I wonder if Solas would tell her the whole truth. Part of the reason why he keeps it a secret is that nobody would believe such a thing.

 

The whole truth? Not now, probably, otherwise he'd likely spoil some important events in upcoming DA installments.

 

Unless we get a scene where he whispers this stuff to her ear.

 

Quizzy: "Why are you whispering?  "

Solas: "I don't want to spoil the events to the audience"

Quizzy: "  There's no one around..."

Solas: "Hush"

That girl travelled through the Eluvians, fought an ancient magister, has a hand that tries to kill her and the whole worlds seems to be against her.

I don't think she wouldn't buy it if someone goes "Welp, I was a god all along! Hahaha...haha...ha..."

Seriously, it might involve someone she knows, but at the end of the day our Inquisitor has probably seen it all already.

Solas should know that, after two years of basically going "Where's Waldo Fen'Harel?" on her.

I found this piece just after I complained that everyone seemed to want to hurt Solas.  Thank you, Lavellanlove!

 

My Lavellan isn't an angry Lavellan. She was left all confused and hurt and worried. So that would inform how she'd react, with mixed emotions all at once.

[ElvenTempest]

I'm going to guess by that point in the story the Inquisitor is ready to openly believe just about anything. In fact, if they're told something mundane and simple they might not believe that because of everything that has gone on.

 

Solas: "What I have to tell you... the truth. I am... actually a heavy tea-drinker. I love the stuff. Can't ever get enough."

Inquisitor: *dies*

You made me smile amidst my sorrow. Thank you. lol

I am so tempted to go back to my first save in Haven at the start of DAI and just play all the way through by the time Trespasser drops. Help.

This would fix Solas' one true flaw. His lack of love for tea--- I'm Japanese ! Tea Ceremonies are essential

This. I mean really. My Lavellan was never angry at him just hurt and confused and after two years I imagine her genuine reaction would just be crying and "Why?" would just have to wait a little bit.

I'm now kicking myself for not trying to finish my Lavellan's modded DA:I PT faster.  I don't think I could finish it before Trespasser drops even if I wanted to; I have to be in a wedding over Labor Day weekend, so I'll basically have no time to play.

 

I suppose I could exercise some self-control and try to hold off on Trespasser until I finish that PT.  Psht.  Self-control.  ME

I think mine would be kind of...well, like I would. Two years is a long time, so I imagine it's sort of unfinished business, but she's put it out of her mind and focused on other things. I wouldn't say she's over him, but she did her crying and wine drinking with Dorian years ago.

Its not until she sees him again that it all comes rushing back. She sees him standing there and and it's at that moment that she's speechless and the love comes rushing back.

[Suketchi]

I met him last year actually. We chatted about Dragon Age. I hadn't played DAO yet so I promised he would get an honest review when I saw him again. I'm asking him to sign my DAO game.

 

omg you're so lucky OwO

 

Steve Blum's actually the reason I got into Bioware games XD I got a copy of DAO for free with a purchase at the thrift store, but wasn't really interested at first. Then I saw Steve Blum's name in the credits on the manual...

 

*PPG narrator impression* THUS A BIOWARE FAN-GIRL WAS BORN.

When I got the tea scene, I posted screenshots that afternoon to my Facebook with the caption "We may need to reconsider this relationship, Solas."

 

Completely unaware of anything to come.

 

 

 

I may have entirely too much tea. But at least I have something for every mood.

[Oswin]

So, while I was taking Solas through Descent - Not only did he say next to nothing but he also looked like he did not want to be there. At all.

 

And that's why, before I go to sleep. I shall leave you a distraction from our DLC hellspiraling (THE FEEEEELS) and dump some silliness on ya'll.

 

Presenting:

Solas Hates The Deep Roads through the crazy tired thoughts of Oswin

Everybody loves the Deep Roads!

