I secretly hope he feels the same for Lavellan but just fears her love will make her join him instead of save him.

Pheh, no way for my Lavellan and if BioWare tries making her do it I will stonefist them! My Lavellan loves Solas, I love Solas, but there are some lines that shall not be crossed and helping him destroy the world, or even letting him, is just a big NOPE for me. If it comes down to it Lavellan would kill Solas, she'd probably be killing a big part of herself too, but as Solas clearly shows her, there is more to life than just him.

 

Yeah it was really weird at first when I switched to Alix's voice for my Adaar.  I don't know if it's because of how I made her face but eventually it started to fit.  I blame purple Hawke for this, but I have a tendency to pick sassy and sarcastic dialogue options whenever appropriate, and Alix delivers those lines so well.

 

I agree with you on Solas. I felt much more hopeful for redeeming him with my friendship Adaar than I did a Lavellan he loves.  I don't know if I could ever do an Assquisitor, even just for science, to do that hilarious 15 second conversation.  Ah well I've seen it on youtube, so close enough! lol

Haha, yeah. Purple dialogues were the best and humorous Hawke has no equal!

Lol. I watched them on YouTube and they made me cringe and laugh.

Well...sh*t.  I forgot about that.  Hey, Solas, you know your "Worst Life Choices" crown?  The Wardens are challenging you for it.

 

Maybe that's why he doesn't like them, "Ultimately none but I can screw up Thedas in style."

[Mlady]

I have...thoughts about my Warden and Eamon.  Unfortunately, most of those thoughts involve cursing, violence, and possibly defenestration.  It's a good thing Eamon wasn't Arl of Redcliffe in DA:I.  I might have let Alexius keep the castle just to spite him.

 

I get this slightly sick satisfaction when I talk Alistair and Anora into marrying (and they are fine with it, so I'm cool with that) and spare Loghain (Alistair still hasn't forgiven me, but he calls me his friend again). Eamon is just swallowing that bile rising in his throat. Teagan is no better now sadly... I wanted an option to throw the Inquisition book at his head when I disbanded.

In that case, he doesn't know my Lavellan very well    She might have a kinder, gentler disposition than Solas, but she is just as dedicated to defending her people, and just as dangerous.

Ooooh, that's good!  I approve.  I just put Anora on the throne since softie romanced Alistair seems to show no interest in it.  But Eamon didn't like that much either.  Though I lost it when Anora was like, "I thought you had designs on my throne through Alistair."  There wasn't the option to bust up laughing at her in-game, but I wish there had been

This is why I choose the angry option when he says "What's that old Dalish Curse? May the Dread Wolf Take You?" because he is judging me on what he thinks I feel and not what I actually feel. He obviously doesn't know everything like he thinks he does!

 

Haha! Yep! He wants no blood of Loghain's near the throne and wants to be Alistair's puppet-master.

Yeah, he does a lot of this, and not just to Lavellan.  You can see it in his dialogue with Varric about the man on the island, his hypocritical outburst at Blackwall, his revolution advice for Sera, on and on.  He's no good at walking any distance in someone else's shoes (probably because he hates shoes )  However sympathetic he may be, he always approaches others from his perspective, and never tries to see it from theirs.

[Arshes Nei]

This was mentioned a few pages back (actually a lot....) but there is so much to catch up on! I have some ideas for those writers who have writers block and needed ideas (use to write myself but have no drive anymore so take snippets that you like or run with it all ).

-After Trespasser DLC: Lavellan is actually one of the Forgotten Ones/Nameless. Before being sealed was able to send their spirt/soul away. Took thousands of years before you are reborn, no memories of what you are. As you go through the deep roads or some other area you uncover more of your past maybe through dreams (or some other aspect) that come to you as you get closer to your sealed body. Could also get your powers (and/or memories) back when the Veil comes down.

-Could do the same as above but Lavellan was one of the Elven Gods Solas imprisoned instead. Uh oh, DRAMA!

 

-These give Lavellan a chance to be in the same ballpark (powerwise) as Solas so eh.

 

Anywho just a thought and I haven't seen a lot of fan fic so I am unsure if these have been done. Enjoy

I have no forum etiquette, so I'm really, really sorry if this is rude or out of line. I just wanted to poke in and say hello-- and that I have loved reading your posts. I am stuck in this massive DA:I / Solas thing. 

 

All of DA is incredible, but the writing of Solas is impeccable. I am an avid gamer and advocate of video games being accepted and treated as a respected art form. Because of this, I have spent a lot of time looking at games from a more academic standpoint vs gamer standpoint. Solas is the best written character I have encountered hands down. In fact, I think his character illustrates the concept of grey-area better than any other personification of such. I am a writer (published non-fiction) that struggles with massive, debilitating depression and have been left feeling "tranquil" for a few years. Solas' arc was so inspiring to me that I've grabbed hold of the obsession wave and am going to ride it as long as it's pushing me to be productive. I have done a bunch of fan art, wrote fan-fiction for the first time ever, and am finishing up a Lavellan costume for a pro photoshoot this Saturday. 

 

Sorry to interrupt and go off topic, but I am so excited to see people who feel the same way I do! Sometimes you just need someone to nerd out with.

That's why redeeming him will be quite the mission we send ourselves on either as the Inquisitor or the new DA4 hero. This guy will send us to an early grave with his stubbornness... in more ways than one!

Welcome to the blanket fort!  And discussing Solas is never rude or out of line, so come hang out with us!

