seems far more likely to be due to debugging issues rather than giving us additional armor or hairstyles. I'd love it to be otherwise but i suspect we're unlikely to see any new content until at least april.
I was under the impression the Black Emporium was never going to be in a patch to begin with.
i thought i saw people who had access to the patch 5 beta posting screenshots, though i could very well be mistaken.
edit:
As part of the beta, participants will have access to the Black Emporium, a mysterious underground shop run by an immortal proprietor. There, Inquisitors can find powerful artifacts and tools to aid their cause, purchase epic weapons, powerful accessories, new crafting materials and schematics, and even change their voice and facial appearance using the Mirror of Transformation.

They did, but no longer do while testing patch 6. Laidlaw ( 
) tweeted that it was never meant to come out with Patch 5 to begin with. People just can't read their intentionally really confusing and misleading announcements.
On-topic question for the thread - Which companion's interactions with Solas are your favorite and why? By far my favorite is Solas/Cole for obvious reasons. Still trying to make up my mind regarding second place.
For my first PT, I went nowhere without Cassandra and Solas, and would have either Varric or Dorian as the other party member, interchangeably. So, I was pleasantly surprised by the respectful way Cass and Solas related to each other, and the kind, curious open mindedness they displayed regarding one another's beliefs and opinions.
During my second PT, I tried to switch out party members more, with Solas being the exception (sorry bae, you are doomed to follow me everywhere for all time... until you leave. Jerk). BullxSolas banter is fantastic, for reasons already mentioned--that glorious chess match, oh man--and SeraxSolas banter is pretty entertaining too. I didn't have Cole in my party much, to my great shame (I'm all the dual-wield rogue I need, for the most part), but I did love their banter when I experienced it.
I'd say Dorian and Solas as well, were it not also so uncomfortably frustrating to listen to. Seriously Solas, do you not see how hard the poor guy is trying? He wants to be better, and he's repeatedly reaching out to you with a surprising amount of respect. Cut him some slack and stop being such a big dick face. *throws self bodily over Dorian and deflects Solas' cutting words with burning eyes of WTFU ACTUALLY DOIN' U DINK >:C* In conclusion: BFF Dorian.
So, a question for all of you.
Do you think, if the last scene with Solas and Mythal had never happened and those ending tarot card didn't exist, that we would eventually have come to the conclusion that Solas was Fen'Harel anyways?
<snip>
I personally wouldn't have without outside input, I'm ashamed to say. Looking back, I was so unbelievably dense when it came to the HUGE amount of foreshadowing and clues surrounding both Solas and Blackwall. It kinda blows my mind just how blind to it I was.
In my defense, I'd like to wager that in real life that wouldn't have been the case, because unlike Lavellan, who due to stupid game mechanics is all "Yup, I will accept this without further questioning! ^_^", I would be like "WHAT, whaddya mean you were in a war?! Tell me more! How do you know about this from the fade? Tell me more! TELL ME ALL THE THINGS. Where are you from, what was it like growing up there? Who were your friends, WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE THIS, THE FADE, TAKE ME THERE AND SHOW ME THESE THINGS, TELL ME OF YOUR LIFE IN EXCRUCIATING DETAIL, BABY DOLL."
I also have a very good bullshit detector in real life, and am generally a good judge of character and accidental non-verbal communication, which is obviously far less nuanced in video games. He'd have to dump me far, far sooner than poor sap Lavellan in order to keep all his stupid secrets to himself.
Edit: Apologies for wall of text and caps lock spam. I got excited.

People suck suck.
Except for Solas, of course, because Solas would never have claimed it to come out with patch 5 in the first place or announced anything. Solas would have told us he saw something in the Fade that loosely resembled a black emporium.

So much this. Sorry, Solas. BFFs before weird elf god boyfriends.
I think one of my Lavellan's conditions for letting him crawl back will have to be "Stop being an ass to Dorian."

