When I first saw this years ago, I had to stop myself watching it over and over. It's so beautiful and heart-breaking. The audio edits into the melody is incredible.
I swear by the Maker, Creators, and every other deity in the Dragon Age universe, if I cannot save that damn wolf from himself and give him and my Lavellan a happy ending, I'll let Thedas burn.
Teresa Cowlabunga Thank you! First, nuke Tevinter off the planet, then find Solas. If my Lavellan can't somehow save and be with him, let the whole of Thedas go up in flames. Damn that Egg. And damn Bioware for creating one of the single most incredible romances ever. 😢
When I first heard Solas was a romance option, I was like "THE EGG IS ROMANCABLE!? HA!" BUT THEN HE PROCEEDED TO SWEEP ME OFF MY FEET THEN BREAK MY HEART
@@Askarcher when i started DA:I, i was like "Hey Sera seem's to be cool" and then Solas showed up and my heart was taken xD Cullen was waaaay later. His role in DA:2 caused that i don't like him at the beginning. xD
I’m still on my first play through of the game and as soon as I meet solas I was in love like holy Maker! Sadly due to the RUclips algorithm his character has been spoiled for me but still. Love him to death! Honestly don’t know if I can romance anyone else and I want to see the Cullen romance.
The knowledge that even two years after he broke Lavellan's heart, Solas still calls her ,,ma vhenan”, kills me even more. He smashed my heart. Now all I have is dust.
"I know you will try..." Urgh, Gareth David-Lloyd did a fantastic job on delivering every single one of his lines, but I got chills when he said that. It's like he's already accepted the fact that the inquisitor will fall because there is no way she can defeat him. It's not even arrogance, just blunt honesty. And that is absolutely terrifying. Solas knows the extent of his power far better than anyone else alive does, except perhaps Mythal. We saw a glimpse of it in Tresspasser and that is scary enough... Anyway, this video is absolutely beautiful and made me feel things again and now I don't know how to deal with myself... Props to you though for making something so magnificently heart wrenching.
I hope this won't turn to a path that leads to sacrifice. I'm terrified if he wins she will die or if she wins he will die. It's so sad their love is doomed from the start. Well done Bioware for making a RomeoxJuliet romance...star-crossed lovers
I fear no matter how unrushed it is... the story will lack what many of us seek... they lost a fantastic writer.. and Mass Effect Andromeda proves its cost..... in my heart.. i hope the next game delivers on the beautiful stories they have created thus far... in my head... I am trying to prepare for the disappointment...
You should always prepare for disappointment, in my opinion. If it is as bad as you expect it to be, then it won't be a surprise and you won't be as upset. But if it's not, then it's worth it. :)
This is still the best Solavellan vid... And the only one I know that uses my favourite Solas' line: "I would treasure the chance to be wrong once again, my love"... Oh the feelings...
I've been a solavellan diehard for 10 years now, and this is still the most moving tribute to their heart wrenching love story that I've ever seen. I always come back to it when I need to revisit the heartache of that story. Thank you for making such an exceptional video ❤🥚❤
If Cole stays a spirit, his little conclusion drawing at the end says something about him going to a friend who needs him, and I like to think that's Solas, and that Cole will help him. Or maybe even be vital to stopping him(?) Anyways, I was playing today, and had those two in my party and a banter came up where Solas was talking about how there aren't enough faith, wisdom, and compassion spirits, that they keep dying. And Cole says, "I'll try not to die then." Solas, "I'd like that." It's just, so sweet! Love those two. I hope Cole can help him, along with Lavellan ;-;♡
I hope we have an option to be a giant jerk and be with Solas in the next game. I really want to play DA4 as my inquisitor. I don't have the heart to fight him. I know he touched my butt then dumped me but so what.
Taylor O'Dell hahah same! I'd seriously just do everything to be by his side. Of course, I'd at least try to persuade him, but if I can't, Solas just take me with you. Won't fight him, I never could.
Would be kinda cool to play as a new character fighting the inqusitor and defeating her. "You were blinded by love and now look at what you have become."
Kyuukami So did I. Here I am seven months after your comment, and all this time since I finished my first Solavellan playthrough, my first ever. My heart breaks for my inquisitor every time because its not just her falling in love with Solas over and over again. This has nothing to do with sexuality. It just seems I fall for the wrong type 😔😔😔
I know it’s just a video game but you know it’s a good game when your physical human heart shattered when he broke up and you know it’s good when you felt safe and at home with him
I've watched a lot of Solavellan videos, and so far I only love this and one other. You create such a beautiful atmosphere, and it makes me ache. Solavellan is by far my favorite of the Inquisition romances even though it hurts the most. He's so quiet and unassuming during the base game, yet so intense at times. And the first time he kisses her is probably my favorite. He's comfortable, in his element there in the fade, enjoying himself more than he really should, showing off a little. She kisses him first, and turns away, embarrassed, and he looks so intense, so pleased and affectionate, and just grabs her and bends her over backwards with the force of his kiss. And even when he pulls away, knowing why he can't feel this for her, he's still smiling. I love it so much.
