I don't think it's really the same thing.  In your example, you know that person has an addiction.  In the example with Solas, it would be not knowing how an non-elf thought of him but making an assumption, potentially a wrong one, and then letting that influence all future interactions.

 

That's what I'm thinking.

 

it can simply be a limit he have. With how the elven are treated by humans in particular, is not all that surprising he can be reluctant to have a relationship with a non elven. (I had quite some problems sometimes roleplayng my CE who romanced Alistair. I had to really think about her character and her developmant) And for now we don't know all that much about him to really have an answer.

 

I guess we'll have to wait and see.  but I'm quite sure it will be something quite important.

It could definitely be the reason.  I just think it's kind of a closed-minded approach, not necessarily a wrong one.

 

But yes, we shall see what it is in November.  I'm pretty curious about it now and what it says about his character or his story.

The only elf I was able to romance Alistair with was a mage who knew the relationship wouldn't last- the Circle did a number on her expectations for any relationship. She arranged his marriage to Anora, they split amicably then she killed the Archdemon and died. A tragic tale for her bardic friend to sing. 

 

I really hope Solas met the Inquisitor in a dream and something there made him fall for her rather than it being about the elf babies. I don't think BW have the awareness necessary to pull that one off and even if they did the medium i.e the dialogue tree will work against them.

Really looking forward to his romance-arc, quite possibly my second PT after human female rogue romancing Cullen.

Judgmental Stripper Solas disapproves of negativity and trolling in his thread. He's watching...ALWAYS WATCHING.


By LazyNinjaArtist

Haha yes ^^^^THIS. I'm happy he's a li and yet sad for all the lovely people on this thread who didn't get what they would have liked. He is very restricted isn't he?

[wildannie]

I really like the idea that was mentioned by Fialka (I think) that suggested the race gating could be due to the life span of elves being longer and Solas having unlocked (or even be a living ancient example of) their longevity.  I much prefer that to the babies one (was it me who suggested babies as an example first?? if it was, apologies, it seemed annoy a lot of folk  ) but if it is about babies, I think it is more likely about not wanting to entertain the idea of potentially bringing a child into the world that will not be accepted rather than a deep desire for children.

 

The LIs are working out pretty well to fit into my planned PCs 

 

1) F-elven (mage or rogue) + Solas (American voice)

2) F-Human rogue + Cullen (English voice)

3) M-elven rogue archer + Josephine (American voice)

4) M-Human warrior + Dorian (British voice)

 

I'll no doubt replay fav LI with different classes/builds (that's probably going to be Solas)

 

I'm really torn about who I want to be the last LI, but I'd probably favor a bi Blackwall.  Although there are many who love Iron Bull, and I'm sure he's going to be a fabulous character,  he's surely a very niche romance choice overall for dwarven and human pcs?  which kind of leaves them with no choices. If BW were taking that into account they may have chosen to balance things with Blackwall.

 

However,  I very much think the final LI will be Vivienne, and I'm fine with that too... November 21st can't get here quick enough.

 

Edit:  Do we know if it was just dwarf pcs that IB was gated against?  If he was Qunari only that would strengthen the case for Blackwall.

*pops head in from Cullen thread*

 

Hey there, Beenicorns..or is it Unibees? Keep your chins up, this is normally a super thread to lurk in, don't lose that

 

Just wanted to pass on some happy cakes to you guys, it's brilliant that Solas is an LI, sorry for those of you that are affected by the strict gating though, I'm sure there will be a very good reason for it

 

Stay awesome guys

[Phate Phoenix]

[WANDERS IN] A good thing about all this is now I don't have to worry about missing something while I sleep!

 

Good morning / day / afternoon / night everyone!

[Vlk3]

As far as  I know, Iron Bull is available for everyone.

 

 

Oh my... I know I should be happy that Solas is confirmed as a LI, but I expected him to be available to everyone. Now my plans for canon play through are ruined. I may end up changing the race after all (I used to think about playing an elf, but I grew so attached to the idea of playing a human mage, that it might feel not right). Or I may decide to stick to my original plan and just resign from romances for this one play through (or go for Cullen, maybe), but I wanted a mage LI

Well, maybe Vivienne's a bisexual LI? She probably wouldn't be gated against humans.

[Vlk3]

And straight;)   At least for the canon, as this is the one I always identify with the most. Experiments later

I must have missed the lifespan theory.  That's kind of neat actually but he'd have to share the secret with femelf or else she'll die long before he does too.  We've also seen blood magic keep humans and elves alive for a long time (the elf certainly looked better), so that may factor into it somewhere too.

 

We don't know how many races Iron Bull was gated against before John Epler's hard work, no.

Ah, right, that would put a damper on things. 

[LadyKarrakaz]

Glad to see the thread coming back to normal! Was almost afraid to post here for a moment! So many newcomers (and trolls, but you dealt with them with class).

 

Now, back to unicorns and civilized discussions about Solas!

Oh, you know, every once in awhile a bog unicorn wanders in, and you have to be polite even if they are stinking up the place. Poor things. 

 

So has anyone had any major ideas about possible Lavellans they want to pair with Solas? I'm really leaning towards a making Braeth a mage. With the new combat set-up, if sort of feels if you a run a two-mage party you'll be better prepared, and I'd like my main posse to be Team Mutually Respectful Moral and Theological Debate, with some swapping probably. As per my usual set up, I'll probably spec Cole as an archer, as that's usually how I role: three ranged, one tank.

