I made myself a little sad. Thumbing through World of Thedas V 2 while folks are working with lights and...Abelas is listed in a section titled."Enemies of the Inquisition".
Never noticed that before...was too excited to see he actually had an entry i guess.
I am going to choose to believe that we can change this in the future.
Maybe it's because the ritual is optional?
Possibly! It could be because when you first encounter them they attack both sides. Seeing him in the same section with Cory, Samson and Calpurnia is just a bit scary.

We only get 1 option to ally with him and only after doing those 3 puzzles, the other 2 options always lead to his death. Calpernia is also optional.
Is that the book that reads like it has been written by someone from the Chantry?
It's an apt name then especially on Saturday
Afrikaans? I know I've seen it pop up from time to time when I'm looking for Abelas.
Welcome AresKeith! You know i think the nugs are now spying for Solas too... remember when he talks to them in Crestwood? He wondered what they were thinking. Now he knows what are they are thinking!
Tielis is multiplayer worth playing? I haven't tried it yet. I think (and really hope) it was a shortcut because most of the sentinels look like Abelas. So either mega inbreeding, he's making copies with a uhhhhh nug? Or pulling sentinels out of the chainmail rear. I mean... Solas and Inky had that one conversation where he is on about side benefits. Surely there were tools involved!
Sentinel guide: (which is Abelas's face)
Spoiler
I'm going to go through my photobucket later and see if they did change it. I think they did. Had Solas and Bull arguing about carting off the last of elven glory while I was doing this. Elven glory has a whole different meaning to me
This face is similar but i don't see too much Abelas in it. I see blond eyebrows and the eyes are a different shape, the mouth and chin are also a bit off. So not exact replicas but similar, yes.

It's his face, slightly altered with visible eyebrows and different makeup (this one's wearing red blush and lipstick). The Sentinels are mostly clones, but Abelas still manages to be unique.

This is true. So maybe its just silly to be sad over. Depending on what you choose maybe next game Calpernia or Samson aren't on "the dark side". Who knows about Abelas though. *prayer circle*

Yes, they basically say this is rubbish no one can be that old they were just lunatics. lol

I've been staring at CC and photos of my faux abelas for too long. When I see them side by side I see it now. I kinda want to grab all of the sentinel faces now and just go over each one. I wont do it but it would be a fun distraction. He is so pretty and shiny and wonderful. I want to know more about him. Precious....
*i am out of likes, that doesn't mean I don't love you all*
Edit: Also I'm gonna go crawl under a pile of fluffy things to try to recover more from my blight. Have a nice time! Don't slay any dragons without me!

Hope you feel better soon! I love your faux Abelas. Their faces are soooo very similar. Love the smile
I'm really amused over here picturing Abelas after his Very Serious Speech, jumping out of his Speech Balcony and putting on red makeup, grabbing a staff and a big ass book and go back to pull off the old elvhen hag act for the Inquisitor. Now I know why he always keeps his back turned towards the Inquisitor: so we don't see him laughing!
I'm a bit absent these days because of RL issues but I'm watching you all :-)
Edit because my brain can't do word order right now.
Comedian sentinel... who knew? He does the best female impersonation or he just switches it up spirit style. His cabaret is legendary
Big ass book doubles as a secret weapon. He is like: these b*tches come up in here into the temple and they think they are going to throw down with the sentinels. They never see the old hag comin' until its too late and bam! b*tches be dead on the floor.
I will be ready with the Abelas porn when you come back or the crazy Solas hair pics... whatever you are in the mood for, my dear!
So, er...hey folks. o/ Please don't mind me, I'm just dropping by to make a little confession. My chest feels a bit heavy with guilt over Abelas after playing JoH DLC.
Under spoilers because it concerns a bit of random fangirling over Abelas, and because it's really not important to the thread.