Voice of Solas ohh... I got chills when I heart this voice (good work Gareth David-Lloyd) :) I want be with Solas and see Elven world from his time it could be amazing.
My heart is officially broken. I have been obsessing over this romance for the past two months. I can only hope it gets resolved somehow in the next game :(
This video is incredible. I love this. Thank you so friggin much. We Inquisitors need to stick together because I know we're all crying over solavellan.
even though we have to stop him, we still understand WHY he's doing this. and that's what makes this so hard. fighting a friend because you have to. because you MUST. because that's exactly what Solas has to do. and no matter who wins. we all lose
This is AMAZING. I fell in love with Solas when I finished Trespasser and now I'm waiting for his return in Dragon Age 4. With this video all the emotions came again 😍
Finally got over these two. Found your video. Now I'm laying on the floor once again, crying myself into sleep... (it's my creepy way to say awesome work ♥ )
I don't know if I'm happy for you nothing having your heart turned to ashes or if I'm sad because you didn't live one of the most beautiful and involving love story ever created I won't lie to you. It makes you happy but also makes you suffer a lot in the end it's like having a dagger piercing your heart But let me tell you something the pain you feel afterwards it's totally worth it
Absolutely adore this video. Even though it makes me sob and want to try and show him we're worth saving. I love this. Thank you for putting together something so beautiful. I don't know how many times I've listened to it so far!
DAMN, SON.This video is so powerful I've had to watch it several times. The song is perfect and the editing is beautiful. DEM COLOURS I CRY. I thought I was finally over Solavellan but then I watched this and was plunged back into hell. I couldn't wait for the small moments of Solas' story arch while playing the first time. I had forgotten how emotive Solas' dialogue was and how intense his character became as you got to know him. Gareth David-Lloyd's line delivery is so loaded with emotion and breathes such life into Solas that you can empathise with him despite his desire to destroy the world. "You must understand, I awoke in a world where The Veil had blocked most people's conscious connection to The Fade. It was like walking through a world of Tranquil" gives me chills. If we have to fight him in DA:4 I will do so with a heavy heart.
I can for rehabilitation! The egg shoud make a public apology about the evils he's caused. I also judge him for making me cry, live until the end of his days with Lavellan!
I feel so late, but I just finished Tresspasser a few days ago and my heart aches for my poor Lavellan. Trying to start a new playthrough, but I'm always prone to play elven mages... Prone to romancing other elven mages... Oh Maker help me. This video is absolutely beautiful, fantastic work. I hope you get to see this! ♡
OH MY GOD. WHY AM I ONLY NOW FINDING THIS?! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. I believe this is probably the best video I've ever seen for Solavellan. My heart cannot take this!! 😭😭😭
Ah, my vhenan is aching. This video... Well done! And damn you Patrick Weekes for writing such a heartbreaking character, and damn Gareth David-Lloyd's smooth voice and amazing skills.
Why am I back here? After two years? Got myself back into the hell I had almost forgotten, but I couldn't forget the stupid eggs sincere words to my inquisitor. You took her heart Solas! Her feeble heart and crushed it in your own hand, whether by choice or not. Although I probably won't get my happily ever after with these two star-crossed lovers, I don't think I will be able to bring my next character to kill him if it is to come to that. Like my inquisitor, I honestly don't care how much of a monster he may become in DA4. I'd rather stand by his side and watch the world burn!
Do you ever think about the fact that the only way Solas gives that he is different from the crazed, Blighted, evil Tevinter magister is because he isn't quite as happy to raze everything to the ground? Because I do. A lot. Just about Solas in general. For months on end. (It's probably unhealthy, but such is life in Solavellan Hell.) There is some extremely warped reasoning in that shiny head of his. I mean, what's his rush? The man is immortal! Maybe being around shems for too long will make him lose his immortality? Still, he spent thousands of years in Arlathan before he decided that something needed to be done. He has been awake for all of one year-ONE YEAR in his extremely immortal life. This entire time, he has been actively trying to prevent himself from seeing the truth of other people's person-hood. He's just like "Whelp, this thing that I did actually worked, but not well enough, so let's kill everything and go back to how it used to be because it's not like I spent at least a few decades contemplating what action should be taken with Mythal because the Elvhen were a little craaaaazzyy. (Possibly Blighted.) But no. One egg with too much power and not enough patience is going to destroy the world because he's nostalgic. *Insert Cassandra's Disgusted Noise I apologize for ranting, but it's late and this video made me think thoughts. May the Dread Wolf never hear your steps.
