I wish Solas had shown up in his outfit from his romanced tarot card. Not as flashy as gold armor and knee faces, but still very regal looking!

 

 

 

That's the problem. He doesn't see them as godly, but they are on that level.

 

Solas probably just doesn't find super powerful magic to be godly. He knows he's not a god, and he knows the Evanuris aren't gods, but they're all still super powerful. I imagine his perspective is kind of skewed. He can do these things because he has the magic to do so, not because he's godly. The abstract idea of "playing god" seems to be lost on him in his desperation to restore what he destroyed.

Don't listen to her, lurkers! Haven't you seen all the kittens and nugs and sunshine and cookies on this thread? That's what Solavellan's all about all the time.

(Cee, stop scaring away potential sacrifices. At this rate, we'll never have a demon army.)

 

Oh, right, um.....*decorates totally okay and not blighted special cookies*.

Not really a fan either, if I'm honest. I mean, it's Solas, so he could be wearing pink sequin crocs and I'd still be happy to see him, but the ancient elven armor design isn't all that impressive to me. I suppose it's a good thing I'm not in the wardrobe design department though, because a lot of people seem to like it a great deal.

Without the kneefaces and crotchfur and weird metal claws, he looks majestic and menacing, fitting for the Dread Wolf. He admits that posturing is necessary and you can't lead an army of elven death cult followers without looking the part. It's a bit sad to see him like this, because it emphasizes the distance between him and Lavellan. At least his many wardrobe malfunctions are kind of endearing: it's a reminder that even as a rebel mage king he hasn't lost some of his quirks, including an appalling fashion sense.

right Cee and Cap?? thanks I feel lucky

[ChuChu]

...I've always had great admiration for his sense of fashion   

Can we please get an in-game model of this?

[ChuChu]

And also Chuchu, look at the similarities to that sun symbol and the statues in Trespasser:

 

Yeah... those. I'm not sure what to make of those things.... at all!

[Solas]

repeating eyelike shapes in the breach mural in the rotunda remind me of the shapes in that one new trespasser mural. rotunda mural shows the black city in the fade in the exploding breach. I therefore think the trespasser mural depicts the creation of the veil, see there in THAT red circle there is no black city because it wasnt there yet

I have always wondered why his black wolf form has so many eyes. Like what's the meaning of that? Does he see too much and thus feel more of a burden than others? Is it about how he's actually a really good spy (he sure got us fooled in the main game).

My very ill educated commentary on that:

Three eyes has a certain weight to it. Three itself is a powerful number, but some also attribute it to seeing the past, present, and future.... or birth, life, and death.

Or... as two eyes is standard, a third eye is actually a special sight (the inner eye). Having a third eye is representative in some cultures as leading the bearer to places of higher consciousness and enlightenment.

We don't know if the wolf has 3 eyes or 6 eyes since we always see it in profile... but... if he has 6 eyes then you'd have to take the above with a grain of salt and attribute it to sets of eyes as opposed to a single eye.

Could also be his representational form to the Pantheon to give the impression he is always watching them. 

Three is also a cool balanced design element and it might just be as simple as that. Kukuku

Got to love different timezones. Everything intresting always happens when I am sleeping.

 

I know I'm late for the Lavellan party, but going to show my girl anyway as I started my canon playtrough yesterday.

Spoiler

Evalla Lavellan, will be a rift mage with fire. 

 

 

My previous Lavellan was a so called disaster playtrough. I like this girl, but she has now evolved to Evalla.

 

I'll catch up with rest of thread later, but I've to share my opinion about face knees. Face knees are so much better than what Sebastian has.

pride demons have multiple eyes. I think it's an expression of the bestial nature and hard-to-escape gaze (cunning, many agents) of the dread wolf, and his pride

Yep! As long as you ask Solas questions and collect artifacts, you should be able to make whatever choices you want. So long as you haven't enabled that trial where people take double rep hit. 

 

Edit: That said, you do need to take the flirt option in his 'friend' scene at Skyhold [where he takes you to Haven]. If you don't flirt then, you'll be locked out of the romance. 

I think I did the flirt thingy, but what is the "collect artifacts" part? Does that come after "Wicked Hearts"? I haven't done that one yet- still doing all the War Table stuff post-"Abyss." I haven't gotten much of a romance-feel from Solas yet, while Blackwall was already up for a kissing scene before "Abyss." (I'm avoiding the latter to prevent it...)

This picture reminds about peacocks. They use their feathers to intimidate, so multiple eyes in Dread Wolf pictures could also have similar meaning.

 I completely forgot. I'm pretty sure that Solas was originally a wisdom spirit and is now struggling between pride and wisdom.

Collect artifacts means those strengthening veil orbs.

please tell me ur with me my medication make me woozy

 

mythal is bald too cuz ancient elven art and statues has hella bald elves lol

 

this is guess and am sure will look at this in morning and be like wat

[Solas]

also note triangles recurring pattern/theme but i think this is mostly stylistic to add some consistency to elvenstyle art

[FernRain]

More eyes from the mosaic:

Spoiler

And I still don't know what those runes were about .

[Solas]

yeah again, its the eyes around the black city in the fade, since that section is from adamant.

 

i took blue 'runes' for stylized lyrium as there's lyrium nodes and lyrium water in the fade in the lore and stuff

Corypheus & Anders - I can't make you love me.

Jowan & Imshael - a change for the better

Desire Demon & Andraste - Allergies

Witherfang & m!Adaar - That was a mistake

 

Rhys & Connor Guerrin - happy end - This is actually kind of something that could work. Connor is so afraid in Redcliffe if he's alive. Rhys could help him. I wasn't looking for actual ideas, but hmm....

For flirting: To be sure, here's the "flirt" option when you first talk to Solas in Haven.

 

For approval: In general, Solas is incredibly easy to raise approval with. Ask lots of questions, because he approves of nearly every one. Bring him with you when you help people in the Hinterlands, as he gives more approval than perhaps any other companion for small acts of kindness (except maybe Cole and Sera).

 

You've also received Solas' first quest, Measuring the Veil, where you seek out an old elven ruin northeast of the Crossroads in the Hinterlands to activate an elven artifact, yes? There are dozens of other elven artifacts scattered all over Thedas, and Solas gives slight approval when you light each one. Then there's All New, Faded For Her, which nets a good amount of approval if you're kind, supportive, and helpful toward Solas and his spirit friend instead of a jerk.

 

In general too, there is no "deal-breaker" for Solas, except being a jerk to him and his spirit friend in All New, Faded For Her. As long as you don't constantly put down his friend for being a "demon" or make it clear that you only care about the mages or prefer to kill his friend, generally you can do anything Solas disapproves of and he'll still forgive and like you (and love you), provided it doesn't all add up.

 

In my first playthrough, I did a number of things Solas didn't approve of; didn't let him kill the mages in his personal quest, made Cole more human-like, and spared the Wardens, but he still loved me because I did other things he liked to balance it out. (Asked lots of questions, showed open-mindedness toward spirits and the Fade, helped people, helped mages and elves, etc.)

 

On Romance: Yes, Solas' romance doesn't all happen all at once. It's carefully spaced out over the course of the game, and Solas himself has... commitment issues, so you have to be patient and understanding. I think it's worth it in the end though. 

[Solas]