 

 

[DarthEmpress]

I had no interest in romancing Solas.  I started the game intending to RIDE THAT BULL.  Then Solas won me over with his intelligence, compassion, and smooth confident jerk attitude.  I thought he was going to be an awkward nerd!  And how he's all SEXXX at the ball like whoa take me now rarrr~

 

I hope he does tell Lavellan who he really is, and I hope we get the option to either be horrified ("You're the one my Keeper warned me about!") or confused but accepting.  I'd like it if he only told a romanced Lavellan, sort of like how he only tells her about the vallaslin.

 

My heart... is not ready for all the emotion coming

Come next week I don't think tea will be strong enough for the mood you're like to be having.

If Alix Wilton Regan's trailer VA is any indication...it hasn't been a relaxing two years.  Some part of my Lavellan still cares about Solas, but she's Inquisitor.  She doesn't have the luxury of worrying about one person, no matter how important to her, for that long.  And at least initially, I think her wariness of Solas would override any lingering feelings.  At the very least, she knows better than to let him get away with his old cryptic bull****.  

[what-the-honk]

*emerges from the shadows 84 years later* for real! patrick weekes tends to be....... very mean in terms of making his audience cry, damn him to heck, but i severely hope that whatever ending you get with solas is:

 

1) a choice

2) at least bittersweet, even if its more-so "bitter" than "sweet"

 

personally id be satisfied AND intrigued with an ending where like you have to do something tough if you wanna be with solas, like if u go with him the inquisition gets entirely disbanded or smth. or maybe because solas is kind of mythal now, the only way you can be "with" him is to be bound to him from the well. like, i like tragic and depressing endings when im in the mood for them, but i also like happy ones when im in the mood for them, and what i like above both of those things is a choice, where if you work hard, make the right choices and do the appropriate quests then you can pull through and salvage something good. i think bioware sometimes forgets this and gives you no real decision or weight in the game, then they wonder why people didn't like the ending

 

if there are certain requirements you need to take before you can go with solas (e.g. you have to remove your vallaslin, you have to drink/not drink from the well, you have to respect the temple of mythal, whatever else) i'd still like that too! at least theyd give you the option, to go back and do those things again so you can get the ending you want, instead of locking you into one where you have no freedom to choose 

 

i also reckon that he doesnt necessarily have to tell lavellan the truth, at least not on screen, but if she does decide to go with him for whatever repercussions its implied (or confirmed) that he reveals everything to her

 

UGH! i dont know! im genuinely equal parts nervous and excited. i want there to be a vaguely happy ending with him bc i honestly dont see why there cant be, like morrigan/the warden, alistair/the warden, anders/hawke, etc. they were unlikely and tragic romances that had struggles but eventually pulled through in the end, albeit kind of badly in anders/hawke's case considering they both became fugitives on the run from pretty much everyone

 

*groans* it makes me kinda sad knowing that solas' story isnt done but after this dlc, lavellan's will be. the solas discussion thread may have to turn into a solas rehabilitation thread after this i swear ;A;

 

i am sorry i did not mean to rant it just came out i have so many feelings

[S.W.]

I know it's a bit off topic but since I'm playing my Dalish Mage to romance Solas... I figured I'd ask--- what specialization should I go for? I have only done Knight Enchanter and I love it, but I was thinking of going for rift Mage. Not because of Solas but because its different. What Specilizations are your favorites? Maybe by the time I get to it your opinions help as I'm terribly indecisive .

 
I played KE, then reloaded the same file and played RM instead. I actually prefer KE, to be honest, but I have a lot of affection for the KE specialisation since my first DA:O playthrough was an arcane warrior.
 

Memories of those early times help with the feels.
 
OK, I'm curious: How did Solas first catch your eye?
 
Funny thing is, it wasn't any of the romance-related content that got me interested in Solas in the first place. The romance itself was awesome once I got to it, but what caught my attention was the "Cause and effect. Wisdom as its own reward..." line and doing his personal mission for the first time with my Trev mage Inquisitor.
 
I remember it now... I thought he was just this fade weirdo and nothing more than a plot device to dispense lore on the fade and magic to new players. I had shelved his personal mission for a later time, but went to the Exalted Plains to meet the Dalish clan. Dorian was my main mage at the time, but I thought switching him out for Solas might help earn favor with the clan. (I didn't even know of his opinion of the Dalish back then.  ) Then while running errands for the clan, I went through Enavirus and accidentally triggered his personal mission. 
 