I actually think about it a lot as well. And yeah, it might be unhealthy to think about a video game all the time, but inquisition doesn't even feel like a video game anymore. There's so much life to it and I wish there was more to it. Someone who finally feels the same.
Exactly and then the events of Traspasser make the hart ache that much harder. I can honestly say that Solas leaving felt like i was breaking up with a real person and what i look for in these videos sometimes is closure. What makes his relationship more hrealistic than other videogames is that there is a feeling of they would be ok without you and even within the same game, Cullen his romance is sweet and cute however you get the feeling that if it wasn't you he would still find a nice girl and marry her. However solas makes you feel special you open his world, you were something that was not meant to happen but it did and he loves you.... I spend too much time thinking about him in general i am glad that i can talk to people about it
+Brenda Rivas Every word of what you said is beautiful and I feel the same say. Solas opened to you and trusted you and then suddenly shut you out. You were something special to him. It's pure heartache.
He is no god. Just a powerful mage (same as Evanuris). Elven immortality was due to being so close to fade (well...there was no fade, just a world of unlimited beauty of magic) so...he is no immortal anymore. Even Mythal isnt immortal as she cant keep her body from aging (flemeth daughters, transporting her soul blahblah). I want to join him in DA4, world without fade, with spirits, magic would be amazing. Let the new arise from the ashes of old!
Returning once again to say, this is such an amazing vid!! The audio edits, the song choice (!!) and the combination of da2/dao animations always gets me. You were one of my biggest inspirations and I can't wait to see what you do with dreadwolf (when it arrives!!)
Honestly, this romance will have me crying and sobbing again and again. The frustration is clearly there throughout the start. Solas was stepping over his own line to fall in love with our inquisitors, which makes it harder to think that we may have to fight Solas in the next game, even if we may not be the inquisitor. The attachment to this solemn elf won’t go and I think it will cloud my judgment over him in the next game. Dammit Solas! Why’d you take our heart if you knew you were destined to destroy it as well... Great video.. Will watch this over and over whenever I miss the game terribly
I finished my solas romance yesterday. My heart is so broken right know. I knew he would leave and break my heart so I romanced Cullen every playthrough even though I played an elve Y__Y And now I'm into this mess anyway :(
I CRY HOW DO I STOP?! This is the most beautiful video that I ever seen!!! I'm reviewing it again and again I just can't find the words I think you made me happier Thank you, thank you so much СУКА СОЛАС♥♥♥
And I'm a gonner. So long: nice knowing you. I'll just be over here. Curled up. In the corner. Dying. If we don't get some epic closure for Soals and the Inquisitor in DA4, I'm suing.
Lisandra they should make a movie about the whole game starting from origins using real life people that actually look like the characters then a year or 2 later release the second movie ect and they pull make a lot of money and people who never played the game might wanna go play it
yea but if its animated it will be animated more towards kids but if there hot actors it will be good for all ages like if harley quinn was animated she wouldn't be hot
Deon karaitiana I know what u mean but I don't think they would make it for kids there is a bunch of DC films which are animated and rater R , so not completely true. However, like I explained before if they think they can make a good live action movie then go ahead I just don't want this epic romance be ruined by people who will not have the same love for the characters as we the fans, and the voice actors who brought this characters to life with their voices. This is theoretical of cource, I doubt they will make a movie, but it's a nice dream. :)
Of course, you get brownie points for the Henry V reference. One of the best speeches ever written. Please do more videos of whatever you want! You're really good at this! :)
Ugh, why does that bit at 1:47 really get to me?! Okay the whole thing got to me but seriously!? Really good GMV though. I love the added touches you put into it. Believe me, I watch far more Solavellan vids than I'd like to admit and this is definitely at the top of my fav list!
I like this video. This is the best AND worst romance (for obvious reasons).. but it never stops putting a lump in my throat. Such great work. The game AND this video. I also like how you threw in other game's trailers into it for more drama. Fantastic work.
I love your idea of mixing the song with the most heartbreaking dialogue, it works really well. You really captured the essence of their complicated romance
This is probably the best homage to Solavellan I have seen! Very emotional, especially for us still in Solavellan Hell. When I first played the game, I never thought I would romance any other than Cullen - I've had my eyes on him since DA:O. I romanced Solas just for fun initially- I fully intended to break up with him later on and return to Cullen. 6+ playthroughs later, I cannot- and have not romanced anyone BUT Solas. And all that was before Trespasser. After Trespasser, I consider myself ruined for any other man in any other DA game. If he turns up to be a non redeemable major adversary in the next game, I will join him in destroying the world- so that we can be together. Yeah, that's how bad I've got it.
