yes i’m a solavellan through and through but i’m also absolutely obsessed with the solas/rook dynamic in a worst ending/everyone dies scenario actually.

interesting that his best case scenario (in the case of a romanced inquisitor) involves walking off into the fade prison with lavellan, and the worst case scenario involves both him and rook being violently pulled into the fade prison together. idk what it means but it’s soo interesting. to me

#i have some Thoughts but the mechanics of the fade prison were. vague and hand-wavey #much like the rest of the game oops #but basically. rook has the tools to escape the fade prison (mastery over their ‘regrets’ and/or the lyrium dagger)#so they will either be grappling with solas for all eternity or he hunts them for all eternity to try and escape #(interesting to me if it’s the latter- he truly becomes He Who Hunts Alone)#bc he has not chosen to atone he only wants to escape. basically on this path he’s been pushed towards his ‘corrupted’ self in a way #while the opposite is true if he does go willingly. he chooses to atone (alone or with the inquisitor)#on this route he presumably will be able to slowly heal and return to something closer to his original form of wisdom #either way it sounds like something out of a dalish folk tale for sure. the former a cautionary tale and the latter more a fairytale #idk if this is anything. maybe this is nonsense #but i like turning the dynamic over in my head #shut up kat
