I don't drink coffee, couldn't get past the taste.  I don't get how it can smell so good but taste horrible.  =p

 

I'm not a fan of tea either.  I do drink caffeinated beverages (yes, soda and no it's not called pop).  I am very addicted to caffeine and when I suffer withdrawals it's usually in the form of a major migraine. But then I figure if my only addictions are caffeine and computer games then I'm not doing too badly, right?

 

Btw, Cee ... I caught what you said earlier.  I guess that means I actually DO have an allergy .. to exercise!

 

I wasn't joking about the allergy to exercise. If I'm not on antihistamines when I work out it triggers.  

 

I got headaches from caffeine withdrawl too but i expected those. I did not expect feeling super exhausted and sniffly like I had a cold.

 

Solas may have the right idea.

[Ellawynn]

It's also not just laziness, though that may be a part of it.  It's also budget.  Like you said, they can't make unique assets for spot they want to put something.

There's that too. Although something that always irritates me a bit is that people toss out comments like "the devs are just lazy!" and expect that to be the be-all end-all of the conversation. 

 

But I mean, dude, if I were putting in weekends trying to weave some epic, world-shattering plot together, I'd probably get a little lazy when it comes to making tapestries for some Maker-forsaken pit most players won't even pay any mind to. If skimping on some areas gives them more energy to devote to others, then skimp away.

Just as long as they don't make one cave design and use boxes/doorways/rocks to make it look a little different or make us enter from a different location so it seems like we're in a different place.  Yes, I'm looking at you DA2!

Spoilery DLC question incoming.

Spoiler

Someone got a good translation for the "Var lath vir suledin" line? I can of course guess what it means, but I've seen at least 5 differen translations now. Any opinions?

"Will our love endure" Supposedly as a question.

Wow.  And here I'm just lazy.

It's not spoken as a question though and I believe the text has an exclamation point (or period, can't remember which).  I think Lavellan is making a statement to Solas because he's all doom/gloom and she's like it doesn't have to be that way.

I loved DA2, but it was a mess of a game.  It still managed to give me feels, though; I can only imagine what it would have looked like if it hadn't been so rushed.

About reused maps in DA2... I just headcanon that, Varric wanted his conversation with the Seeker to be as short as possible.

So here I am vegging out a bit, ripping some old cd's and whatnot and I come across this old gem from ages past. I remember being crazy about this song in particular back in the day, and now I've sat here and listened to it like ten times and my brain keeps pointing out all the parts that can be applied to Solas. Even the video can be viewed as Solas being torn between two worlds. His, and hers. And imagine if we come across him having fallen into Uthenara again?

I dunno if its been posted already during one of our soundtrack rounds. If it has, props to whoever posted it. If not, I wonder what ya'll think of this:



Also Siobhan's appearance? Evil sparkly Evanuris much (probably Andruil). Noooo Solas! Stay with your Lavellan!

Regarding moving on again: There's just no moving on from Solas for my Lavellan. It'll be tough and hurt a lot but her heart will endure. That said, Fenris is in her post Trespasser fanfic and I'm having fun with the idea of them being housemates/friends that become something a little more. I put him there as a bronzed temptation for both me and her. So far, he's doing a very, very good job of it! I figure if worse comes to worst with Solas in the future, it will be comforting to have someone help Tiger pick up the pieces. I wish it were easier to get a read on him though, to know how he'd think in the situation I put him in. This is why I write from a third person, limited perspective. I hate to presume things about characters that aren't mine.

But I'm worried I'll have to, at least to get his reaction to things. How do you all who write with third person omniscient approach it?

Omg!!! Now I feel like I need to use this as Solavellan video song... .*_*

Yeah, for all it's faults I enjoyed DA2 as well.  The cave thing still kills me though.  =p

Thanks, I thought so.  So she's probably saying, "Our love will endure this you stupid bald egg come back here so I can smack some sense into you."  Or, you know something like that.

So many misunderstandings could have been prevented with liberal use of Aveline's "DON'T!" sign

 

Also, on Lavellan's inconsistent knowledge of the elvhen language: I've finally come to the conclusion that she does know the spoken language, albeit not as well as Solas.  There is very little written elvhen left, so she doesn't read it much and relies on him or the Well for translation.  And the reason she doesn't respond to the Nightmare demon isn't lack of comprehension.  It's that the Nightmare demon speaks to each character inside his/her own head; only the character being spoken to actually responds to Nightmare.

Have you tought about using Killing Loneliness by HIM? Or have you already used it? Somehow it gives me Solas feels. I hope this video is not region locked, but video and lyrics are inside spoilers.

 

Spoiler

 

"Killing Loneliness"

 

Memories, sharp as daggers
Pierce into the flesh of today
Suicide of love took away all that matters
And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart

 

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness

 

Nailed to the cross, together
As solitude begs us to stay
Disappear in the lie forever
And denounce the power of death over our souls and secret words are said to start a war

 

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness

 

Killing loneliness

 

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)

'And the champion entered a dark cave.  It was dark and cave like if you want me to describe all of them in as great as detail as the first one then you're going to have to start paying me, Seeker'

Fans just dug up some audio of Lavellan translating stuff in the Temple of Mythal.  Be nice if that was patched back in (*glances over at the PS4's suspiously large new patch*)

I woke up, remembered last night, and I just wanted to say that this thread is unique and incredible. You people are the best.

Hurrà to Solas and his topic, of whom name in spanish translation means to be alone (the irony)

[Cee]

Wow.  And here I'm just lazy.  

 

I am both not really thrilled by working out and also someone who has an anaphylactic response to it. Lucky me.

 

Illyria mentioned green tea so I made a tea blend I love. Green + white teas blended with cherry and coconut.

I think it was Our love could/can still endure.

And he says '' I wish it could vhenan ''

I saw that translation and thought it would probably be pretty close.

No! never heard this one before I will first do one request and maybe do these ones as well :3 have to listen and see cause there are so many requests I have that I can barely keep up! haha!

I think this works. Though if your Lavellan is a First, I'd think she'd know more than the others due to the study and traditions and all that, and it would likely have some degree of variation per clan. Still, I would think they know some basic language, considering the dedication to preservation and cultural pride.

That's true.  I had to come up with some way to reconcile how she seems to speak the language just fine in Trespasser, yet needs Solas to decrypt the messages in the Solasan temple and doesn't say anything about Nightmare's comments.  Probably another artifact of the base game being designed with a human protagonist in mind.  Thank goodness for that extra year of development!

They don't really have access to the spoken language, except what they themselves use and perhaps a few brave souls asked spirits about (and the Dalish in general aren't fond of the Fade, so...), therefore naturally I see the language degrade, perhaps even change over thousands of years. It would be natural then that even Keepers and Firsts would have significant holes in their knowledge, or the knowledge of language varied between clans - and as we know, Dalish clans are scattered all over the world, and they can differ significantly between one another, so likely there has never has been an attempt to collaborate on creating some form of lexicon or something like it.

I know some people also headcanon Solas maybe giving her a few lessons.

Yes, this is mostly what I meant. Basic but also broken. But having a few phrases here and there that they do know what they mean, that's not unlikely.

Lessons in a foreign tongue...

The Wolf Egghead has his own proper theme now!

 

 

Post meeting with Solas soundtrack. This was hinted in the trailer so it is not that spoilery.

 

 

I have to say that Trevor Morris outdid himself here.