This is my most favorite Solavellan edit ever and I remember that I watched this video back then in 2018 after I finished DA Inquisition + Trespasser...and finally...many years later we got an ending to their story in DA The Veilguard. 🥹 But man... this makes me kinda sad..Solas and our Inquisitor Lavellan's romance story kept me so so motivated over the years...what I gonna do now? 😭
Gods damn it, why do I keep watching these things knowing they will continue to break my heart? This is beautiful and gives me all the feels. Why am I not over this by now?
This is the third time I have commented on this video. The previous two times I have commented, I have lamented of the deaths I suffered in response to this video. This time I am here, once again, to tell you that this video has ended me for the third, but probably not the last, time. Thank you for your contribution to the immense pain I constantly hold in my heart that has been caused by Solas.
I am still playing the Solace romance story, and this video is why I even wanted to try it. OMG, even after knowing who he is, I cannot help but love the romance story, like I can change the ending...somehow. My poor elf though, she is going to be crushed... and I am going to cry.
SO MUCH FEELS. GEESUS CRISP. I have to say Piff, this is one of your best works to date. qoq So much emotion and beauty in your work that I just...! lsdjkfsdkjfs I adore this. And now I'm going to weep over a damn egg.
Am I tripping or was that Hanged Man's Tree from The Witcher 3 at 2:08 -- Two of my absolute favorite games, if I'm right I ADORE the parallels. Amazing job!!!
So my soul didn’t just shrivel up and die or anything. I’m totally fine. But this is fucking amazing! I mean it’s by far the best Solavallen video I have ever seen. I cannot express how much I appreciate that you included the heart wrenching dialogue, and the animations from all three games about the religious histories of Thedas. You did a nice job of reconciling the opposing mythologies of the humans and elves. The fact that a video game can gut me so much is actually quite alarming, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am really happy that you experimented with different imagery and clips to add depth to the story by approaching it from new angles. Solas’ inner turmoil totally resonated with me through this video, and Lavellen’s desperation was apparent through out the entire video. Sometimes when I need a good dose of tragic romance, with the bittersweet memories left behind, and the small ever present sliver of hope this video is my first stop. I’d love to see more of what you can do. Your ability to merge emotions with videos, voice-overs and imagery is phenomenal. I also really hope that we learn more about Solas’ history, his plan and why he has to destroy this world. After watching the Trespasser Epilogue I don’t really understand why so many elves would willingly march to their death to serve Fen’Harel, are they not aware that he intends to bring the apocalypse? Also is he just a super powerful mage, or is he an actual deity? So many questions. I would love to hear your thoughts. If you have any fanfiction I would be totally game to read it as I always looking for quality Solavellen stories. My email is ericahoh49@gmail.com if you ever want to talk Dragon Age!! 🐉🧝🏻♀️🧝🏾♂️🤴🏻👸🏽👑📜🗡⚔️
I have watched this video countless times and it remains my favorite. So full of poignancy and longing and desperate hopeful potential. It draws your soul out and wrings it painfully. Masterfully done.

I just hope they'll listen to us when making the next game!!!
we'll let the world burn ugh
big mood
I don’t know if I have ever agreed with anything more or so quickly in my life!!!
Right in the vhenan
I know right?
Right in the my heart
Vhenan is heart. Ma'vhenan is my heart
When I first heard Solas was a romance option, I was like "THE EGG IS ROMANCABLE!? HA!" BUT THEN HE PROCEEDED TO SWEEP ME OFF MY FEET THEN BREAK MY HEART
The egg... LMFAO
tristan pena the egg cracked us all
I wonder how many ppl romanced Cullen first play thru then Solas EVERY TIME AFTER
@@Askarcher when i started DA:I, i was like "Hey Sera seem's to be cool" and then Solas showed up and my heart was taken xD Cullen was waaaay later. His role in DA:2 caused that i don't like him at the beginning. xD

I'm not crying you're crying.
Damnit it's been a year and I'm still crying ;__;
Ratri 8 month later i still am
TruePikachu NO U 😭
i still cry about this
My boyfriend is pissed that I've been crying over him for the last few years
Watching this in 2024...ready for the new game to come out and kill me further.
If Cole stays a spirit, his little conclusion drawing at the end says something about him going to a friend who needs him, and I like to think that's Solas, and that Cole will help him.

