Or Eredin. OH WAIT...

 

Why not Avallac'h ? Seriously, the Aen Elle are probably the most advanced Elves in fantasy. They have genetic engineering and inter-dimensional teleportation and who knows what else.

I still wonder on what Solas, mean when he said that for him mortals of the DA looks like tranquil compared to the ancient elves

 

Spoiler

 

The Veil removed a lot of the magic from the world and the elves, so to him, waking up thousands of years later, it is like everyone is only operating on 5% battery as opposed to 100% before. There's little magic in comparison and the Veil cuts the world off from the Fade. Much has been lost, and his gaze is very often in the past.

He means that he sees modern thedosians as little more than automatons, really. They lack personality. They lack agency. And he's using that view to justify his killing.

Or Iorveth.

IOOORVETH.

He could be my archer while Sera is busy pranking people at Skyhold.

I would definitely accuse Sera of being a squirrel and hand her over to Roche.

I'm reminded of all of those conversations he has with other companions. It's quite brilliant how they make us think we understand the context, only to BAM hit us with some more revelations.
The one between him and Blackwall about remembering them all when it's through, how they stood against the tide, and their courage...
Well. That's less heartwarming in hindsight, yes?

You're over thinking it. "Of the day" is a turn of phrase for "modern" or "of the moment." And of course they do. Way back when? Everyone was a mage. The way in which modern Thedasians experience the world is like a mage looking at a tranquil. And if we've learned anything about how modern Thedasians (particularly mages) look at and feel about Tranquil.. that should give you a good clue of just how heavily he looks down on you and your world.

sorry misclicked i meant DA  which was Dragon age not DAY.

Spoiler

also i thought that Solas,was referring to everyone mages included,because in his mind mages of the ancient elven kingdom were completely different.

LOL, that was actually the first banter (on 2nd playthrough, of course) that made me think "Holy crap, I think I know where this is going!".

[Cee]

Spoiler

Okay, that's interesting... If we end the romance (by picking 'what we had is over') and get the 'friendly' response only, the Inquisitor can tell Solas that he doesn't have to destroy this world and that Inky will prove it.

Solas responds to this: "I will treasure the chance to be wrong again, my friend"

 

 

Spoiler

 

This makes it even sadder, in a way, since we figure he feels resigned to his plan, but something in him wants to be stopped/proven wrong. Oh, Solas. I want to hug him and drag him back until he can be made to see sense.

Ugh, tell me about it!

 

• Blackwall: You've seen many things in the Fade, how do you know they're true?
• Solas: I don't. Everything in the Fade is a memory and memories are all too easily muddied. Just like your history books, they contain truths, but reason and sense are required to extract it.
  -> The people aren't real, yadda yadda. Your history is built on false beliefs, grrr...
   
• Blackwall: I am sorry about your... friend. Losing someone is difficult.
• Solas: Thank you. The death itself was less painful than what came before.
• Solas: Seeing a good spirit twisted, its nature defiled.
• Solas: Those mages knew nothing of my friend. Worse, they did not care.
• Blackwall: I... don't know what to say.
• Solas: Nor will you, until you've seen ignorance snatch away all that you love.
• Solas: Pray such a day never finds you.
  -> You say that, and yet that is EXACTLY what you have planned, Solas.

Also gives you new perspective on just why he dislikes Inquisitors who use people's faith to control them and go around saying I AM THE HERALD OF ANDRASTE KNEEL BEFORE ME.

That particular conversation reminds me now of a man watching a cat video. "Aww how cute. Lookit them fighting."

 

It makes all the romance scenes kind of creepy for me now. Especially the 2nd one. "Are you sure you're actually a person? Are you sure it wasn't just MY MAGIC that made you a person??? Ok, you said you're a person let's make out."

I don't want a crossbow arm.  I want an arm that can shoot fireballs.  That must be possible, right?  Make it like a mage's staff so it channels her power.

 

Spoiler

My poor dual-wield assassin. Hopefully whatever she gets can work with daggers.

