VOWS AND VENGEANCE SPOILER!

SOLAS I MISS YOU! I have to draw that scene, he just sounds so JEHDBCKJDSHBCJEHFBV!!!

[lavellaned]

In a previous post I mentioned that I heard Solas say this when my Lavellan got downed in battle and I managed to record it.

Anyways, this is what I was talking about when I found out that romanced companions can have different dialogue when Inky gets hurt.

[an-established-butt-dent]

I am not a god.

I am prideful, hotheaded and foolish -

- and I'm doing what I must.

When you report back to the Inquisitor,

say that I am sorry.

Audio is an excerpt from this video by Solas' voice actor.

Inspired by this post!

Alternatively, I thought about titling this “Solas’ snarkiest moments” or how about “Solas trying to cope with his situation by resorting to sarcasm”. lol

How Ianto's time machine in Disco sounds nearly exactly the same as when you close a rift tear in Dragon Age Inquisition

Okay so I'm giving @corseque 's super-important audio of all Solas' comments about the Blight a second (or fifteenth, whatever) listen and taking notes as I go.

Solas doesn't think for a second that once the archdemons are gone the Blight will be gone. Which really makes sense because it's the Blight that makes them an archdemon, not the other way around. Supposedly, they're blighted when the darkspawn reach and corrupt them. But of course that begs the question of why it's only darkspawn (and uh, honorary darkspawn like the Wardens) that hear their call. Anyway, the way he says it, it sounds more like the archdemons are a limiting factor than a driving factor.

Varric: "What's so confusing about endless darkspawn?" Solas: "A great deal!" So yeah, whatever the plan was, he didn't foresee darkspawn as a consequence. So did he not foresee them existing at all, or not foresee them being free to cause problems? Worth noting that it's really clear both in general and in Descent that dwarves as a whole were a huge blind spot for him.

He is really really surprised that the Western Approach ever recovered from the Blight. Pretty clear he didn't think that was possible.

He thinks that everything the Wardens have done up til now is a deeply misguided effort that's served (mostly accidentally) as a delaying tactic. Gotta say, with the information we have at hand, this point pairs about as well with the last as a nice dry red with spicy pickles. If the Wardens shouldn't have done what they've done, but he didn't think recovery from the Blight was possible, I'd love to hear what he thought the alternative was.

Same dialogue as above, but when Solas talks about stopping the Blight and when Blackwall and Varric talk about it, one gets the distinct impression that they're talking at cross purposes, because Varric and Blackwall are talking about the experience of Blights, as in, periodic events, whereas I think Solas is talking about THE Blight, that is, its true nature, which is yet untouched.

He thinks Erimond is dumb as shit, which is fair and valid. "That's madness! For all we know, killing the Old Gods could make things even worse!" he says. Well, he knows a lot more than "we" know, but it's entirely possible that he doesn't for sure know this. Increasingly clear that he thinks it, though.

I'd forgotten just how pissed off he was about the Grey Warden plan to kill the Old Gods before they were corrupted. It really doesn't give "hey you're killing my relatives" energy. It really gives "wow that would fuck us all" vibes.

Of course, with a side of my remembering that Solas' besetting flaw was always thinking people should know better even though they don't have access to the knowledge he has. That flaw I WILL grant. He displays it repeatedly--you could even say the writers went out of their way to make the point.

"The Blight is the real problem"

"The fools who first unleashed the Blight on this world thought they were unlocking ultimate power." Anyway yeah those are the absolute core of everything here. The Blight is the real problem and the Blight was deliberate. Deliberately made or deliberately freed.

Even during the events of Inquisition, Solas obviously sees Corypheus as secondary to the Blight as a danger.

Cassandra suggests that the archdemons were really just dragons--"Pets to those who no longer exist", by which she probably means the Old Gods, not specifically the gods of Elvhen, just because of her cultural background. Solas finds this suggestion amusingly wrong--a quiet snort, and "I would not go so far as that."

Last notes: he doesn't sound like he thinks the Blight can be stopped, and he's adamant that it can't be controlled. Which is presumably why he broke the world in an attempt to contain it, assuming I'm right that that was the underlying reason for the Veil. That it didn't quite work the way he'd hoped is also pretty evident, though I wanna be clear that I assume he was working from a place of desperation, and that not knowing every possible outcome of an action is not a condemnation of having taken it.

constantly going up to solas just to hear him say this in the softest voice

Felassan's notes section of this post -

In this episode of the Game Informer show, Game Informer talk some more about their trip to BioWare's studio for the DA:TV cover story, when BioWare showed them hours of DA:TV content while playing it live.