Don't ever feel ashamed for liking more than one character! it's certainly not betrayal and it's very normal and not the least bit dirty, weeeelllll not that I find dirty a bad thing anyway 
. I loved Solas first because I thought he was a great character, my quizzy saw and talked to Abelas and loved him as well, I played Joh and grew a pair of goo goo eyes for Ameridan because.... yum. Usually something about a characters personality has to spark my interest in some way, it can be a full blown companion or an NPC that only shares the screen for just a couple of minutes. I tend to fall for characters that show intelligence, honor, introversion and calm heads for the most part (though not always) etc. Lastly I might drool a little over looks because hey I'm human lol.
Uhhh a list of characters I've fallen for throughout my life in no particular order....
Feanor - Silmarillion
Maedhros - Silmarillion
Alistair- DA
Zevran- DA (Was actually surprised how much I loved him after a second play through)
Thane- ME2 
Anders- DA2
Fenris -DA2
Solas- DA Inquisition
Abelas - DA Inquisition
Ameridan- DA Inquisition
So yeah, I'm an Abelas fan and proud of it but I love Ameridan as well. You seem really down about it and what I'm trying to say is; even if that's your characters particular RP or you're feeling that way personally, it's pretty normal to get all a flutter over several guys or gals. They're both great characters and I wished they had more screen time as well, you're not alone believe me.

Aw! Don't hide your other love behind a spoiler! My quizzie loves Solas! Abelas is cool as well and hopefully available for a new protagonist.

Yes! This will sound weird, and it is simply an opinion, but I found Ameridan to feel more human than Abelas. He displayed a whole range of emotions when he spoke. I dearly love Abelas but his emotional range felt stunted in comparison to Ameridan. However, I think some of that was due to the fact we were able to speak to Ameridan on a more personal level. Abelas seems to be more guarded with his emotions. Ameridan was simply brilliant and I regretted that he could not leave with us. Some time ago I did fly cam shots for an artist that needed up close and personal pictures of Amerdan that she could not get with the camera angle in game. You can find them under the spoiler tag.
It doesn't help that Amerdan and Abelas I believe had the same voice actor, Mathew Gravelle, but I can't confirm because Ameridan's is not listed on the wiki. If not the same va then very similar. A connection between the two characters is impossible to ignore for that fact alone, in my opinion. But it is more than that... Ameridan, I felt, was sorrowful, regretful, dutiful, loyal and had many of the same traits as Abelas. For me, it was like speaking to the Dalish version of Abelas or what Abelas might have been like if he had been a modern elf. Ameridan pulls at the emotions when he speaks of his companions as well. It mirrors the Inquisitor and makes the whole conversation feel very personal and I loved that. Ameridan was wonderful. 
I have an elven hareem in my head and I am not ashamed. There are so many characters that I love. Maedhros/Maitimo is my favorite of all time. My Maitimo muse and I came to an agreement a long time ago. I could go off and fall in love with other elves as long as I remembered that he was first and the best That makes Abelas my second favorite elf, but Abelas is okay with it. He gets plenty of love too.
Some Ameridan pictures below:
They do infact share a voice actor...

Edit: Majestic bastard. I like Ameridan but I don't make silly heart eyes at him like i do Abelas because I feel bad about his Telana. That never stopped me with Thane though so i don't know whats going on in my head lol...? He kind of made me love Abelas more, same voice means I can get a better feel for how he speaks, imagine him saying more than "you are not my people." etc. Totally would have brought them both back to skyhold.
I haven't played JoH yet but let's face it: Male elves are dreamy.
Well, at least for the people in this thread.
I'm fully aware that there are those who prefer a different type.
I'm taking a break this weekend but before I go I wanted to share something.
After Tielis's discussion yesterday I went away and had a long hard think about about Elvhen genitals. *snickers* At first I was like:
Then i was like:
Have a great weekend everyone!
Still waiting on boobless screenshots.
Have a great weekend Babelas.
Oh! Matthew Gravelle was on Broadchurch:
Maybe I should watch Broadchurch just because of him
He has an elfiness to him:
Though I try not to mix up the voice actors with the characters they play. Still, though my heart belongs to the Finns, the Welsh have such beautiful voices. 
Have a great weekend Babelas.

You do have an excellent point, Silent! Things were rocky! I just thought if his wife had not died he would have eventually set things right. I have a lot of faith in Thane I guess. He had what a decade(?) without her. Ameridan wakes up from a "little" nap, totally unaware of when things are and is still very much in love with Telana. (Edit:Not that Thane wasn't still crazy for Irikah! Irikah is awesome and important.He just had time to process. Where Ameridan didn't.)
Abelas is all mysterious and strong and sorrowful and surly. He has the potential to be anything and I think that's his big draw. Apart from the shiny lips and the powerful features, those eyes, the thighs..um...I don't need to list this..you get it...lol
Many thanks for all the kindness you've all lovely displayed toward my humble confession. 
And thanks to Bioware, for creating such special elves that always steal our hearts!
