First off, I know they are all sequels to each other. But only in the sense that they take place in the same world and the events follow on from past events. Please make DA4 an actual, true sequel where we continue to play as the Inquisitor.

  I played as a female elf and romanced Solas and (yes, you can all see where this is going) I want, no NEED, to be able to reunite with him as my character. Not some random new person who has had nothing to do with him. The end of the Trespasser DLC made it sound like it will be this way, but I'm scared that it won't be. I'm legitimately scared. I need closure. Until DAI, the romances where always just a nice side thing you could do, but Solas changed that for me. That romance is the most important thing to me and if I find out that you made me fall in love with him and then not be able to be with him I may actually kill myself.

  For the record, I am not joking. I have BPD and games are the most important thing in my life. I really don't have anything else. When I played Mass Effect 3 for the first time I cried for two hours and I cut myself because I was so upset at how bad it ended. I know a lot of bullies and trolls will make fun of me for this, but I just needed to get this out. I have been worrying about this since I first finished the game and will be worrying about it right up until we find out what DA4 will be.

  But please, I am begging you, please let me play as my Inquisitor and be with Solas. You can't leave it the way DAI ended.

I'm sorry to hear about your illness. That must be very hard to deal with.

 

But DA4 will not star the Inquisitor for a variety of reasons, and in all likelihood, Solas is going to die, either by our hand or his own actions. You need to start preparing yourself for this outcome.

Oh ok, so I'll just kill myself now then. Thanks for the information. This has made my decision easier.

 

I probably don't mean that, but I'm going to go cry for a few months now.

Instead of harming yourself, why don't you:

1) Seek therapy and medication to help with your disorder, if you haven't already. There are a ton of resources to help you both online and potentially offline, depending on where you live.
2) Make a female human Inquisitor and romance Cullen. So long as you keep him off lyrium, he's a very comforting, loving, drama-free LI.

Above all else, please keep in mind this is just a video game.

I'll try, thank you for being nice to me.

Sandalsocks, it's going to be okay.
 

The Solasmance was hell, I know... But for what it's worth, I don't think Solas would want you to kill yourself. Patrick Weekes took over as lead writer for the series, and I trust him to write a beautiful and perfect ending to the Solas story. He has said in interviews he's a fan of hopeful and happy endings, wherever possible. Even Loghain can be redeeemed. However it turns out for Solas and Lavellan, it will be worth sticking around for, I'm sure. Stay strong. DA:I is amazing, and engrossing (so is Solas) but so are other things in life. I believe you will be okay. You just need to believe it too. 

Writing and reading fanfics can help, too. If in doubt, just write the Solas ending you believe in yourself, and make that your new reality. Your mind is the real Fade, and no one can take that from you. I wish you well.

I'm hopeful there is still a chance we get to play Inquisitor in DA4. Maybe she is not the main character, but I could see there being segments of the game where we play as Inky and make some decisions that affect the story and possibly our new hero. And I agree I want Inquisitor to be the one to confront Solas in the final battle (if she is still alive, that is). They can't do what they did with Hawke. He only had three personalities and was always a Bioware character (like Shep), but Inquisitor is different. But we will see what happens. I can only hope it doesn't end up being a great disappointed, but Trespasser certainly gave me hope (love that DLC!)

 

Inquisitor herself promised to stop Solas (or save him from himself, if possible). I hope that promise is respected.

Thank you so much for your kind words Draconaise and Inkvisiittori. And I am actually writing my own fan fiction about Solas and Inky. I like to write, so it's a calming exercise to write about them. It's hard, but you're right. My own head cannon, everybody's, is more important than what they end up writing. But I am more hopeful after reading what you said about Patrick Weekes. Thanks for taking the time to reply, I feel much better now

Good luck with the fic writing!!

I'm also a die-hard Solavellan fan, so you can trust that I'm very invested in this romance too when I say this:

 

If the Inquisitor isn't the protagonist next game, the odds are good they'll be a major NPC to help out with Solas similar to Hawke for Corypheus in DAI, or a co-protagonist since the devs have expressed interest in doing something like that.

 

If not, like others have said, Patrick Weekes is the writer for Solas, and it's clear from interviews that he adores this character, and very emotionally invested in this romance. He also took over as lead writer of the Dragon Age franchise when David Gaider bowed out to work on another Intellectual Property, so we're almost guaranteed a... well, a satisfying conclusion to the romance that brings closure, even if it's not a happy ending filled with butterflies and rainbows. (I'd sooner the happy ending, but oh well.)

After hearing all this about Patrick Weekes, re-reading through The Masked Empire and reading all these posts from like minded people, I am starting to feel more hopeful about all this. I was initially worried about opening up about this (which is why it's taken me this long to talk about it after Trespasser has been out), but now that I have I couldn't be happier. Because now, even if worse comes to worst in DA4, I know there is a community that cares about this. A community that I can talk to and not be judged. It will still hurt, of course, but less so because I know I'm not the only one. I want to thank everyone that replied to my post. Sincerely. The responses were unexpected, but greatly appreciated
