Greetings tiny mortals.

 

I am way too amused by Qunari in DAI. From watching Cass manhandle the giant dude in the beginning, to seeing everyone getting neck ache as they stare up at the guy, and the fun of just seeing his shoulder in most cutscenes.

 

I can't bare the thought of the Hinterlands again though so I've only wandered round the start of the game with this dude, who is supposed to be romancing Bull but I'm feeling like he'd be awesome with Cass....

I really need DLC. That interview with Laidlaw is making me think my original April prediction might still be on.

 

But hey there Solas Thread. We still all getting along? I kept wandering back in here at the wrong times in the cycle.

I wanted a nice relaxing gaming Saturday but my scumbag neighbour has been using her inhumanely loud vacuum cleaner for the past 2 hours to ruin all my peace and quiet. I need to find a game louder than ACUnity to play so I can have my revenge.

 

 

Here, take this:

This is me:

 

http://www.16persona...ntp-personality

 

I remember when this topic cropped up before and I had no idea what I was. Took the test, turns out I am INTP-A. 

I would have thought I was more judging that prospecting but I think my lazy attitude to everything influenced that outcome a bit.

 

The assertive bit cracks me up. That supposed Emotional-Stability goes right out the window for a few days a month.

LOL. I'm a guy but we get our "man periods" too. I'm normally cool headed, but every now and then I loose it. Tis human.

 

And after being forced to analyze Solas more and looking at the classifications, I'm convinced Solas is in fact an INTP as well. Stupid Addai, lol

 

So I was wrong.

Because we know him so well that we can judge what's right and wrong, right?

It's not so much that I lose it, it's that I go from being someone who doesn't cry (I have the emotional range of Sten), to someone who will cry at anything. Anything. 

Stupid crazy hormones.

With what is presented, one can be. With what we know about him, he works very much as an INTP. My only basis for saying he's J was how he looked to Dorian, but how you address people isn't classified by P and J. And I felt differently on that because while I am an INTP, I'm also pretty close on the F as well for feeling. Everything else about me is a T, but when it comes to people, it's F, which is why I don't much care about how someone sees things, if their political mindset is like mine, if their doctrines are the same. To an extent.

 

Solas isn't like that at all though, so he's probably more INTP than I am. With J tendencies. I'm INTP with F tendencies.

Since the thread is dead currently anyway, would you care to explain the reasons for your assessment?

[Dark_Rogue]

That personality test is weird...I got INFJ and it's super accurate, although a part of me feels like it's a bit "horoscope-y" with the vague all-round answers that can apply to a large majority of people.  Either way, pretty cool

I don't put a super amount of confidence into these things, but they can be interesting. This is pretty accurate for me, though I once took another test called Strengthsfinder which was scary in how close it got me. It's a paid thing that we got access to through school or I'd share.

Solas is like me, in that he is a master procrastinator due partly to how much time he spends thinking about things, according to his own word even. Like the dialogue piece with Sera that Addai brought up to me when I was challenging it, he admits that he spends too much time thinking and not enough doing. I'm like this too admittedly. I like to have my options in everything, but you lose options if you have something decided. Like with my smut stories that I have yet to finish because I'm still muddling over my options and what isn't yet presented in game. I used to think that I was impatient, but really I'm too patient. Solas, he seems the same way.

 

There's also his chess match as an example of how he wins disputes and conflict, which I'll compare to an INTP's method of debating, which is usually looking for weaknesses in someone else's argument to make a point of your own. It's just how he picked Bulls one weakness and set him up for his final victory.

 

Ps are not motivated by deadlines like others are. I'm motivated only when the deadline is coming up. Any progress report I give is likely BS, and where I will be eventually, or where I am in my head. We're not planners. I tend not to plan on anything more than a loose idea, the rest is spontaneous last minute development.

 

Solas did this with Lavellan. He may have thought and planned how he was going to handle things with her, or maybe he just gave enough to leave himself options. By the end of it though, according to devs who confirmed this assessment, he made the last minute decision to leave her, improvising and covering up with the tattoo removal option.

 

And his plan with Corypheus clearly wasn't well thought out lol. That all screams P. This is also where I think some of his swagger comes from, being cool headed usually and relaxed. Calm and collected. He's not one to let emotions run high except when truly stressed. Those are characteristics of an INTP,

You mean this: http://en.wikipedia...._Your_Strengths

 

Btw, MBTI is also heavily criticized, Wikipedia does actually offer a nice overview: http://en.wikipedia...._Type_Indicator

 

It's just an indicator, no universal truth. And I think many people are a bit of different classes anyway. But I'm sure we're all aware of this, so discussing the classifications is still fun enough. Especially because there is still no DLC to keep us motivated.

I relate all of this to me, too. Still the tests call me INTJ.

And like you I could also say "Solas is a lot like me".

 

I have no idea what he is, I know too little of him. (I don't even think I care so much.) But I am just super surprised at the certainty with which people classify him as one thing or the other. Most people cannot even classify themselves, who they know much more about. And I have a hard time putting up with the "He definitely is ABCD because I am sure of it" mentality. But that's just my general stubbornness, I guess. I have a problem when people claim to know it all.

I went to PAX East so that was fun just sitting around in the BioWare Base chatting with people, commiserating, talking too loud about feelings,  and chatting with devs but I do wish we had some DLC announcements to anticipate.

 

I just keep wondering what they will do. This is what happens when you turn things over and over in your head for long enough.

 

Also since I didn't finish until January I have been going thorugh the older parts of this thread to feed the actual discussion bits in my head, then returning back here to laugh.

 

(and going forward with my second Lavellan as well).

Amazon Kindle has all of David Gaider's DA books on sale today for 99p plus Weeke's Masked Empire is also going for 99p...

Well, to be honest, Solas isn't a real person but an artificial one. A representation that we recognize because he simulates one. So it's more comfortable for people to do this with characters because they aren't real.

 

That said, saying Solas is in fact anything isn't my intention. I think Solas seems like both because again, he's a complex character, a very good one, and also, no one is always one way. Which is why I choose to classify him more as INT P/J, with his leanings being more on INTP. I do believe he ticks more of those boxes of INTP from just what is presented, but as always, I'm open to arguments of the contrary and proving my earlier judgement correct, since I hate being wrong in the first place

 

But maybe the tests are wrong too, maybe you're more of an INTP? Who knows, they're not perfect fits.

Excuse me for one moment...

 

*turns away* *muffled excited screaming*

 

Okay, I'm back, thank you for sharing! Gonna buy me some DA books!

[Elessara]

All of these letters being thrown around .... I should retake that test.  I'm sure I'd classify as ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.

He is definitely bald and I am sure of it.

Not your intention? You started off with "Addai was right" and ended with "I was wrong", which is a pretty strong statement.

Using the descriptions as a basis I have been classified as INTJ by both test and people. Regarding Solas I just think it is too hard to classify a character we know so little about. We would give him far too little credit doing that.

I simply have an authority problem. Take it as a compliment that I acknowledge your alpha type enough to have an issue with your level of certainty.

[Armdin]

I'm grabbing Asunder, Last Flight, and The Masked Empire. Is The Stolen Throne worth picking up, or any other worthable mentions?

You don't pay attention for a second and suddenly oxidants happen! 

BioWare restrains my desire to express me correctly, but I may throw this amount of emotion at you:

I was going to say, Look Colonel!  Siha respects your authoritay!  .... but then I couldn't even type that with a straight face because hahahaha no she doesn't.

Lucky UK people. I'm still reading The Masked Empire, but I wish there were a sale like that here.
