I think he meant that it already does.  The in-game effect is really subtle, though.  Non-Lavellans get these really odd, vaguely threatening shimmery figure-shapes that flicker in and out of view, while Lavellans get little happy fluffy seed-things floating in the breeze.

 

It's like the unnatural sense of dread we're supposed to feel outside Solas'an.  Great effect in theory, but tough to translate into game experience.

Where is this? In the Crossroads?  I've only gotten that far with my Lavellan, no others. I do remember that the humans in TME felt a sense of forboding about venturing off the path they walked. Like "Those fields are pretty but I feel like there's something dangerous out there that will get me if I leave the road." Or something. Been a while since I read my copy.

 

Are these shapes you mention akin to those purple glowing shapes that we see in the trailer? Those seem like elven sentinel-esque ghosts to me, for lack of a better term. Guessing guardians of some kind.

Folks, there's more info what to expect in this DLC here: http://www.gameinfor...campaign=buffer

 

(including hints that Solas story is NOT going to be wrapped up in Trespasser, though we may get some answers)

 

That's not really new. Mike Laidlaw basically said months ago that we'd only get some answers in DLC. Solas is crit path first so I wouldn't br surprised. This also is another reason why I'm looking for satisfying closure if it has to be.

I may have to finish my Trev playthrough so I can see the difference. I've only gotten to the Crossroads with my Lavellans.

Yeah I'm going to finish a second playthrough with Lavellan and I thought that was interesting. 

 

I figured Solas' story wasn't going to be wrapping up anytime soon but I'd like some sort of closure. It seems we might not get that though I would love to know more from him. Better than nothing until next game~

Solas is a frickin' goldmine for BW! It means we will see him again in the future if they make another game.

His outfit. All that lack of color. SOLAS FOLLOW ME TO THE ARMOUR TINTER LET ME PUT SOME RING VELVET ON YOU RIGHT NOW.

Yikes.   From a symbolic perspective, that Solas-grey is definitely on the dark side.   

 

Maybe... maybe Solavellan gets a different outfit...

If you didn’t really dig into Cole’s personality – if he remained a cipher – then he won’t appear in this. He won’t have that connection that would draw him back to the Inquisitor two years later. It also goes beyond that – it’s not just "do they appear or do they not?". One part of Cole’s personal arc is whether he’s more of a spirit or a human, and that’s going to change his circumstances. The more human Cole is going to look and feel quite different than the Cole that was pushed toward spirit. S

I think his greaves/leggings are the same shiny gold that Abelas and the other Mythal sentinels have, though. So, there's that.

I just want closure for my Lavellan/Inquisitor. I want their story to be done, or at least put to rest in a satisfying way before I have to dig in with a new protagonist. Especially as it relates to Solas. I'd be very disappointed to not get some questions answered, to see him again, to have the romance aspect given a nod. I didn't expect Solas would be done and over in a DLC, and I expect we'll see or hear more about him in future games. But his story with the Inquisitor is the one I want wrapped up.

I have to say..... I will be a little irritated if they added new little romance scenes for all the romances and then with Solas we just get some little passing comment in conversation about what is going on with them.

 

I mean.....if we don't get anything going with Solas.....it would be nice if they added in a new good looking elf that we can do a quick romance with.

 

Just sayin'.

>_>

I feel like I've just watched a marathon of a really emotional tv show and now it's 9 pm and I'm worn the hell out.

So many things today you guys. So many things. And epler is more proud of this dlc than anything in his entire career.

I'm going to give my opinion on what I think might happen... While Solas' story does not end, I believe his story involved with the Inquisitor will. For better or worse. I believe that Bioware, knowing how enjoyed his character and romance is, will have it cared for in a great way that works for his character and doesn't leave it open ended any more.

Whether it will be happy or not for Solavellan is really the question.

I am so in love with the fact that all our choices will affect the 2 year timeskip, as well as our companions. My human Cole is going to look and act different because he's more human now. I am so curious about this! I wonder if Blackwall is now a real Grey Warden too? This is amazing!

Ha. And here I was, vaguely disappointed that Morrigan and my companions didn't seem to have any issues with the eluvians. I thought the TME lore was ignored. XD Turns out its just that no one said anything.

@Jewelie Ghoulie: *crosses fingers* I hope it's something like the Witch Hunt DLC! Where it revealed a little about Morrigan's plans but not all of them (enough that she can turn up in future games), and where her story isn't over but her story with the Warden is. Whether you part on good terms, you stab her in the gut or (if male and in a romance with her) you walk through the Eluvian with her, the game makes it clear that her story with the Warden has been wrapped up.

 

Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope it's sort of like that with Solas! At least, I hope it doesn't have to turn out sad... but I would like some closure either way. *crosses fingers*

Honestly? I just prefer to not think about all of this for a moment.

 

Uh... waiting till September 8th will be HARD. It will be difficult not to speculate and guess what's the story's really about or what will await both Quizzy and all of our companions or LIs, while I try and mentally PURGE myself of any preconceived notions, before I grab this DLC into my little, greedy hands.

My entire Twitter feed was (and somewhat continues to be) a massive sea of squeeing fans, excited devs, and feels. It's 9pm and I feel like taking a nap. But I think I will have a cup of coffee and play some Life is Strange.
