I'm getting the suspicious feeling that between the lack of information about him and what we saw in the new trailer, Solas is probably maybe important to the plot of the story.
please don't turn him into Anders I don't think my heart could take that again. ;A;
The stream and trailer overwhelmed me with feels so I had to watch them again and again (...and again) but just dropping in before bed to say... what a magical night!
So glad we all got to see our beautiful elf man ![]()
Oh, and I haven't been able to brave much of the forums yet so I'm not sure if anyone took or shared a screenshot like this but capturing this shot made me smile so...
Unce unce unce, break it down
Hmmm I wonder if he'll be a little more gentle with a female?
Probably not though
He's like "FOR THE SAKE OF SCIENCE"
I pity the poor dwarf Inq whose arm will be wrenched out of its socket as s/he is yanked into the sky by Solas. ![]()
I liked it for you.
YAY.
WOOOAAAHHHH I JUST WATCHED IT AND I???? WOAH I'm trying not to be too loud everyone is asleep but I kind of started screaming when I saw the trailer.
But Solas
Ooooh gosh I love him so much I need this game and I'm not really able to form coherent sentences right now

[EXCITED SQUIRMING] This is what I've been thinking for awhile now. That Solas is the Main Mage Follower for DAI. And while I personally wouldn't mind him 'pulling an Anders', because I love Anders and his entire story-arc, I don't think we'll have another game where the Main Mage Companion does something morally questionable, possibly leading to the end of the world as we know it. Maybe it could be a rogue this time. Or a Warrior! ![]()
I'm just hoping since we have Cole, an actual spirit like Justice in Awakening, we won't have yet another abomination-mage like in DAO and DA2.
Thanks for the updates and video links. Y'all are beautiful people!
And Aaron Flynn's ax got named "All The Feels"! I am laughing SO HARD right now! ![]()
I'm still not entirely sure if that was Solas or Blackwall we heard...
You can actually tell who's talking if you pay close attention to the character portraits - a little yellow speech bubble pops up next to the icon of the person who's talking.

I won't be surprised if we do, Solas has certainly attracted his fair share of spirits I'm sure.
But it feels cheap if he's the third mage we've come across who's been in that odd limbo with a spirit.

Oooo, that's a convenient thing. ![]()

Yeah, I'm not against it but I'm ready to take a break from companions imbued with spirits. It would be nice if Solas was close to spirits but not a host, for a change.
So, that gameplay video cuts off rather abruptly. Was there anything Aaron said afterwards or did the stream suddenly die and we came back to non-BioWare content or... awkward?

You can watch the whole conference here: http://live-event.ea.com/gamescom/
Or here:
What's that thing on his back?
It kind of looks like a mug
You may also stare at dat Solass, I purposely included it
It's probably everything he owns. He does live outside, after all.

Huh, you know what's interesting? That looks like a horn, like, an instrument. From the Gamescom demo today:
Part of Solas's bag of tricks, perhaps?
I'm still not entirely sure if that was Solas or Blackwall we heard... But there's definite Cole talking!
It was definitely Blackwall.
A] The party icons flash when they speak so you know who's saying what.
B] I'm British native and the voice that spoke had a Northern English accent (think Ned Stark from GOT), not a Welsh accent.
Tamyn, the whole thing unfortunately can't be watched at that video link, it suffers from the lag/streaming issues the original stream was having and only contains part of the demo. Starts around 19.48 and goes until the 34 minute mark.

He summons a Spirit of Valor to fight beside him?

I like how slim Solas seemed in the demo.
Definitely elfy.
Will update OP with the news that he appears in a trailer and in the gameplay demo from the press conference. It was about time we got some Solas content of this nature!
You guys make me laugh (in a good way I promise!) - lol your steamy reactions to Solas moving the Inquisitor's arm ahahahah
I had several hopes for Gamescom:
1. Solas Blackwall Cole Femquisitor party action in a demo. [x] check this box
2. new trailer with story info and new footage that made me wig out over the implications [x]
3. remaining two LIs to be announced, maybe through an interview or something [??? - we'll have to wait and see!]
but 2/3 is aweeeesome so i'm happy as larry regardless of what they do or don't do next
From the same place:
Definitely a little forceful, there, Solas. [FANS SELF]
Inquisitor: I'm not sure about this glowing things...and if it eat my hand?
Solas, Oh, just shut up and do it, you brat!
(Kids these days...)
It was definitely Blackwall.

Yeah, I've been rewatching stuff (looks like the folks recording had as much trouble with the stream...), and I could see clearly who was speaking this time. Blackwall was the one I could hear the first time around. Solas does speak at one point but can't hear him well.
In other news, I finally got that thing from the leaked achievements list spoiled, lol. It wasn't so bad after all, tho.
That looks like a horn, like, an instrument.
Doesn't the Inquisitor have one as well?

We have indeed seen a horn with markings on it at the Inquisitor's belt.
OP updated everyone.
