You misunderstood, none of that is tied to romance.

It is if Cassandra's the main thing you care about For me:

 

"No Cassandra, no Inquisition, no game."

 

Really, the biggest point for being an elf is more relevance to the elvish stuff later as the player. Humans get that elsewhere for pretty much everything else actually going on with the plot of the story.

 

There's not that much bonus content there in the Solas side, he simply tells you some elvish stuff you wouldn't have heard playing the game otherwise. There's barely a difference between the two as far as their merits are concerned.

 

This game's too easy as it is for me to give a dang about racial abilities and such, so no comment there. Beyond the extra skillpoint is nice, lol.

Its indeed subjective, but the extra content given is not. For example Morrigan and Alistair had more content based on their romance in DAO, Anders is the same in DA2. Solas is that person in DA:I. But no the quality of romance itself completely depends on player tastes and choices.

So i've heard , im going to watch his romance arc on youtube later on, i always assumed it was only that scene about the tattoos not representing what the dalish believed they did that was extra if there is more then im definitely checking it out.

A human mage for me. When a giant tear in the sky appears, it just seems to me that it's really a mage who's probably best equipped for dealing with such things.

It's just low level medium armor. Neutral for any class.

 

The game was written as human only until the last stretch. 

 

Yes I've read about it too, and the gear might be there just so they don't get into the trouble to make additional one ... or maybe to keep their options open since they ended up including other races as well., or it might even mean that the original human noble back story was different.

 

I just find it an interesting coincidence perhaps that it is called "Mercenary Coat" it's the only gear with such name everything else is more or less indicate the class they are meant for.

Mage Trevelyan is at the Conclave no matter what. The other backgrounds are there by circumstance. Mage Trevelyan also meshes well with Morrigan's prophecy at the end of Witch Hunt.

Hmm touche my friend... I can't argue with anything said by morrigan

Well Its typical for humans to be that way, its not like I was denying that.

 

Elves have a lot of unique stuff in DA:I. For example making the life of elves better which includes elves becoming nobles, alienages going away etc... can only be done by an elf Inquisitor who puts Briala on the throne as "shadow empress". The relationship between Briala and the Inquisitor and Inquisition keeps the stability but if you are not an elf nobles will rebel and elves will never get these changes. Its very significant.

 

Then there are events of Eluvians, elven gods being real, Mythal helping you to defeat Corypheus etc... I mean lets just take look at major events that elven gods have done so far.

 

Saving the warden at DAO

Saving Hawke at DA2

Solas Salves the Inquisitor from dying due to mark

Solas saves the Inquisition itself by leading it to skyhold

The aid of mythal is necessary to defeat Corypheus

 

Its as if they are pulling the strings and the fate of the world is decided by them.

I did the 2H warrior the first time. Seemed appropriate but I am going to try mage next. I liked rogues when they could dual wield two swords, without that I am not into them. Wish they could make dual wield warrior.

I don't go for helping the elves in the city anyway, so that's nothing to me.

 

Elven gods being in the story, also inconsequential, when the old gods are technically elven and involved with humans, which just goes to show, that these are just spirits. The elven part comes from the names they adopted from the people that worshiped them.

 

In other words, not being an elf doesn't make Mythal helping me fight the tevinter old god worshiper any less cool, to me.

[Colonelkillabee]

And the Maker is pulling all of their strings. 

 

You were exactly what we needed when we needed it.

 

 

Out of those two elven gods, it's funny that they're both open to the idea of the Maker (even Flemeth is, when explaining archdemons to the Warden).

These two also.

[Colonelkillabee]

It's like I said before. If I screwed up as much as Solas did and people looked to me as a god, I'd be scared shitless and would want to believe in the maker as well. Same for Mythal who was "murdered", and also barely survived a new warden recruit's blade.

 

If you ask me, finding out my elven gods are open to the possibility of the maker would be incredibly disheartening.

[Kinsz]

Flemeth is part human , so do we get to claim half of her ?

[Lulupab]

And the Maker is pulling all of their strings. 

 

You were exactly what we needed when we needed it.

 

The maker can be connected to anything and you are misusing this fact. Yet you cannot give one single sign that the maker exist without asking for a leap of faith. Even if the maker exists he is ignoring all humanity as its explicitly said in the chant. His first creations think Thedas has no hope anyhow.

Understandable, but you can see how it can be very cool to others. Championing the cause of mythal, the goddess of Justice to restore peace to the world and defeating Corypheus who is misusing ancient elven magic.

 

Also old gods being related to elven gods is still an unproven theory. Flemeth and Solas refer to elves as "the people" and Flemeth has a unique dialogue with elven Inquisitor in which she says Mythal was one of the people, she was an elf before being any god and she kept her elven form for many decades.

[Colonelkillabee]

LOL exactly. "Elven" indeed. Her being a dragon and Tevinter worshiping dragons also makes you go "Hmm". They worshiped the old gods of course, but you get the point. Spirits are spirits. Trying to claim them with mortal labels is like trying to claim the sun or the moon because you made some bullshit stories about them first.

[Lulupab]

What if the spirits we see might be Hope? In which case, something changed...

 

Which are you talking about?

 

This is relevant, statue of how mythal looked like.

 

[Lulupab]

THE ELVHEN GODS CONCEDED THAT THE MAKER CAN EXIST AND HE TOTALLY PWNS THEIR ASSES. 

 

Habla Ingles? 

 

Oh and Mother Giselle said that the Chant is sung by men who aren't infallible and has been changed for politics. The Chant of Light in the Dragon Age is not the same Chant of Light that Andraste sang or even the Chant of Light from the Divine Age.

 

You are making your own version of it. Solas merely recognizes the idea of maker, a god that is responsible for creation and doesn't want any attention. He sees this through himself, an elven god who never wanted any attention or worshiping.

 

So let me guess, you know this chant? Again leap of faith.

[Colonelkillabee]

Oh yea sure I get why it's cool. But people put more importance to it than it deserves.

 

As for it being an unproven theory, like I said to someone before in the "Females everywhere" thread, so is gravity. The star puzzles are all but yelling at the top of their lungs "OLD GODS ARE ELVEN! OLD GODS ARE ELVEN, READ ALL ABOUT IT!"

 

lol seriously though, it just makes too much sense. Especially with the elven text we find after dipping into the pool:
