Considering the dialogue that was released it can be safe to assume the cannon ending in trespasser of the inquisitor "I'll prove to you that you dont need to destroy this world" and his reply was "my friend id love nothing more to prove me wrong once again" then the dialogue of veilguard "ive taken steps to minimize the damage varick" clearly the inquisitor had a profound affect on solas (regardless if its cannon of it being a romanced female Elf or not.)

people are like 'he's so evil' but even if he HATES the inquisitor he still fixes their arm not to mention he said in trespasser disturbing the qunari invasion gave a few years of peace and people were like b what??? but he likely could have done this ritual at ANY time. he took so long to do it because he obviously held off until he HAD to and in my opinion aka until the prison of the evanuris was going to totally break which to him is a worse fate than random demons coming out (kind of like inquisition). like to me, those two evanuris who are now 'free' are both ten times worse than cory.

It's it just me or has something changed with Solas. His dialogue in the gameplay reveal talks about the Veil as a wound that must be healed. He also says he had taken precautions to minimize the damage. He talks like there is no better option. This isn't Solas in Trespasser who was going to destroy the world to remake it for the elves. It sounds like he might be trying to save the world.

To me it seems he's looking at the ancient world through rose tinted glasses, but even still.

Among many legends and myths that seems to have inspired Solas' story arch, I also believe he's following the trail of the stages of grief (Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance). Solas seems to actually be stuck somwhere between denial and bargaining where he is both refusing to believe his people are dead and gone, but also LITERALLY bargaining for their return by tearing the Veil down. That's why Solas plan has no place for modern elves, because it is driven by his grief of his own people, not modern elves. That also mean that if Solas lives on in the game and is freed from the Fade, he has the opportunity to go through the next stages of his journey: realizing the ancient elves are no more and that nothing can bring them back, sending him into a depression stage for who knows how long. And then later down the line accept the death of his people and move on. His empire is lost but not all is lost cause there's still life, and there's still a land, and there's still people. not the one he lost, but others that could welcome him.

You made another great video with more fabulous info, thank you. I've just started reading Tevinter Nights as you suggested and when I read the chapter "Callback". Seeing all the old NPC's in this chapter gave me a great thrill. Especially being back at Skyhold with Dagna, Cabot, Harritt and Sutherland with his crew made me really happy since as my Inquisitor I gave them the opportunity to become a big part of the inquisition and eventually Sutherland becoming a knight. It was so good to see them play a part and I hope a part of that chapter appears in Veilguard.

It sounds like its going got be either a parent/child or mentor/ apprenticed aka Darth Sloas the wise

“Solas and Rook made a boo boo.” I don’t know why but I adore this perspective. 😄

I have the exact sane questions about what this dynamic will mean interacting with other people, especially the Inquisitor and especially if its a romanced Inquisitor.

I never expected Solas to be 'evil'. I'm surprised he's far less involved than i expected, but I expected him to be someone who wasn't 'evil' for evil's sake. Always knew he'd be trying to do what he thought was right just was wrong about what that was. Granted, I'm thinking I won't bring in the Inquisiter I romanced him with for my first play through, probably going with the one who did not get along with him but gained a grudging respect during Trespasser. It's a more interesting dynamic to me. Also quick note, the betrayal has always come from the first mage who joins the party so far. I'm not counting Bethany because she's in your party right from the start and if your Hawke is a mage like mine she's already gone by the time you're recruiting allies. What im getting at here is I'll be side eyeing Neve especially.

Would also love that whole "what if you can betray your companions?" kind of thing, it'd make the relationships so much more impactful.

I hope BioWare will close the story of the Hero of Ferelden one day. They're not my favorite protagonist but their story was definitely left up in the air, and had big implications for the Grey Wardens.

So glad you saw that article! I read it last night and ... was sooooo jazzed! :-)

Thank you for covering all of this! I am so excited to see how you can develop a relationship with Solas in a different time as a different person and from such a different perspective. I cannot wait to see how the reunion between Solas and the Inquisitor goes

Wild theory on how solas' story could end: What if, depending on Rooks relationship with Solas, you could either choose to just leave him trapped in the fade if you antagonized him or if you reached an understanding with and persuaded him to alter course like Varric died(possibly?) trying to do. And the only way Solas could leave his fade prison was to sacrifice his magic. Meaning he would need to accept the current state of the world since there would be no way for him to actually bring about the destruction of the fade but does open up the possibility to reconnect with inquisitor. Lots of theories swirling in my head after the gameplay reveal.

"Solas and Rook made a Boo-Boo!!" Well, at least they didn't make a Yogi ... or a Yao Guai!! That would've been too much to bear!! Opps, wrong game franchise!!

This was such a great video! Now ik what the icons for the classes mean, we get extra dialogue with certain backgrounds. Time for my Lords of Fortune Slayer to make an entrance

Interesting

From Solass to Solwas to Solnice.

