You can always just set up some of those signal horns from the Western Approach. Ride through on a hart for maximum effect.

Guys does anyone remember if the Inquisitor's arm disintegrates after Solas removes the Anchor or do they need to have the arm amputated? I'm having memories of a tweet saying the former but I don't know if I'm imagining it.

Translation to Patrick's answer:

He removed the Anchor. Your hand was too far gone at that point to save, though.

I think PW said it was the first. That the anchor just burnt out and so did the arm, at least that was one of the earlier tweets. I think there was some alternative answers later.

 

It's really hard to tell what happens with it from the cut scene and I actually thought the ass had left us there to die with the anchor and it had to be cut off. I was really prepared to hate him then....lol

I did publish one short post-trespasser fic. The one I posted here many many pages back after I cleaned it up a bit. I was pleased that at least 30 people read it even if no one on Fanfic commented.

 

I would like to publish at least one of them in the future but I want a number of chapters written before I start that way I can keep writing and have plenty that is already complete to post as I continue. I may run it congruent with my Trevelyan story. Like if you want to know more about the other heroines life read her separate story but it's not necessary to read for either kind of thing. I think this would be best rather than combine the two as that might make it too confusing or way too long. If I did something like that and keep the whole ancient elf in modern Thedas story going there would be three. Yikes! I think I need more time on my hands to do that!

hhmm I tried writing a good amount of stories like that at once. Got pretty difficult, and as I said, I got really stressed. I ended up dropping them altogether because I couldn't handle real life and keeping my stories up to date. 

 

If you feel like you have time, then go ahead, but I'll warn you: you might think you have time, until you actually get into it, and it ends up being much more difficult than you thought it would be. At least that's how it was for me. Writing a lot ahead of posting is always good. That's what I did for my firs fic and the routine posting I did got me a good number of followers. 

 

Just don't try to do too much and stress. It was not a fun time x-x

So...playing through my second Inquisitor and Solas did not like my Adaar's decision to Tranquil magister Erimond after Adamant.  And they were getting along so well too!  Bonding over a mutual dislike of the giant demon army plan  :rolleyes:

 

I do think the Rite of Tranquility is pretty awful, but if anyone ever richly deserved it...

He said it was disintegrated in an earlier tweet, and later said it was completely removed.

Solas really bothers me when I play on my Sera romance Adaar. He makes these racist comments and when she asked him for advice about Sera he disapproved that they were in a relationship. As much as I love Solas, he can be an *sshole sometimes. He's great, but ya know ... that disapproval punch scene is not completely uncalled for.

 

As to tranquility, I'm pretty rooted on the Solas side of the argument. I think it's horrible, not matter how evil the subject. I'd only approve of it to keep a truly dangerous, unkillable mage (the Evanurius) from being crazy powerful and killing people (wonder if Solas made them tranquil). In any other situation I wouldn't do it.

I wrote a Gundam Wing fanfic that I uploaded as I completed the chapters, and even thought it got some really nice feedback and follows, I lost motivation to do it after a while from the pressure and I always feel guilty about never picking it back up again. I am still writing it, but it's gone through so many re-writes it's barely the same fic it started out as, but this time I've promised myself not to upload anything until I'm finished with it, and then all I have to do is remember to upload on a weekly basis and perform checks and edits in between.

 

I'm 6 chapters in so far, and I've got about 15 planned, and it's taken me about 2 years to write where I'm up to so far, but there's no pressure to write quickly for people waiting for it so I feel like I'm producing a better fic because of it. It's been keeping the stress down too. :)

Someone asked few pages ago about possible location to Solas' base of operation.

 

In Trespasser if you speak to Leliana with no-Solas-romance-Inquisitor she says that elves of Tirashan are acting weird. Now Tirashan is a big forest in western parts of Thedas. I think this may not be Solas' main base, but it could be a location to his agents. Also it is possible that The Tirashan is that foresty location shown in elf ending sliders and it could be same place where Abelas went after his mission failure if he is alive.

I'm contemplating taking that on my Disaster Mage playthrough, just purely because every other "punishment" never really feels like one. Even the execution option he's sitting there going "Go ahead, I'll be rewarded in the next life LOL".

 

And I'll be keeping the Wardens, and drinking from the Well! Solas can kiss it. xD His romance is gonna be hard. xD

This is what I'm doing too. Seems to be the best way to produce good work and not stress :D

I'm looking that up right now. I can definitely hop onto this theory. Seems likely that it's related. Dialogue like that isn't random.

QUIZ TIME MA FALONS!

Trailing behind now the thread right now, but who doesn't like to talk about their dear Lavellans?
Spoiler


By the way, I did manage to get a teeny tiny bit of playtime on my Trev earlier before the overwhelming need to write about or play my Lavellan set in again. She just got to the encounter with Flemythal and Keiran.

Something I noticed that hasn't gotten much mention - or if it did I missed it: Keiran opened the Eluvian into the Fade. Not into the Crossroads. Morrigan responds to that with bewilderment, saying it must have taken extraordinary power to do. Extraordinary power that Solas now possesses perhaps?

This reinforces my opinion that Solas doesn't require anything like an anchor anymore. He took everything he needed in the power department from Mythal and now he has the Eluvian network. Solas can possibly step physically into the Fade whenever he wants to now. So, what's that mean for us now? One thing for certain, Lavellan's dreams of him are likely always more than just that.

This feels so true. :)

It's funny, I wrote something that was so dear to me and wrecked my soul trying to put it together and nobody cared. Then I wrote other stuff that was just spur of the moment when I had some free time and at least at few people seemed to like it. So, you never know.

As long as it's fun or helps deal with the feels :)

 

That's how I started too. The feels just kind of poured out of me. Now, sometimes there's more structure to the actual writing, but occasionally like Saturday night, it just kind of all pours out again, both increasing and helping the feels.

 

But it's totally personal. Sometimes people will read and like it, sometimes not. It feels nice when it reaches someone though. You never know, but always do it for you first.

Lol we're screwed

 

Better start singing the National Elf Anthem, and bow down to our new elf overlords.

There's a reason Erimond was my Lavellan's only execution.

The romance one is even less clear since he just does his eye flash magic thing and leaves after kissing you.

Yeah, his prejudices definitely come to the forefront much more when playing Adaar than they did with Lavellan.  Also my Adaar is...blunt to say the least.  They still get along fine due to major decisions (allied with mages, exiled Wardens, saved Wisdom), but it is enlightening butting heads with Solas from time to time.

 

Though after Trespasser, I get why Solas is so fiercely against Tranquility.  Mages are the few people left in Thedas who still have a conscious connection to the Fade, and of course he would see that as precious.  Everyone used to have that connection in his world.  For someone to forcibly sever that connection must seem like the worst sort of mutilation to him.

 

If only there were energybending in this world, eh? :P

Thanks <3

Well, it was my little labor of love that helped me sort out lots of DLC feels and even made more optimistic, so no effort was truly wasted. And I think I even have some edits in mind, so whether others like it or not, I'll still be working on it :)

And for the rest of my chapters, it would be ridiculous to take them seriously, so I just goof around with no expectations whatsoever.