listening to this again because the veilguard announcement has me thinking about solavellan
I hope we have an option to be a giant jerk and be with Solas in the next game.
I really want to play DA4 as my inquisitor.
I don't have the heart to fight him. I know he touched my butt then dumped me but so what.
Taylor O'Dell hahah same! I'd seriously just do everything to be by his side. Of course, I'd at least try to persuade him, but if I can't, Solas just take me with you. Won't fight him, I never could.
At least I'm not alone. My Lavellan would do anything for that Dread Egg. 😢
Would be kinda cool to play as a new character fighting the inqusitor and defeating her. "You were blinded by love and now look at what you have become."
TheIfifi but I don’t want to fight the inquisitor, I want to restore the elven people! Haha
@@carrina1006 Theirs is a thing of the past. One can't destroy the world out of nostalgia.
"Watch me" -Solas
I'm not gonna lie.
Because of this video I started to play this game
At least you knew beforehand of the heartbreak in store for you XD
happy playing! :)
MissNivans Hope you enjoy it as well. Last great game i played were FFIX (Final fantasy 9) ☺
We get an ending to their story in the new game, a sad one though
The atmosphere you created is wonderful!
thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it :)
+We Happy Few Fantastic job. I thought the live action parts in various places was a good idea, especially the one with the vines. Nice transition. 👍👏
Thought I was finished crying over this egg ;--;
Kyuukami So did I. Here I am seven months after your comment, and all this time since I finished my first Solavellan playthrough, my first ever. My heart breaks for my inquisitor every time because its not just her falling in love with Solas over and over again. This has nothing to do with sexuality.

Right in the Vhenan I'm sorry, but I like your name.
same and its been 2 years
" i will never forget you .. "
MY GOD WHY !?
I know it’s just a video game but you know it’s a good game when your physical human heart shattered when he broke up and you know it’s good when you felt safe and at home with him
there's something in my eyes
Amelys pupil?
I still watch this. It's incredible.
I've watched a lot of Solavellan videos, and so far I only love this and one other. You create such a beautiful atmosphere, and it makes me ache.
Solavellan is by far my favorite of the Inquisition romances even though it hurts the most. He's so quiet and unassuming during the base game, yet so intense at times.

You sounded like Cole there for a moment xD
Alex I'm going to take that as a compliment.
Voice of Solas ohh... I got chills when I heart this voice (good work Gareth David-Lloyd) :) I want be with Solas and see Elven world from his time it could be amazing.
Me too ❤️🥴
My heart is officially broken. I have been obsessing over this romance for the past two months. I can only hope it gets resolved somehow in the next game :(
Urgh same!!! Its such a good story but so very heartbreaking ! Hopefully the inquisitor will have a cameo with solas thrown in!!
I keep watching this over and over again. My heart can't take the pain, but I love it all the same.
That’s a nice little poem!
Solavellan hell
This gotta be the best Solavellan edit out there. I still think bout this after years.
This video is incredible. I love this. Thank you so friggin much. We Inquisitors need to stick together because I know we're all crying over solavellan.

This is AMAZING. I fell in love with Solas when I finished Trespasser and now I'm waiting for his return in Dragon Age 4. With this video all the emotions came again 😍
Finally got over these two.
Found your video.
Now I'm laying on the floor once again, crying myself into sleep...
(it's my creepy way to say awesome work ♥ )
This video is utter perfection, thank you. And I didn't even romance Solas.
I don't know if I'm happy for you nothing having your heart turned to ashes or if I'm sad because you didn't live one of the most beautiful and involving love story ever created
I won't lie to you. It makes you happy but also makes you suffer a lot in the end it's like having a dagger piercing your heart
But let me tell you something the pain you feel afterwards it's totally worth it
I just died inside a little more today T_T
Aww ;) I'm glad you enjoyed it tho !
+We Happy Few I did! A lot! Oh sweet pain! :D
..ow. that's all I can say right now, because the feels are very strong and deep in Solavellan hell. Beautifully done!
Absolutely adore this video. Even though it makes me sob and want to try and show him we're worth saving. I love this. Thank you for putting together something so beautiful. I don't know how many times I've listened to it so far!
wow Scenes from THe Witcher 3! Amazing vid btw, it broke my heart

"You must understand, I awoke in a world where The Veil had blocked most people's conscious connection to The Fade. It was like walking through a world of Tranquil" gives me chills. If we have to fight him in DA:4 I will do so with a heavy heart.
I can for rehabilitation! The egg shoud make a public apology about the evils he's caused. I also judge him for making me cry, live until the end of his days with Lavellan!
