It.. is done. After 33 hours in the last three days, I present Abelas in all his Elvhen'hanin.
 

 

Am I still alive? Maker, it was a test of patience. I even brought out the mulled wine AND mead towards the end.

 

It feels weird that I'm finally getting to post this, now I can shutup about it .

This is amazing OMG!!!!

 

But, really, where is his cig? jk, this is freaking fabulous!

This is what I should have posted here first:

 

THANKS OP FOR THE AWESOME OP!  I do appreciate the effort it takes to keep the OP updated and they are very helpful indeed.

 

Cheers!

Oh thanks very much for this fangs4fun! I'm glad you like the OP. Updating it after Trespasser (completely overhauling it actually) was a massive undertaking and took me the better part of a day. 5000 words.. something like dozens to a hundred or more odd links.. coding/technical problems.. I nearly died that day   

 

Welcome to the thread.

Nov. 11th is Veteran's Day in the U.S. and a lot of people wear/display poppies as a way of honoring our veterans.  Although technically you're supposed to wear them on Memorial Day which is in May.

 

I wasn't aware that was a thing.  It's Armistice Day over here (the UK and Europe and other parts as well).  It's to celebrate the end of WWI and to remember the fallen.  It's a day to hope for peace and an end to conflicts.  The poppies also honour our veterans.

[lynroy]

Okay, can we just take a minute to talk about this. Or don't talk. Everyone just stare at that perfect smirk.

We celebrate Veteran's Day today because of the end of WWI also  It was originally called Armistice Day here too and was mostly a celebration to honor WWI Vets, but as time passed it was changed to Veteran's Day to celebrate all our Vets.

Happy Veteran's/Armistice Day everyone.

Aww thank you! It's nice to hear I'm improving. I should really go back to something simpler again now, this one and Vivienne took it out of me .

Same here as well.  We remember so it wont happen again.  At least, that's the goal.

Hi.  New Solas fan here.  Congratulations to Bioware for creating such an intriguing (and hot!) character. 
 
[snip]

I look forward to more in-depth (and shallow) discussion of Solas with you lovely lovely fans.  I shouldn't really be doing this at my age (38).  Ugh.

 
Hello! Welcome to the fold! Have a party wizard:
 
On age, I think most people in this thread are adults, and I'd probably put the median age as late twenties/early thirties. I can assure you that pretty much nobody this thread thinks games are *just* for kids
 

*Inhuman screeching* You plllaaaaaayyyed it! Ahhhhh! None of my friends play video games so I have SO MANY PENT UP FEELINGS over this dumb game.

Spoiler

How'd you like it? What'd you really like about the game - favorite level or character or whatever? Originally I'd have said Papyrus or Undyne, but now I think I have to say it's Sans. My favorite level was probably the True Lab for being so gloriously screwed-up. It had all the best enemies, too.

As for doing a Genocide run - there's actually no mention of Asriel at all. It does explore Flowey a bit more though, as well as Sans and Undyne (They both really shine in a genocide run) and provides a dramatically different experience from a usual run. I'm not sure I'd recommend doing it - beyond the obvious issue of having to kill your friends, there's also the fact that the hardest boss fights can only be found on a genocide run, and they stop a lot of people in their tracks. So unless you're really good with the gameplay, doing a genocide run might be difficult. But I'd definitely recommend watching one. It reveals a lot of interesting information you wouldn't have otherwise.

*More inhuman screeching* You also played it! Aaaahhh!

Spoiler

Did you manage a complete pacificist on your first run? I hear so many horror stories of people figuring they have to kill Toriel and locking themselves out a pacifist run because of it.

Spoiler

oh god I loved so much of it. I loved the characters first of all - I think the moment I decided I was absolutely in love with the game was when I realised I could ask a skeleton on a date. The thing really kicks off during Snowdin - Sans & Papyrus are a combination for life, but it just gets better and better. I absolutely love have a small crush on Undyne, she is incredible. I like how so many of the levels are set up as horror/suspense - the approach to Snowdin Forest, the shadowy spear-throwing sections in Waterfall - and then the characters behind them turn out to be such goofballs. Also Alphys is adorable . I think Papyrus, Undyne, and Alphys are my favourites - especially Papyrus & Undyne's phone calls, those are absolute gems, I love how they're just great friends more than anything.
 
