How did you handle his personal quest?

 

Spoiler

Those Kirkwall mages definitely fall into the "too stupid to live" category, but I stopped him from killing them. It was interesting to see him so enraged. There's a passionate side you wouldn't expect from his cool demeanor. It has interesting parallels to Cole's quest.

 

Spoiler

Even though my usual instinct is to spare everybody... it was too personal. Solas was *so* hurt and, honestly, they *did* capture, torture, and ultimately led to the death of a very dear friend of his.

 

I think to how I would react if someone did that - no matter how unwittingly - to one of my dear friends, and I can't say I wouldn't want blood for blood.

 

I let Solas have his rage and kill them. And honestly, if they're dumb enough to try and summon spirits/demons (especially with the Veil the way it is right now), they really don't need to be around to try and bring even *more* into the world. We've enough demons falling out of the sky as it is without help, thankyouverymuch.

ageeed! And Morrigan mentions that the Inquisition has allies but also some who are against it in the shadows, waiting to strike at some point. Also the fact that we can actually play after the game ends, which we haven't been able to do in the past games, really makes me think we'll have an Inquisition 2. I think it makes sense anyway, 5 protags seems like a bit much. Perhaps the story of the three, an extra game for the Inquisitor because they are so powerful and there's so many loose ends, and the final game where they might come together and things get mostly wrapped up.

Re: his personal quest

Spoiler

My Inquisitor let him kill them. She's a ruthless, unforgiving sort herself and in his position would have done the exact same thing - hell and probably would have made it slow. It was an easy decision once I imagined how she would react to the same situation with one of her clanmates or her own good spirit friend [Cole].

While talking about quests, how many did you guys get? The wiki says there are three, but I only got two
The one I can't find anything about is called "What lies Dormant"

mmh. that im not sure about. Hawke/the warden can both die now, which means they're both unlikely to return. But the inquisitor is alive, with an open ending, little background, and the story seems like it was cut short, both in romances and the abruptness of the ending. its possible they decided to use DA:I to set up for a fourth game (similar to how da2 feels like a set up for inquisition) and are planning on running with our inquisitor for a time, especially because the inquisition forms and destroys its foe in a short period of time, similar to DAO, but without our character dying in bioware canon. I don't know. it just seems strange to leave this character with an open ending without a very good reason to do so.

It's really sweet how Cole tries to comfort Solas

Spoiler

after he loses his friend, and then Solas turns around and tells Cole he's not allowed to die, since beings like him are rare and precious. That was the first conversation where Cole's true nature was revealed to me in-game.

 

Solas may not have many chat options, but he's had comments on so many side quests and locations, more than anyone else in my game (maybe because I take him everywhere, lol). But when we were in this ancient elven temple underground in the Dales

Spoiler

(filled with wolf statues and a giant bald elf statue in the middle)

I was surprised that he was completely silent.

 

I like that for all of Solas' "crazy" ideas about spirits, his personal quest proves him completely right. It really changes how you view Thedas' cosmology.

I assume the way DA:I ending is setting up for DLC/maybe a whole expansion pack like awakening as opposed to being the protagonist for a whole other game.

[Roxy]

Spoiler

Very much so. Believe me, it's dreadfully hard to see a button click prompt and IGNORE IT. LOL

 

But I'm trying hard to straight-up roleplay this time, too. Which means I gotta stop trying to meta-game so much. So, in a WWMLD (What Would My Lavellan Do?) moment, I knew she'd never full-up desecrate the graves of her ancestors, so she didn't. Didn't mean nicking from above-ground plant pots was off-limits, though. You can only ask for so much self-control from a rogue. 

 

It's led to some interesting moments, though. Like on this one Dalish quest in the Exalted Plains, a loved one was found dead after trying to do something stupid. And I told the next of kin that the person died trying to do something brave. Solas slightly disapproved. And it was tempting to reload and try the other options because OMG SOLAS DISAPPROVED THIS CANNOT STAND, but then I was like, "You know what, Solas? I know you value being bluntly and brutally honest - however IRONIC in a METAGAME SENSE that is, dear sir - but I am NOT telling this grieving, shocked individual that their loved one died via Darwin Award by being an idiot. That's just mean. "

 

Spoiler

 I only destroyed one of them and then I pretty much came to my senses and quit. I agree with telling the female elf that her brother was brave but I wanted to get Solas's approval cause I already done a few things that Solas didn't approve of...not next time though.   

 

I already got the Dalish elves stocked with what they want and brought the golden halla to them now I'm trying to figure out what else will get their approval cause I'm almost close to having the Keeper let me take one of his people with me....ugh this game.

Spoiler

while it could be, its likely we'd require a dlc that is at least the length of awakening due to the number of questions that are brought up. Also from what I remember they didn't want to do a dlc character this time around because they wanted it to feel like the game stands on its own and you're not missing anything *too* big. Correct me if i'm wrong but having a dlc/expansion to get a proper ending doesn't exactly go hand in hand with their new policy on having no dlc characters because it would feel like you're not getting the whole game.

[wildannie]

What Lies dormant unlocks once you have located over 10 elven artifacts according to the strategy guide,  I think its mostly a big boss fight.

 

I've not finished the game but I have to say I'd be very surprised if they decided to make another game with the same protagonist, simply because they have said quite a few times that they always have a new one.  I'm guessing that not all quizzy's have such a 'difficult' relationship so to have the same protag would mean that there would have to be many returning companions too, which also seems unlikely to me.

 

I am optimistic about there being an expansion though,  I don't think adding additional quests to the content we already have pre endgame would be very interesting,  there's sooooo much to do already, but going forward with the same characters would be AWESOME!!! so I'm hopeful that it is successful enough for something like this to go ahead.   I will be pretty gutted if Solas is not in it though.  His character may well be my favorite from all Bioware games because in addition to the usual appeal of BW characters, he's so much more...  Did I ever mention that my favourite animal was the wolf?  well it is, always has been, always will be.

 

I'm pretty sure that one way or another we've not seen the last of wonderful Solas, but whether we get the closure we want on our Lavellan quizzys is another matter.

What proper ending? The goal of DAI was to stop the Elder One and you did so we already have our "proper" ending, the epilogue simply shows you that it was Solas who set it into motion and dealing with him is a whole new story on its own and it would not feel right if this was not handled by the Inquisitor, romance or not, there's a big connection between the two and a whole new game with the inquisitor as the protag seems VERY unlikely. DLC/expansion makes much more sense.

[Renmiri1]

Was browsing spoilers on Youtube, to decide if I romance Solas or another on my first PT.

 

I don't mind the tears but his content is minimal ????? I mean I'm judging from youtube, in my level 11 PT I already did ALL the love scenes (one in the fade, the one after fade) before the teary one??

 

Is this right ? Cullen who was added much later has a dance and kisses and such.. Solas has only the 2 love scenes  in the first 5 minutes after you are able to romance him and the tears at the end ?

 

Sheesh Bioware, he is the best character and even Sandal had more lines than his romance

 

PS: Why do I do that to myself I don't know.. I romanced Thane, Allistair with ultimate sacrifice, Anders now Solas... Sucker for tragic love I guess

They're Circle mages, though. They don't know any better.* I think they learned their lesson from Angry Solas.

 

*Though of course what Zathrian did was much worse. Bottom line, no one's had the benefit of Solas or Cole around to change their perspective except you and your companions.

Sorry, I'm just picturing Solas freezing like oh sh1t I hope she doesn't notice and breathing a sigh of relief when the Inquisitor just blithely walks on.

[Tamyn]

Yeah, I thought it was a very suspicious silence after his commentary on almost everything else.

 

But I guess the statues were of Falon'din and his brother? They were represented by wolves for some reason. Maybe they were wolfy-looking dogs.

My Inquisitor is probably one of the kindest, sweetest characters I've ever RPed, so she stopped him from killing them too.  I teared up doing that quest; everything from his voice to his body language to his facial expression shows just how much rage and pain he's feeling.  I wish there'd been a hug option for him.

God, yes, a hug option was needed so badly!

 

Gareth really nailed the voice-acting there. From his initial horrified gasp to his cries to his "Shut. UP!" and everything in between, it gutted me. Simply gutted me. Like, I actually felt a bit nauseous sick with empathy for him.

 

John Epp (not to be confused with John Epler, cinematic designer for Bull) was phenomenal with crafting his facial expressions and body language, too. That was just an amazing quest.

[CPail]

Kind of a side note from the main posts going on, and maybe it's been said or mentioned (reading 884 pages of posts isn't within my time limit)... but I looked at Solas' token, and I do know there's been mention of it being a halla's jaw.

 

I don't think it's a halla's jaw, for two reasons: one, hallas are revered by the Dalish, and we know how Solas perceives their activities and beliefs, and two, the lower mandible has a very pronounced fang. This is speculation, but it would make sense if his token were from a wolf, or related to a wolf.

[Tamyn]

Devs confirmed it's a wolf jaw.

This game's epilogue is shorter than either of its predecessors. Aside from whomever ends up the divine and the post-epilogue clip we really don't know what the main characters and the inquisition ended up doing. Do we stick around for long?  does the inquisition just abandon? what happens to the inquisitor? what of the companions? (this one may be because my first play was a rushed one though, and i'll find out in pre-epilogue/post-corypheus victory dialogues, however even cole whom was more spirit like in my game mentioned he was going to stick around for a while.) We got information on what our warden did (or didn't do if they died), and what hawke did for a time at least, but not our inquisitor. Josephine mentions a lot of nobles want to meet us now but is that all we do? bounce around from place to place meeting nobles until we die of boredom? I'm not expecting all the answers now, as we didn't get a definitive answer on Hawke or the (living) warden until now, but I was expecting more explanation that we got. We didn't die, or wander off, or continue on warden business or become a ruler. We didn't get exiled from a city or become a viscount, and we can still explore the world after the storyline is complete.

 

It just feels like there wasn't a real ending in the sense that they left it too open, and with a cliff hanger about Solas (and Flemeth technically). yes, a dlc could perhaps resolve that in a way that doesn't feel like a cliffhanger, but we don't know how much or little of a story there is behind that clip. Would I like there to be another game with the inquisitor? yes. it feels like their story isn't as complete as the previous heroes.

 

am I saying it's likely? No. I've mentioned it as an unlikely possibility and a personal preference.

 

Would I be content with dlc explaining solas' cliffhanger? probably. maybe. It really depends on how it is done.

 

but am I content with the ending as it is? No. there are way too many questions left there and if they are indeed planning on moving to another area of the world in future games then it's unlikely we'll get any definitive answers in a future game which is, in part, why I think there should have been more answers now.

I also chose for Solas to back down, but not because I'm nice... I thought maybe Solas could teach them why they'd done wrong, and what they should do next time... and if they'd fail then, their blood is all his. I wanted them to have a chance to redeem themselves, especially in their ignorance.

I also didn't want Solas to give up part of his humanity.

Ah yes, his personal quest.. my romance with him almost ended before it even started because I wouldn't let Solas do what he wanted
