I am toying with the idea of dumping Solas and hooking my Lavellan up with Josephine, like I would've done if he hadn't been a romance.  Not seriously considering it, but still.  Swan Princesses of Awesome sounds like a much better life choice than being stuck dreaming about the Dread Wolf.

 

Spoiler

Yep, I've thought the same, making my fem human warrior my canon and enjoying the sweet life with Josephine. 

 

Haha, I guess I coud do Solas' job for him... Destroy that world state as if it never existed

To be fair to her, Solas at that point only told her that he is determined to restore the elves, even IF it means destruction of the world. At that point his intention of definitely destroying the world wasn't yet known to her. She might have thought that she might help him in some way that doesn't perhaps require such drastic measures - though that's aside from the fact that the option itself sounds more like she's terrified for him and what's he's doing to himself and wants to help him with his burden in some way, rather than eagerly joins his cause.

Spoiler

I don't know, in my game he seemed like he was pretty sure there would be a lot of death and no if's about it; He told her that "in order for his people to rise hers must fall" and never once denied it when my Lavellan told him it would be genocide and I thought that was pretty telling. However, it could have been the options I was picking or I might need to go back and play it again to make sure because I was so emotionally charged ha. That's kind of why I wanted to know what people picked for their Lavellans.

Edit: I also want to say that it was a great thing that Lavellan couldn't join him! It literally gives me more hope that we can either play her again in the future or have her be a major NPC. The variables probably would have been too much for Bioware if your quizzy was allowed to go with him.

[TheEggCrusher]

I also agree!

Spoiler

Who knows, maybe (like in Korra) they will find a solution that works. I'd be all for either outcome. Either the world reverts to what it was, or everyone learns to live with what is. But personally, I think the way Thedas is... is broken.

Spoiler

"Broken" is the perfect way to put it. It's completely broken, the way I see it. And though it is Solas' fault, he is the only person that can fix what he has done. I'd rather it be fixed by him, than never fixed at all.

I've spent too much time with Lavellan for her to NOT be my canon.  But that doesn't mean she has to end up with Solas if he's going to keep buttsing things up.

 

It's mostly just talk at this point.  I've also spent too much time invested in her and Solas to just drop it.  But man, part of me wishes she'd gone for Josie first and saved herself a world of heartbreak.

TBH, the romance thing doesn't bother me much. It's the salughter-everyone-in-Thedas-like-cattle thing, which hurts no matter if he's romanced, a friend, or just a character I really care about. So I don't see myself dropping Solavellan either. 

 

But I'm sure the almighty headcanon will produce something to comfort me till DA4 comes out.

ooh, so many tags!

I've been doing my best to stay away from spoilers, but there is one question I need answered.

Spoiler

Does Solas reveal his true identity to the Inquisitor?

Yes

[Dr. Doctor]

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.

Spoiler

"Solas, I always hoped that you'd ask for my hand, but this is ridiculous."

[Caddius]

Spoiler

So let's take a look at Mythal and Solas's meeting. Clearly, Mythal is willing to go along with his plan. But, er, what the devil has Mythal been trying to do for centuries?
1) Wake up the Great Dragons, using the Theirins as pawns.
2) Grab Old God souls using a Warden, hosting the 'purified' soul in a child and then taking the power for herself.

These all seem to be about preserving as much of the old power as possible. Preserving her world as best she could with the Veil still intact. Perhaps she couldn't tear down the Veil because she didn't know how, as Solas designed it? 
Then she's willing to die to give that power to Solas. Did they have the same goal? Does she just want vengeance on the Evanuris, or does she like the idea of restoring the world as it was too? Is she using him?
I don't see Mythal as taking in elves to shelter them from Solas's plans, if some fragment of her still exists. I see her acting as Solas's friend and ally, as it was in the old days.

What does Cole's comment mean? "His friend had to die, because he thought they were people. A slow arrow breaks in the sad wolf's jaws". Is that about Felassan? .

Spoiler

So apparently Mythal and Fen'harel worked together more closely than I would have thought. Anyone with a better grasp of Elven know what they're saying? Specifically, Adaar saying 'Anaris', one of the Forgotten Ones' names. Is that just because Anaris is a word in of itself, or because he was making reference to Anaris?

It means Solas killed Felassan because the latter started having doubts about the whole destroy the modern world thing after bonding with Briala. He started seeing people as people, and at that point Solas hadn't.

Spoiler

It's when you go talk to spirit Cole after you've returned from your first crossroads excursion. Here's a screenshot of some more things he said that I think related to Solas..

[Kadan]

Spoiler

I get that and I definitely get why she would join him. From an RP standpoint, my Lavellan would say, "As long as I can be with you, all of Thedas can burn."

 

What I was talking about in that post is why Solas said no when she asked him if she could join him in the final scene. 

He made a certain comment here that almost explains why he doesn't want her with him.

 

Spoiler

I'm still a bit emotional over the whole thing so I'm not going to go back and watch the recording I made, but he says something like "No, I would not have you see what I've become."  He wants her to think of him as Solas, and not the Dread Wolf.

[Qun00]

Given just how much the Solas romance is tied with the main story, it seems like Inquisition was meant to be played with a Dalish elf.

It also doesn't feel right to waste the privilege of learning the truth about the fall of Arlathan on someone from another race.

Alas, I'm far too attached to my female Qunari Inquisitor.

Spoiler

It is important to acknowledge this is before the inquisitor could convince him that the modern Thedosians are people, too. 

 

What's unsettling is that he'll probably go along with the same plan he came up with when he thought they were all less than people in the first place. 

 

Thanks for bringing that up. It's a really good point that this was before Solas met quissy.

[Lady Artifice]

So many spoiler tags, and I can't read any of them.

 

Good thing I've got the next two days off work. Here I go into gaming hibernation.

uumm .. the last piece of dialogue just blew my mind ...

 

is it possible that Solas was once more of a spiritual being? There's a codex in the crossroads hinting that some elves never had a fully physical form. It was in the library, I don't know how to find it to show you guys. 

 

If so, that would be totally insane and fascinating. It would explain the creation of the elves, and as Solas puts it, "the first of our kind." 

 

It would also explain why he didn't see those separate from the fade as true people.

 

Excuse me while i fangirl-squeal for a good couple minutes.

What exactly did it show? Because in my game

Spoiler

he just lights up her arm and leaves. Nothing else happens, then when I get to the winter palace, it's gone. I didn't see anything happen. Sort of confusing and surprising.
