So in a rivalry dialogue with Solas he says that the blight was unlocked because someone thought it was the ultimate power. There's a codex entry (I have been trying to find it again on DA wiki but no go so far) that states "give the stone your screams". A theory that I like is that to suppress the madness of the Blight, titans or maybe just pieces of their bodies were given the blight and hence, red lyrium.

So because I'm excited at the thought that I could now record videos of Tala on my PS4, I recorded a video of Tala's first meeting with Solas and Varric.

 

 

And screenshots because I can. 

 

Closing the first Fade rift.

Wheeee!

 

Tala looking annoyed?

 

Tala looks really annoyed! xD (And hello, Cassandra! )

 

Innocent times. Solas you cute hobo apostate elf you.

"Was that a serious question?"

 

 

 

Just Solas and Tala conversing.

Poor poor Tala..it has begun.

Yay, screenshots and video.

 

Screenshots are so easy to go overboard with but I love taking so many. It means I get a lot of laggy ones with weird faces, but some nice ones too.

Lol, I go waaaay overboard with screenshot taking. I get annoyed whenever I get shots of Tala with her eyes closed. Like, really? Is my timing really that bad? 

[NightSymphony]

I have taken so many bad screenshots that I refuse to share.

I've shared some of my laggy screenshots. They make me laugh a lot.

 

I have one of Cullen with the most ridiculous look on his face. A lot of half blinks on everyone. Eye rolling lag.

I've wondered about something - it was my running theory before everything in Trespasser came to light, actually - and it's got a few holes now but I might as well put it down.

 

I wonder if people and spirits aren't binary things, but two halves of the same whole. Like, people act as though they're separate entities - people are spirits who became people, and you can only be one or the other. But let me propose a slight tweak to that theory - people people, the people Solas talks about, whole and healthy - are spirits and a physical form. That everyone has a "spirit," and everyone has a "body," and before the Veil, mostly everyone's spirit and body was perfectly in sync with each other. It's how Solas can be both a spirit, but also "grow up" - because he was never only a spirit. He always had a body, and that body grew just as any other does, but he also had a soul - a spirit of Pride, or Wisdom, or whatever. That we can't think of Solas as "just a spirit" or even "a spirit that's taken physical form," because it implies that a spirit is "whole," and the body's maybe just an add-on. But what if that's not the case, and spirits nowadays are just as shattered as people are?

 

"But Ella!" You're probably not screeching at your computer screen because that'd be weird. "We know spirits are fine. We've talked to plenty of them. Oh, sure, you got your nasty old demons, but the non-corrupted ones seem pretty alright." Are they, though? We know that a lot of spirits seem to be lacking a sense of identity, individuality - they name themselves after things, "Compassion," "Command," "Wisdom," but don't really take names for themselves, right? And Solas says that only spirits that have a strong sense of self can survive in the physical world - almost as though spirits that don't are lacking something. And what's odd, is that what they lack is the exact opposite of what people nowadays lack. People lack magic, mutability - they're too real, too physical. Spirits though, spirits lack permanence, lack stability - they are not real enough. It follows, then, that they way to fix them is to combine them. People - Cassandra, Josephine, Vivienne - are just... shards. But so are spirits - Wisdom, Faith, Command. They're severed halves of a single whole, lacking what the other has too much of. 

 

Which means that Solas is that perfect whole - a body completely in sync with it's spirit. It also means that Solas is a perfect abomination - a physical being that has completely entwined with it's metaphysical "partner." It's because of this that so many demons seek to possess something (Which, remember, they remain in the Fade as they do so - recall back to Origins, where we had to go into the Fade to kill the demon possessing Conner.) - they want to be whole with their physical half. And it's why so many abominations end up going crazy - because it's like trying to cram together two puzzle pieces that don't fit. Even "good" abominations like Wynne and Faith still think of themselves as separate beings. They might be a better match than most abominations, but they still aren't just right for each other - or maybe they are, and the Veil keeps them from fully intertwining. 

 

People as they currently are sort on a sliding scale of connection with their other halves. Dwarves have no connection, maybe because they don't even have another half (Spirits have little to no interest in them, remember). Tranquil have a completely severed connection. Most have a very, very weak connection, which is why they don't really dream of the Fade or attract demons. Mages have a slightly stronger connection, which is why they do dream of the Fade, because they are more in touch with their spirit there (Which is probably how they exist in the Fade to begin with - meaning that, when a mage dreams, they "slip in" to their spirit self and muck around in the Fade that way. This might also explain how Solas knows Lavellan's spirit even though she's apart from it.)  And Dreamers, rare as they are, are so in sync with their spirit that they can effect the Fade as any other spirit would - and act like a beacon to all the demons seeking out their other half because of it.

 

But none of them as in sync as as Solas, as any ancient elf, which is why he needs to tear down the Veil, so they'll no longer be severed from their own souls.

 

It explains a lot of other things too - the way Solas says Lavellan has a marvelous spirit, despite having a body and being a physical thing - because she does, she's just not completely in touch with it. It's why he seems to use "soul" and "spirit" interchangeably, despite them being very separate things in Dragon Age. It explains that dev comment on how there are "different opinions" on Solas being possessed (Which you'd think would be a pretty straight forward call.) It's why he says Sera is "apart from herself" - which wouldn't make much sense if she were a spirit given physical form, because her entire "self" would be right there. Why he says he grew up, even though he should've been born fully grown if he were just a spirit. Why Cole says he is in both places, even though (Like Sera) he should be all "right there." And it explains why Solas must tear down the Veil to restore his people - not so spirits can come here without worry. He wants to do it so everyone can reconnect with themselves.