*gasp* The IT crowd in the Solas thread? I've been dreaming of this moment.
Also, relevant:
Do you think, if the last scene with Solas and Mythal had never happened and those ending tarot card didn't exist, that we would eventually have come to the conclusion that Solas was Fen'Harel anyways? I know a lot of people were hugely shocked at that revelation after everything, but there WERE a lot of hints about it before that. Even if it may have taken that ending scene to really put them all together.
I did figure it out in my first playthrough. He knew way too much and was kinda shifty so I thought maybe he was an ancient elf or something. Then when I found the flaming arrows puzzle with the bald elf dude I thought "is that what an elven god looks like?...hmmm...ooohhhhhh." I didn't know which god until codex reading and the temple of Mythal but I was certain once I heard him talking about the gods there. Though in fairness I was probably looking for SOMETHING because a friend told me I should "romance Solas instead of Cullen because he had more to do with the main plot." Otherwise I might not have known to look.
The bad thing was it made the ending hugely disappointing. Even at the party in Skyhold I totally expected him to be the real villain after that super easy fight with Cory and all I got was lonely balcony and a cut-scene.
I did not, on the other hand, figure out Blackwall, even though I heard the "nothing like Grey Warden" conversation in the fade. /headdesk

Oooh, sweet Denholm. His son though, gosh ;D
Though, my personal favorite shall always remain Richmond. I was so damn happy to see him back in the very last episode... Goth To Boss
A rustling, and an explosion of garbage as a man leaps from a refuse clogged alley. Gradstudent/barista/hipster/reincarnatedelvenhallaprincess!Lavellan winces as the old man grabs her hand, partly from shock and partly from the wave of body odor and whiskey fumes that assails her senses as she is dragged out of the alley towards the nearest intersection.
The man scowls fiercely at the red light, his forehead puckering and creasing in thought from his ginger brows to his gleaming hairless dome. "Quickly!" he shouts, frantically gesturing at oncoming traffic "before more come through!". He dramatically waves her hand towards the light, and in a freak coincidence it happens to turn green at that moment.
Gradstudent/barista/hipster/reincarnatedelvenhallaprincess!Lavellan eases away slowly, discreetly trying to wipe her hand on her jeans without causing offense. The man steps into the street to collect a dog someone has run over, drapes it over his shoulder, then toddles towards a store front window to examine himself in reflection.
"you know" he says, admiring his new finery "I'm actually an elven god."
Actually isn't that how the classic film "the terminator" starts?
Remember hobo man from the future is actually the father of saviour John Connor?

His son was so much better. He was such a creeper. I never laughed as hard when he son was at the funeral and then like randomly just runs up to the coffin and then gets in a slap fight with the priest? LIKE WHY???
Also Richard. Best goth resident of IT basement ever. "From Goth to Boss"....
I did not, on the other hand, figure out Blackwall, even though I heard the "nothing like Grey Warden" conversation in the fade. /headdesk
I wonder how many people will be overly suspicious of the new partymembers in DA4, trying to figure out which ones are going to betray or lie to us next.

I still would've had NO clue who Solas was or why he left Lavellan if the last scene hadn't been in the game. I was kind of in a dead shock for days after finishing the game - I couldn't play it; I was so depressed over SOLAS and how Lavellan must be feeling not knowing WHY he left... ugh, it was awful. But I'm glad we saw what happens after Solas leaves Skyhold, at least. I can't tell you how much I was hoping for him to be in her room when she went upstairs, if at least to say goodbye.

I wanted to use that gif to answer to her post. I've been waiting to use that gif for YEARS, always restraining myself of doing so because I was afraid people wouldn't get the reference. I'm now drowning in despair and frustration, because I probably missed the only chance to do so for the next decade. Thank you very much, Meer.
To appease my heart, here, have some very old fanarts of the IT Crowd I made 8 years ago, when I discovered this show.
Gosh my style has changed much since then.
I shall now deal with the feels of my missed opportunity accordingly, goodbye.

I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. Please, vhenan.and unlike Solas I am totally lying, I'm not sorry, I have no heart.

I, for one, am never going to accept another DA companion at face value again. ಠ_ಠ
In fact, that Mother Giselle if that is her real name suddenly strikes me as awfully suspicious. What is she hiding under her large hat? Do we ever see under the large hat? What's that robe hiding. Does she even have legs? Wait, the front of her robes have pointy designs on them. If you've been drinking like I have, these look suspiciously like Andruil's vallaslin.
**** off Sera, Mother Giselle is clearly Andruil.

I especially like the attention to detail, in that his Starbucks' beverage sports his incorrectly spelled name, likely despite him spelling it out slowly, twice, for the barista. Much accuracy.