It’s been 4 years... I need DA4, I need to know what will happen to Solas and Lavellan!
This is the Solas video I always come back to. Absolute favourite. So powerful.
I feel so late, but I just finished Tresspasser a few days ago and my heart aches for my poor Lavellan. Trying to start a new playthrough, but I'm always prone to play elven mages... Prone to romancing other elven mages... Oh Maker help me.
This video is absolutely beautiful, fantastic work. I hope you get to see this! ♡
OH MY GOD. WHY AM I ONLY NOW FINDING THIS?! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. I believe this is probably the best video I've ever seen for Solavellan. My heart cannot take this!! 😭😭😭
Ah, my vhenan is aching. This video... Well done! And damn you Patrick Weekes for writing such a heartbreaking character, and damn Gareth David-Lloyd's smooth voice and amazing skills.
Dragon Age 4:
Lavellan all powered up ready to fight the DreadWolf. "Hi babe."
Uh! This broke my heart all over again. The Dread Wolf took my heart... then my arm v.v
Why am I back here? After two years? Got myself back into the hell I had almost forgotten, but I couldn't forget the stupid eggs sincere words to my inquisitor. You took her heart Solas! Her feeble heart and crushed it in your own hand, whether by choice or not. Although I probably won't get my happily ever after with these two star-crossed lovers, I don't think I will be able to bring my next character to kill him if it is to come to that. Like my inquisitor, I honestly don't care how much of a monster he may become in DA4. I'd rather stand by his side and watch the world burn!
Do you ever think about the fact that the only way Solas gives that he is different from the crazed, Blighted, evil Tevinter magister is because he isn't quite as happy to raze everything to the ground? Because I do.
A lot.
Just about Solas in general.
For months on end. (It's probably unhealthy, but such is life in Solavellan Hell.)
There is some extremely warped reasoning in that shiny head of his.
I mean, what's his rush? The man is immortal! Maybe being around shems for too long will make him lose his immortality? Still, he spent thousands of years in Arlathan before he decided that something needed to be done.
He has been awake for all of one year-ONE YEAR in his extremely immortal life. This entire time, he has been actively trying to prevent himself from seeing the truth of other people's person-hood. He's just like "Whelp, this thing that I did actually worked, but not well enough, so let's kill everything and go back to how it used to be because it's not like I spent at least a few decades contemplating what action should be taken with Mythal because the Elvhen were a little craaaaazzyy. (Possibly Blighted.)
But no.
One egg with too much power and not enough patience is going to destroy the world because he's nostalgic.
*Insert Cassandra's Disgusted Noise
I apologize for ranting, but it's late and this video made me think thoughts.
May the Dread Wolf never hear your steps.
I actually think about it a lot as well. And yeah, it might be unhealthy to think about a video game all the time, but inquisition doesn't even feel like a video game anymore. There's so much life to it and I wish there was more to it. Someone who finally feels the same.
Exactly and then the events of Traspasser make the hart ache that much harder. I can honestly say that Solas leaving felt like i was breaking up with a real person and what i look for in these videos sometimes is closure. What makes his relationship more hrealistic than other videogames is that there is a feeling of they would be ok without you and even within the same game, Cullen his romance is sweet and cute however you get the feeling that if it wasn't you he would still find a nice girl and marry her. However solas makes you feel special you open his world, you were something that was not meant to happen but it did and he loves you.... I spend too much time thinking about him in general i am glad that i can talk to people about it
+Brenda Rivas Every word of what you said is beautiful and I feel the same say. Solas opened to you and trusted you and then suddenly shut you out. You were something special to him. It's pure heartache.
Lasa ghilani, vhenan.
He is no god. Just a powerful mage (same as Evanuris). Elven immortality was due to being so close to fade (well...there was no fade, just a world of unlimited beauty of magic) so...he is no immortal anymore. Even Mythal isnt immortal as she cant keep her body from aging (flemeth daughters, transporting her soul blahblah).
I want to join him in DA4, world without fade, with spirits, magic would be amazing. Let the new arise from the ashes of old!
By the Creators, this gave me goosebumps! Such a great video, good work!
Thanks so much :) glad you enjoyed it !
Ok so I died inside years ago but I still cried like a mad woman. 😂 anyway I love the video. Best one I've seen about solas by far 👏👏👏
Returning once again to say, this is such an amazing vid!! The audio edits, the song choice (!!) and the combination of da2/dao animations always gets me. You were one of my biggest inspirations and I can't wait to see what you do with dreadwolf (when it arrives!!)
thank u for making this video. I'll go to my corner and continue crying
Honestly, this romance will have me crying and sobbing again and again. The frustration is clearly there throughout the start. Solas was stepping over his own line to fall in love with our inquisitors, which makes it harder to think that we may have to fight Solas in the next game, even if we may not be the inquisitor.