Some notes from this and from what they said:

Wesley LeBlanc wasn't a huge DA fan and he went in with no expectations. The job to go to BW for this just landed on his plate due to other peoples' schedules. After seeing the game, it's probably his most anticipated game for the rest of the year and the one he's most looking forwards to

The game really wowed him and stuck with him, he said he is thrilled about it and is engrossed in the fantasy it's bringing

The visuals and world finally feel like what BioWare has maybe always wanted to make

This is the game where the team said, yeah, we feel fully in command of the Frostbite engine, and it shows

The world is more like Fable-type whimsy than prior DA games. It has a high fantasy feel

BW want new people to play the game. They're very aware that it's been 10 years since the last game and the game does a good job of catching people up

Rook as the PC really has no idea what's going on with Solas and all the other lore-specific stuff that's happening in the game, so they kind of act as the stand-in for newer players or people who have not caught up on the lore

But it's not just a game for newcomers, there is still a lot to chew on in the game for hardcore DA fans. BioWare were saying that they know their community, what it wants and what it's looking for out of these characters

Wesley enjoyed the music, visual design, and voice acting

Nothing that they saw about the game stood out as worrisome to him

Wesley has quite a lot of further stories to add to Game Informer's DA:TV hub

Wesley: "On the topic of the [Dragon Age] fanbase, I just wanna give a shoutout to that community, because, wow, I did not, I knew people would be stoked about this cover, but people are really stoked about this cover. And it’s really funny, the day that we announced it, I got like hundreds of new followers. Anytime, if I tweet about Erdtree or Destiny 2, I get like my normal amount of likes, like, a dozen maybe, y’know, whatever. If I tweet about Dragon Age, it’s like. Today I tweeted, ‘my next feature is coming at 3pm’ and it’s at 1000 likes, it’s so funny, like, this community is like rabid for information, which makes sense if you haven’t gotten a game in 10 years. But yeah, so like, shoutout to y’all, I’m loving you guys reading the articles and telling me what you wanna hear about. So if you have any questions or anything, get at me on Twitter for sure, and I will see what I can cook up with some writing for you. But yeah, shoutout to the BioWare community, y’all crazy.”

I love how he's so aware of his many flaws and even specifically points them out to Charter at the end of Tevinter Nights, as if to say "Make sure to remember them (!!), yet when Varric points out how he keeps bringing up the Veil like 24/7, he's so oblivious. lol

I also want to scream every time I hear him say "I'll work on [my trust issues] :)". Like ..did you though? DID YOU THOUGH??

[nicecarito]

Amistades, solo para recordarles que Rooibos Lives son una recopilación de pequeñas historias de mis personajes en diferentes situaciones. No siguen en si una historia lineal. Lo lineal seria como la historia de fondo de cada personaje que los hacen lo que son (su personalidad,infancia,etc...)

Pero En si las historias son como oneshots de fanfics (igualmente los audios, los audios son historias en diferentes situaciones, por ejemplo "Amor agridulce" es una historia "El sustituto" es otra, no tienen nada que ver la una con la otra.

Expectativas de Amor, es al igual una de las muchas Mini historias de mis personajes. Un Oneshot donde Doppio y William están en una relación y tienen un problema como pareja. Mi objetivo es hacer una mini historia con un mensaje positivo sobre las relaciones sentimentales.

Que ya casi se acabe esa mini historia no significa que Todo Rooibos lives acabará. Eso nunca.

Tal vez Rooibos Lives sería mejor si fuese una sola historia lineal pero Para serles sincera, eso me limita mucho y prefiero la libertad de decidir y crear muchas historias que una sola.

Además es mejor para mi tomando en cuenta mi vida como adulta y todo lo que tengo que hacer.

Ojalá entiendan. Gracias x seguir mis historias y mi arte!

My tumblr following probably doesn't know this about me, but apart from audios my other hobby is finding and swimming with wild marine mammals. I have a particular affinity for sea lions and dolphins, both of which are gregarious animals with the ability to remember and even form bonds with humans. Here's one of my favorite photo sets I've ever taken.

Her name is Sola Rey! She's shy when it's dark out but loves socializing when the sun is bright. She likes coming up to me and giving me forehead "kisses". I had a head mounted GoPro on this time and the pictures were perfect. One of the ways sea lions communicate under water is by nuzzling their whiskers. They do this to communicate to other sea lions that nearby sea lions are not a threat to them. Does that mean she thinks I'm some kind of sea lion too? A mystery. Anyway I love her.
