Just saw this review of Trespasser:

 

 

I am so... confused. Lacking loot? Lack of story? Did we even play the same DLC?

[GoldenGail3]

Because nugs

Yesh, and she's good for people like me, whom love the jealous diaglou between Morrigan and herself. I did that once, it was amazing!

[flabbadence]

I might give this fic a read as well. *bookmarks it*

 

Hurrah!

Agreed Ö_Ö WTF I mean... since the first game all the thing about elvhen history etc. Gods etc and everything.. (well almost) comes clear in one DLC freaking ending. For me it was a mindblow like so much info. Also for me there was so many loot things that I had to go back to do those things again when I did not figure out every looting place at first x_x

It's totally 5am and I doubt anyone will see this until tomorrow but....

 

I just saw this on Tumblr. The idea that "Justice" in Anders may actually be Elgar'nan.

 

I think......it's fairly plausible. I'm not really down with the whole "Look, another Evanuris!" thing that seems to be happening all over the place, but this one seems to be the most legit of the ones I have seen such as Sera=ANdruil or Cole=Falon'Din.

 

And if it turned out to be true.....based on early statements of mine from yesterday.......I may or may  not find Elgar'nan hot.

 

*sigh*

 

Off to bed with that thought I suppose.

So finished my canon playthrough. I am not easily moved by games, but hell. "I will never forget you, my love", moved me rather lot... and made me realize, that any hope I might be harbouring for a/ a good resolve in their wicked relationship is in vain - he practically waved a definite goodbye there -, b/ I am not getting my Inquisitor back next game. It just, somehow, implies...

 

I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions but the game ending appears to be set precisely for that.

Which is a shame, because I'd love to play her again. And make him kneel.

 

No seriously, I am going through an artificial heartbreak here. My husband's gonna flip. Already hating on Solas.

Made dwarven character, to keep myself awaaaaay from Fade and feels, and am planning to antagonize that smooth Elvhen. No better cure for heartbreak than revenge... while keeping Solavellan in tact as I desire.

 

Some screenshot break (I think I can stop using Cinematic Tools now... too many pictures.):

Last kiss

Spoiler

Gremlins breaking immortal hearts

And my new personal favourite, a little darker, sexier Solas

Seriously, women and bad boys. Never ends well. (But the journey can be exciting... ... .. thank Creators for my mostly fluffy and only very occasionally dangerous husband )

 

Edit:

Also, a bit offtopic, but I've got freaked out yesterday. My 3 years old son was sitting in front of me and casually chatting up. It took me a bit to realize that he wasn't chatting up me, but someone, or something, next to me. I observed him and made sure he is always looking up same way. He was vividly arguing with empty space half a meter next to my shoulder. For about 5 minutes.

And all that just when I was giving a thought to the humanity's fascination with magic and trans-fixation with spiritual, whilst having none of it, at least for adults.

Gave me shivers for sure.

Hope it was Cole.

 

All of my kids had imaginary friends at that age.

 

I was in the store and she was maybe 18 months old....anyway she had a imaginary butterfly friend (probably a fairy or pixie)  that went everywhere with her. I told her to leave her 'pet' in the car. She didn't. We were in line and all of a sudden she starts screaming and crying and trying to get out of the cart to chase after her 'pet'. Everyone is staring and I'm wondering how do I calm a little girl that has lost something I can't even see? So Like any rational mom I simply reached out and snatched the thing from thin air and handed it back to her. End of screaming fit and I was her hero....Now she is a mouthy teenager but I still love her

[Janic99]

Spacedino boyfriend:

• 3 increasingly suicidal suicide missions
• 2 badass rescues (though I suppose I rescued him )
• 1 bottle shooting contest
• 100+ moments of snark
• 1 actual tango
• 2 in-game sideways tangos
• 1 Hollywood dipkiss
• 1 booby-trapped apartment

Egg:

• -1 hand
• 2 badass rescues (with him saving my life this time)
• +1, then -1 Anchor
• 1 ballroom dance
• 2 apocalypses
• -1 heart
• -1d20 sanity (-1d10 on a successful saving throw)

...I think Garrus won.  Because math.

Well... I guess you guys are lucky since I could never like Garrus more than a bestie. I fell for Thane and got my heart broken by him and now with Solas.. damn it you lucky b*stards...

I used to be pretty spiritual. If I were to find myself in Thedas, I'd probably click with Solas and COle on many levels.

However, somehow, on the way, I've lost it. Most of my imagination, faith and believes were simply stomped into the ground by other people... The game kinda re-ignited it, makes me think about... things.

