I tend to go for the elves too. From Linu in NWN1 to Solas in DAI, and nearly all in between.

 

Zevran from DAO was the only exception, as I was already rather smitten with Alistair when he showed up (gotta be quick on the draw there, Zev!), and he kind of reminded me too much of Gann-of-Dreams from NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer. After learning of Zev's backstory and witnessing his character development, I really felt like he was Gann reskinned. (Although, come to think of it, Gann's lone wanderer lifestyle and dream-walking tendencies now make him similar to Solas in my book... gyah!)

 

But yeah. If there's an elven companion in the party, odds are pretty good I'll like that character.

 

Alistair is sort of an elf.  Sort of.

Solas said the orb can not be repaired if I remember correctly.

I believe the key to doing whatever Solas is planning is by using power he absorbed by Flemeth. 

 

edit: Did the Inquisitor technically absorb the orb's power? Maybe she could be used in whatever Solas is going to do ...

 

I vaguely remember someone tweeting Weekes about how the rifts work or some such, and he confirmed that the only way to go physically into the Fade through a rift was by using the anchor, any other way would theoretically prove fatal. Then when someone else asked if that meant that Solas would totally need the anchor to complete his mission Weekes deflected with 'Hmm… Spoilers' or something to that effect.

 

Just something to ponder.

I think he said something along the lines of it wont be the same' implying that it can be put back together (go Dagna!) but it's useless for what he wanted it for. Maybe the orb lost all it's stored energy when it broke.

 

Wasn't there some developers notes or something calling it Mythal's Orb?

Awww. Now I just feel bad.

 

The first time I played through I was reasonably annoyed at Solas. Like, man. What a dick. What the hell, bro.

 

But every subsequent play through I just feel too sad for him to be annoyed. The whole thing is so much sadder from his perspective. I don't even care about Lavellan's feelings anymore. I am ruined.

You know, I didn't even think about that, but it's so fitting LOL

Agreed, he is in a difficult position but I am sure he would want her go on and be happy.

i would loose my nuggets

 

but everyone lost their **** over ME3's ending and it sold really well, so i think the devs maybe got some mixed signals there

 

do we or do we not enjoy having our hearts ripped out of our chests?

 

I too would lose my nuggets. I handled ME3 quite well, but this...I would burn the world down.

Modern AU: Hipster Solas, Fenris, and Blackwall.

lol. Somehow, I don't think Solas and Fenris would get along that well.

[Heidirs]

so is Solas going to be the next antagonist in the next game? how will the fans feel about him inevitably dying in the next game because of his status as antagonist?

 

sorry if this has been discussed to bits.

 

I honestly don't think he will be. Maybe the elven gods. But while I expect we will Solas again, I don't think he'll be the main antagonist.

 

If he is... that will certainly make things interesting.

[Taelaa]

If the story makes sense, and is told well, and does justice to the character of Solas and takes the romance into account in at least some way - and does the same for a friend Inquisitor - then I will be satisfied that this is the way the story had to be. If we get an Anders 2.0 I will probably lose a lot of my taste for the game. I'd much rather Solas not be the wrongevilbad dude who is making Huge Mistakes like everyone figures. Not because of bias, but because that would be a much more interesting story and depending on how it's told can seriously throw players for a loop and make them really think about things.

 

We've seen companions become villains of one sort or another. We've seen betrayal. We've seen someone intending to do what they believe is right and have to be Talked Down by the Great Hero. I'm ready for a story where the Great Hero really isn't the special snowflake who knows what the hell they are talking about and the "bad guy" actually does. A story where we have to save the day and murderknife a former companion or lover is just not going to do it for me at this point.

In my head canon, my Lavellan has now seen too much and she's p*ssed off about all the lies and injustice. I joked with Patrick Weekes on twitter than my pro-mage, anti-circle/templar, pro-spirit, pro-elven glory, Solas romanced, well-sipping, warden-exiling Inquisitor was one questionable decision away from becoming what most of Thedas would consider a super villain. I thought she was just a freedom fighter, but after Jaws of Hakkon, I think of her more as the Punisher.

 

Unfortunately, not all Inquisitors are like this, so they couldn't make the DLC where Solas actually has to stop Lavellan from doing something stupid. I think it would be awesome if they could figure out a way to make that happen though, where the player is the antagonist and doesn't even realize it.