 

[Uirebhiril]

About the one thing that happens near the end...

 

Spoiler

I found gifs of where Solas removes the arm of what I assume is a friendly Inquisitor. You actually see it happen. Supposedly the same thing happens with the romance but you see him walking away from a still-armed Lavellan. Weird.

 

Still trying to find where he hates the Inquisitor.

I think an awesome prosthetic hand made my Dagna and covered in lyrium runes would work, don't you?  And then we can add more runes or different ones to change it's properties like adding defense or additional damage.  Cause I would totally like to see that in the next game.

I have already planned out my conversation with my friend: (who is still trying to get past the registration problem with DA2. Anyone have any advice for that, actually? :/ )
"So, what do you recommend for a romance my first playthrough?"
"Well, the two best are definitely Blackwall and Solas. But, y'know, Blackwall's a Warden of a certain age...And it's Bioware. The Solas romance, on the other hand, won't cost you an arm and a leg."
"Well, all right. You're giving me an easy one because you told me to romance Anders last time, right?"
"Right!"

[Miss This or That]

I am currently analysing all of the companion's talks featuring Solas and...damn, the one if the Inquisitor romances Blackwall hits hard!

Thoughts under the spoiler cut, btw. Because, well, Trespasser spoilers.

Spoiler

• Solas: So, you and the Inquisitor are together.
• Blackwall: Yes. Is that a problem?
• Solas: Far from it. People should seize any chance for a moment's respite in times such as these. I am glad you've allowed yourself some happiness.
• Blackwall: I expected you to think that I should keep punishing myself.
• Solas: I would be concerned if you forgot your past, but that seems unlikely. Beyond that, guilt is a distraction. One we can ill afford.
• Blackwall: What of you, then? Have you found someone to share a moment's respite?
• Solas: I find my peace elsewhere.

It has become very clear to me that Solas, though being filled with guilt, clearly tries to shove it away from himself in order to go through with his plan. Then there is the famous 'the healer has the bloodiest hands' and also, how he says to Blackwall that he will remember the people of Thedas. Ugh, Solas!

 

Edit:

 

Spoiler

• Cassandra: It is interesting to hear a mage's perspective of our abilities, Solas.
• Solas: I am pleased you find it so.
• Cassandra: I am taught my abilities come from the Maker. You probably think it silly.
• Solas: Your abilities declare the world real. Who, if not the Maker of this world, could grant such a gift?
• Cassandra: You believe in the Maker?
• Solas: I am always open to new ideas.

OMG, hints everywhere.

Very good find, but I'd recommend putting the banter under spoiler tags as well, particularly with the underlined bits. Better to be safe than sorry.

Spoiler

Solas is essentially out of his own genre. He came from a world of high fantasy where everything was bright and magical, and now he's stuck in low fantasy land where we have to walk everywhere and wear shoes. People are mortal- they die quickly, so most of their life is spent concerned with essentials that allow them to survive. A non-slave elvhenan didn't have to worry about those things. They had thousands of years of enlightened, beautiful culture. 

 

Solas cares about personal freedom. There are numerous dialogues where he talks about how its better for someone to do something they want, even at the cost of their own life and livelihood, than be mediocre. He's annoyed with the Qun on how it represses exceptional people.

 

I think Solas sees most mortals of today as people who are just mediocre. It isn't bad to be mediocre. But he feels he has an exceptional few to save- and its better that those people make the most use of their lives than people who are just living their lives out in an 'animalistic' fashion. 

 

 

Now, with that said. There's also the genuine possibility that it isn't even that complicated. He sees them as tranquil because he has to. If he sees them as people, he would have to confront the very evil and monstrous actions he's planning to undertake. Seeing them as 'people' disrupts his goals. It means that the mistake he made thousands of years ago is forever real, and there's no going back.

No problem, I did that. I actually tried to do so, but must have misplaced the spoiler tag in my frantic search for more hints. There is a TON more to find. Solas' talk is just dripping with information.
