It made me sad when he finally said he had no more Fade stories to share.  I could've listened to him talk about that forever   Obviously people have different tastes but I thought his voice was so wonderfully done that I was shocked to learn that some people didn't like it.  This probably isn't something I should admit but I'm pretty sure his voice literally made my mouth water at some points

 

People don't like his voice?  That's like not liking Dorian's snark or wanting Varric to grow a beard.  I guess what I'm saying is the Black City is black, bears are the most terrifying random encounter, and Solas' voice and cadence will always capture me like magic. 

 

Ugh, forgive me while I gush for a second.

 

It's the words he says and the soft voice he uses all wrapped up in that song-like cadence, that slays me.  This is important.  I don't mean that I enjoy rping my PC liking the guy, like I loved to do with Garrus and Fenris etc.  What I mean is me, as a real person, sits there with my mouth open stunned into silence.  I mean I'm not silly I don't love him, like I don't love any other actor or fiction, but that char really engages me on a level that I have never had in a game.  This char makes me clap my hands in joy for the art of video games.  We are seriously edging into plot and dialogue worthy of well-written books.  I'm so freaking happy.

 

It almost makes me scared.  If he does turn out to be the big bad ... I will personally feel destroyed.  Because I actually trust that guy.  I have been won over by his manner and voice and diction.  Of course if they do it in the right way, I'll love it.  I'm a damn masochist and occasionally I want my heart ripped out.  But I'll cry.  Like, for real, I will cry.

 

And scene.  Sorry about that guys.  I just finished another playthrough and I was floored once again.  I feel like I can only be skeptical of Solas when I'm not looking at him, because he won me hook-line-and-sinker once again.

I can't imagine people not liking Solas' voice. It just sounds so soothing and gentle... And the way he talks, it's like listening to someone recite poetry. Not to mention the sound of his laugh. *sigh*

 

But people have their opinions and I guess the best we could do is respect that.

Tell me honestly, is it just my imagination or does my new Solasvictimmancer look like a fourteen year old girl?

She looks great, maybe a little young, but elves look young in general.

Is your avatar a picture taken with your phone as well, CapricornSun83? Cuz if so, it looks shockingly good

She does look young, but at least there's no mistaking her for prepubescent.

 

Oh well. I have a friend that looks like she's fifteen even though she's twenty-five. It happens. Yup. That Lavellan is definitely legal, no doubt.

Spoiler

Though she's still young enough to be hot for hahren.

 

Also, I was thinking. Hallelujah was on the Shrek soundtrack, and his relationship with Fiona turned out okay. I don't know what this has to do with anything, but there it is.

It's been hard in either Origins or DAI to make an elf that doesn't look like a child. I find preset 2 to be the best. Widen the eye rotation, lower the mouth a little, give them some complexion. My real problem with the PC elf model is the spindly limbs. Why couldn't we get Sera's body model?

I can see that actiony types would find the dream-like quality to his voice annoying, or maybe they just don't like elves or aren't interested in the spiritual stuff in which case they're just not going to like his character. Whereas my quintessential Inquisitor is so much like him, I didn't even have to work to get his approval up (that's what she said).

You know, some people say it's hard to play a Dalish after this game since you find out so many of their beliefs are wrong, but with all the insight you gain on spirits and the Fade, I find it increasingly hard to play an indoctrinated Andrastian fool.

Thank you! Yes it's taken with my phone. I edited it a bit using Photoshop though.

Oh okay! That's good! I was a bit worried because everyone else has such beautiful womanly Lavellans while mine looks like... something from Final Fantasy (at least in my eyes she looks like something from Final Fantasy. ).

I guess I'm just an old romantic, which is why I'm so entranced by him. 

 

And really? I'm the opposite, I find it more fun to play a Dalish after DA:I because their history turned out much more complex and interesting! (Then again, I might be biased because I'm fond of playing a Dalish even in DAO.) 

 

Also, who's to say that the Andrastian religion isn't wrong too?

She doesn't look anymore like something from Final Fantasy than Fenris does. Oh, wait...

