Hey,

 

first: I have to say SORRY because of my english - I'm no native speaker

 

second: I'm no real gamer    - more a type who love stories and discussion about decisions

 I'm the co-pilot-viewer if my flatmaid is gaming rpgs ;-).

 

third the reason why I'm now registered:

Solas (or better the dread wolf) took me, because of this genius voice acting *hmpf*

It is so great to listen to this voice - and the german dubbing *örks* it's really horrifying...

 

what I've find out is that Solas means "light" and "enlighten" in Irish Gaelic if this is something very old to you - I'm sorry, too - and I think that's a very nice thougt to redeem and enlighten him

Playing Nature of the Beast again. A clear reminder that you must never trust the bald elf.

Now that you've mentioned it, there has been at least one bald/balding elven mage in each game who turned out to be a bit... morally ambiguous for lack of better words (Zathrian in DA:O, Orsino in DA2 and of course Solas in DA:I).

 

I'm totally keeping any character that fits that description in DA4 under close watch!

I had a thought.

 

If Solas is a Dreamer, then why did he not use his Dreamer powers to locate Corypheus and either kill him or direct the Inquisition's forces to him or at the very least, alert his agents to where Corypheus was so that they can steal his Orb ? I mean, Corypheus must have used the Fade a lot and Dreamers are capable of entering the Fade and killing people right ? Okay so perhaps Corypheus does not sleep. But what about Samson or Calpernia ? They sure needed sleep. Furthermore, Calpernia is a mage and the Venatori that Corypheus are allied with have mages with them. We know that Solas killed Felassan in his dreams so what stopped him from doing this ?

It's hard to say how much Solas' abilities as a dreamer were diminished by events like the Breach - it may also be that invading or locating someone's mind is trickier than we think it is.

 

After all - if he knew the mind of Corypheus, would he ever give him the orb and assume that it'll kill him?

 

And it's not like Cole can give us precise reading where Cory is. In fact when we ask him for a reading on Corypheus, he says that Cory is "too loud" and his thoughts are all jumbled, so he can only get partial reading.

 

There's also another thing - perhaps Solas doesn't want to touch blighted minds (or minds close to the Blight). He's freaked out by the Blight as it is.

 

Plus, don't forget that Venatori mages use A LOT of blood magic, and blood magic - as Solas himself tells us - makes it harder for a mage to cross through the Fade, which may also mean that they're harder to localize by spirits/dreamers.

You raise an interesting point. Perhaps the reason blood magic came into existence in the first place was not only because of its power, but because it was capable of countering Dreamer magic.

 

I mean, how else could one combat a Dreamer mage other than to say, use Blight magic or Blood Magic (unless if you are a more powerful Dreamer yourself) ?

I'm still headcanonning that the whole Orsino thing at the end is just Varric's shitty story ending. Because it's Varric's telling the story to Cass right? IIRC the monster Orsino turns to in the end (Harvester) looks like one we fought in Awakening so probably Anders just gives shitty description, Varric noted it "AH AH I am writing it!" and just then decides to let Orsino go and put an unbelieveable story afterward.

[Qun00]

Funny thing about Orsino is that he's got the same hairdo as a certain arrogant fellow from the College of Winterhold...

You know, since the Thalmor's ultimate goal is to undo creation so that Mer can return to their et'Ada shape again (https://www.reddit.c..._want_to_undo/ ), that would make Solas a Thalmor, since that essentially what he wants for Theodosian Elves.

 

& Lavellan would be a Female Bosmer. Come to think of it, Solas would look glorious in Thalmor Robes. Just imagine him in it. Here's a picture of the robes.

 

 

Dorian and Vivienne would not be able to call Solas 'Apostaste Hobo' anymore.

I saw someone else mention it, then she did, and so I had to investigate. I had already seen the artist's account and her devotion to Solas/Solavellan before.

Nice. I bet the new Mass Effect is going to have at least a few as well.

Hmm, Solas actually makes for a lovely color. It's definitely something I'd wear as an everyday sort of warm neutral.  (I have dark brown hair and eyes so this would actually be pretty perfect for that purpose).

 

http://www.temptalia...photos-swatches

 

 

I don't have a problem, really.

 

I might have to eventually look for a similar color though.

 

I don't have a problem either. [wink wink] At first I thought, "Really? These guys are going to buy eye shadow just because it's called Solas?" Then a moment later, "I wonder how much that stuff costs, anyway?" I don't even usually wear eye shadow, and that color would be way too dark on my pale as death skin. I resist the crazy urges, but I still have them. We're all mad here. "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men [and women]." -Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

 

True.  But at least those tend to take more than one page to get to the hatefest for Solas.

 

 

Yup, very dead.  But some people think he might be Tranquil.

 

Personally I'm in favour of ghost!Felassan stalking Solas for the entire of DA4 and making sarcastic comments.

 

I have been in the "Felassan is tranquil" camp in the past, mostly because I've been itching for a tranquil party member since Origins, but ghost!Felassan is a fabulous idea.

 

Or how about hallucination!Felassan? Extreme stress, guilt, and loneliness cause Solas to have a psychotic break. Imagine the reaction of his followers as he storms about, wildly gesturing, and speaking in Elvhen to an elf no one else can see. Or, a spirit might take on the appearance of Felassan. I toyed with that in my fanfic. It was fun to write . I'm uncertain how this all might fit into a future game though. If Solas is the antagonist we are unlikely to have much insider information on what's going on with him...unless we play a mole in his campaign.

[animedreamer]

I often find that for those who didn't romance Anders, it's often the opposite reaction and people loathe him.

 

Which is ironic because a mage apostate who sets in motion a plan that lead to a church being destroyed and the death of an important religious figure and a bunch of people describes both Solas and Anders... and yet they get totally different treatment from the fans?

 

The only difference is that Anders carries out his plans personally rather than orchestrating them from behind the scenes, but it's essentially the same scenario at play both times when you really get down to it. So why does Anders get the hatred, when Solas' actions seem to get glossed over?

 

I think that's part of why a lot of people began to hate Solas following Trespasser, because everyone subconsciously realised;

 

"Oh my god, Solas is friggin' Anders!"

 

I romanced Anders in DA2, first romance in fact probably because he was the most FORCEFUL person romantically in the game, he just couldn't accept no as an answer. Also unlike Anders Solas didn't plan or make Corypheus activate the orb at the Temple of Sacred Ashes during the conclave, that was all Cory, Solas would have been just as happy if Cory had did it the moment he got the orb, and if possible before he got the dragon link and perma killed himself. Anders intentionally blew up the chantry with everyone inside who was inside. I don't see them as the same, Anders was being selfish, he imposed his own experiences on to everyone else despite that not being the case, then used the situation in Kirkwall as an excuse to go to the extreme in the hopes his own personal War would become everyone else's, congratulations Anders you succeeded, even the people who liked the circles are now being killed and the templars who were good and fair/nice to the mages are also being killed.

I'm reading Magekiller #3; in one of the scenes Tessa reads to Marius one of Varric's books. The one excerpt cited in the comic goes like this:

 

"The night had been cold, all the colder without the arms of her true love for shelter. She had dared everything for him, and now he was gone, and the doubt plagued her incessantly. Had her heart been betrayed? Led astray?"

 

(Tess' comments on it: "...Oh, this is awful...")

 

... Is it me, or does it sound a bit... trollish on Rucka's part?

Dorian and Vivienne would not be able to call Solas 'Apostaste Hobo' anymore.

The similarity is even closer because the Thalmor aren't thinking of all elves, just the Altmer. Likewise, Solas wants to save the surviving ancient elves and bring back the world they once knew.

And yes, the Thalmor justiciar outfit would be the envy of the Orlesian court.

[midnight tea]

That is wholly debatable. He wants to restore the world to how it was but not necessarily just to the benefit of just those ancient elves who survived. It'll restore all people to how they were before, though the process and cost of it is not yet fully known.