 

Maybe.

 

Or maybe I am merely going crazy. Middle East does that to you.

Aww that is adorable. I find it amusing how there are so many people on this thread that are already married or have children or they are in their 30's or more Of course there are younger people here as well.. including myself. But sometimes I wish I could also tell these kind of stories but as I am 20 years old and currently single I cannot relate these things the same way. I still love when people talk about these things I never had imaginary friend as a child but I did see weird things and I remember those heh and yes.. I can remember clearly what I saw and I could still draw pictures of them.. I just wish not to haha also I was in junior high the last time I saw something very clear. I wish not to see things so clearly... <.<'''

I think I would be like that too. I actually feel comfy leaving my inky with Cole. Idk maybe it is because of the things I've experienced myself. I mean I do love to check out paranormal things and so on as I've experienced many things but Idk what those were. I am kinda like inky like '' I am curious yet a little bit scared... yet.. I don't know but I want to know more... ''

I think that is why I got pretty much along with Solas and Cole in my playthroughs Sera in the other hand... well.. and Bull as well.. they did not really approve of me all the time <.<''

It is October...slightly less wait for the last Life is Strange episode, but still too far away.

 

I own Transistor too, but haven't played yet.

Yeaaaah that's what my friend said too. Good time to play the game since the next chapter is on its way.

Transistor is good. Um. I can already tell that it's going to tug at my heart strings a little. The narration is great

 

[Wynele]

Same here. I thought Cullen and Chiara had some pretty good chemistry and entertained a "in another world..." playthrough where they got together, but it quickly became confusing and upsetting because she's supposed to be with Solas. I've spent literally hundreds of hours playing the game with them and perhaps hundreds more fantasizing about them. She can't be with anyone else.

Wound up having to make a new character with a whole new name and appearance for Cullen.

For Solas, whatever happens, my girl will still always commit to him. Even if it ends tragically. If it becomes too sad to bear, I'll just have to make another character who loved someone else because my girl's fate is tied to Solas.

 

I always try to romance someone else, and just...CAN'T.    

 

Even my Adaar, whom I made to romance Blackwall, has moments of "Why won't you love me?!" In Solas' direction.  

 

Adaar:  Hey, sweetheart.  Have you ever thought of shaving?

Blackwall:  My beard?  I could shave it if you want, or trim it maybe if it really bothers you.   

Adaar:  hmm... No, I mean yes.  That too  *bites lip, squints, and pictures*  But mostly your head. 

Blackwall:  My  *confused* head?  Is this a Qunari thing? Weren't you raised outside the Qun?

Adaar:  *sucks in a breath*  Hush... you're ruining the moment.

Blackwall:  I'm so leaving you naked in the barn.

 

My Lavellan flirted with Cullen, a bit...and she does like him...but, he's not Solas human and an ex-templar.  She's a dalish mage.  But, in truth, I just can't get invested in another romance.  Stupid Sexy Solas.

*grabs Solas and drags them back into the thread*

Lmao. Just imagining Blackwall bald...and I have to say that I'm pretty glad that he ended up with all the hair and Solas got saddled with none. While I do like the earlier concept art of Solas with long hair...I quite like him bald. Plus, I've always made my Dragon Age PCs bald, so it was nice to see a bald companion too. My current Lavellan has long hair, but I fully intend to shear it all off after the Vallaslin scene with Solas.

 

 I played Inquisition blind the very first time -- blind as in I only had a vague idea of the plot, and little idea of who the companions were or would be like, apart from Leliana, Cullen, Varric, Cassandra and Morrigan. I started out with a female Trevelyan who was intended for Cullen, and so went happily along with the introduction, dreaming of wondrous Cullenmance fluff...until I encountered Solas for the first time.

 

My jaw dropped when I saw him.

 

I then frantically took to Google to see if he was a possible romance option. Broke my heart to learn that he wouldn't romance my Trevelyan, it did. And so: I've been playing a Lavellan ever since, and have never looked back -- though after my current playthrough with Tenebrian Lavellan, I'll probably go for someone wildly different. Maybe.

