Didn't they say Solas was a hedge mage and hedge mages and circle mages can't learn each other's magics? I think I saw that as a reason that Solas and Viv grate on each other...

That's what they said, yes, but in the demo with Solas he was using primal spells, same as Vivi and Dorian. And if his specialization is Rift Mage (pretty sure they took those out for the demo - I don't think they've shown us any specialization talents at all) then we know he can at least teach it to us. My guess is that while Solas will be considered a hedge mage by our more classically trained companions, he doesn't completely fit.

 

Technically what defines a hedge mage is their complete lack of training. However we know that Solas has spent time with the Dalish (where he might have learned a few things) and that he is self-taught (so he may have learned things from books and such). It's also possible he learned things in his wanderings through the fade and ruins alike (remember how we learn the blood mage and arcane warrior specs in DAO?). Would be pretty neat if those 'crazy spells' he knew were ancient forgotten magics or tricks he learned from fade spirits.

 

Personally, I think it would have been cool if Solas had spells completely unique to him - but I understand from a development perspective why that couldn't happen. You'd have to make a bunch of skill trees just for that one character, while making sure they were balanced in a way that would make that companion just as useful and powerful as the other companions without going overboard,

Ah, OK. I didn't watch the spell icons that closely in the demos, so I just assumed he was using different spells with similar visual effects. Though I wondered at putting that much development work into something for just one NPC too.

I predict Solas is a Rift Mage, Vivianne is a Knight Enchanter and Dorian a Necromancer but imo it's a pity they don't have their own unique trees they added flavour to the DA2 companions. The nicest thing about it though was that those specs weren't mandatory you could give them one of the standard specs instead (or was that a mod I installed?).

I think that's how they'll be assigned too, and since we only get one spec I'm assuming theirs are locked in. It doesn't bother me, though I did like the Origins option of having two specs. That way you could still tinker with the companions' fighting styles a bit.

 

With the "Solas humming Mordin's song" thing, I think it would be kind of awesome if Solas was often found humming to himself in camp or Skyhold. We'd have a ball figuring out what he was humming and whether it had any relevance.

 

*Lady Inquisitor walks by Solas, propped up against the base of a tree*

*Solas opens one eye, smiles to himself, and hums the chorus of "Pour Some Sugar on Me"*

 

I would be very entertained.

So I started a new Dalish game yesterday and named the dog Solas.  

[Roxy]

Speaking of Mordin's singing...I wonder if PW actually put in a easter egg in the game and will have Solas say at one point in the game "Problematic!".

I thought of him singing/humming this.

From Tumblr:

 

"On my previous post about Solas and Cassandra being unfashionable:
I couldn’t help but imagine a silly story like this playing out"

 

 

The Inquisitor introduces newest member to the Inquisition, Solas.

 

 

Well, Cassandra is all like ‘GASP-! APOSTATE!!!’

 

 

So she’s all like ‘I got my eyes on you, apostate’. (Which I took from the fact that there’s a LOT of official screenshots of her and Solas.) And Solas doesn’t put up a fight because he is tired of this crap.

 

 

And after so many adventures with Ser Serious, Solas offers Cassandra a pair of his comfortable (but unfashionable) pants as a gesture of friendship in hopes that maybe, just maybe, she would stop being so uptight.

 

 

And then, through the magic of a comfortable pair of pants, a bond is created between them and Cassandra admits she was wrong about Solas.

THE END

Oh I think that's CARPOOL's drawings.....she hasn't been around lately hope everything is going well for her.  

 

Anyways I think it's funny how Cassandra is all comfortable in Solas's pants.

I bet the Inquisitor will be comfortable in his pants too

[SamanthaJ]

^ Haha, he looks a little agitated in that picture. After all the #Assquisitor tweets that picture makes me think he is holding a potion which he plans to drink whether the Inquisitor likes it or not.

Oh my god I almost choked on my tea. xD

 

But yeeees, very comfortably indeed~

Last night, I had a dream where I was playing DA:I (I get these dreams a lot, actually ) and everytime Solas spoke, I started counting the syllables and accents in his lines to figure out if he's speaking in iambic pentameter or not.

 

The dream might have been slightly inspired by that class last week where I had to analyze English poems.

 

I had a dream about Solas speaking too. In my dream he didn't have a Welsh accent and kept saying the most stupid things. Every time he opened his mouth I would get so angry... And Vivienne had these huge 9 inch nails.

Well Red Jenny's got a band of thieves
Varric's got a thousand tales
But Inquisitor you're in luck 'cause up this sleeve you got a brand of magic never fails!

You've got a hedge mage in your corner now
Some elven mojo in your camp
Some Fade pizazz, yahoo and how
And all I gotta do is take a nap

And I'll say, Madame Inquisitor
What will your pleasure be?
Let me take your question, write it down
You ain't ever met a mage like me

[Tamyn]

Life is your game to haunt

And I'm your console cheat!

Come on and whisper what it is you want

You ain't never met a mage like me.

He doesn't speak in iambic. Patrick said recently, "Nope. It's a specific rhythm, and it's only for specific lines here and there. Definitely not all or even half the time."

But yay, more poetry people! *fistbumps*
