Vivienne is interesting in her ambition and sounds tough as nails but very image aware in terms of surviving and thriving. The question with her is will Image win out or will the Power of the Inquisition be enough to override what could be race gating?
actually I don't care that much about race gating, as long as I don't have to play as a male dwarf. I just hope she'll be a (bisexual) romance option. ^^ But since having a relationship with an elf would be quite scandalous, I could imagine her being gated against them.
I'd always planned to only romance him with elven characters (a mage and a rogue) so I'm not disappointed but feel for those who are. I don't think him being elf only is at odds with his being open minded, he might not be against romancing humans and dwarves in principal, he might just not fancy them. Or he may have a strong belief in the survival of elves (which is understandable), and see relationships with other humanoid species as working against that belief... which might mean he wants to be a Dad! ![]()
Mark could be referring to Mike's interview with Swedish Gameinformer (or was that Swedish IGN??). Regarding "how romances work", and using Solas as an example of reaction/approval. *shrug*
That's what I was thinking, too. WAS HE CONFIRMED THAT LONG AGO AND NO ONE SAW FIT TO TELL US

Yeah, I took the interview as confirmation of LI status. But the interview never said anything about gender/race gating, I'm shocked that he's elf only.
[AWKWARD CONFUSED BIRD NOISES] MAYBE ELF ONLY? NO WORD ON SEXUALITY. CAPS FOR CONFUSION AND FRANTIC ANXIETY.
I saw! I usually play elves anyway.
Okay let's see.... Oh? *sees link to Twitter* What is th-?
*Solas possibly confirmed as LI; race-gated to elves only?*
....
*SCHREECHING* OH MY GOD WHAT IS IT TRUE OHMY GOD
Ooo mine is an elf anyway. Glad I decided that.
I did too! Happy about my first run, but sad I'll have to play elf all the time to get Solas loving. ![]()
I might have to discontinue some art... ![]()

I'd pretty much taken it as a subtle confirmation too and do think that is what Mark is referring to.
(Also, totes OT, but did anyone see the tweet by Mike saying the keep works well on mobile? Hope that means i can use it on my iPad, because epic.)
I don't think I'm breaking NDA by saying I have viewed the Keep on my iPad.
I just want to know what Mike said that he is referencing. Anyone see what Mike said? Need to know gender before I get excited. They really really need to be better at revealing this stuff. It sounds like in his mind it was already revealed. Communication people! Need to communicate!
Exactly. Would it kill them to just write "Solas: bi, elf only. Congrats!"
I see Vivienne as the sort of person who goes for what she wants and gets it. So if she wants a dwarf/elf/qunari Inquisitor, she'll go for it.
I wonder if Solas being only available to elves is perhaps for cultural reasons of some sort, but I'm not very au fait with elves.
She fancies survival.
I.e. she may plan to use Inquisitor for her own ends, but she won't let her personal feelings take over. Kinda reminds me of Raistlin and Morrigan.
Mark could be referring to Solas as being at least confirmed to romance elves only (so far). As in so far we have confirmed that he can romance elves. We don't know about other races yet. At least that is what I'm hoping. I'll wait for something official before I get disappointed.
Good GOD I would be posting a bunch of gifs but I'm on my mother's crappy computer which is slow..... :/
I feel as if Darrah's tweet was confirmation enough...but I want to know what gender he goes for like I said before.
WHAAT? What just happened? This is the second time they say things like "Wasn't that clear already?" (Alistair's Mother). How can they do this to us??
Solas is 1 of the few companions who do not betray my expectations on them
i aprove that he is elf female only and this is make sense, its a pity that Sera is lesbian because i want to romance her with my elf mage Inquisitor
I CAN'T CALM DOWN
I'm alone at my house so I free to freak out as I see fit. But it is... contained....
Man, what a half-bummer. All of the LI announcements have been half-bummers for me, as the three I wanted are (possibly, in his case) romances, but none can be romanced by my female Trevelyan.
I have some elves planned, but I am not entirely comfortable playing female elves in DA, mostly because of the City Elf origin/strong themes of fetishization that surround so many of the female elves in lore, so if he really is elf-only, he went from being my primary romance to "maybe 8 playthroughs down the road, once I know what to expect".
