tentative judgement: obviously we're not yet done, and what happened could be part of his plan, but honestly this "villains are stupid" plot is getting kinda tiring. the writing for Corypheus was criticized because he was incompetent after Haven, and now they seem to be going for the same route with Solas. which is puzzling because Solas in the book and comics is actually competent. :/ makes me wonder about the writing for the 2 Evanuris

[@Deadpliff]

"Among other things, I know you well" says Solas to Elio. It makes me think that Solas was the one who orchestrated this whole mess, starting from the proposal. Solas is a dreamer, which means that he can consciously enter peoples dreams, like Increption. My theory is he "Incepted" the idea to Elio in a dream to propose to Nadia, because he knew it would push her away. Then she would return to her old life, where she, suddely, had a contract waiting for her, to steal the relic connected to Elio. Then Solas somehow manipulates Neve to let Elio know about the robbery, so that he would intervene, while also leaking the robbery to the templars, which causes Elio to lose status. And then Solas meets them both, gives Elio a new purouse, and he volunterily helps Solas do some ritual, which can only be performed by a descendant of Andante, the maker of the relic, as Solas said himself. Or maybe I'm just digging too deep, who knows, we'll see. Edit: Peoples minds -> Peoples dreams, ancestor of Andante -> descendant of Andante

[@FleursEnEclats]

i think you are right!

[@Sharie_mabari]

Good theory, you're probably right!

You know who Solas is, right? If you don't remember the other name he goes by, then go back and play the 3rd game again. ;)

[@AdamtheRLSilent]

Color me pleasantly surprised but this is actually amazing. I wish we had basic character art tho so I can better envision what these characters look like. I know there’s a voice actor’s strike going on or so I heard and it needs to be said talent like this, the ability to draw so much emotion from the characters and audience alike, is something that can’t be fabricated or under appreciated. Voice actors and actresses are just important to the storytelling process as much as it’s writers and they need to be paid and rewarded for their efforts accordingly. In conclusion, I loved every bit of this. Not having any kind of animation behind it really puts the voice acting forward and I can’t wait to hear more.

Yeah I hope we'll get some good art, it'll help visualize them! Also completely agreed about the voice acting, it's so well done!
