You have to be at some amount of disapproval... and I've no idea how much. Nothing you can't recover from, though. I tried really hard to count, but when I was keeping careful track, I didn't get it low enough to trigger (but since the info on it was vague, wasn't sure if it was locked to a particular point in game). Then I did some more things (how many?) and had it available. Sorry I can't be of more help.

 

Edit - it might be helpful to note that it took more than the "you only care about the Fade" dialogue, but not enough that I needed to do anything drastic. I still freed the mages, for example.

Tears over fictional stuff all the time checking in.  

 

 

 Once I cried because my friends hair looked really nice in a photo. I can't make this **** up.

 

Ha, same, really. I also find myself crying at the same moments in things I've seen so many times. Like....you've seen this 10 times already.....WHY is this necessary again?

 

Yeah, that. I am compassionately interested along the lines of an alien explorer trying to make peace with the natives. Excuse me, I do not follow, I do not mean to offend, could you explain why you are leaking from the area around your light-detection organs if they are not currently in need of cleaning?

 

That said, I do also of course believe that in many cases feelings!=tears Some people just express (or don't) them differently, regardless of how much they are felt...

[Sable Rhapsody]

Okay, I'm going to reveal one of my song tear triggers because, while not exactly thematically applicable to the end of Solavellan/the game's aftermath, it was also one of my initial hellspiral songs.

 

 

The Nick Pitera and Sam Tsui version of that was one of my hellspiral songs too.  

[Armdin]

Story Lavellan went for the Dalish reclaimed Vallaslin chill option and the "whatever it is, we can figure it out" option, because she started out pretty hot-tempered and aggressive and became much more careful and restrained over time. This made their ending much more like Eddie Izzard's bit on British movies in my head than I'd have predicted. "I thought... I'd better go." "Yes I think you'd better have."

 

A few pages old, but buggerit, this comment made me laugh so much. Hooray you! xD Also hooray Eddie Izzard!

 

"It's just the rebels, sir, they're here."

"My God, man! Do they want tea?"

"I think they're rather after something more than that, sir. I don't know what it is but they've brought a flag."

 

That's how Inquisition should have went.

 

Now I'll be gone a while. I need to watch the DVD collection again. \o/

It's okay, I know a bunch of people like me and people who don't quite get it. Boyfriend laughs (not maliciously) at just how deeply some things can touch me. I think he kind of finds it cute somehow. It's not always tears, but I came to realize long ago that tears are how I express several different types of very strong emotions (if I'm sad, tears, if something touches me in an awww way, sometimes great happiness, tears, if I'm frustrated....you get the picture.). They just.....happen.

 

Though I do experience things I feel deeply without tears too. I'm not constantly leaking from the eyes.
 

I am feeling like a guinea pig.

 

[legbamel]

I think my reply may have come off somewhat more vehement than I intended it to. Sorry about that. I just wanted to clarify the decision was mine and not just because Varric asked me to.

 

Also, Solas would likely inflict me with a Solas Disapproves over my consumption of this bottle of iced green tea, but I don't give a damn. 

Oh, no!  It was fine.  I've done both with Cole and I prefer him as a spirit but I can definitely see both sides of the coin on that one.  It's a tough decision.

 

ETA: Hallelujah has been a tear-trigger song for me for years.  I can't listen to any of the versions posted in this thread!  For some reason, Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World also brings on the waterworks.

It was for me too, but now only sometimes in the right mood. I just never know sometimes. I just teared up reading an amazingly beautiful essay and now I want to throw money at the author's other work.

 

What a Wonderful World has also gotten me on occasion. Good choices.

Oooh wouldn't it have been great if we could've kissed our love interest in the party like in DA:O?  The comments from Oghren and Morrigan were the best whenever my Warden and Alistair starting being gross lolol :3  I would've like to have that option with Solas because I can see him getting delight out of grossing Sera out like Alistair did with Morrigan XD  Ahhh if only!

 

Sera:  Can't you two do boring elfy smooches somewhere else?!

Solas: Ah, an enjoyable side benefit.  Kiss me, vhenan.

Sera:  BLEH!!!

All this talk about feelings.

 

I put up the first two parts of that collection of very short pieces instead of waiting to finish the entire thing.

I like the analogue in general - elfiest of rebels teams up with Andrastian organization to fight the evil Tevinter.  History repeating itself. A snake eating its own tail. I wonder if the Inquisitor will be burned at the stake this time around as well. Would make for a good and amazingly bleak ending.  TAKE IT AWAY RUST:

I had only feelings of dislike for Matthew Mcconaughey prior to True Detective. And then Rust. _ Whoaaa hey there, you glorious, cynical bastard.

... And this is the cure. Mmhmmmm.

 

Tears over fictional stuff all the time checking in.   I feel things very deeply. I even have song triggers that I know will ALWAYS bring me to tears. There are about three or four of those. I think about two or three people know which ones those are. Boyfriend teases me with one of them sometimes. He's quite a troll.

 

 If I am hormonal enough, I've been known to cry at movie trailers.

edit: I may have also just rewatched the Solas sad breakup again.

But seriously though, are you me? Because I do this. I get sooooo emotional in movies it's ridiculous. And if my hormones are acting up then basically anything can set me off; a few bars of sad piano music, adorable animals, film trailers. Once I cried because my friends hair looked really nice in a photo. I can't make this **** up.

 

Adding my voice to those who experiences feelings in a huge way. In my opinion, being extremely emotive is certainly not something to feel ashamed of, because it means you're anything BUT weak. You have to be damn strong to live with emotions this potent, dudes. I once cried over some sort of holiday commercial. I can't even remember what it was for now, but there were adorable animated forest creatures... and poignant music, and a snowy tree. I don't know. *high fives HiddenStrike and Catfishers et al.*

[Siha]

I just don't really see what the purpose of that would be... What would this achieve?

 

I'm fond of rhetoric questions, it's so easy to give an answer. In this case it is "because it would be so damn romantic!".

 

Besides, if we assume Solas to be an organic being he cannot die from fire anyway. To be immortal, his cells would need to regenerate faster than they decay. So killing would require an immediate death that happens faster than regeneration ever could. Burning surely does not classify. It's magic!

 

That said, even if that were the case, I have enough trouble with developing emotional attachment to real humans. I have no particular problem with things that happen to fictional ones (all the talk of tears on this thread is like academic interest! Imagine me as Data, trying very hard and with great interest to understand), unless it is done badly - in which case it's more like a "you fumbled it!" than a "noooooooo!"

 

Refreshing.

Though I did like (sarcastic) Hawke, because she was as close to a digital representation of me as I ever got one in a game. The only one I would sacrifice her for would be king Alistair, who has responsibilities.

 

You have to be at some amount of disapproval... and I've no idea how much. Nothing you can't recover from, though.

 

I was told it's possible. You can get Solas to minimum approval (the hitting scene) and then back up to a romance even. But it requires deliberate planing and postponing of quests. And I myself did not try it yet.

You just made me laugh with this. I have similarly learned to poke fun at my ability to feel ultra deeply or cry at news articles or the right combination of whatever triggers it. That's just me. And it can spill over into characters to a degree, but I try to give them other motives and traits I don't have too.

 

And that's kind of what I was getting at. I am at a point in my life where, given various things I've lived through, I'm glad they never made me cynical. I feel like this ability to feel strongly is an asset that helps me also to understand and get along with different people.

 

Though sometimes that means being utterly captured off guard by deep emotional involvement with characters in books or games or songs, or whatever and that explains my appreciation of the pain and depth that led me to this place too.

I haven't been around for a while, but I felt the need to say...this, I do this too...

[Illyria]

I play my Lavellan as a very flirty, humorous sort and so when Solas breaks up with her I like to choose the "sad puppy" version because the suddenness of it left her walls down and she over exposed her feelings...she has a massive cry & berates herself later about it.  Is it also really, really horrible of me that I like the "I love you" dialogue because I know it probably hurts more for Solas too?  Yea, I'm probably awful but there it is.

 

It really is quite cool that Patrick Weekes included so many variable dialogues during the breakup.  You have sad/sad, angry/angry, resigned/resigned, and every mix in-between.

 

This is the same way I play my Lavellan, and the same reason I went sad puppy during that scene.  She also blamed herself for the breakup because she is very flirty and thought that Solas thought she wasn't taking the relationship seriously - that he was just one more distraction for her.  She also kept the vallaslin and thought that was just another reason for the breakup  So the tragic route in that dialogue really worked.

 

But it is nice that there's so much variety both for the breakup and vallaslin removal.

 

@the Cole debate

 

Lavellan went full human despite agreeing with Solas for the entire quest.  As a mage she knows Solas is right about Cole and spirits but when it came to the choice she couldn't bear to take Cole's humanity away from him.  And taking human!Cole to the final battle and hearing him defy Cornflakes and then how happy he is after the battle was just amazing.

 

@the Hawke choice

 

I'm still debating what my canon should be for that choice.  On the one hand: my canon sarcastic mage Hawke in a friendly romance with Fenris.  On the other hand: Warden Alistair the boyfriend of my canon Warden.

[Janic99]

I had a horrible horrible HORRIBLE Solas dream. 

 

Solas sacrifices himself to redeem himself somehow and Lavellan holds him while he dies. He's at peace, because at least he isn't alone but she's in a state of shock. She saw him die before in Redcliffe, but this time she knows he isn't coming back and there's no going back in time...

 

Well.. my dreams were like that I was being lavellan and I was dreaming and I had sex with solas and then he dumped me like just left and I was like: NO SOLAS NO


another dream I had that I was myself and I started hallucinating him XD and what happened was that where ever I went.. he just randomly appeared to me on daily basis and I was like: WTF 

like I remember going to the shop and suddenly he is there like: You should buy more healthier things

and I was like: DA FUQ YOU DOING HERE D: 

Then in the end I started hoping to see him all the time again and when I actually woke up.. I saw Solas standing next to my bed, I was like: WTF AM I REALLY GOING TO HALLUCINATE NOW

 

but after closing my eyes and opening them agan and rubbing them I figured out that it was only my own lovely chair... XD

[Nightspirit]

I dreamt that I accidentally cooked a person, then told everyone it's chicken.

 

Er..Solas would probably disappove.

[Maria13]

Hm, interesting. I don't see it. Seems pretty martyr-ish to me - you could have any number of actions that actually have results (whether vengeance, social change, whatever) that could well require death (or many deaths) that seem more worthwhile. Solas doesn't forget them, but he doesn't jump off a cliff, either - he has a purpose. He seems stronger to me for carrying his losses instead of burning alive or what have you. I feel like he'd consider it selfish, but I don't know where all you were going with it. I guess I don't see how dying with someone at all leads to redemption - it sounds like maybe you have a story behind the question that might shed more light on it.

 

I'm more with those that think he'd kill her himself if he really had to, though - or at least that he'd like to believe that he would.

 

Thinking about it I believe you make a very good point here, I definitely overlooked his devotion to duty. Yes I cannot see him acquiescing to martyrdom if he still has things to do, that is very clear. Solas is above all dutiful, but should he have done what he feels he has to do or should he realise that there is no way he can do it then this might still be applicable.
