This makes a lot of sense to me. Maybe he said this right after the singing scene because that's when he realized that the Inquisition might just succeed in retrieving the orb despite having been dealt an almost deadly blow. 

 

I'm thinking that he had a string of subtle manipulations all prepared to make sure that if and when you get your hands on the orb you not only give it to him, you think it was your idea. After surviving Corypheus' attack on Haven, he sees that he can capitalize on the moment, the shock of survival and sudden unity blossoming after the chaos phase abruptly ended. In short, he observed there during the song that the newly minted Inquisition is not only capable of taking blows (it took a heavy one there at Haven), but that beyond a few small arguments, all the people belonging to the Inquisition suddenly pulled together and started singing as one, showing that they're not giving up, etc. All of this points to two things for Solas: 1. the Inquisition as an organization will pull through and 2. it now has the requisite strength to achieve the task, i.e they've been bloodied, "seen the wolf," and finally 3. they've got the sense of intense danger looming, the threat of which will spur them to action. All Solas need do at this point is direct this action in the right direction.

Haven't played my mage recently. I left her right before In Your Heart Shall Burn and all this talk makes me want to play through it again with her and listen to Solas' hot voice acting in that scene and while leading you to Skyhold. B)  Though this time is different, since it's my first time siding with the templars.

Art again. :)

 

Fanart based on Aicosu's fic, In The Shadow of Fen'Harel.

 

Is Solas with hair Fen'HAIRel? xD

 

Lovely traditional art of Fen'Harel. 

 

Fen'Harel sketch.

 

Solas watercolor.

 

Shirtless Solas with... some other bald elf. (I'm not sure who that is.)

 

Solas painting the fresco, WIP.

 

Awesome artwork of the DA:I crew.

The Chantry weren't responsible for the change in Fen'Harel's role.    The whole point of the Dales was to be able to re-establish their culture but they only had an oral tradition to go on and whatever they could find when rooting round old ruins.   Now it follows that if Fen'Harel was a rebel then he was fighting against the establishment, so any references to him in buildings dedicated to the other gods, apart from Mythal, would not put him in a favourable light.    However, there was also a tradition that the Dread Wolf would guard against evil, hence the smaller statues that were placed facing outwards in Dalish camps.    So all those statues, as well as honouring the Emerald Knights and their wolf companions, may well also have been a more visible use of Fen'Harel to guard the Dales from the enemies outside.     Since the Temple of Mythal was only just to the south, and this had Fen'Harel guarding the entrance, it is likely the area of the Dales all fell under Mythal in the old days and thus would account for all the wolf statues on guard possibly even dating to that time. 

 

Strangely enough the Dalish idea of Fen'Harel as being a morally neutral individual fits with Solas quite well.    Most of the time Solas will see the complexity of a situation rather than in absolutes of good and evil.    Actually the Dalish view of the Dread Wolf as both a protector and yet someone who brought about the loss of the old gods, also fits with likely what happened.      What the Dalish got wrong was the idea of the other gods as being totally benevolent creatures and therefore Fen'Harel's actions being purely malicious or at the very least a rather bad joke on his part.     So their assessment of his motivations were wrong but in some ways, their assessment of his character was spot on since he does walk the middle ground.   Look at his attitude to spirits/demons; very much someone who could walk safely in the presence of either the creators or the forgotten ones.

I doubt it's in reference to a scene where Quiz is angry at Solas (altho I am bringing it up into the thread so you can all go oooooh and daydream about it being so, LOL) but hell I don't even care I'm just pumped cause YAAAAS ANGRYQUIZ IS GONNA GET HER RAGE ON AGAIN

BLACKWALL: What are you talking about? I was here twenty years ago, and it looked just the same.

SOLAS: *awkward silence*

 

My favorite Solas moment, honestly. Such a simple screw-up. I wonder what the Emerald Graves looked like back then. Is he thinking Arlathan times, or Dales times?

 

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: If only the game had a,

BLACKWALL: Many of you know me, Warden Blackwall-

CLAREL: ...I knew Warden Blackwall. But I don't know you. (Seriously, wasn't Clarel mentioned as having been Warden-Commander for a number of years? And Blackwall was the XO since at least the time of the Blight to the accident. All of the older Wardens should have freaked out on him.)

moment to counterbalance our two main lying liars that lie.  :D

 

This is the real reason why the game wouldn't work with the Warden as Inky:

 

Blackwall: I was in Ferelden during the Blight.

