If we can side with the villain and rule over the Fade with Solas as demigods, that might be the most awesome DA ending ever.

 

It kinda feels like that would be a non-transferable save file, but, gosh, that would be so cool.

@coldwetn0se: I just love that you didn't know you were in a romance with Alistair.     I will be giggling all night.  Thank you.

 

I'll probably be spoiling myself for all the romances in DAI.

 

I was introduced to DAO by a friend and she spoiled all kinds of things because I love spoilers.  My first Warden didn't romance anyone because she was a Team Mom type and they all seemed very young to her.

 

I knew vaguely who the romances would be in DAII and sort of half-planned on romancing Merrill and then I met her and she was pretty much everything I could have asked for.  So that went well.

 

Solas sounds promising but my 'canon' will probably end up being the Circle mage and therefore another no romance playthrough.  Cole seems like he'll be her most important relationship, so maybe she can be a hot single mom.

My head canon is that my Alim Surana became a Spirit of Peace in the Fade. If you and Solas can rule over the Fade as demigods.... I will be okay with this.

I don't know if he will be one, but his ambiguous past leaves us to create many theories. Personally, I want him to be morally ambiguous and can be good or bad in the end.

 

Btw...I just found out Patrick Weekes wrote Garrus...and now he is writing Solas. Considering I actually really liked the Garrus romance, I think my interest in the Solas romance just skyrocketed.

[Phate Phoenix]

Same here because medical reasons I can't have any either....GOD Bless you. *hugs*

 

 

So I'm trying to catch up cause I haven't been on all day and I still shake my head at the people that are saying "Because he wants elven babiez."  Please stop. He's straight because he's straight and he's into elven women for a certain reason don't know what that is yet( Maybe he's had bad experiences with other races other than his own) but that's how PW wrote him. I'm so gosh darn happy that he is romanceable...but it seems I can't celebrate cause there are people bashing him and making up crazy theories on him in here and elsewhere! 

 

 

 

You know what screw it here's my celebration gifs enjoy  :

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

 

And why is everyone thinking he is going to be a villain? I don't remember any of our companions in the past being one so why would he be one? 

 

Oh, no, we're just musing. I'm pining.  I think it was confirmed somewhere that there isn't a villain LI, anyway. The Raptr Q&A. Let me go check.

[mindoirs]

Problem with Anders was that you didn't even have the option to follow him on his path.

 

If you've played Neverwinter 2 (yep, Obsidian not Bioware), Bishop betrayed you near the end. But you had the choice to side with the final boss (and thus, stay with Bishop in the end).

 

What I mean is: Would be cool to side with Solas, or have the option to convince us to stay with us.

 

Anders on the other hand, was doomed anyway.

Hmmm....

Honestly, not gonna lie, I would be okay with that...

 

If it's handled and written well, I won't mind as much.

 

 

At the very least, I feel like our bald elf isn't from this world. I dunno why. Maybe it's all of the theories going around getting into my head, or how mysterious he is, but I get the vibe.

 

I've thirsted too long for this elf so I'm going to do my best to not spoil myself on his romance. Not letting all of these months of agony go to waste!

Becoming a demigod and ruling over the fade with Solas, yes please!

Just more wild guessing for fun.

WAIT he did?! In ME3? I know Mac Walters wrote him in ME1/ME2 but handed him off for ME3 to other writers

[Phate Phoenix]

Oh, no, we're just musing. I'm pining.  I think it was confirmed somewhere that there isn't a villain LI, anyway. The Raptr Q&A. Let me go check.

 

Here's the Raptr Q&A transcript for the curious. And here's what's topical:

 

Q: Someone said something about romancing villains. I'm so confused because there's so little on it. Clarifications please?
A: I don't recall this statement. I don't think we have a bad guy LI (MD)

 

Q: Can converse with and relate to the villain, and possibly side with them?  Or is there no civil conversation, a la Meredith?

A: I think the best villains are ones you can relate too on some level. Other than that I don't want to give too much away. (CL)

[mindoirs]

I think PW wrote Garrus in ME2 and someone else did in ME3. I know he wrote all of Tali, though. And ME3 Jack. And Kasumi.

 

 

Also, awesome for that confirmation. Didn't really want a bad guy LI!

[dragondreamer]

Maybe it's an Alistair type situation.  He's the prince of an band of ancient elves out to reconquer Thedas (cue evil laughter), and he can only take an elven lady to be his queen.  His dark, dark queen of the scary elves.  @w@

 

But seriously, I've thought about what might happen if my goodygoody elven Inquisitor was faced with a situation where he had to decide between the elves and Thedas as it is.  Especially if Solas was pushing for some extreme stuff.  I *still* don't know what would happen, and probably won't until something like that happens.  Too many variables.  Sweet little idealistic elf being utterly corrupted is very interesting, and under certain circumstances, maybe it could happen.  I'm more inclined to think that he would turn on Solas if it went too far though...   Oh, so much drama.

 

I like to think that even if Solas turns out to be working for big bad, he can still be turned around.  My canon Hawke refuses to kill Anders specifically because he wants him to help put things right. 

[QueenofFereldan]

Unless I am reading it wrong on the wiki...I am looking at his profile now and it mentioned Weekes "pegged Garrus to be 2-4 years younger than Shepherd". So...maybe I am just reading it wrong?

