Just a thought about the next Dragon Age PC:

Spoiler

I think it's very possible that the next PC is still going to be the Inquisitor, because:

- In the end, everybody gets a pretty similar outcome. Inquisitor is alive, missing a arm, chasing after Solas (with or without the firm intent to kill him). That could explain why they didn't make it possible to follow Solas or get killed by him. 

 

-They say you need to get new people, some that Solas won't know about, and they're going to get reinforcement from Tevinter. This is a reason to get a new crew, and explain why most of the Inquisitor companions won't come back. I'm thinking Mass Effect 2 here, where they had Shepard disappear for 2 years, just to give her a new crew.

 

-That could be why it's called Dragon Age: Inquisition instead of Dragon Age 3. Because they wanted to make a trilogy, i'm thinking MAss Effect again, with the amazing popularity of Shepard. So we might have Dragon Age Inquisiton 1, 2, 3.

English not being my first language, I hope it makes sense

 

Spoiler

The devs have always been firm that DA is not a trilogy. In fact, DA2 was meant to be Dragon Age: Exodus (for some reason the subtitle got dropped and now it's the odd game out).

 

I doubt the Inky is going to be the main PC in DA4 but I do think they're going to be a dual protagonist.

 

Oh, it was way back just before release, there was a spoiler troll in the twitter thread and I lost my **** at him. Can't remember if it was pms or not but he was being exceptionally...trolly... anyway I got a 24 hour ban and a warning point for inappropriate language. and being right before release it almost killed me!

OMG Solas totally told us!

 

Spoiler

Inquisitor: Are you ever concerned that you’ve turned your back on your people?

 

Solas: I have done no such thing. I simply see no way to help the elves, oppressed as they are now.

 

Inquisitor: The man who has lived half his life in the Fade has no ideas?

 

Solas: Not unless we collapse the Veil and bring the Fade here so I can casually reshape reality, no.

#huh#about that

 

[Solas]

I am not so sure Thedas

 

Spoiler

won't die of Blight

Spoiler

I'm not so sure either! Modern Thedas is in many ways a crapsack world and there are many things threatening to consume it.

 

But I still don't see the romanticness & justification over 'and nooow we will rule over this genocide-created new world together as godmonarchs', lol. If you look at Solas as a character, his whole deal is that he personally doesn't wanna rule over anything.

And he either doesn't want to or doesn't intend to survive what he's planning.  So...not so much with the whole god-king thing, though I will admit that it's kind of hot in fanon

[Illyria]

Spoiler

Thanks for reading and feedback! As you prolly saw I also wrote of that line, 

 

For another, despite the seeds of doubt that he seems to display in DA:I and Trespasser, he has faith and hope that his plans will work and are needed and the new world will be good enough to be worth the cost. He has a dream of life-that-used-to-be and of life that can be restored, a dream to restore what he sees as “life” to a world where the people are not-people akin to Tranquil and basically not alive. And hell… if folk are to survive the change that is to come, they’ll sure af need faith, hope and dreams of life.

 

BUT I agree with your interpretation too. So many layers of potential meaning in each line damn bioware writers good at their craft. with your permission Illyria I'd add your tidbit on that line & credit you there of course.

 

Sure thing.

It's funny in retrospect, how bluntly honest he always has been with us, in a way.

Sure thing.

yay thanks

My Lavellan loves Solas with all of her heart but she would never choose him over the world. This is all she has ever known, and will kill him if she has to to save her family, those she's closest to. Not her clan, but her friends.

I think she would try to find another way, figure something else out if she could. I imagine she's doing research now more than anything, and it will, like some people said, be like a chess match.

And something I was just thinking about in regards to that...

 

Spoiler

If you were to go with Solas to help him, how would he see the person you are as a result? He thinks he has to do what he's doing to atone, out of guilt, compulsion, whatever... but if you say you're happy to give up the whole world and watch people die just to be with him, could he abide that in you? Even if it might come across as a bit hypocritical. I'm sure someone gets what I mean. I find it hard to think he'd be great with a person who can casually watch others die just for something they want, rather than something that seems absolutely necessary. 