[Felya87]

I still have my Darel, the rebellious Dalish pro City Elf.   I think she will not change from what I have programmed for her.

[LadyKarrakaz]

I was already planning on a Mage female Dalish for my fist playhthrough, so the revelation about Solas didn't change my plan.

 

If possible, I'll be an elementalist/or Rift mage. I tend to be diplomatic on my first playthroughs of games, so I'll seek the solutions I believe are best.

 

Yet, my character will have a bias towards the Elven lore and the protection of the Elves, so, if there's a choice to say (beware Masked Empire Spoiler) 

Spoiler

choose Brialo over Celene or Gaspard, she'll certainly do this

 

I want a mage cause I feel like this class will be more attuned to the Fade theme of the game. And I've wanted to play a Dalish Keeper since DAO.

 

I've always found the Dalish Lore to be my favorite ingame, so I really hope we'll get to discover new things along with Solas.

 

And finally, I'll certainly take with me the less judgeamental and good humored companions. My character would punch any companion criticizing the looks of Solas or Cole, so beware team Vivienne/Dorian. (yeah, she's diplomatic, but fierce anyway )

[lyrabelacqua]

Man oh man, I'm still bit sure what to think. Would you guys believe I actually woke up thinking about this?

In a way, I feel churlish complaining that I can't romance Solas with Lady Trevelyan because at least I get to romance him with the gender of my choice unlike the gay players (STILL gutted he's not bisexual, will probably die still gutted). Plus, I bet most of the Varricmancers would jump at the chance of romancing Varric even if he was gated to high heaven...

But the whole elf/elf pairing is something I've never liked personally. Plus, the only way I can imagine playing a Dalish is if I can play her as someone who chafes against their traditionalism and wants to experience the world. That's why I don't think I can get myself a Dalish mage, because of the whole First thing. Whoa, I can't believe how much this announcement has thrown me for a loop, and I hadn't even hardcore planned an inquisitor yet.

The other thing that scares me about this is that it makes it seen likelier that Cullen might be gated as well, and if I can't put my lady saarebas with him I will legit cry

I think there are a lot of lady qunaris out there holding their breaths over Cullen.  I know mine is. But if it does happen that Cullen's gated against qunari, I'll hop her over to the Iron Bull and probably start plotting a Trevelyan.

 

I'm really malleable when it comes to PC's and LI's.

This.
My Dalish Mage will have to be like Belle/Ariel or there is no way I can play her. XD
She'll love Elven lore and everything but she'll want to see the world. I dislike the stereotypical Shem-hating traditionalist Dalish characters so she'll have to be different.
She'll love her clan and her heritage but she'll find her life in the clan to be very restrictive. Even though she loves her clan because they are her family, she'll find their dislike of human society and city elves to be a bit grating when she's over here going "it's more complicated than that" (She fits perfectly for Solas )
I'm actually starting to warm up to the idea even though I was really upset about my Lady Trevelyan Mage not being with Solas. It's still really hard to get over that...I'm trying though. I feel ungrateful because I was so upset by that, but I am trying.

Yeah I know how you feel

I already had my Trevelyan all planned out as well, but I wanna romance Solas first so I gotta come up with plan B

 

Hopefully they'll show us more of the CC soon, I can never think up how I want my elf to look without some reference

[Dr. Doctor]

Solas is female elf only? That's quite a restriction.... CHART TIME!!! 
 
 

That Solas picture always makes me laugh for some reason. It's like he's making funny faces or is confused.

My own Inquisitor is going to be a Dalish mage who doesn't hate his people or culture, but is very curious about the outside world.  Dalish come in all stripes, it doesn't have to be simply "rebel against their society" or "super traditionalist".     I see him as a Creators worshipping, Chantry-distrusting, wants the best for his people (including City Elves), but doesn't actually hate humans or think they should remain so isolated- Dalish.  And as much as I wish he could have romanced Solas, it's going to be very interesting to put him in the situation of romancing a human, and it may end up influencing his actions.

[lyrabelacqua]

Still on my phone so can't quote (or like!) posts, but Phate and Elsie, I feel you guys xD

If I can't romance Cullen with a qunari, I'll probably swap her out for a human mage...unless he's gated against mages :s

As for Solas and my suddenly Dalish inquisitor -- Elsie, that's how I'm thinking as well. Mine is going to be SUCH an Ariel type and is actually more interested in going to the summit to see other cultures in action rather than her spying mission Because she wants to be part of their wooooorld, lmao.

Since they're not making the human inquisitors be pro-Andrastian I'm hoping that means we won't be forced to be hugely pro-Dalish as an elf.

I'm really not into Dalish so my friend helped me come up with a back story that would help me feel better about it   (btw, this was just for fun and I won't be upset if something happens in game that tears this little head canon to shreds)

 

We came up with the idea that my elf Inquisitor grew up feeling out of place because she doesn't like how judgmental/xenophobic her clan is and talked constantly about running away with her friend.  She ends up betrothed to him and asks him to leave with her after they marry, he refuses and she realizes he never took her talk of running away seriously so she happily agrees to spy on the peace summit to get some space to think things over.  Haha, it's deliciously dramatic and explains why she stuck around long enough to get her vallaslin even though she doesn't fully identify with the Dalish.  Maybe exploring ancient elven ruins and talking to Solas about his Fade experiences will give her a better appreciation of elven lore at some point, who knows
