Also another JoH-related thought

 

Spoiler

 

It was said that Telana, if faced with Hakkon-spirit dragon, because she was a dreamer, that being in its presence would've caused her great pain. Solas confirms this himself but then hey, guess who accompanied me into battle with Hakkon dragon. Is it because of who he is that he was okay? Oversight? Who knows, but it stood out to me.

Although, I'd guess that the whole "spent the rest of her life trying to find him again" thing might serve as a wake up call for a Lavellan who wants to track down Solas.

 

May want to put the rest of that post into the spoiler tag because 3/5 of the game's platforms don't have this DLC yet.

Its an interesting thought!

I would say it is either because of who/what Solas is that he's alright, or the fact that he's simply better trained. Solas is already aware that it would have caused her pain. So I imagine its something he's experienced before, or it is more of a symptom of people not as well versed in the fade as he is. Telana still would have been functioning under the same misunderstandings that the circle/dalish have about spirits. 

 

Do they say why it causes pain? Sensory overload?

[NightSymphony]

Ok..this made me giggle.

The first time I saw these people camping out in the water, I just shook my head. Did Bioware do this on purpose?  It seems like something they would do. I hope they never fix it.

[Rabbitonfire]

Ameridan's story is pretty similar to Lady Lavellan's, right down to an LI who has funky dream powers.

Huh, so like a cautionary tale? That's something to consider when anyone wishes for a wolf hunt dlc or headcanons Solas as a one and only love and to love no one else in assumingly her 80 years of mortal life.

 

When Solas leaves you so you can have a life, he means it.

Not quite, but there are some definite parallels.

 

Spoiler

Also bits about how becoming Inquisitor potentially changes someone and the person's life. But it will all likely have more meaning overall for a Lavellan.

This DLC moment also reminded me of some of the things Solas tells you:

Nope, it's mentioned briefly when you collect a particularly painful memory and then Solas confirms the whole thing with a line of his own and then that's it.

 

I presume it is because of who he is and all of his experience but it was a thread that stood out. What you said about Telana might make sense too but it seemed to come across as more of a sensation (more, as you suggest, like some sort of overload) than a reaction based on beliefs or anything. Still, my curiosity was raised. Is raised. I wonder if we'll see this talked about again in some form. It was rather strange that Solas said nothing further since it's not like he keeps the fact he is a Fade dreamer hidden. But he has some more to him, obviously.

Spoiler

Ameridan never wanted Telana to spend the rest of her days mourning him, and he deeply regretted putting her in harm's way with the Hakkonites. Solas might be in danger, but there's nothing that can really be done if he doesn't want to be found.

[Cee]

Also, more on that one DLC thing

 

Spoiler

 

Note the difference in word choice between Ameridan's memory and Solas' explanation.

 

 

Given what we know from Solas already, spirits just....exist....but a number of things can bring about demons, whether through actions or even the mere expectation that something is or will be a demon.

 

But here, these lines happen right after one another. Is Solas just being neutral as usual on spirits, or did Ameridan simply not understand the Avvar as we come to, seeing how spirits coexist with them at so many levels? Etc.

 

 

Lots of thoughts I can finally get to now that I'm done with it. Hopefully you all didn't cover this all when it came out and I'm just repeating everything.

I don't remember the discussion if it happened! It does make me wonder what exactly the side effects are and why. Like, I could see the danger in a dreamer sleeping near a powerful spirit. But its curious that they could feel pain while waking. It never appeared to me that dreamers had additional abilities beyond their command over the fade. I wonder if it is intended to set something up or...just oddly written.

 

Dreamers are said to be targeted by demons. But that was always in the context of sleeping. Perhaps powerful demons can compel sleep, or still attempt to hunt a dreamer even while they are awake?

 

I imagine if anyone knew how to defend themselves from such an attack, it'd be Solas. But it is an interesting musing.

I'm not sure what to make of it either. Could be odd writing, Could be something that might come into play. I agree that Solas would be up to the challenge but this thing has made me quite curious.

I still haven't bought the DLC :/  I would, though, if it ended in you talking with your love interest... you know, musing over the whole past Inquisitor ordeal.  That would've sealed the deal for me.

I really enjoyed the DLC but that would've been great, especially in this case.

Yeah, sure. If by talking with LI, you mean them warning you not to fall off a ledge when you already did, you got your money's worth.

Not strictly Solas related, but which vallaslin corresponds to Dirthamen? I was seeing some disagreement about it online, but I figured someone here would know.

Going through Tumblr, looking at sad Solavellan stuff and then k.d. lang's Hallelujah comes on.

 

 

Hellspiraling, anyone?

 

 

I finally got the Dragons' Bane achievement tonight.

 

 

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has the "what about us?" dialogue with Solas sometimes just because.

 

The sadness of the voice acting in the final parts of what he says always gets me. How his voice kind of gets low and hurt in the mysterious and waste of time options.

I know a lot prefer Jeff Buckley's version (from what I've remembered seeing on this thread anyway) but personally, K.D. Lang's version always makes me cry and makes me go deeper into the hellspiral.

Are you talking about when you talk to Solas in the rotunda after the breakup? If so, then you're not the only one. I'm a masochist and I always go pester Solas about that whenever I go back to Skyhold, even though I know nothing good will come out of it. 

[cyran9]

ellieraptor of tumblr did an amazing commission for my Inquisitor Ma'alin and Solas at the Halamshiral ball. If you are in need of a commission artist she is very, very good at creating detail from descriptions. 

 

I love and adore Solas' expression.