But I also really came to love the gameplay too. I like how each level is quite unique and you never feel that you're treading over the same old ground, or that you're never grinding. The puzzles are all different - and as someone who is bad at puzzles I appreciated how simple they were. I also think the level design is so pretty and I like how the colour palette for each is so strikingly different. It's a really fun game to play and it never feels like it's dragging. Also the True Labs really did spook me out, it was past midnight when I was finishing that up so eeeek.
 
Also, it sucked me in with feels. I never expected to care much, Undertale seemed like a cute, quirky game with a few really cool characters, but on the pacifist ending I was like NO FLOWEY YOU CAN'T DO THIS I LOVE THESE PEOPLE. I cried during the Asriel fight. By that point I had thoroughly spoiled myself because I didn't expect to be so invested... still cried, though.
 
In terms of playthroughs, I did a neutral playthrough where I killed a bunch of monsters during the ruins, spared Toriel (I refused to kill her, cheated and googled how), and then got chided by Flowey for killing a bunch of monsters with families. I felt so guilty that I played the rest of the game as a pacifist, at a grand total of level 3. Made the Hotlabs really quite difficult, although it meant replaying the pacifist run was a walk in the park.

I think I might do what you recommend with the no mercy/genocide run. I expect it to have more horror elements than usual, and I can't stomach horror games. I find films/books totally fine, but there's something about the interactive element, and usually the fact that I play alone, that really spooks me. Also, it'll screw up a pacifist ending, so it's probably one of the few games I genuinely don't ever want to 100%.

 

I'm still resentful of all those nasty things he said and let happen in the previous games. You can't fool me, Mr slick hair, you flip flop around like a pool noodle!

 
Exactly how I feel. Cullen was complicit in a lot of what Meredith did and oversaw a tonne of abuses in Kirkwall. He was responsible for that and despite his change of heart, still hasn't directly addressed it or apologised for it.  
 

I see Cullen as being harder on himself than anyone else. He doesn't feel worthy, and I think this shows in both friendship and romantic conversations. I see a man that is working harder than anyone else to make up for the mistakes he made in the past. Look at how he handles Roderick. He's not only lost faith in the Templars because of Meredith, but the Chantry for their own mistreatment of mages and templars. He sees the Inquisition as a way to fix all of it, and hopefully fix himself along the way. There are a number of comments that he makes about being ashamed of the mane he has become. (He still sees himself as this man.) As for the blame in Kirkwall, DA is all about second chances. He did the right thing in the end. He opposed his commander and prevented her from harming more innocents due to her madness. He doesn't know Red Lyrium is behind any of it until the end, I don't see him as blinded by duty in the last year, but I admit I've only completed one play through. I really hate fighting the Arishok and I've only gotten past this point once.
 
Even Cassandra is willing to put aside any consequences for Hawke's role in the events in Kirkwall, even if they spent their time helping mages free themselves from the Chantry, and it was his actions against Meredith and attempting to restore order that drew her attention. She's willing to give him a chance to do something good rather than condemn him for his mistakes.

I wish most people were as merciful as Cassandra was to Cullen.

I'm still annoyed that what happened in Kirkwall wasn't directly addressed, and that Cullen never appeared to apologise for it. I would like to see Cullen redeem himself, but that can't be done without recognising fully the harm he's caused. I'm also still annoyed that Cullen doesn't extend the same kind of sympathy or forgiveness to Samson, who is struggling through similar problems with lyrium addiction.

I get around it by separating DA2 Cullen and DA:I Cullen in my head. I'm not going to blame the character for what I think are the writer's mistakes - I think they wanted him to remain important to the plot and so threw him into a role in DA2 which I felt never acknowledged the stresses he went under in DA:O (he was tortured; you do not take someone like that and throw them in a position of command without time to recover).

Somehow, I am out of likes, but wow, great job. I'm looking at the way you did the color + light on the armor and no wonder you talked about the armor so much but the work shows.

Vhenans, your words.. so kind.. And yeah the armor took 2 days, the face took 1! I wanted to capture that beautiful Elvhen nose. And no lipgloss..

 

Fade time for me! Enjoy the judgement smirk of Abelas .

Why does top Solas look.. weird?

A bit like he's plastic.

Is this a mod?

I think it may mostly be some filters, perhaps Photoshop filters, someone has slapped on top of screenshots. Hence the color seem washed and the contrasts are all different.