I love to bits NWN2, but the romances where something I hated, just like the too rigid D&D alignments. Abandoning those for a more personal and less rigid view of life was a thing I loved in DA.

 

Until now, we never had "totally villain" character in DA. I prefer when the "bad acts" are make by persons with a determinate ideology than a villian trat make cruel laught and pet his monster-like kitten.

 

I'd prefer if Solas is not a villain, but a more "grey" character, like Morrigan or Jack. (maybe less violent...those two are my favourite Bioware ladies, and responsable of the creation of a Dwarf male Warden and a Paragade Male Shepard)

I loved the Garrus romance, the writing was fantastic. So this is fantastic news =)
I have played a few morally questionable characters, so having a villainous romance track could be fun. As already mentioned, merely having the option would be brilliant.

[Kirie]

Yeah it says "Mac Walters, one of the lead writers for Mass Effect 2 and 3, acted as a senior writer for the first game and mainly focused on Garrus, as well as Wrex.[5] Walters also wrote him in the second game, but handed him to other writers for 3.[6]" Weekes might have had a hand in helping write him for ME3 though. I'm not really too sure I'd be thrilled though if that was the case! Garrus is by far my fav Bioware romance.

[QueenofFereldan]

Even though I didn't get that far in ME, I watched it on youtube...and it's my favorite. XD I certainly liked the Citadel DLC where he tries to up the security to keep Shepherd safe.  So if Weekes had a hand in it and even helped with the romance, I am now excited for Solas. XD

 

BUT...I am still going with Cullen first.  But I may have to go with Solas second rather than Iron Bull with my Dwarven Commoner Warden storyline. XD

I believe John Dombrow wrote Garrus in ME3.

I had seen that written somewhere as well, some years back. I can buy it though, based on his personality and Shepard's influence on him, in ME1.

[Kirie]

Ahh did he? Good to know then, thanks!

I feel bad because I waited SO long for a Cullen romance.. Was so dang excited when he was announced, and then Solas came along and I'm like "Move to the back of the line, Cullen!" Poor thing lol

[QueenofFereldan]

Yeah, so can I.

 

So...if Solas is an ancient elf...how do you think he survived for so long?

[Phate Phoenix]

Yeah, so can I.

I think she was pretty sure of herself either way but I think she'd have been older as a Circle mage.  She doesn't have any experience with the templars, so there won't be any immediate HATE reactions just oceans full of distrust; my Circle mage wasn't going to trust anyone easily either.  I may play her Circle mage variant just to see how she interacts differently with Cole because Cole is my actual favorite these days and maybe also to be my canon run, since I'm sure I will ruin everything on my first run.  What will probably happen is I will hit a point where race is important and then make a character of every race out of excitement and then have a dozen characters and no finished playthroughs.

 

I wish I was half as good at this planning stuff as you are.  That is so much well thought out planning and she sounds like a pretty awesome character. 

 

Aw, thank you so much!   It's an interesting situation, though... I've never played a DA game knowing... this much? Went into Origins and 2 utterly blind. But now that I've been staring at Inquisition for over a year straight, I know... a lot of details. I wonder what it'll be like to come upon something that's clearly divergent? Hm... Well, more motivation to try ALL THE THINGS! 

 

Now it's pretty clear who the desert sweetie was  /feels smug xD

Case closed.

*still wants to kiss him at a magical desert oasis*

 

GOOD JOB, TEAM. 

 

But ugh, you know... I think it's really starting to sink in, now. I can romance Solas... I CAN ROMANCE SOLAS?

The announcement was so shocking and I was too busy feeling crappy about it... but now that it's been like, a day...

I CAN ROMANCE SOLAS.

I still feel bad, of course, and it sucks that somebody's losing out either way here, and that's not what I wanted at all...

BUT I CAN ACTUALLY ROMANCE SOLAS. OMGOSH.

[squeaks]

 

I don't know how I feel about him as a villain... Initially, my brain is like NOPE. Because tragedy, ugh. I've had so much of that already. AND PATRICK WEEKES HAS ALREADY REDUCED ME TO SOBBING ON THE FLOOR FOR AN HOUR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. I fear what I'm getting myself into! BUT... if there's an option to convert? Oh man...

 

I'll be honest, my priority is never going to be the Inquisition or order or anything like that.I go into this caring about three (four?) things...

 

1a: mages

1b: elves

2: the gray wardens (because you can take the girl out of the Warden-Commander, but you can't take the Warden-Commander out of the girl!)

3: Ferelden (because there will always be that section of my Dragon Age brain that is dedicated solely to being its queen, heh.)

 

Everything else can fend for itself, as far as I'm concerned. 

I also have a bit of a precedent... I mean, I follow Anders of my own volition, and I totally ship Revan with Malak, bahah. So if a "follow me and become my dark queen! FOR THE ELVES!" popped up? ...Goddess, I'd be all over that. I would be SO all over that. Like the entire world's supply of post-it notes.

[Felya87]

Garrus was my favourite romance in the ME series. tried many times to change, but, expecially after seeing what bring ME3 (or lesbian or Kaidan or forever alone) my shepards all end up with him. maybe one day I'll make a Thane romance and than try kaidan, but I'm really not a fan of the guy.

I am ashamed to say that I originally read this as Perfected Urethra.
