This video is kind of all over the place. I am new to making KZfaq videos so I am working on figuring out the flow. Thank you for watching, and enjoy my ramblings!
Everything here is just fun speculation, NOT facts. If you don't like Solas, that's fine, but please don't ruin the fun for those of us who do like him ♡

Personally, I'm rooting for Rook being the adopted child of solavellan, doing some parent trap shenanigans. Oh, also I'm p sure there was a choice board/sheet one of the developers showed (can't remember which) concerning the well of sorrows choice. It involved Solas controlling the well-drinker to kill Flemeth... Or something like that, but it was scrapped because it was a bit much for post-plot/game content. So, it's definitely something that was considered in the writing room at some point.

My canon inquisitor (Vhenan Lavellan) is an elf mage that romanced Solas... Although I did try to join Solas at the end of Trespasser, I eventually chose to "stop Solas, even if it means killing him" after being denied because I don't think we can talk him out of it. The way he plans to bring about the restoration of the ancient world seemed monstrous... But almost 10 years removed from that decision, I've changed and I'm hoping my Rook will be able to side with Solas... Bring down the veil!... The drama of the conflict between my Inquisitor, Solas & Rook if this is the case would be magnificent... I'm imagining a scenario where Solas' plan is about to come to fruition, with my inquisitor then appearing to Solas, with her seeming to accept what's about to happen to Thedas, with them both embracing with a kiss... For my inquisitor to suddenly stab or petrify Solas (or them both) to stone in this tender, loving & vulnerable moment... Killing the man she loves, to stop him and save the world... Thus my Trespasser choice of stopping Solas, even if it means killing him, comes full circle... These are the theatrics my DA world thrives on and it'll make a great novel for Varric (if he doesn't die in Veilguard) to write a sequel to his critically acclaimed inquisition novel, All this shit is weird... I'm thinking his sequel novel will be titled: 'All this shit is still weird' or 'All this shit is weirder'.

@@carntmax8952 Thanks! It works so well because it's as if Solas is calling her by her name in conversation (e.g. "I cannot do that to you, Vhenan" - Solas, Trespasser). Which is probably why you also chose Amatus for your Dorian romanced inquisitor.

Ideally, we'll be given a wide range of options about dealing with Solas for both our Inquisitor and our Rook. That's what I am hoping for. Personally I have multiple Inquisitors and there is a range of feelings about him. I want to play them all. That ranges from hoping for happily ever after for my Solavellan to one of my Inquisitors killing him.

From everything that has been revealed so far, the devs speak in a way where they have considered every avenue about how to handle Solas, while the title change reflects the focus on Rook and the Companions, Solas is integral to the story, and to not follow up with his relationship with the Inquisitor, be it friend, foe or lover, would be a waste of a good story as well as a disservice to the characters and players. The inclusion of customizing the Inquisitor and World State in-game gives me a lot of hope that we Solamancers and even the Solas haters will, at the very least, get a cathartic conclusion.

I'm pretty sure BioWare will not make the same choices I would. My Lavellan loves him, but she'll stop him regardless. I hope they won't make it a case of either "Love and unconditional acceptance" or "Die, I hate you" kind of choices. However, they failed to offer me a satisfying choice with Anders (I wanted to spare his life, have him help me fight and then tell him to leave and make sure I never see him again, because he screwed up my plans and endangered my sister), so I don't expect a satisfying choice for a third party Lavellan

I want the bad ending (if solas goes through with tearing down the veil) to be Lavellan having a tragic death. I want all the angst. Fall down a cliff kinda death idk cause of her guilt of failing But I also want a dream sequence since it’s stated that he watches her afar from her dreams and they have that connection. It should be a glance at what life could’ve been like if he decided to abandon his plans for her. Like that scene in Bojack Horseman where he dreamt about living on a ranch happily married with a kid. I want that kinda scenario. And it to end with Lavellan saying something similar about “how happy they could’ve been if he chose this life” cuts to her bleeding out next to him in the dream and SHE snaps him awake 🙏🔥

I didn’t romance him but I wish we have the choice to go through with what he had planned. Ripping down the veil is the best thing for the world, sure some people will die but the veil isn’t natural and the world needs to go back to its natural state.

