I wouldn't flog anyone who doesn't like tea. It's sometimes an acquired taste and sometime just.. (Abelas voice:) not for you. (Not for any of you.) 

I love it though! And Coffee! Coffee flavored sweets are amazing! And Matcha frappuccinos are so good. Sorry...I have probably had too much caffeine today. 

 

I'm content to be a coffee-chugging shemlen I've probably had too much caffeine by now too. 

 

 

New headcanon: The Well of Sorrows is Tea. That's why Solas won't drink it! 

 

So that was the price my Lavellan had to pay - having to drink so much tea. For the sake of the Inquisition, she will endure.

Well, now that you've said it's not for me I have to drink it!

Teaser? Wolf tail? Tarot card?

It could be a silhouette of Varric or Morrigan (shoulder and ponytail/bun).

I got it! I know why elves lost their immortality! Caffeine (whether in tea or coffee form) cut them off from the fade. 

 

Soals tried to tell the Dalish... But they thought abandoning tea is blasphemy.

Oh, it is a ponytail... just not Varric's or Morrigans....

Well I'm definitely the worst out of you lot. I don't drink tea or coffee. That effectively makes me a social pariah, especially when visiting people in their homes. They always look at me like I'm taking the ****** when I refuse a hot drink. Chai lattes aregood though, but I tend to like the really spicy, sweet and creamy ones. They're more like a desert than a drink. Yum.

What do you know?? Come on! Do you work for BioWare now, teasing us like that? ;-)

Haha, that's why I personally call things like chai or types of heavily sweetened coffee blends "liquid desserts" or "dessert coffes" - I just don't drink them to quench thirst; they exist purely for flavor-gasm.

 

Also - I always go for spicy, sweet and creamy if I order those types of drink

No I don't work for Bioware xD I am in their beta program though...

I'm telling you guys, that pic is the back end of a wolf (hind leg and tail) going out of an open doorway. We're chasing wolfy I tells ya!

It looks like the lineart from the multiplayer tarot cards.

I hope so! But if it turns to be a hairy chested darkspawn or something as weird as that...damn it Bioware just show us already! Stop teasing us DX

Yyyyyyep...

I think it's Solas' hair. He would look cute in a pony tail. I will imagine it so and enjoy it until proven wrong

I find the teases ineffective. I don't know. I don't understand their marketing strategy.

The thread has been going much faster today, we're all trying to figure out what it means, and we're all hyped for what comes next. It psychologically primes us to think about getting the upcoming DLC. By the time they announce it, we'll already be half-convinced. 

 

It also increases traffic to their twitter accounts, bloggers will report the news, etc.

 

I think it works.  

[Uirebhiril]

Yyyyyyep...

 

You know, they do have you sign an NDA for a reason.

I simply agreed that it does indeed look like MP card (which it does. The very first thing that came to my mind when Mr. Laidlaw tweeted the image was "comic page or locked MP card")

[Brass_Buckles]

You know with the comment about "activity"--though I took that to mean darkspawn activity--I came up with a wild theory.

 

What if Solas's goal isn't to destroy the Veil or wake the Creators?

 

What if Solas didn't just trap the ancient elven gods?  What if he killed them?  We know elven gods are hard to kill, so maybe fragments of them found their way into high dragons, which created the Old Gods?  So Solas needs to wake the Old Gods.  (This is about the least likely theory I've ever thought up, in all honesty.)

 

Alternatively, cut out all of the bits except "Solas needs to wake the remaining Old Gods."  If that's the case, well... we might be in for accidental Blights.  Or worse trouble...

To be perfectly honest, we don't know who is it that Solas really wants to "save"/"wake up" - it's possible those are not Elvhen gods/Forgotten Ones after all.

Maybe those are just a bunch of knowledgeable ancient elves, and only through their combined forces they can summon gods again or... dunno... do something? Or those can just be members of his immediate family. I mean... why not?

 

Ooooor... huh - what if Solas travels the world in search of elves like liked/romanced Lavellans? He then whisks them away and locks them, to ensure only "quality elves" remain after some sort of apocalyptic event?  Maybe Lavellan was supposed to suffer that fate too, but he couldn't bring himself to do this to her? ;P

But what if Lavellan wouldn't mind being locked away? Either for the sake of a new Elvhenan or she's just that into Solas?

Wait... Picking a bunch of romanced Lavellans and locking them in some place waiting for some future special event to come? THIS IS WHAT THIS THREAD IS ALL ABOUT!

....Well, there's this whole "duty" thing Maybe he thinks he can do much good by leading Inquisition, hence it's better she stayed where she is (lol, wacky theories aside, this is in fact quite a legitimate reason for him to leave her).

I find the teases ineffective. I don't know. I don't understand their marketing strategy.

 

Their marketing for the entire of DAI was odd from the start.  Like: the whole thing with revealing Cass and Cullen as LIs very early (I know that was in part due to Greg Ellis' leaking Cullen on twitter but it was still odd to just annouce them as LIs and give no more information than that).  And the Follower Fridays sorry, we don't talk about Follower Fridays, do we?  And annoucing Josie's sexuality before we even knew her name.  Continuing to talk up the features of the Keeps despite the fact that most of these features were dropped.  Dropping DLC with no annoucement and then going quiet.

I doubt he's elf-napping, and the implications that he'd elf-nap Lavellan to breed back the Elvhenan are disturbing even if it does mean lots of hot sex with Solas.  I mean that kind of involves eugenics, and also, kidnapping is not hot.  In the case of my Lavellan, he could forget the hot sex part because she'd be too angry with him for hiding her away somewhere!

 

Going by basic evidence, Solas's actions probably have something to do with the Fade/the Veil, or the Blight, or both.  But for all we know, he's out to kill all of the Old Gods, or free them while leaving the elven gods trapped.  I'm kind of suspicious that while he doesn't actually want to release the Creators (and probably not the Old Gods either), that might happen as a side effect of whatever Solas actually is doing.  Which we don't actually know (and may not know until DA4).

 

Wasn't it Felassan who said the elves are waiting to rise again, just expecting the humans and the non-immortal elves to make some mistake so they could make a move?

 

What if we're about to see an elven uprising of the Elvhen, rather than the city elves and Dalish?

 

(Speaking of which, I really wish we could have seen more of the Orlesian elven uprising, and I wonder if it had spread to Ferelden too...)
