Well when I get their response I'll post it in here. I'm just worried about everyone badgering them for spoilers.

[ACD101]

Same here! I love spoilers :3 PM please, and thank you

[jellobell]

I'll admit, I do like that we take the lead. Reminds me of Garrus.

 

And I guess this is confirmation that he's ultimately good? I'm so glad. As cool as the fen'harel thing would've been, I've realized that I desperately want him to be what he seems: someone with amazing ideas, a kind heart, and a wry sense of humour.

I'm not sure spoilers about Solas's nature would make it into the romance commentary.

[Tamyn]

His romance gifts are chew toys and a flea collar.

True, I still think he's going to be some sort of "traitor", but ultimately a good person.

This popped up in the thread about Blackwall not being a Warden, same basic ideas but Solas looks less innocent in this version - also, this says he straight up betrays you rather than admitting to screwing up the world:

 

It appear Solas is behind the explosion, the Breach, and will be a Traitor later in the game. If your relationship is high enough after his betrayal, you can convince him to return to the Inquistion and atone for his crime by helping you to stop the Elder One. Thus he lives and works hard toward atoning for his crimes by working with the Inquisition to undo the damage he has done to the world.

 

If your friendship is not high enough or you choose the options that does not ask him to return and atone for his crimes then you will be forced to kill Solas.

 

It is basically a Zevran moment all over again

So many conflicting reports....I think I give up, I'm just gonna wait and see.

I´m not even sure I believe the screw up theory, I think whatever he´s done he did it deliberately. If anyone watched the stream that spoiled the Haven attack he keeps giving you these dark looks, he´s definitely hiding something

[scintilla]

We've seen a few common elements at least? But yeah. I guess we'll find out when it happens.

[RynJ]

Still not sure I'm buying it. Why would anybody keep him alive if that's the case? It's like 20 times worse than Anders and almost nobody spared him. There must be more to it than that.

 

I also wonder if

Spoiler

the time travel shenanigans

will have any bearing on Solas's story or how you deal with it.

 

Also, my friend is watching a stream right now and is telling me about what's going on. It's the whole Redcliffe story with Dorian and

Spoiler

apparently in the mission you get thrown a year into the future with Dorian. In that year, the Elder One has succeeded and demons overran the world. The person had Solas and Blackwall in their party and you find them both locked up in cells and tainted with red lyrium. They both say they're dying and Solas is relieved to see you and calls this version of the world an abomination that must be reversed.

[Ceoldoren]

This would all make more sense if someone whose seen this would just explain WHY he did all this. Otherwise I can't tell a thing other than that he opened the breach. 

[ACD101]

well at least we all know that he in fact is the traitor of the group. No doubt about that.

[scintilla]

And now there's this:

 

The explosion wasn't really Solas' fault but it happened because the Inquisitor interfered with Solas casting. Due to the interference by the Inquisitor the key to the spell backfired and cause the explosion along with implanting itself into the Inquisitor's hand. So ya the Explosion really was the Inquisitor's fault and would have never happened if he or she didn't confront Corypheus and Solas.

 

However, if Inq had not done so the Veil would have been destroyed and Corypheus would have began his plan to acend into the Black City

 

They didn't come up with a source which isn't surprising.

 

Wouldn't Solas being in a tavern elsewhere contradict this?

Well, I guess that's not him in the tavern, and just a look alike. 

Remember in one of the trailers there was a character that was eaten by a dragon, and it looked like Solas, but it actually wasn't.

 

I guess baldness is a popular style xD

[scintilla]

Solas is definitely not physically present for the Breach. Which is a curious thing if he wanted to the power for himself, now that I think about it.

In one of the loading screens it's said that Solas was in a nearby village when the explosion happened and there were witnesses that saw him.

[ACD101]

hmm, I guess he could have been in a deep slumber, entering the fade lol

[jellobell]

Got a reply!

 

"Sure! Well, it's as informative as a wikipedia article; just some broad strokes for me. Seems the tone is fairly sweet, but you have to push for the romance, be the flirtatious aggressor. You'll have a plot quest for it, just one I think, and it will have a similar pattern toMass Effect games, in terms of when and how you progress it."

 

Looks like the guide doesn't actually give away all that much, so I don't think they'd be able to give any spoilers even if you asked.

[jellobell]

More Solas stuff from the Blackwall thread.

 

Don't slap Solas quite yet....

 

Spoiler

His reasons has been quite clear that he aim to one day allow Spirits and Mortals live in peace and he believe the reason peace never happens is because the Veil prevents Spirits and Mortals from understanding each other due to separation. Corytheus offered him a chance in that but it was a trick and Corypheus used Solas ideals of seeking peace with Spirits and Mortals to progress his goals

Sooooo...he was manipulated after all.

[RynJ]

Something still isn't adding up. There's like 5 different versions of the story and we still can't figure out what's what! Him being present at the explosion, for example. If people saw him in a village and that's confirmed, that doesn't make sense. And what does he betray you for later in the game? It's clear that, if he was tricked, he already sees that everything went wrong so what makes him a traitor?

 

If this is true, more people will probably kill him than they did Anders even so. Heck, my Inquisitor will have a hard time justifying keeping him alive after everyone who suffered. But it's still an interesting story. As the saying goes: the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

[scintilla]

So we have three sources for that. I wonder if he actually betrays the Inquisitor later then? Or does it just come out that he was involved in the creation of the Breach?

 

I'm wondering just how people are using the term "traitor" honestly. And yeah, there's evidence he wasn't physically present when the Breach occurred. Could it be a Fade thing maybe?

[Chernaya]

I definitely would have guessed that the PC would have to be the initiator for a Solas romance. Looks like we'll get a variety on that with the LI's this time. I've heard Blackwall is the same way but for others like Bull they definitely seem to be the ones who take the lead.

I like this news. It's kinda sad, but it's nice to know he's not completely evil/insane or anything. xD Good intentions gone wrong...

[jellobell]

It's clear that, if he was tricked, he already sees that everything went wrong so what makes him a traitor?

Two possibilities:

 

1) He hates the breach but still sees Cory and that artifact thingy as the best way to fix the world by tearing down the veil. So he's working to close it as well as to find Cory in order to get the artifact back.

 

2) Cory reveals Solas as the cause of the breach at a key moment in order to cause rifts between inquisition members.

[Ajna]

Maybe when people use the word "traitor" they just mean that he was working with Cory so therefore that makes him a traitor?  Not that he actually is, since he had good intentions and Cory manipulated him...you know how people are...black and white...
