Hello, I'm a lurker. I feel like a little intruder because you all seem to get along so well. So, I figured an awkward introduction was in order before I posted. I've been a bit intimidated by everyone's amazing and enlightening posts and theories. Seriously, not empty praise some posts have been so spot on they seemed like spoilers. I'm finally posting because I realized how much I don't want this game to simply end with my finishing a play-through or two.

 

After Trespasser I consider Solas to be the best written companion of the series to date for me; and yet not because I learned something more about him. No, quite the opposite I've been left with feelings of knowing less of him. I went in an Eluvian and came out with a whole new perspective as well as some confirmations on lore and legends from this series. He's not the trickster god of Dalish childish frights but he admits he is neither the savior painted in desperation in the Crossroads. I think he has reached me more deeply, more directly than any other character. I've always loved Morrigan on a friendship path and thought her to be well-written and poignant in her struggles to grow. He's similar to her in that regard because I didn't have to romance him either in order to appreciate him and truly love that analytical, morally grey and quietly observant (but strongly opinionated) mind of his. (But I did romance him and will continue to do so because optimistic fangirl is optimistic stubborn. My Lavellan will not surrender! She conquers and comforts!) For some he may be perceived to be this emotionally detached man but I think he's allowed his past shame, guilt or commitment to hollow him. I think he knows it's easier to not wander from a set path when you let no one walk it with you because when you have another by your side you look at your surroundings differently. Suddenly there's a diverging path when there was but one before.

 

TL;DR or the 15 second have I ever wanted to hear one of your endless explanations version: I like Solas alot. He's imperfection makes him perfect and reflective. This thread is amazing. I apologize for rambling. If I post again I'll try to stay on topic.

 

Welcome!

 

...Briefly, see my sig for my take on things...

 

Go Team Optimism!!!

Anath ara, lethallan!

[drosophila]

First of all, I'm so sorry, thread dad! I don't have much more to say than what people already said, but what happened is gross and it p*sses me off. Can you PM me, so that I know who it is? Won't tell, and apart from here and AO3 I'm not very active online anyway. 

 

 

I don't do drama, I just unfollow/block/etc if anything. Would rather just not support or promote someone I knew doing that.

 

Agree, drama is the ultimate waste of time, there's little chance you'll achieve anything, convince the other person, get the sincere apology you wish for, etc. when feelings are running high. I just withdraw as gently as possible from the dramamaking person/situation.

Aneth ara! Have some cookies!

 

It's not cheesy at all. It's moving. It's Solas allowing himself a moment of emotional vulnerability and with it, hope. He can't resist, he feels it all so deeply, and even as he's about to leave to go do his thing, he can't resist letting his feelings escape.

Thankyou everyone you are my loves

I normally don't like using mods that change the appearance of a character too much, but I'm going to have to download beardless Blackwall if I ever decide to romance him.

I use that mod for post-Revelations.  He's grown it back by Trespasser, though.

I'm actually watching Allegra Clark stream Trespasser at the moment with her human warrior assquisitor.

[roselavellan]

It's a lovely line but the animations ruin it for me. She's yelling in pain and in the next scene as he calls her "my love" she looks as if she never felt tremendous pain a moment ago and is just kneeling and looking at him blankly lol

 

That would be the magic of GDL's voice

She just confirmed that the Hard in Hightown chapter in the library was essentially "Fade spirit fanfiction"

LOL and it changes based on who you left in the Fade and who your Warden of choice was too.

Yep, the wiki has all of them. It's great. She said that Mary Kirby approved of including spirit fanfic, but Varric had to get mad about it.