[Hedinve]

The tiny frames wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't paired with the gorilla walk. This is one thing that annoys me, it's the third freaking game and they managed to get Cass' movements/walk right, but the pc still looks like an ape with cacti stuck in their armpits...

Haha!   I say "Final Fantasy" because I realized that Tala (my Lavellan) reminds me of a female elf version of this guy from Final Fantasy XIV. But that's just me, I guess.

Lol, true. Pretty sure that femQuisitor shares a lot of animations with the male model. I didn't mind it in Mass Effect where my female Shepard was a soldier and always in heavy armor, so she was moving appropriately. Now it's hard to watch anything that happens in those pajamas. Have to mentally edit her into a more normal looking person.

Lol same. The way femQuisitor sits too with her legs spread apart and always hunching/slouching too... It looks especially odd on someone as petite as Lavellan.

Oh heck, this!

At least she moves normal in the important scene(s).

...Yep, that one!

[Rabbitonfire]

Does anyone have good screenshots of Solas? I'm terrible at taking screenshots myself and I want to use them to sketch out ideas before consider modding.

[Hedinve]

It's not too bad with a warrior female human, but when Levellan sits down on the bench in Josies office in Haven, I cringe.

[Addai]

Go back a couple pages, we were posting screenshots and there are some pretty awesome ones.

I just noticed on PW's tweet pic... everyone in his party is either dead or on their last legs and Solas has the merest sliver of health. Good thing that wolf is friendly!

[Kulyok]

I think his best facial expression - a small private smile - comes up when you're talking about the power of the Well and the Inquisitor says she'd use it to change the world for the better. And, of course, she sounds just like his younger self.

 

Some info from my elven playthrough(planning a completionist one, but so. many. bugs! I don't know if I'll get his comment on me being a specialist mage(didn't last time), or his third quest(never gotten it last time), but I keep trying):

- in Redcliffe there's a house near the water, next to Connor(if you have him). Solas has a line or two when you enter it - it's very sad. About ocularums and Tranquil.

- during Solas' first quest, Mihris tells you the whole truth about her clan if you're Dalish, so Solas' comment "Ma harel, da'len" only comes for non-Dalish Inquisitors.

- Solas has a few great lines in "obligatory interjection comes here" places, so I recommend you to save, and reload a few times until you got it. Example: when you've just met Solas, and you've gone down and are now approaching the stairs to the second rift, your mark pulses. Cassandra and Varric can interject, but when Solas interjects, it's great. He has two lines(at least): one is about "my magic cannot stop your mark from spreading, so we'd better hurry, for your sake", and another is(again, paraphrased) "we should hurry if we want her to survive" - and filled with concern, even if he seems to speak to Cassandra and not the Inquisitor.

 

(Two days, 80++ pages. I'm getting too old for this!)

[Vorathrad]

I need to continue my mage Levellan then. Like I needed another excuse to do that. To keep with the topic, as a Levellan everything Solas said felt flirty. With my human he just comes off as friendly (and a little weird and pompous). Strange how those flirts affect the tone of his character.

 

It's curious that I got a very different feeling. My first playthrough was a female mage Trevelyan, romanced Cullen and loved it; but in the end, I got the feeling that Solas had a kind of platonic love or admiration for my Trevelyan. I didn't knew anything about Solas romance or read this thread (which I do every day now, you are all wonderful!), but I got that vibe of "on the thin line between friendship and love", specially during the balcony scene. I was like "Wow, I don't know if he wants to get in her pants, but this guy certainly likes my Trevelyan".

 

By the way, during my first playthrough I almost started a romance with Solas despite being so happy with the Cullen one; it was something in his eyes, his voice... then I found this thread and had to make a female Lavellan and

So, who in here agrees with me that Solas would be sorted into Slytherin?

(And I would have whole-hearted put him in Ravenclaw before the game came out, ha.)

I've noticed there are a lot of players who romanced other characters yet still felt drawn to Solas in some way. I swear it's his charm and intrigue that pulls you in.

Nah, I think I'd still put him in Ravenclaw..if I was the sorting hat.