More nuggets would be lost here too.

I can certainly see him as an eloquent prolific but critical quest giver.

I would be oddly ok with this though, I think I could see at least one of my Lavellan's going bonkers...

[Illyria]

I think they'd get along fantastically (BroTP!) They'd actually agree on a lot more than they'd disagree on (they both hate slavery, the Qun and people who abuse power).  Fenris is perfectly able to look past the magic if he likes the mage enough (maybe once the whole 'Dread Wolf who accidently caused the Breech' came out it would cause their friendship to end, but he'd get along with Solas while he was just being Solas).

 

Also, I got Pillars of Eternity thanks to this thread.  I am ready for more elf hellspirals.

My Lavellan made all of these decisions (except for the Well. She thought that biz looked shady).

 

I've never really thought about how Thedas would view the majority of those choices since from her point of view they were just the right things to do. But a scenario where you were actually the unwitting antagonist would be really interesting, if near impossible to pull off.

 

Edit: In retrospect she probably seems like exactly the sort of person people would expect the Dread Wolf to roll with. But she's like… a really nice person guys, I swear.

[Heidirs]

For some reason I always end up choosing the elves in Dragon Age. Zevran, Fenris, Solas... I swear I don't plan it, it just happens. 

 

I did the exact same thing... although, honestly, my first choice in Origins would have been Alistair. But I was a city elf, so no chance for that romance to stay if I wanted to make him king.

[Moirin]

I didn't really like any of the romances in DA2, when it came down to it.

 

I had this problem too. I sort of liked Anders in the beginning (as I said, I was still hung up over him from Awakening) but that got old, fast. My male Hawke remained unromanced in the end.

I never thought about how Thedas would view these decisions either, they just seemed the like right choices for my Lavellan. The fact that Solas approved of most of them was an enjoyable side benefit, but not a deciding factor for the choices I made.

 

Then one day after I had finished the game it dawned on me that most of Thedas, while thrilled that I defeated Cory and closed the breach, now has time to think about the other decisions I made and most of them are probably really worried about what I might do next.

I actually do like seeing my inquisitors, lavellan and trevelyan, as Thedas' "The Punisher", though the Punisher was actually intelligent, so I couldn't really jive with Solas coming in to stop them from doing something stupid... It seems like the story's going the opposite direction of that honestly.

 

I've seen this idea come up before, along with the ideas of Solas being the real Inquisitor, and being behind everything and this and that, and it honestly puzzles me. Not that I don't get it (well, maybe), but that people would want it. You're the hero, you're in charge. People already get told what to do on a daily basis by bosses, spouses even. Can't imagine me ever actually wanting to play runner up to someone else, no matter how much I liked that character.

 

It just seems odd to me people fantasize about being dependent. Submissive, I get. I write smut after all, lol. Dependent, controlled. That doesn't compute for me personally.

Yeah, no. I don't get that dependent fantasy at all. I would be really upset if I found out she had been used to do something that went against her beliefs.

 

Maybe I shouldn't have said "something stupid". I guess I meant something that seems like a good idea at the time, but if given all the facts, she wouldn't do. Maybe Solas has those facts. Who knows? I was just thinking out loud. That's the nice thing about headcanoning, it doesn't have to be completely logical.

I think this is what sits poorly with me when people say they'd have their Inquisitor drop everything to be with Solas, no matter what. I just can't jive with that. I'm probs just too much of a feminist to just allow my character to toss her agency out the window for him. She's got her own journey, her own story, I'm not going to have her forgo that to become a side note in someone else's saga.

It depends on what he's doing. His plans could very well jive with my Lavellan's and it'd be a partnership. No feminism required.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd love a reconciliation as much as the next person. I realise that the way I'd worded my post made it sound like I wanted her to go all lone ranger on that ****, that's my bad. No, I'm a huge sap and would be thrilled for love to prevail. If she's into what he's about then she'll definitely go along to help.

 

But if it turns out that he's doing something dodgy (as unlikely as I think that is), then I'm not going to just like… toss all of my character development to the winds and have Lavellan go with him anyway just because. Each to their own though.

 

Edit: Also, don't fret that I'm going to start up screeching about gamer-gate or misogyny or some such. I promise I'm house trained.
