Just popping in briefly to say...

 

I LOVE SOLAS, OMG. He is even better than I thought he would be! *fans self*

 

Ok, bye!

About the wall paintings~

Spoiler

I guess I keep getting distracted by all those wolves. Do you think he was trying to tell us something, lol? Rewatching his scenes on YouTube, his dialogue... it's there. UNF.

So, did we ever figure out why he's Scotch bonnet candies?!

[Nyaore]

Looking at them the paintings are definitely telling the story of the game, though some elements don't make as much sense as I'd like them too. It's gorgeous though.

which points has the dialogue dropping hints?  Or rather what does he say. I dont want to re-watch scenes i might cry xD

 

What exactly are Scotch Bonnet candies?

Scotch Bonnets are hot peppers, so I imagine their candies are like Hot Tamales only actually spicy.

If you know what happens there's actually a lot of hinting, I knew everything before I started playing so I'm having a good time

I think there's some info on it in the OP

If that's the case I guess the answer would be that he's so hot and sweet he'll make you cry?

[Uirebhiril]

My guess would be a scotch bonnet candy is not what you were expecting. I haven't gotten to the end of the game, so I still have to wait to see if my guess is right. Fascinating stuff.

[Zombie_Alexis]

Add me as a new Solas fan! I was waiting to see who would be right for my character and my Elf turned out to be proudly pro-Dalish in her attitude, so Solas was the one and I have to say, I am not disappointed! 

[Kisari]

Spoiler

well they may exist but not in the same way as the dalish think. They may have been something that inspired the legends, extremely powerful mages or something of the sort. Although Corypheous in DAII mentions that when they entered the golden city it was already black, So the chantry legends aren't exactly right either. Perhaps the two are connected in some way and there's something way bigger going on behind the scenes than we know.

 

In any case I really hope Solas doesn't become an antagonist, or if he does our inquisitor is the one that deals with him instead of a new character. At least Lavellan might be able to make him see reason. Then they can kiss and makeoutup, Or share a sexy-time scene. Wouldn't that be a way to end a game? Save the world by getting in to Solas' pants. rofl.

Spoiler

Yeah that's what I was meaning. We really don't know much about the ancient elves other than Tevinter didn't really destroy them, they destroyed themselves with in-fighting and war long before Tevinter showed up apparently. And that Mythal was betrayed and murdered, not sealed away or whatever. It's also been mentioned that Arlathan was very magically advanced so it would make sense they could be very powerful mages(which is also a possibility of Andraste).

I would pay anything to continue with my Quizzy and get back with him. Or at least get closure. I'm expecting a tragedy though. Ofcourse, i'd much prefer a win through make-outs and butt touches.

Spoiler

There's his very real anger at the misinterpretations the Dalish perpetuate re: their past. It seems very personal to him, and as Fen'harel is kinda the villain of Dalish lore, that makes sense.

 

Then there's the time he almost slips while trying to convey why the Inquisitor is special. At that point, it's more of an "I am way older than I seem" thing and not necessarily an "I am an Elven god" thing.

 

He also asks Varric about tricksters in Dwarven literature, which is super trolly in retrospect. Oh, and speaking of Varric, the fact that he calls Solas "Chuckles" is foreshadowing, considering Fen'harel's mythical nature and the fact that he allegedly celebrated his coup over the other gods by sitting alone in the Fade and laughing.

Well tragedy is likely, (this is a bioware game after all) it's way more fun if he's playing really really hard to get. I think having to option to tame the wolf would be a satisfying ending if for no other reason than to let our Inquisitor be as selfish with him as he was with us.

 

Or we could let Iron bull punch him and call it a day. that would be almost as satisfying.

-sighs- if only he had slipped up, I just hate characters having secrets, every time they do something like this happens.

