Solas & Lavellan about the elves | Dragon Age: Inquisition

[@VGirl]

"Unless I collapse the Veil so I can casually reshape reality" ... O_o. Solas, h-have you done that before?

[@sandrols7]

"... no?"

[@storytellingchampion6438]

The foreshadowing in this game is great

[@Bearprints0]

Oh? IS THAT YOUR PLAN SOLAS?

[@MaryDunford]

I laughed so hard at this. This is why I ❤ the writing. It's so spot on! If you want to uncover someone's real motives make them mad. It works every time. 😂

[@the_flaming_tree_troll9380]

Yes, yes he has

[@ShadowCandleElias]

i love when lavellan shouts in elven.

[@subject6907]

inquisitior: "no hard feelings?" solas: "fuck you."

[@cyanAstrologist]

"My people" "Your people" "Our people" "Not people" You mean ELVES

[@manofwarb]

Sounds like a boot camp running cadence!!!

[@BastardCinema]

What's the matter, allergic to Halla?.

[@nicodifictional540]

Solas just called him da'len? That means "little one", and if you've played as Lavellan you notice that the keepers of Dalish clans refer to the Inquisitor that way (I assume it's something they use for younger elves). By all appearances you'd expect that Lavellan and Solas are close enough in age that neither can use that word for the other so that sounds a bit like a hint at Solas' true age

[@PurpleHazePro]

It's just formalities, really.

[@darylmcmexican539]

Solas is probably older. To start, the inquisitor called him hahren. He also called the elf on the measuring the veil mission da'len.

[@dubbzy92]

He's physically closer to Blackwall's age, which is probably 40s

[@nelson_rebel3907]

Oh no yall have no idea do you 😂😂

[@garycannon4644]

@@nelson_rebel3907 no I don't think they do lol

[@artorius4809]

4:45 oh shit the foreshadowing for dayz

[@captainsh0ts425]

Bruh I hope Solas succeeds at tearing down the veil just so he gets his cheeks clapped by his own people cuz if he thinks they just gonna forgive him I think he’s got another thing coming 😂

[@P3891]

not to mention the evanuris trapped in the fade, I am sure they would love to have a few words with him

[@TheRandomMuffinMan]

@@P3891 He did mention he had plans for them. If he succeeds I hope they're good plans for his sake.

[@silverknight6684]

@@TheRandomMuffinMan Plans fail

[@TheRandomMuffinMan]

@@silverknight6684 I never said they don’t. Honestly I think Solas plans on sacrificing himself to open the veil and deal with the others.

[@kyleparker557]

That flap on the front of Solas's shirt flying in the wind is so distracting.

[@s2mademoiselle]

Always

[@butitwasmedio]

And ever

[@bunniewood]

In a good way 🤤

[@bunniewood]

4:08 Woah. Omg I can’t believe the inquisitor says this to the very person who is willing to change the world and die for the elves.

[@madarpauser2133]

I understand the hostility toward Solas by the Dalish. Imagine your whole culture being nearly erased, and your people subjected to centuries of oppression. So some egghead can lecture you about how everything you believe in is wrong, and how you should live your life. Would you want to hear those lectures, or would you tell him to leave you alone?

[@themoonlitquill]

Nevermind that it was that same egghead who caused the destruction of the Elves to begin with! Solas has some nerve mocking the Dalish for even trying to cling to an ancestry lost because of HIM!

[@akchilov]

perhaps it is one of the reason why he is dreadwolf then.

[@gravytrainn]

4:45 HO DONT DO IT

[@RainWelsh]

It’s like that conversation where he asks you what you’d do if you suddenly found yourself in a fucked up world, and you can answer with something like “I’d just do WHATEVER I HAD TO to fix it.” And he’s like “slammin, thanks for the reminder that the ends justify the means, friend! ☺️” And then you replay it after Trespasser and just sit there feeling ✨concerned✨

[@Muircetach]

That's a Lavellan? Looks and sounds like a Trevelyan in almost every way.