Surana: Yeah, you're an imposter.

When he said that, my SO actually shouted at the screen,

"******, where were you when those Ogres swarmed Alistair? Huh? WHERE WERE YOU?! Ass."  :lol:  :wub:  :lol:

Later on, it made sense.  ^_^

 

EDIT: Can't help but notice that the Solas thread does not censor ass. I can't imagine why.  :P

I've noticed the forum is fairly inconsistant with what words are censored.

I can take ANYMORE TEASING!  :blink:   I mean, I am happy that they are working on something and by the sounds of it, it is coming out soon, but tell us some information!. Any information! (preferably Solas related)

 

This period of waiting made me realise, that I might go slightly insane waiting for DA4, hehe  :lol:

 

I have to say that my favourite Solas 'in hindsight' dialogues (-ish, he says one line) was in Jaws of Hakkon (video under spolier tags below). This is where knowing that he is Fen'Harel just works so great. Although I would assume that the majority of people playing JoH have finished the game by then but still:

This is why I have a save right before passing out after Haven is destroyed. It's so worth having to sit through The Dawn Will Come for the 1000th time. :D

I played JoH after the romance was resolved and before the end of the game. I brough Solas along, of course, and I almost forgave him out of pity during that scene... Imagine how exasperating it must be to always have to put up with the constant ignorance of modern Thedosians.

They so are, there is an earlier tweet where he talks about firing up his ASSQuizitor for some testing and forgot how many people they had pissed off.

*sigh*

 

I'm still running around the Emerald Graves for this play through and Solas just said "My people built a life here.....it must have been something to see." the sadness in his voice is incredible.

Yeah, that line killed me too. There are a lot of moments like that where I think my Inquisitor is looking back at him with this look that stays "what happened to you?" and resisting a very strong urge to hug him.

He is truly an incredibly talented voice actor. The writing is one thing but he can put five different emotions into a line, go from subtle pain to subtle humor, deliver a line intended to be formal and then have the tail end of it come out wistful.

 

Like, the role of Solas should be a class in voice acting.

What makes that line and the way Solas says it even sadder.....is the fact that if he is in a romance with Lavellan at that point.....I can imagine that he wishes so painfully he could show her the beautiful things of his time but is afraid to really show her because of the possibility of giving himself away.

 

Hey, let's go a little further down a Solavellan hell spiral. I had this terrible thought today. Solas alive in 1000 years and him still recreating all his precious moments he shared with Lavellan in his dreams to this song.

This is good, because that's the voice I used for my female Lavellan. :devil:

Nooooo why.

 

Honestly, at this point, I'd rather have Solas die than my Lavellan if I had to pick one of the two.  Lavellan's young and has her whole life ahead of her.  She has lots of ass to kick and a world to rebuild, and she would eventually overcome her grief.  Solas...I almost feel like if he does die in DA:I's DLC, some part of him would welcome it.  Even if he was asleep in uthenera, he's been alive for a very long time and witnessed or even contributed to a lot of tragedy.  At a certain point, that has to start wearing you down.

 

EDIT: Oh great, THIS winds up ToP.  ><  *hides behind Fenris*

THIS.  It's my favorite ending for him, tbh.  He must be exahusted. Physically and mentally.  His past is a HUGE past to escape.  As much as that romance is important to him, it's one person in a 3 year period out of probably thousands of year lifespan.  He's likely had a multitude of relationships of varying degrees(lovers and friends).  Also it closes out his plot. As you know, I would welcome it.  But I love pain. 

 

I am excited for more story though. I really really hope we get to see the west.  It sounded so cool in that small game and I hope it was setting up something for this one.  It sonds so wacko.  I love wacko.

Solas' worst fear is dying alone though... So while he might welcome it, I don't think he wants to go out that way, all alone.
Poor Solas. :(

That's assuming he ~can~ die, but to have that as a fear, I'm going to assume he can.

I didn't say he woudl be alone. Surrounded by friends and possible a romanced Lavellan. He would be far from it. He would realize he - the man - was loved for who he was.  He would be vindicated.  That's far from alone. That's a pretty good way to go out.