 

 

And I'm really glad that Solas's arc was so inspiring to you.  I know that feeling (I had a major depressive episode five years ago), so anything that helps you feel better is great

[Janic99]

Guys here is one part of Trespasser romance scene without music.. '' May the dread wolf take you '' after that you can hear this swallow.. when I played trespasser I had forgotten to put the music the first time I played cause I record and when I heard this swallowing sound I started to cry.. like seriously it felt like he was so super sad T_T

Yes, this, exactly. My Lavellan tried everything to get him to budge in Trespasser, but he was too stubborn. So now she's just going to have to out stubborn him and get him on the right path, or kill him or them both trying. I expect there will be explosions.

First, he has to want to change.  And he's getting there as of Trespasser, but IMO not quite there yet.  I think he concedes the possibility of a different path, but then dismisses it because he's too set on his current course.

 

The irony of post-Trespasser is delicious.  For all of my Lavellan's protests about being a normal person, and her fear of the Well of Sorrows...she really is a mortal version of Mythal.  Everyone she protects, everyone she has ever defended...those are her people.  And she will be damned if she lets Solas tear down the Veil on top of them.

your right there solas wants to change and in trespasser you can see that, he just has those few chains still holding him on that path. plus his pride and guilt for all he has done to his people makes it even harder for him to change his course.

One reason why he needs Cole, IMO. I don’t know, I am like that for people so I understand the stubbornness some can have. And that aspect of Solas is very frustrating. But there's hope.

[S.W.]

My problem is my HOF was a saint because I played her as one. And sorry to Alistair, but Loghain lived. His views of Duncan were overly biased. I know it's because of his life and how Duncan treated him, but unless it involved Duncan or his own family, Alistair never yelled at me for any other questionable thing I did. Wardens are not good, but I had hoped my HOF was going to change that.

 

It's already been said, but unfortunately the HoF is only one person in an organisation, and whilst their voice has power, they're relatively new and isolated, without allies. Changing something collective, more often that not, also involves a collective effort. I have a similar dilemma to you though - a couple of my Wardens took issue with some long-standing traditions of the Order, and I'd expect them to use their newfound political power as an Arlessa to instigate those changes. I tend to get around that by pretending that the quest to look for the cure for the calling was actually an exile in all but name, and a project which was hoped to lead nowhere, in order to place them out of the political arena.

 

I have...thoughts about my Warden and Eamon.  Unfortunately, most of those thoughts involve cursing, violence, and possibly defenestration.  It's a good thing Eamon wasn't Arl of Redcliffe in DA:I.  I might have let Alexius keep the castle just to spite him.

 

I'm of a very similar mind. Eamon is a very savvy political schemer in my book, who abandoned his nephew because it was politically convenient, and then welcomed his nephew back because... it was politically convenient, hm. I always thought he'd use his influence over King Alistair for his own gains. It's actually one of the reasons why I'm fond of the hardened!King Alistair & Queen Anora outcome. Anora won't let Eamon walk all over him, but neither would Alistair let Anora have her way. The main difference in the Landsmeet outcome actually depends on whether my warden is an elf or not, as I don't tend to spare Loghain on elven playthroughs after discovering he was working with Tevinter slavers.

Hello! Don't worry, you're never interrupting, this is a conversation with lots of people after all . I'm really glad Solas has been important to you in that way.

 

Out of interest, what kind of non-fiction have you published? I'm speaking as someone who did her bachelor's in English and spent a lot of that justifying why what constitutes 'high' and 'low' culture, or 'trashy' and 'quality' art (and this includes video games, which have narratives and often function like films/books) is down primarily to politics and economics, and not aesthetic quality. What's more important to me is how you read, rather than what you read. Just wondering if it's anything to do with that sort of topic, or whether it's got nothing to do with it!

Love this. 

 

In my game, Lavellan ended up without a clan (they were killed by a Cullen operation) and she has disbanded the Inquisition-- so my head canon takes it that she has taken off on and started her own "clan"-- a clan of Fen'Harel-- and gives herself a new vallaslin (both to spite him and to play on the 'rebellious' element) with the mission to save her people.

 

My avatar picture is a recent piece I did that illustrates this, right after Trespasser.

Edit* Shallow Waters - Wow, I wish I could go have coffee with you and listen to all the things you had to say : O. I have written about mental illness with a primary focus on trauma. Trauma is fascinating. We now know that it literally changes the brain structure (and also that broken synopsis' can be reconnected!) So... to stay on topic... if any of your Lavellan's go bat-shite insane, there. Justified.

The male armor is so pretty.

 

Edit: those heels + cloth length are wonderful for running..

And look! Even her gloves are half complete, instead of an entire glove she has little caps for her fingers

I was just thinking about that earlier.. Didn't one of the devs say the fact the Elvhen were bald was something they could choose as a "no hair at this time please". Which makes me wonder if he will revert back to having hair, if he had it to begin with.

Well, new chapter of Aftermath is finally up. 

 

The good news, there is some best elf in there!

 

The bad news, urgh... please no one kill me once they've read it, ok?

I meant to comment earlier but got side tracked. Best Elf! So sad, but still...I wonder if there is information in the Book of Seekers on reversing something like this.I realize he was severed in the Fade but we know so little about it and spirits seem to be able to restore nearly everything. It could happen the same way. Like Carl meeting with Anders and Justice.

 

I don't have an AO3 account but would like to join. My FF.net story will drift toward smut I can't seem to help it, but the 'clean' version has to be left clean because my kids want to read it. My son is hounding me for the next chapter. He's 23 and has called like 3 times today.
