I thought about ice cream flavours... "Taste Solas ice cream! The best since old Arlathan! With a hint of despair and a lot of dread. We also offer Abelas ice cream with the beautiful mix of elegance and sorrow!"
I don't think there are any "it" characters.
This isn't TMZ.
I have nothing constructive whatsoever to add to this conversation, but am I the only one who sees the title, and thinks, "Is he like strawberry? Or vanilla? Or..."
::ducks::
I thought the same then it turned into "What would a Solas flavoured ice cream taste like?".

Elven ice cream, eh? Now I want ice cream.

Yea and instead we get to keep the real god that turned his back on us because the tevinter didn't let his girlfriend win.
Yay.
Yeah we should keep the real God that turned against us twice.The False Gods shall be cast down.
Are you people talking ice cream because your elf is desperate and depressed after being dumped by Solas?

If they're comfort eating, at least it'll get some more meat on those skinny elven bones.
My Lallvan is having fun with cullen on his desk giggles after he dumped me.Are you people talking ice cream because your elf is desperate and depressed after being dumped by Solas?
You're just arguing semantics. If a being is able to forever "manipulate lifespans" by merely existing, then they're immortal. This isn't completely out of left field in the DA universe. Darkspawn are functionally immortal, because they get their sustenance from the Blight. The elves functioned the same way, only they got their sustenance from the Fade. This is why magic was like breathing for them. They didn't have to draw power from the Fade to cast spells, it was just with them.Elves never lived forever. You know why? Because they *dont* live forever. Beings that live forever dont STOP living forever. Its kind of covered by that "forever" bit.
I dont doubt they were adapt at manipulating their lifespans through magic, but the idea that they were "tainted" by humans is probably part in parcel as to why they got their asses whupped into submission (by whom exactly is up for historical debate).
It's not about flattering or not, it's that there is historical truths which can be established about elves which are echoed in legend. Inquisition moved us several steps forward in what we can say is established versus what is just legend. A lot of that new history isn't flattering, so I'm not sure why you're choosing this other stuff as your sticking points. Denying that a lot of magical technology comes from elves or that they once had a kind of immortality just makes you look biased.Look, i dont know how much clearer i can make this point but if you failed to pick up on the fact that a lot of dragon age involves coming to your own conclusions in how the writing is done, then thats your issue not mine. I for one however have a less flattering view of elves.
Oh and that part about spirits and gods? Spirits arent viewed as creators. The elven gods are, to the elves at least. I view that as an outright falsehood. Just like with the maker.
I love how literally everyone in this thread is speaking, as if they actually know anything, with their theories as absolute truths.

I don't wanna hear that from you, my dude.
I only speak in truths. This stuff about elves feeding on the Fade, never being immortal or not, all that's theory. Something we'll probably ever get the answer to.

Yeah, I remember claiming it wasn't valid because it was theory. Oh wait, I didn't do that.
We know that abominations don't get old and die of natural causes. Elves in Uthenera drew entirely on the Fade for sustenance. That shows the method. Before the Veil existed, even that medium step wouldn't have been necessary.
We actually don't know any of that. Especially the bit about abominations, Flemeth definitely ages and she is no base abomination, and the rest is theory.
We have hints that not just elves but everything once had magic, which means they were suffused with the power that now only exists in the Fade and small remnants of the beyond.
Sounds like a theory to me, and not one that leads to any conclusion besides, "We probably had magical powers once."
Gravity's not just a suggestion. It's the LAW.

And for this fictional universe, elves having been superior to humans is the law to the plot, and has been reinforced in the story continuously. Not to mention confirmed by someone actually there. Solas.
Done.

In universe, elven genes bow to the might of human gametes. There goes that law.

If this is your way of deflecting the topic and offering your surrender, then I accept it, lol.
Only way people can deny elves were immortal is if they go LALALA to what Solas says. There's zero reason to doubt his words. I see no reason for people to deny it.
Player Characters are the true master race in Thedas.
And wtf, Flemeth isn't an abomination. She's also much weaker than what she was and not the rule.

1. I never said elves weren't immortal, they obviously were, or at least some of them.
2. The point is you or anyone else saying, "You're wrong, because this definitely is true," is fallacious.

A powerful being from the Fade bonded with a mortal women? Abomination. No matter how powerful. She may not be the normal type from demons, but she is one. And she ages.