The attachment to this solemn elf won’t go and I think it will cloud my judgment over him in the next game.
Dammit Solas! Why’d you take our heart if you knew you were destined to destroy it as well...
Great video.. Will watch this over and over whenever I miss the game terribly
The dialogue in this video is PERFECT. So amazing!!
It's the tragedy that makes loving him so much more sweet, but bitter at the same time.
I finished my solas romance yesterday. My heart is so broken right know. I knew he would leave and break my heart so I romanced Cullen every playthrough even though I played an elve Y__Y And now I'm into this mess anyway :(
I CRY
HOW DO I STOP?!
This is the most beautiful video that I ever seen!!!
I'm reviewing it again and again
I just can't find the words
I think you made me happier
Thank you, thank you so much
СУКА СОЛАС♥♥♥
aww it's alright! We all gotta work through the feels :D
I'm really glad that you enjoyed it so much c: thanks for your comment!
Beautiful ! ^-^
This video is perfect to illustrate the romance Solavellan.
And I'm a gonner. So long: nice knowing you. I'll just be over here. Curled up. In the corner. Dying.
If we don't get some epic closure for Soals and the Inquisitor in DA4, I'm suing.
OMG they should make a movie about these two!!!
it would be great!!
Lisandra they should make a movie about the whole game starting from origins using real life people that actually look like the characters then a year or 2 later release the second movie ect and they pull make a lot of money and people who never played the game might wanna go play it
Deon karaitiana I think I'd like it better animated otherwise it will turn out like another suicide Squad!!
Cause Solas has a sweet ass voice:)
yea but if its animated it will be animated more towards kids but if there hot actors it will be good for all ages like if harley quinn was animated she wouldn't be hot
Deon karaitiana I know what u mean but I don't think they would make it for kids there is a bunch of DC films which are animated and rater R , so not completely true.
However, like I explained before if they think they can make a good live action movie then go ahead I just don't want this epic romance be ruined by people who will not have the same love for the characters as we the fans, and the voice actors who brought this characters to life with their voices.
This is theoretical of cource, I doubt they will make a movie, but it's a nice dream. :)
Lisandra Yea but I'm 16 and i hate the animated superhero films cause they look so fake I prefer real life people and amazing photoshop skills
i literally had to work up the courage to watch this because i knEW it would be beautiful and heart breaking and soul crushing and uughghhh
+ZombieFluff aaah thanks so much
That. Was. BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for putting it together-- it was crazy good. K, gonna go curl up in a corner and cry now.
thanks alot for watching
Of course, you get brownie points for the Henry V reference. One of the best speeches ever written. Please do more videos of whatever you want! You're really good at this! :)
There is only one word to describe this : Perfection.
Amazing work !
Ugh, why does that bit at 1:47 really get to me?!
Okay the whole thing got to me but seriously!?
Really good GMV though. I love the added touches you put into it. Believe me, I watch far more Solavellan vids than I'd like to admit and this is definitely at the top of my fav list!
Urgh yes that quote got me really bad! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your lovely comment :) I'm happy you think so!
I've probably watched this over 100 times by now and every single time it still yanks the feels out of me.
Thank you so much, I'm so amazed at how great this video is.
It made me cry. I love Solas so much!
Thank you
I like this video. This is the best AND worst romance (for obvious reasons).. but it never stops putting a lump in my throat. Such great work. The game AND this video. I also like how you threw in other game's trailers into it for more drama. Fantastic work.
I would give my left arm and more just make him not leave my Lavellan...
...oh wait...
Everytime I hear them, I cry, but I cannot WAIT to romance Solas.
oh my god,this is the most beautiful sovellan video I have ever seen! I hope to see more from you! x
i keep repeating this video
the feels!!
This one reaaaally hit me in the feels
This was so beautifully done!
Nothing has ever hit me so hard in the feels in my entire life, compared to solavellan hell. What ... is.. this
I love your idea of mixing the song with the most heartbreaking dialogue, it works really well. You really captured the essence of their complicated romance
This is probably the best homage to Solavellan I have seen! Very emotional, especially for us still in Solavellan Hell. When I first played the game, I never thought I would romance any other than Cullen - I've had my eyes on him since DA:O. I romanced Solas just for fun initially- I fully intended to break up with him later on and return to Cullen. 6+ playthroughs later, I cannot- and have not romanced anyone BUT Solas. And all that was before Trespasser. After Trespasser, I consider myself ruined for any other man in any other DA game. If he turns up to be a non redeemable major adversary in the next game, I will join him in destroying the world- so that we can be together. Yeah, that's how bad I've got it.