 

It might even explain Justinia in the Fade - she's both a spirit of Faith and the Late Divine, because Justinia's soul was a spirit of Faith. 

 

There are some issues with the theory, though - for instance, Trespasser contains a reference to "brothers of the air," that haven't taken physical form - which wouldn't make sense if they have to have physical form by necessity. And there are spirits that have lived for thousands of years, despite bodies obviously not living so long (Although, perhaps they are the souls of people who have died already). And of course, there's Cole. Don't know where to begin with Cole.

 

Eh, just figured I'd throw it out there anyway.

 

Also sorry if a lot of this was already brought up. Shows me right for spending, like, two hours trying to gather my thoughts on how to say this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I totally, absolutely, completely agree with you.  I've had this theory also and it makes complete sense to me.  Other opinions of course vary and are viable, but I just completely agree with this on in particular strongly enough to have to say it.

Allright, caught up with the thread. Wow, so many posts! I have to get used to active forums again.

Love the art posts, they make my day so much better. I wish I could create something like this as well, but not before I have a tablet I can try to draw and colour on (I want a Surface 3 Pro so that might take a while)

 

It is so interesting starting the game again knowing all the info after finishing, I catch myself trying to figure out where he is saying a something that is not quite true. 

@CapricornSun: Nice that you have screenshots too, I suck at making those during the video parts.

I did just make a screenshot I'd love to share but it is on my Xbox One which lives at my bf's place and I forgot to upload to onedrive, so that will have to wait. I can share a romance one though that I wanted to put out in the world for fan to enjoy for a while. (as soon as I figure out how to upload it that is... :S)

 

Not sure if things we got to know in Trespasser are spoilers or not so tagging:

About the world ending and all that plan. It seemed obvious to me that the plan was to bring down the Veil seeing as it tore the world into incomplete halves. I do believe that it will not actually destroy anything much, maybe a few explosions here and there or something just to make it seem like something happened, it will more likely be a destruction of all beliefs, there will probably be wars all around and the more malevolent creatures getting in contact with the people will now cause way more trouble, much like the demons and the rifts. Fear and the lack of knowledge will be one of the main enemies as we could see it being the main reason the chantry and people condemned mages in the first place.
I understand the desire to fix what he ruined but once again he is not thinking straight. He put up the Veil as a punishment and as a way to get rid of the Evanuris but kind of right after Mythal was killed, so he was in a state of emotional distress and clearly it seemed like a good idea to him at the time. He didn't realize that will severe the ties the world had to magic and it will physically destroy elven architecture. Now he is awake, seeing how the world is ruining itself with all the slavery and elven servants that are invisible to the corrupt nobility and the blight and you name it. All he sees is this is wrong, he had only a year before he joined the inquisition, where he probably tried to talk to Dalish clans who pretty much told him to shut up with his nonsense about how things really are, except for some of the members who then became his agents spreading the word in secret. He couldn't unlock his orb, he was weak in magic, he was pretty miserable and thought "Okay, I'll let him unlock it, he'll die, **** will blow up, I'll get my orb back, what can go wrong?" Well, everything. Again. So he joined the inquisition to get his orb and keep an eye on the person now carrying his magic around. He fell in love in spite of himself knowing full well that he will have to leave and thinking there is no way we would understand his point of view with our 20-30-40 years of life experiences compared to his thousands. He was wrong and he just can't deal with it. His orb is destroyed so the whole Corypheus deal was for nothing. He had to go and kill Mythal again, doing the same thing that made him put up the Veil against the others in the first place. He seems so confident, so composed. I am pretty sure he is a mess inside, Sure he had plans, he always does, but like all his major plans I am certain these have serious flaws that he cannot see due to his emotional involvement in the matter. He is like someone who decides to jump off a bridge to save his loved ones from himself and that is a really really stupid idea.
Of course seeing that he is a powerful knowledgeable and experienced person his reasoning behind all this might be convincing, maybe from a warped point of view logical, but still wrong.

Yes I want to save him, yes I agree with the Veil being wrong, but there must be a better way to do all this not only the destroy the world again path.

Not sure this is the right way to add a picture but I'm trying...

 

[Qun00]

Sometimes I try to decide what my Lavellan is gonna look like when I get around to starting that PT, but it's just... frustrating.

Whenever I think of a combination of physical traits I like, it doesn't take long until I come across a picture or a video of a Lavellan that looks exactly the same.

Ughh.

So?  Make your Lavellan however you like.  Does it really matter if some other random person's Lavellan looks the same or similar?

People here probably seen this already but it blew my mind

http://canticle-of-a...-the-black-city

wait…have we already been to the Black City?!

Okay, not all of us, but those of us who imported an Old God Baby.

Check it out. When you run into the eluvian after Morrigan and Kieran, no matter how far you run or which direction you look, the sky is uncluttered. Nothing in the distance, no Black City.Anyhow, I’d be delighted if anyone can get a screenshot of the Black City and prove me wrong, because the magnitude of this being the Black City is almost more than I can handle.

Especially considering this section of the Fade contains red lyrium, the Claws of Dumat, a battering ram, fountains of blood, and an empty throne with shackles on either side.