Dream scenario: Rook gets advised by Varric to track down the inquisitor, as they know Solas well. The inquisitor can then help influence Solas (like convincing him that the veil should not be taken down), and the efficiency of that depending on how strong the bond was between them. And hopefully an option for a happy ever after for a solevellan. Actual expectations? Eh, I don't know... I try not to expect anything. Cameos have been very lackluster in the past anyway.

Even if I can make a decision for my Inquisitor at the beginning, that doesn't mean I won't change it during the game. It could be that the actions of Solas in DAV would make me say, I'll kill you for the good of all. Or I don't want to be with you anymore. But then that would no longer be possible, because I've already decided how I feel about Solas at the start of the game. Maybe one possibility would be that you could play the Inquisitor yourself at some point in the story...

If they make a painting or something for Lavellan, I think it could be interesting to see it play into the Dreadwolf theme and have Lavellan represented as either another wolf (of alternate color) or perhaps another animal like a fox. I really liked your halla idea and I could totally see that being a good option :D

I seriously doubt we'll be able to make choices from Inky's perspective during the actual gameplay but I think we might (hopefully) get to make some choices during cc, like what their thoughts are on Solas and so on. And depending on those choices the Inquisitor will act a bit differently. I think that would be a good compromise.

If you have a video on this, I apologize for my ignorance--I've only just found your channel. But have you put into words what about the character of Solas appeals to you? I've struggled to understand the appeal, but I very much want to. I suspect seeing him as an elvhen inquisitor is crucial to understanding, but my interactions with Solas through all other playthroughs never gave me the encouragement to devote a run of that monumental game to seeing the romance. Either way, I hope DAVG gives you everything you want with Solas, and I mean no ill will in any way. Just a genuine curiosity. Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for checking out my videos! I haven't talked about that yet. I have always been someone who has loved elves, so Solas' character appealed to me off the bat. But as for a deeper appeal? I could list lots of things, but to keep it short I would say that he is incredibly charming in a romantic context, and his romance honestly makes me feel so much more important to the story, because of how important Lavellan is to him. I think to truly understand you need to play it yourself. Thanks for asking me : )

What if a romanced Lavellan who drank from the well, become Immortal like Flemmeth by absorbing whatever was put in that eluvian in the mid credits? Then, 2 endings could happen where the evanuris are defeated and Solavellan stand together as the new "elvhen gods". Or the Evanuris defeated, Lavellan becomes Immortal and either the veil is taken down or restored, Solas condemns himself to the Fade as repentance and Lavellan stays with him. What do y'all think?

Me, a tragedy enjoyer, kinda want either A) Lavellan to die to save Solas in a spur of a moment decision ( a la jumping in front of a bullet) or B) lavellan to be dying because of the anchors effects and dies in his arms so we can get a big angsty Solas reaction.

As you will see, I'm not a Solas fan. Let's see. If Lavellin drank from the well, and Solas took part of Mythal's essence into him (from the last scene in Inquisition), then Solas can control Lavellin. Also, if Solas is one of those powerful ancient Elven sorcerers. doesn't that make him the one Evanuris that got away. Like the others, he probably doesn't consider himself to be evil, but he actually contributed more death and subjugation to the Elven people than any of the others. Actually, since Solas and Rook are supposedly connected, if I have to spend the game pandering to Solas, then ...

I don't see a happy ending for them and I'm fine with it. Give me that delicious trade mark Sollavelan tragedy they known and loved for 😈 More drama for gods of drama! Also, I really hope Inky is not Hawke type cameo NPC, but huge prominent part of the narrative, preferably second protagonist, like Ellie to Joel in TLAOU. Otherwise it would be such a wasted opportunity. Even without romance every Inquisitor have complicated unresolved relationship with Solas, it's a crime to leave it unexplored.