[@afgusti4269]

Why did bioware wrote a DALISH Inquisitor to be so ignorant about their own culture is beyond me, and even worse if you play as a mage given how you are the first of your clan

[@IrisGlowingBlue]

Right? "wHo's mYthAL"

[@TheRandomMuffinMan]

@@IrisGlowingBlue I think that's mainly for person behind the controller incase they don't know.

[@IrisGlowingBlue]

@@TheRandomMuffinMan Totally! I just think it could've been handled better with a Dalish inquisitor if, like, someone else in the group asked and Inky answered them. Instead of Morrigan explaining Mythal to someone who's been following Mythal (among others) their whole life & might literally have her signs tattooed on their face

[@antonioscafuri756]

One word: Lazyness

[@gzapray7203]

IKR. I'm really confused when I played What Pride Had Wrought with my Dalish Elf Inquisitor yesterday. In general, Dalish Inquisitors should have known the elven pantheon. If Bioware gives us the choice to choose four races, they should have been considerate to the lore to be applied to the MC's background. I'm kind of disappointed at Bioware at that.

[@TheSomethingWarcraft]

I disliked Solas primarily for how preachy and condescending he was ALL the time

[@Slowpoke3x]

he only does that to twats who think swinging their big dicks around will solve all their problems and to those who are content or reluctant to change a deplorable situation especially when they are empowered to do so.

[@afgusti4269]

@@Slowpoke3x he does it to anyone. I like Solas CHARACTER but he is a prick

[@lg-bj8gh]

@@Slowpoke3x Also if he doesn't feel like you don't know "enough."

[@gzapray7203]

He's prideful, after all.

[@RoseyCakess]

​@@lg-bj8gh i understand what you mean, but Solas means well, he gets excited to teach you or anyone else he likes, yes he can be snobby with his knowledge towards those he doesn't like, but this is part of his personality and secrecy about him being the Fen'harel, if you knew a lot you'd want others to teach too don't you? especially those you like, sharing your interests and pov

[@Epsilonyx]

I've seen that second conversation before... except that the Inquisitor doesn't speak in elven. How exactly does that conversation trigger?

[@CeaseEcho]

+Epsilonyx I would like to know too. It might be a low approval conversation?

[@ADenson561]

4:45 !!!!!!

[@JasmineGeminiDragon]

oh man! That is sooo cool! I love that you are a Dalish Elf Archer.... You look great as an elf! Oh man.... look at you go! Oh! OH! Who are you romancing then as an elf? (cough~ Dorian~ cough....) I love the elf version of Inquisitor, especially as an archer. You got me addicted to your video! Like chocolate! WOOO! Look, such a cute elf.

[@revancousland2524]

When can u speak Dalish at 3:00

[@OwlsAreAmazing]

I've never heard this conversation! How do you get this to trigger?

[@sheevpalpatine2989]

I wish lavellan’s voice was solas’s voice actor 😭

[@Valyrianalien]

What really? Why? I have never seen people do anything but swoon over Solas's voice and complain about the British male va lol.

[@sheevpalpatine2989]

@@Valyrianalien thats what i mean. I love Solas’s voice but i dont like the male lavellan’s voice

[@Valyrianalien]

@@sheevpalpatine2989 aaah it's the other way around got it! I do agree, especially because he just sounds way too RP for a Dalish elf. And that's the only species where it's really hard to make a face that wouldn't be jarring with the american voice (though I dislike that voice one more than the british so that wouldn't help me anyway). But I kinda think Gareth would be wasted on the inquisitor haha. With a properly developed character like the companions the VAs can have characterisation in every single line, and Solas is pretty much made by those little things imo. But you have to leave the Inquisitors at least a bit ambiguous. Must be pretty annoying for the VAs tbh. For example, I love Alix Wilton Regan's performance as much as the next person, but I had to alter the personality of my canon inquisitor to fit it. I'm totally invested in her now but I still feel salty about that. By contrast my male inquisitors are usually fine with the british male. (Well I haven't done an aggressive jerk so that would probably be the end of that versatility, but still.) I have just started a naive andrastian vasoth and having a gentle giant with that voice is very entertaining.