For me personally, I want my Levellan to be able to yell out her pain and grief at Solas through Rook. She searched for him for 9 years! And he went and got himself trapped in the Fade completely beyond her reach. In a sense he may as well be dead. I NEED to hear him say "Ir abelas ma'vehnan." He said he was sorry in trespasser for lying and misleading her, but I need him to be sorry for ever leaving her at all and for seeing the agony she is in knowing she may never see him again now that he is trapped.

Imagine they go the cyberpunk route and Solas can temporarily control Rook. Then Solas in rooks body continues the Levellan Romance... They did say that some of the romance scenes get weird and i cant think of a weirder yet still fitting romance of Solas using one protagonists body to fuck another

I feel that it is very unlikely but I still pray daily for more appearances from Magisters Sidereal. They have so many answers and with Razikale and Lusacan on the loose it feels necessary to me to have some input from them. I know we have already met two out of the seven, but I gotta say in both cases it was underwhelming, as Architect doesn't seem to care enough to remember anything pre-Darkspawn and Corypheus wasn't that keen on talking about anything but himself. Or maybe I spent three years running a Dragon Age TTRPG campaign that prominently featured Watchman and Augur and I can't get enough of them.

Damn, why someone speaking about Solas make me so damn vulnerable and emotionnal. Gosh.... Im biased and I dont want my inquisitor story with him to be "forgotten" but DAMN at the same time i just want to say Lets freaking destroy this world together my Egg :)

I feel like all these reveals is Bioware's form of damage control after the trailers and the crowd response. They probably think by revealing story info we're going to be more receptive when really we just want to see the character create screen😂😂😂. I've spent too many years with shoulder length bobs, topknots, pixie cuts and bald heads. Give me long hair that gets stuck in trees dammit!

On my first playthrough of Inquisition, I was never really fussed about Solas, but played it again recently, focused more on him, including the trespasser DLC and could see what the fuss is about. I can see why they changed the title though, because he's clearly not the main antagonist in this game

This is promising! I don’t want to get too excited/ahead of myself, but being able to help Solas restore the world of the Elves (and hopefully Dwarves) has been my dream since playing a Dalish/City/Mage Elf Origin in DA:O. I’ve tried to make the world better for Elves & Dwarves across the game series and I really want to be able to see it through in DA:VG.

I feel like they've spoiled too much already, all I'd like to see in the future is the character creator and maybe some mid game fights especially as a mage. The gameplay reveal trailer imo had more than enough story bits to get you into it. Also hoping for an early release for the character creator so on release I can just jump into game

Kind of reminds me of the relationship between your tav and the emperor in bg3 Also describing Morrigan as a traitor is sacrilege 😂

I’ve mentioned in other videos of yours; I am disappointed that my Hero of Ferelden is still missing. However, it appears this game is almost completely devoid of anything we have done in the past. Oh yeah, I get to see my Inquisitor, but a one-armed archer is hardly going to be useful. My relation with Solas is one of gently ignoring him. I guess it was too much to hope to either see my previous protagonists together or at least a Dragon’s Kept variant to weave my story in. Make no mistake; I plan on buying it, but reactions like yours will determine if it is a week one purchase or wait for a sale.

When you think about Bioware games and having traitors, remember in Knights of the Old Republic, you were Revan. You were potentially the bad guy. Also, if you played Jade empire correctly, you again could be the bad guy. It's been a while since BioWare made that kind of twist.

@cassandra9581

I was against it at first, but as long as Lavellan can sort of "complete" her romance with Solas (if you're continuing a romance from Inquisition) then I think Rook being able to romance Solas on a different playthrough would be kind of cool. I guess it depends on how it's handled. Solas had a good reason to not want to get involved in a relationship in Inquisition, but now that we know his plans and who he is, maybe he doesn't really need to "hide" any more and can be himself.

Where did your new video go? The title "When is Mass Effect 5 is supposed to come out?"

I made my Inquisitor vow to try and change Solas’ mind at the end of Trespasser, but I think it would be really interesting to play my Rook as more of a “stop Solas at all costs” kind of character. I wonder how it would play out in-game if Inky and Rook are diametrically opposed in that way, especially if Solas is tied to Rook now. I hope we get something similar to the V/Johnny Silverhand relationship in Cyberpunk, where you can go from hostile to slowly warming up to one another over the course of the game and understanding each other better

This sounds Very Bioware- very simular to NWN and you bond With Arabeth- but more like Reven and Bastila and Meetra and Kriea- note here that Bioware did write this part of Kotor 2 orginally and obsidian rolled with it.

I haven’t played any of the games but spoilers don’t bother me.

Solas and Rook, TAV and the Emperor, Johnny and V, starting to see a pattern.