...I'm sorry, I feel like I haven't done enough to point out just how much I love The Dread Wolf's Heart, and I really want you guys to read it because it's my favorite Solavellan fic ever, so I'm just going to leave the tags I used when trying to rec it on Tumblr here:

 

#lavellan #solas #solavellan #this fic #THIS #****** #FIC #holy **** #i want to write essays about this fic #i want to write ****** poetry to this fic #i want to call it up and set a date and bring it home to meet my parents because this fic is damn fine #please #if you haven't read this yet #go read it #you deserve to be happy #you deserve this wild ride #through time and lore and all the reaches of Thedas and all the ups and downs of the human heart #well ok #elven hearts mostly #good god #just read it #you will thank me #and love the author feynite because holy **** #****** creativity #incredible writing #the kind that's simple and restrained and packs all the punches #everyone's in character #i'd tag more characters but that'll probably be spoilery so #TREAT YO SELF #fic recs

 

I uh. Wow. I sound so enthusiastic  . Point remains! I highly recommend it!

 

I haven't caught up with the thread in part because I've been working on reading this all night since I went silent.

 

I'm 2/3rds of the way through chapter 5. Is good.

 

Also I'm impressed by their chapter length. I did long chapters, once upon a time, in fandoms pre-Dragon Age. Man was it exhausting to write like that.

 

So, additional props there. Takes a whole other kind of focus to write like that that I haven't had in half a decade, now.

[Colonelkillabee]

Lol that does not sound optimistic 

 

It isn't, but optimism refers to life in general, not your outlook on people specifically

[FernRain]

Can I just say, I've felt pretty resilient since Trespasser but I just watched the 'wonderful world' Inquisition trailer and damn.. I was almost back in Crestwood.

 

It's really never going to end is it? Maker..

 

Hold me!

 

[Brass_Buckles]

Just wait until next gen graphics make everything that much better... And that much worse!

[Cutekhaos]

I am such a lurker and usually just come for the art, this egg is so unconventionally pretty.

 

But I had to share this with like-minded awesome people, this work is guaranteed to make you smirk or snort at least once. In my case I literally couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.

This is my everyone night. (I work night shift so wake up at night)

To spread angst and feels and to complicate matters tremendously.

 

...and for Lavellan to (potentially) love you enough to smack some sense into you, silly egg!

Sorry for the blatant OT post, I don't feel confident in posting this outside of the blanket fort.

 

Anyway, the Librarian in Skyhold is missing! D: I've done so many plathroughs with him in it (7 now, with at least 5 reaching Skyhold), but for my latest 2 PTs (Disaster Mage and new Canon Rogue) he's just completely absent. Not in his usual spot at all. Did they remove him?

 

Okay so he's not very useful and the fetch quest was more annoying than anything else but I liked having him around!

[Illyria]

above here, in exhibits A and B, is an exquisite specimen of Maximus Trollius, lurking outside of its natural habitat. Note its usage of casual misogyny on a video game forum by inferring women are 'crazy' or 'pyscho' or 'in need of therapy' for having feelings.

 

addendum: to make it clear, you can have a positive or negative opinion of Solas on this thread, and be as critical as you like, but don't insult people for the sake of it in such a derogatory manner. It's petty, it's rude, it accomplishes nothing but wasted energy.

 

Because of your icon I heard all of that in Chole's voice.

 

You made my day.

Do you have Enhanced Studies perk? I think you need that perk to get Librarian to appear in Skyhold.

I took a quick peek and saw this in the notes:
 
'Time Travel Therapy With Lavellan and Solas'.
Thanks a lot, Trespasser.
 
  Might have to bookmark that one for later.
 
So I'm slightly jealous of the folks who picked a canon romance that happens to get a wedding and such in Trespasser. They don't have to wait 3-5 years for what is in all likelyhood, even more angst.
 
Also, if something crazy happens and they pull a Mass Effect 2 on us where we keep the same protagonist but due to 'circumstances' we get all new companions, would you guys be able to make it through an entire Dragon Age game without romancing anyone in the (extremely slim) hope that the conclusion of Solavellan is worth it?

Oh yeah. I always skipped the romances in ME1 since I usually romance Garrus... My other favorite romances are Miranda (for male shep) and Liara.. Miranda isn't a companion in ME3, and Liara you don't get much of in ME2 outside of the DLC. Worth it though.

It's going to be hard waiting 3-5 years. I'm sure I won't care anymore by then, but nothing a fresh playthrough right before DA4 comes out won't solve.

[Wulfram]

I've just been visiting the Lost Temple of Dirthamen, and I have a couple of Solas related thoughts.

1. There are a bunch of Fen'Harel statues.
2. The High Priest appears to have been a demon. Or perhaps he was just possessed, but given our own dear Pride... ?

And a less Solas related thought: How did the Dalish miss this temple?