 

I could imagine Solas chuckling in that sort of scenario if it played out right

Yep, Scotch bonnet candies are weird candied pepper things. XD

Spoiler

The best were already mentioned, but it's just sort of... looking back on what he said in a different light. Not necessarily foreshadowing, but when he says he didn't think that anyone could ever draw his attention from the Fade, how he's more comfortable there, emphasizing your mortality ("how could you? A mortal, sent physically through the Fade..."), when he asks Lavellan what she was like before the Breach and if she's changed (the way he hesitates and gets shifty eyes when he says: "your mind, your morals, your...spirit"). How furious he is if she drinks from the well and binds herself to Mythal, and again when she calls him out on not believing and he hesitates again ("I don't believe they were gods, no... b-but... I believe that they existed! ... If not gods, then mages. Or spirits.")

Again, nothing too obvious. Just curious.

That's how I feel too. I wish *I* could punch him for that. Maybe that's my bratty personality though. I've always been very aggressive in my relationships. So it's always been hard to deal with my limited options I get to pick from in games haha.


let us tame the wolf pls bioware make it so

[Nika]

Since we were talking about this earlier and I had a good laugh I just had to share this
So after hours of nothing between me and my companions I finally get a scene with Vivienne
And of course she asks me to gather ingredients for some weird formular, not sure how to feel about this after what happened with Anders xD

Yeaaaah. These games are suppose to be a way to get away from reality. Not run into complicated relationships with the most adorable character there is and then feel bad about it. I demand my mushy-cutesie-kissy-face-ending or at least some way to obtain it! D<

Interesting. I might have to force myself to play it again. eventually. maybe. probably not, its too sad. I really hope they give us something that resolves this. I think the worst part of it is that while we, the player, knows what he is our character does not. As far as my Lavellan knows he broke it off with her and disappeared due to some weird ass obsession with that orb. even insisting what they had was real yet offering no real explanation and disappearing almost immediately after. My Lavellan votes for a a dream-visit of sorts so he can explain himself at the very least.

Careful! She wants to one up Anders by blowing up the Concl---- oh. wait.

I guess another big worry is coming from the fact that his romance was added later. That means his whole story was already planned out, and I'm thinking the breakup had to happen so that it didn't interfere with their plans for his importance in the story. I just really hope not.

I like being able to work harder/do something extra to get better results. It's something I feel like DA2 and DA:I have lacked. DA:I does have some though, like the whole quest you can do for Cullen to weaken Samson which makes your fight with him easier. And the doing the trials in the Temple of Mythal to ally with Abelas and still get the well. But Origins had sooo many instances where you can do extra stuff to affect the outcome, including romances. Hardening Lelianna for the sacred ashes stuff, hardening alistair so he doesn't dump you when he becomes king, ogb to live in the end, saving wolves and dalish, etc. But then I guess these things are hell for importing and future games, so maybe that's why they toned down on them?
Like if there was an option where the only way he wont break up with you is if you find and activate every elven artifact in the game... heck yes I would spend the hours to do that.

But I have a feeling it was just never meant to be in the first place.

Spoiler

I thought about this as well, and it made me wonder why they would even bother adding him as a romance. The lack of closure for our Lavellans really makes it feel like their romance arc is incomplete, so hopefully it's because they're planning more content and will address it later, and not just a result of them adding the romance later.

 

And did anyone else find it ironic that you commit to a romance with Solas in the same scene where he dumps you?

 

And one last thing, did anyone else notice this in his last romance scene?

Spoiler

Solas going for the butt grab. 

 

[puppyofwar]

Hello! Fellow Solasmancers!

 

I start the game with a Dalish mage for Cullen, just for fun because I have no shame  I pick the flirt option when talking to the nerdy elf......

 

And I fell head over heels for the guy I have zero interest before.

 

Long story short, GOD DAMN YOU Patrick Weeks you magnificent bastard and your writing skill *sob*

Haha yeah, my friend made a joke about that, he dumps you because he realized that your booty is not big enough

As for the last scene...

Spoiler

He dumps you because he loves you so that's why you get the achievement? But it's kinda ironic, you get dumped and the game is like "beloved and precious"

I certainly hope so

Spoiler

I'm not even someone that necessarily needs a happy ending, I can appreciate a bitter one if well done
But the "end" to Solas romance just felt way too sudden, no closure at all because you're not even properly dumped (since he said he'd explain everything and so on)
Also I feel like his romance is way less than the others... I love the scenes we have, and I'm glad they made him a romance at all but it still seems very little :/
If there us no explanation I'll be angry