I have mixed feelings about this connection with Solus. At the end of Trespasser, my cannon ending was trying so hard to redeem my friend but utterly defeated in my attempts to dissuade him. So, I joined the opposition, resolving instead to save the world as it is.

I really need to be wowed with some mage based gameplay as everything I've seen recently has just sapped my interest in one of my favourite game series.

I'm actually bothered that your not playing as the inquisitor in this game. It very clearly is an extremely direct continuation of that storyline from Trespasser and the base game, even all the characters involved are members of the inquisition mostly. Its not a new thing like with DAO to DA2 or DA2 to DAI.

@odst123451 Shrug true lol, those are the only things I remember. It seems like some people got bent out of shape, though if you romance her you can go with her

Wasn’t a fan of that answer about Rook “They chose to be a hero instead of chosen” as if our previous protagonists didn’t also choose that.

They didn't really. Each of the Heroes of Ferelden became Wardens out of necessity/desperation. Hawke was swept up in Kirkwall just by trying to live their life, and the Inquisitor had really bad luck and was saddled with a magical mark on their hand directly tied to the world-ending event happening at the moment.

It's pretty accurate.... the inquisitor had no idea what was going on to start with and was given the mark and basically thrust into this war whether he liked it or not as a "chosen one"

I think it’s fair to say that Hawke chose to be a hero.

You could say Hawke and maybe the Warden chose it but it was absolutely forced upon the Inquisitor which the game let's you lean into as well.

@@kalaelizabeth While yes they got the Anchor forced on them, all my Inquisitors still chose to help people. After all the whole reason they got it was because they heard someone asking for help and chose to help them. Many could have stayed out of it, even being given the option by Cassandra and Leliana, yet the Inquisitors didn’t but chose to stay.

So my impression was correct Solas will not necessarily be the baddie in this game. I don't see similarities with Cyberpunk Solas is real he has a history in the previous game and his rs with the protagonist is real he's not a construct in the protagonist mind that is killing him.

I feel like Solas being in a fade prison is fitting. There is not one character that needs a time out more than him. I'm not a solamancer. I don't necessarily hate him, but im 100% not going to fall on my sword for elvan glory, especially when it seems it was the elves all along.

At least Solas looks cool.

If I get to treat, rebuke, and call out Silas as Rook the same way I could treat, rebuke, and call out Johnny as V, that’ll be fun. Solas will wish he was dead. Just hope it’s not a case where even if we don’t like and disagree with him we’re still forced to do what he says. I despise Solas and don’t like how we’re stuck with him like this, and will hate it if we’re forced to be his lapdog.

I'm of a few minds with regards to a potential Solas romance. I think Lavellan was able to get to him in Inquisition because he let his guard down and was completely blindsided by the fact that he could even have friends in present-day Thedas, let alone a lover. After Inquisition, those walls were back up and he likely kept himself completely isolated, so by the time we meet him in Veilguard, he could likely be completely closed off to the idea of any new close relationships. Then again, this is him at possibly an even lower point than he was in Inquisition. Stuck in the fade, his plan completely backfired, etc. So he could maybe allow himself to open up further to Rook, even more than Lavellan since Rook knows exactly who he is. I think it would be a nice touch if this romance is only possible if he never had a relationship with Lavellan, thus giving players that didn't romance him the option, while allowing Solasmancers to get their reunion. Overall, I don't need it, especially since I'm coming from a Lavellan playthrough. I think a perfectly acceptable way to handle it would be, if you form a friendly relationship with him, you can have Rook suggest a romantic relationship, to which he would gently let them down and say something along the lines of "Maybe once, in the past, but not now" or something idk I'm not a writer lmao

YES! So glad WE get the option to help or hinder Solas, cuz ever since Trespasser, I have been on board to help him 1000%! Just hate we have to go in and stop him in the first place…

Johnny comes across as narcissistic and juvenile even if fun and insightful at times, Solas comes across as wise and mature even if he suggests hidden agendas as well being a smart ass at times.

I think I’ll try ro romance Bellarra it this one

I want to be able to get rid of Solas.

To me, Solas was always.. there. This contemplative & eccentric elf who is helping my Inquisitor. Tresspasser absolutely shocked me! I am fine with wherever they go with the story, I know it's going to be rich and engaging either way.

well it looks like im gonna have to buy a ps 5 to play this because my laptop cant take the stress....hahahaha

Bioware: You've already romanced Solas with a main protagonist Me: and I'll do it again!

I’m excited to see if the connection between Rook and Solas ‘can’ turn into something more. I always headcanon my OC with a character I like, and I know Solas was definitely a polarizing figure in DA:I (you either love him or hate him). For me, I love Solas. He’s an interesting character and there is still so much about his motivations that remain a mystery. I honestly can’t wait for Veilguard! 💜💚💜