And just like that... I wonder if I'd been better at reading the map back then, maybe I would've been a Cullenmancer who did one PT and moved on to other stuff to do in life. 

 
I must be pretty boring - I was absentmindedly browsing DA wiki after finding a few quest solutions, and I read a few character descriptions for DA:I. Solas immediately caught my eye - a dreamer mage and an elf, knowledgeable and a bit otherworldly. A gated romance also for elven women - I like playing both elves, and mages, and I like learning more about spirits/the fade, and I'm the sort of player who asks ALL of the questions and likes lore/theory junk, so I thought great - let's do this, that's basically perfect for me. When I finally got around to buying the game, I was torn between Cullen and Solas - (tempted by Cullen in the same way I went for Anders in DA2 because I'd met him in Awakening and wanted to jump his bones back then) and flirted with them both heavily at the beginning.
 
I ended up going with Solas because a few posts online indicated there was more lore involved - plus, I really liked how compassionate, sympathetic, and... well, human he was (bad choice of terms), despite being appearing to be a distant, stuck-up fade nerd.
 
Jesus christ I did not know what I was walking into.
 

Also is it just me or no matter your race, does Solas still seem to harbor some sort of interest that's a bit beyond friendship? I always got that vibe.

 
Not for me. My Adaar and has tried desperately to trigger his personal quest but it's just not happening.
 

Am I the only fan who had the 'yes, just one: are you okay?' reaction to that line rather than 'MUST KILL EGG'?  Because it's starting to feel that way.

No - I'm completely with you here. Despite her years of experience, My Lavellen is such a lil softie when it comes to love - she just crumpled and burst into tears when Solas broke up with her. When Solas comes back, I think her reaction will probably include more tears, hugs, and (maybe) gentle kisses.
 

Really? I saw it coming from miles away Their texts were becoming too goddamn intense for it to not... ehm, culminate in something. Can't say I wasn't surprised that it happened in THIS chapter, but eventually I figured this would happen at some point.
 
In any case, I don't mind it 'dragging', if it means a bit more politics, journalism or museum stuff or interactions with other characters - those parts I enjoy. Solas and Ellana obsessively thinking about themselves I can skip. I hope she also won't drag them not meeting in person for too long, it was an interesting hook for quite a while, but now it's getting a bit old.

I haven't read the latest chapter MS yet, but their texts have been filled to the brim with UST for ages, I'm not surprised if it got smutty very quickly. I'm kind of the same - I like all the details about other characters, and the adaptation of DA:I into the modern world.

The only thing I could do without are the comments about being obsessively in love/fawning over each other without any real action, or the da'len/harhen stuff (ew).

I'll probably read it anyway.
 

I wonder why Iron Bull is the only one who ever commented on my Tempest rogue. You'd think Sera might have something to say about it too.

I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. Like, my current rogue uses FLASKS which have FIRE AND LIGHTNING IN THEM and gains super cool powers - surely someone must have comments.
 

I'm going to guess by that point in the story the Inquisitor is ready to openly believe just about anything. In fact, if they're told something mundane and simple they might not believe that because of everything that has gone on.
 
Solas: "What I have to tell you... the truth. I am... actually a heavy tea-drinker. I love the stuff. Can't ever get enough."
Inquisitor: *dies*

^ tbh would not be disappointed with that if it was real dialogue.

Come next week I don't think tea will be strong enough for the mood you're like to be having.

 

Oh there you go.

Yeah. I think for mine - this sort of sums my Inquisitor up after two years of dealing with this b.s.

Spoiler

 

In all seriousness - I think any anger towards Solas may be like 'umm...good to see you to but sort of pissed you abandoned me for two years with this magic killing my hand'

 

And I do agree - i think it woudl be more distrust and hesitation than anything. LIke after two years and no word...most people just sort of move on or at least are able to be ok.