[Delphine]

 

Solas’s face during “The Dawn Will Come” always kills me, he’s just like

“Why the **** are they forming a circle around the Herald and singing to them HUMANS ARE REALLY ODD.”

“How the **** do they know this song, i dont know this song…”

You know, with it being revealed that he's only been awake for a little more than a year in that scene and he feels like he is in a sea of tranquil....and Quizzy hasn't proven him wrong yet.....

 

His facial expression makes a lot more sense knowing all that now. He's probably shocked that all these Tranquils are doing something so emotional. Together.

Current mood toward Solas: Let me hug you.

[redbowlingball]

redbowlingball:

Spoiler

have the most sincerest empathetic hug, I so know how you feel about DAI and grieving, I lost my SO (passed away) not long before DAI came out and it was looking forward to the game that kept me going (i'm sure that sounds ridiculous to someone reading..) but just, I'm sorry I don't have the words to express the feelings pouring from me towards you on reading your post, I don't know how to express it. but hug.

 

Spoiler

Hugs right back at you. I totally understand the way games like this can keep people going. All I wanted to do in the immediate aftermath was play DA. I felt guilty about not feeling guilty about it. Now I know that I shouldn't have and I hope you know that it's not ridiculous to have kept your head above the surface with a game. Did it meld onto your brain too? For me it was soothing and cathartic and basically kept me sane. I could zone out while herb gathering in the Hinterlands and think about things, or I could get completely involved in the story when thinking sucked too much. I was living in Germany at the time and didn't speak the language so it was a real lifeline for me. Thankfully I'm recently back home (ILU Scotland  ) but find now that I have people to talk to that no one understands just what this game means to me. It's hard when people I haven't seen for ages ask me how I've been coping; I want to say 'well, I'm actually ok, there was this amazing game that helped me a lot' but it leaves them flummoxed. I don't comment here much but I love this thread and it means a lot to know there's others who share my experience and feelings for the game. So many hugs to you. 

 

redbowlingball and Solas 

 

Spoiler

Ok, so I neverrrr talk about personal stuff in forums (cuz I'm self conscience about it) but I can't not comment. I lost my Dad in April and playing DAI and reading a great novel (Daughter of the empire), helped me through the hardest parts. Reflection and quiet is a must for me after a loss but the beautiful distraction offered by DAI and DTE was a wonderful thing. In particular, walking the Emerald Graves felt rich to me because I interpreted it as a place of beauty and memory. 

 

Ok I'm getting too deep. Anyway thanks for your posts. I'm sending a hug in your directions. 

 

 

Spoiler

I loved the Emerald Graves too. I just loved the huge maps, it was so easy to get lost and reflect. It was almost like taking time out to wander on my own when I wasn't in a position to do it physically. I found the Hissing Wastes particularly good at this. It was so beautiful and vast, it was pretty much the next best thing to actually packing up and trekking through a desert. Hugs to you too.

Current mood toward Solas: Let me hug you.

And then slap you ten times to try and get out your crazy. And then hug you again. And scream that you're being an idiot. And then kiss you till you can't breathe. And then hug again. 

 

I'm very conflicted

So... What happens now?

[midnight tea]

I like this observation.

Spoiler

Well, in case of elven Quizzy, no matter how approved prior to Skyhold, this is the first time he officially recognizes them as kin, calling them 'lethallin' when they leave to speak in private.

 

It may not 'just' be that people flock around in one common cause, it may be WHOM they flock around - Inquisitor is the catalyst of change and bringer of hope. He/she affects everyone around, on a profound level - as Justinia in the Fade says, Inquistor's steps "can move mountains" both in real world and the Fade. I think this is what makes approved Inquisitor so "real" in Solas' eyes - the sheer force of personality that, through actions or attitude, spills around, affecting and changing the world.

 

It all goes back to my musing whether Inquisitor is some form of soul that existed in abundance in pre-Veil time and that Solas never expected anyone like it to manifest and thrive in Thedas. Well.. it turns out that this is pretty much exactly the case.

 

In other words: Solas just stumbled upon a unicorn Which makes me think that this scene from "The Last Unicorn" may be what he's kiiiiiinda going through, internally:
