I am expecting Solas to be a Big Bad Boss in DA4 or DA5, and I am imagining a scene of him crawling on the ground, heavily wounded after an epic fight with the main characters. He will be murmuring something like 'lavellan' or whatever before his death.


*screeches*

Stoppppppp.

I'm going to be very rational and practical here and point out that he doesn't romance every Inquisitor and not every Inquisitor is a Lavellan. This can clearly never come to pass. Ever.

It could be a scene unique to a Solavellan worldstate.

The point being that whatever happens to him has to make sense for all Inquisitors, not just romanced Lavellans.

 

And why does everyone want to see him be the bad guy and die, anyway? Solas being a villain would be interesting, but half the time I feel like people want him dead because they just didn't like the character or because he's bald. Just imagine if we went through everyday life knifing people we didn't agree with. :lol:

Still, I can't believe that even at that point they are addressing each other using the formal 'you'. 

Yep, that's exactly what I thought about the French "vous". At some point, at least, they should drop it for the more casual "tu". I don't believe you'd keep saying "vous" to companions with whom you share so much of your everyday life (like your own tent for example...), especially if they are romanced!

 

That said, Solas is very formal in the way he usually speaks or adresses people. Maybe he would keep some distance by keeping the formal "vous" even in a romance.

Then he won't 'die' and we'll overhear or find a codex saying how an elf that looked a lot like the Quiz was spotted in the area and Solas' body was never found.

They also heard howling wolves when she was seen.

..........otherwise I'd just turn my game off and not finish it. xD

Well then, he'll just die without mentioning Lavellan :P Question is also whether friendship/dislike may be reflected in different outcomes for whatever awaits us. Not all of Inquisitors will befriend him, though we should expect that Inquisitor who managed to do just that may also receive something special.

Yeah, they better not do another "this is how to make the ME3 ending palatable" thing with this DLC.

I don't want him die though I am quite certain of him becoming a villain in future. And I don't think he will end in a way that what common boss like cory or archdemon ended, just a fight and die, no.

You like our pain.

My husband has finally let me at the xbox so I'm hoping to finish up Hakkon to go and finish descent on my second character. I did a lot today already to get me through today and tomorrow. Cleaned the bathroom, did laundry, I have a mask on my face to prep my skin for the emotional onslaught Tuesday. But it's only 2.

I'm hoping it'll be more of an Abelas situation, where you can slaughter him out of hand if you wish (because choices), but you can also talk him down, convince him that the world he wants is just not a world that can ever exist, and/or convince him to lay down his burdens and go elsewhere. If a non-Lavellan, he wanders off to go into uthenera or help other ancient elves. If Lavellan, he goes off to be with her.  :wub:

 

I don't want him die though I am quite certain of him becoming a villain in future. And I don't think he will end in a way that what common boss like cory or archdemon ended, just a fight and die, no.

 

There's a difference between a villain and an antagonist.

 

A villain is an evil character who does evil things for the sake of being evil.

 

An antagonist is simply a character whose goals conflict with the protagonist. They don't have to be evil, or even bad; they just have to conflict with the protagonist about something--whether it's something they want to do that the protagonist feels they can't allow, or the protagonist tries to do something they feel they can't allow. 

 

The devs have stressed time and time again that Solas is not evil or bad; that he is very kind, sympathetic, and cares about all living creatures (from elves to dwarves to vashoth to mages to spirits), and cares about how they're treated. He can't go the same way as them because he's not evil like them.

Lady Insanity aka Ashe put up a quote from the PAX panel when Laidlaw says that Solas will be ongoing so we won't get any closure in this DLC. I had a feeling he was the next Flemeth.


Wait, what??? Solasmancers won't get closure? No happy ending? So everyone gets more content and we get a convo then left alone?
He actually said no closure?

Looks like boyfriend and I are spending the rest of Sunday together so that will push the time further.  I'm sure I'll be back in feels mode tonight when I either write again or go back to Life is Strange.

I think the more direct quote is that Solasmancers might not walk away completely satisfied, but will walk away "utterly intrigued." Whatever that's meant to be.

More fun facts about German Solas.

 

Instead of "You have a rare and marvelous spirit." he says, "Your soul is of such rare beauty." Which sounds SO beautiful, but I always thought there was a hidden meaning to him using the word 'spirit', maybe alluding that the elves are part spirits. Now knowing that they changed that in the translation, I wonder if that's the case.

 

He still says, "In another world...", but Lavellan responds, "What's wrong with this one?"

The devs have stressed time and time again that Solas is not evil or bad; that he is very kind, sympathetic, and cares about all living creatures (from elves to dwarves to vashoth to mages to spirits), and cares about how they're treated. All evidence suggests that what he's trying to do, he feels is for the betterment of "the People" and possibly most/all of Thedas. Maybe a future protagonist will feel they can't in good conscience let him do what he feels he must do, or possibly even agree with his goal but feels they can't allow him to go about it in the way he's going about it (Solas himself says something like, "Sometimes, in order to create the world you want, unfortunate steps must be taken"), but I doubt he'll be a VILLAIN like Cory or the Archdemon, since he's not evil or heedless of suffering of others like them.

 

I'm sorry for using the wrong word. Didn't know the difference. I'm using it because I think I've heard Weekes using this word in a interview or what. Thanks for correcting. :)
