I think they actually have exploration options for everyone now. Rogues open doors, mages can fix bridges WITH MAGIC, warriors break barricades. They also mentioned a long time ago that some characters only would know about like, certain dwarven runes or elven writing, etc. There's no winning, I think. You just have to keep taking everyone back to the same places and making them look around. lol 

 

If this is so, I will be months finishing the game.  :blink: I can see me, sometime in mid-March, sitting hunched in front of the television, eye twitching while I mutter to myself, "I know there was a funny-looking rock around here somewhere...and I've only looked at it with six of my companions...what if there's loot under it I can only find with a different combo? What if there's a cave I'm missing nearby? WHAT IF?" At which point all the companions onscreen will turn and look at me like I'm nuts. Because I will also be hallucinating by then.

 

I'm not sure if he'd be a blood mage even if it was available? The main reasons we've seen it for are power and he doesn't seem the type to need it? He might talk to demons but he doesn't seem like he'd need to boss them around either.

 

Rift mage is definitely the specialization I'm most curious about. Like....What the hell does it do? Do you open up a big hole in the Fade right under people and just suck them in or what? Can you summon spirits to help you fight?? I imagine it's less about fighting and more about debilitating or giving buffs or....SOMETHING but it's just so hard to guess right now.

 

Maybe it's just the vibe in this thread, but...I still think he'll be the Disney princess of our group. A combo of the Sleeping Beauty/Snow White of the Fade.

 

"Come, my incorporeal friends! Rain death upon our enemies! Fly! FLYYYYY!"

I'm expecting an interesting bag of tricks. He's an unconventional mage, so I hope his spells are unusual too.

Guys, I had this crazy dream last night that DA:I was a Broadway musical. There was this giant Skyhold stage and all the companions and advisors were doing some sort of musical number. Gareth had a really nice singing voice.

 

My brain doesn't need any crack because my brain apparently IS crack. :blink:

I am curious why Solas doesn't fit the description of a hedge mage. "Stopped-up dam" was the phrase used, I believe. Maybe he was taught by spirits directly?

 

Possibly he did have some 'Chantry style' teachings before he left his small village. Perhaps a parent? We'd need to know more about his past.

There clearly have to be some snazzy little dance numbers along the way. 

I can just see it now, inquisitor and companions, heading into battle and *FLASHMOB*, all the enemies start dancing the Remigold in formation :lol:

Big Bad: Mwahahah! Your plan is foiled, Inquisitor. Now I shall burn all of Thedas!

Inquisitor and co: Oh no, you won't!

Big Bad: Oh yes, I will!

*Dance number starts*

 

Well it's more of a pantomime, but, hey.

And then at some point the Benny Hill theme tune starts and an entertaining chase scene with the Big Bad ensues in an attempt to reclaim Vivienne's stolen hat :D

WAT. No, I refuse.
I mean, Spirit was dispelling in Origins... I loved that about it.
But WHAT ABOUT THE CREATION SCHOOL, BIOWARE? CREATION IS FOR HEALING, DAMMIT.
I mean, okay, I get changing it to nerf healing, but... REMOVING it? Warping it into SPIRIT?
WHAT ABOUT THE LORE. [LORE-NERD TABLE FLIP]

Okay. I just finished my little sketch of Solas and a fem Quizzy. It's not good quality. The only reason I want to show it is because I actually had fun doing it and isn't that what matters, really?

 

Prepare for the fug!!!

 

Spoiler

 

 

I actually had an idea in mind for what I wanted them to wear and then a song got stuck in my head which inspired me to redo it. If you get the reference, you are awesome.

@RebbyWriter - fairly certain that I am not awesome, since the first thing that came to me (song wise) when looking at your drawing, was "They Can't Take That Away From Me" (Gershwin). Astaire and Rogers in the movie "Shall We Dance". :lol: ;)

You're actually really close! I do like that song, too :) You're still awesome, though.

 

btw, how do you put up youtube videos? I was going to put it up but...not sure how. Dumb person is dumb.

@Rebby - Go to directly to the YT vid you want to share, and just copy paste the address, directly into the post window. So long as you don't try and link it on a specific timestamp, then it should show up just fine (apparently when you try and link from a specific point in a vid, it will just show the link. *shrug*)

Oh? I assumed it was more complicated than that. lol Let me see it this works...

 

 

Anywho, I got it from another Fred and Ginger movie called Top Hat. I didn't even notice that Fred seems to recycle the same tux for these movies until after. haha! Also, I found out her dress was blue. *facepalm* The downfalls of a black and white film. :lol:

 

I made up the idea that there is a spirit of Groovin' in the Fade and he showed Solas how to dance.

 

 

Success! Thank you, coldwetn0se!

So, I was wondering after the conversation about exploration options before, do you think we'll be able to use Solas's fade-memory abilities to learn about old ruins much? I know it was hinted that we're going to find Arlathan some time ago and I'm sure there will be others, as we're never at a shortage for old ruins. It would be neat if we had him in the party if we could get him to show us some of the history of places we go.

Doh! :pinched: I thought of Top Hat, after I posted my "example" video. Good on ya! :)

Now really hoping for a grand Astaire/Rogers-esque dance number in the fade, with Solas and the Inquisitor. *dreamy*

As a history nerd, I would love this sooooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuch.

 

That was one of the things about the study abroad trip to England I took back in college. So many old monasteries, ruins, and castles we visited... you could just feel the history there. I wanted so much to just find a nice, quiet place away from the tourists to go and just try to *feel* everything there.

 

I'd nerd out so hard if Solas could help us learn the history of old elven ruins and whatnot... the battles, the hardships, the triumphs... just what it was like for the people who dwelled there once, and then how it ended.

 

<3

omg Karm. I stopped breathing for a second. Totally unintentional but the good kind.

 

Yea, Nocte. I can see that as yet another reason to put him in the party. If we go off the beaten path and get "lost" as Patrick puts it, there's sure to be some instances where Solas feels a thin veil and is all "Ruin senses...tingling."

As it says in his profile "He would be happiest left alone to sleep in ancient ruins, searching for memories and knowledge that has been lost for ages." So, if you had him along, you could learn things about the history of the ruins that you couldn't if you don't bring him.

 

I think that in itself is fascinating. Some would say, "Hey! There's demons here. Let's kill them and loot all the chests." Where Solas will tell you why those demons are there and who knows? Maybe he could find us an easier solution than to just kill them.

Yeah, I'm hoping there will be at least a few times we can take advantage of his unique abilities. I mean, it's such an interesting skill they've added, it would be a shame if we couldn't see it for ourselves. 

 

Your study program sounds awesome, by the way.

Oh, officially?
YES. NOW IS MY CHANCE.
[clears throat]

 

Look at this stuff! Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think that this Fadewalk's complete??
Wouldn't you think I'm the elf, the elf that knows... everything?

Look at this grove; knowledge untold!
How many memories can one ruin hold?
Looking around here you think, sure...
He's seen everything!

I've met spirits and demons aplenty!
I've done magic and dreaming galore!
You think you need a nap? I need twenty!
But who cares?
No big deal...
I'LL SLEEP MOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEE ~

[runs fast. runs far.]

 

THIS IS THE WORST TIME TO RUN OUT OF LIKES