I must have watched this over 100 times by now and it still never fails to stab me in the heart. Well done.
so haunting and beautiful. this is utterly gorgeous. thank you for sharing your talent with us! 😊❤️
Still crying over this music video after years have passed.
Same here 💔
This is my most favorite Solavellan edit ever and I remember that I watched this video back then in 2018 after I finished DA Inquisition + Trespasser...and finally...many years later we got an ending to their story in DA The Veilguard. 🥹
But man... this makes me kinda sad..Solas and our Inquisitor Lavellan's romance story kept me so so motivated over the years...what I gonna do now? 😭
Silas had an absolutely awesome voice actor
just listend to the inquisition theme and autoplay did his job while i was in a melacholic mood.
wow. it's just beautiful
My heart is breaking all over again.
Gods damn it, why do I keep watching these things knowing they will continue to break my heart? This is beautiful and gives me all the feels. Why am I not over this by now?
I thought I was over him T_T. . Fen'Harel ma ghilana. Ir abelas, ma vhenan. Mala suledin nadas.
GUESS WHO'S BACK FOR MORE PAIN
This is the third time I have commented on this video. The previous two times I have commented, I have lamented of the deaths I suffered in response to this video. This time I am here, once again, to tell you that this video has ended me for the third, but probably not the last, time. Thank you for your contribution to the immense pain I constantly hold in my heart that has been caused by Solas.
thank you so much for your kind words
This is one of the most beautiful Solavellan Video i have ever seen. The live Action and DA2 scences fit perfect. Just...wonderful.
Im glad they do! I was worried about that bit but it's nice to see what you guys think about the mixture :) thank you!
I am never capable of listening to just this song without thinking of this video and it makes my heart ache so much I hate it 😭😭
And...now I'm drowning in hours of angst. *sigh*
I totally cry to this song over and over. I got my little sister crying over Solas today. Apparently dragged her down "the dragon hole."
MAKER this is beautiful!! Amazing job?? You pieced everything together to perfectly?? I'm sobbing??
I am still playing the Solace romance story, and this video is why I even wanted to try it. OMG, even after knowing who he is, I cannot help but love the romance story, like I can change the ending...somehow. My poor elf though, she is going to be crushed... and I am going to cry.
SO MUCH FEELS. GEESUS CRISP. I have to say Piff, this is one of your best works to date. qoq So much emotion and beauty in your work that I just...! lsdjkfsdkjfs
I adore this.
And now I'm going to weep over a damn egg.
+Stephicness
Tel venavis numin... Ma serannas, lethallin
Mass Effect Andromeda could learn withthis powerlines!!!! DA:I was a masterpiece!
Am I tripping or was that Hanged Man's Tree from The Witcher 3 at 2:08 -- Two of my absolute favorite games, if I'm right I ADORE the parallels. Amazing job!!!
So my soul didn’t just shrivel up and die or anything. I’m totally fine. But this is fucking amazing! I mean it’s by far the best Solavallen video I have ever seen. I cannot express how much I appreciate that you included the heart wrenching dialogue, and the animations from all three games about the religious histories of Thedas. You did a nice job of reconciling the opposing mythologies of the humans and elves. The fact that a video game can gut me so much is actually quite alarming, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am really happy that you experimented with different imagery and clips to add depth to the story by approaching it from new angles. Solas’ inner turmoil totally resonated with me through this video, and Lavellen’s desperation was apparent through out the entire video. Sometimes when I need a good dose of tragic romance, with the bittersweet memories left behind, and the small ever present sliver of hope this video is my first stop. I’d love to see more of what you can do. Your ability to merge emotions with videos, voice-overs and imagery is phenomenal. I also really hope that we learn more about Solas’ history, his plan and why he has to destroy this world. After watching the Trespasser Epilogue I don’t really understand why so many elves would willingly march to their death to serve Fen’Harel, are they not aware that he intends to bring the apocalypse? Also is he just a super powerful mage, or is he an actual deity? So many questions. I would love to hear your thoughts. If you have any fanfiction I would be totally game to read it as I always looking for quality Solavellen stories. My email is ericahoh49@gmail.com if you ever want to talk Dragon Age!! 🐉🧝🏻♀️🧝🏾♂️🤴🏻👸🏽👑📜🗡⚔️
So haunting and beautiful i cry as i rewatch this over and over
I have watched this video countless times and it remains my favorite. So full of poignancy and longing and desperate hopeful potential. It draws your soul out and wrings it painfully. Masterfully done.
