I love how half the shit between Solas and Cole is outright spoilers sometimes but they say it in such a vague way that everyone in the party is just like "Huh??"
Spoilers btw but duh What's funny is that if you read the Codexes, it actually explains his uprising more so than not I think. They almost straight out say Solas is a spirit in the beginning in The Fade codex, it goes on about how spirits can not "imagine" they simply just slip into people's dreams, and create the worlds of the people they peep on. That's why Solas thinks of Haven when he brings the inquisitor to The Fade. It also says "Even the most powerful demons merely plagiarize the worst thoughts and fears of mortals, and build their realms with no other ambition than to taste life." And if that doesn't scream Solas Bad Guy I dont know what does. Also the reason it is important demons and spirits can not imagine, and is very crucial to this statement for the fact that if you talk to Solas in the beginning about the fade during times of haven, he mentions his inability to create, to imagine... to be human. He also holds spirits in very high regard, like they would be one of his own. He almost doesn't feel remorse for many other species, right ? But he feels for spirits, like Cole or Mythal. I'd like to hear your own opinions and consipiricies, this is just mine :)
@@jeannielancaster5350 he led an uprising against the gods, that takes PLENTY of imagination. He also insists on his own mortality. Spirits also dont do magic the way he does. What Solas is is likely a mage who made a pact with a kind spirit (see that side quest from Jaws of Hakkon, or Ameridan who mentions 'my spirit companion.' It's also very likely Mythal did as well and that fragment is what carries 'Mythal' on to this day, though this part is speculation). Also I'm pretty sure spirits dont undergo uthenera, they just get 'reborn' - but Solas slept for millenia.
@@NhuLe-cm3nwSolas literally means pride in elven, his dread wolf form also has 6 eyes like a pride demon. He likely is some variation of pride originally and become an elf in a similar way to how Cole became human
Considering her friendship with Blackwall never was the same after his reveal i can't imagine her opinion of Solas now, was a miracle she forgived Varric and was only because she knew that was her fault
Cole: You are quiet, Solas. Solas: Unless I have something to say, yes. Cole: No, inside. I don't hear your hurt as much. Your song is softer, subtler, not silent but still. Solas: How small the pain of one man seems when weighed against the endless depths of memory, of feeling, of existence. That ocean carries everyone. And those of us who learn to see its currents move through life with their fewer ripples. Cole: There is pain though, still within you. Solas: And I never said that there was not.

@@411marcos he's saying because of his experience he realises his suffering alone is nothing compared to the whole world. He recognises this which allows him to live an easier life with less turbulence.. that's how I interpret it at least.
@@411marcos I think cole is referring to solas's guilt and regret for destroying the elven empire or the pain of what he has to do next to current thedas after cory is defeated.
Solas is so judgemental about Blackwell's lies because he could never do the same thing: Own up to his mistakes and change for the better. He's projecting. I mean, at least Blackwell wasn't lying about his intentions lol
Or perhaps it's that he actually knows a thing or two about the blight and darkspawn, and that knowledge renders wardens work foolish at least, or outright harmfull... We'll likely find out in da4
The Blight came from the fade, when tevinters intruded on the black city, Ancient Elves are trapped in the fade. The Blight is something he knows, it comes from the knowledge of the old Elves.
The blight likely didn't appear during The Second Sin of the Tevinter Magisters. Corypheus says the Black City was empty and already evil. The fact it was empty drives him to become a god to help the world. I'm inclined to believe him. He's one of the only people directly stated to have tried to reach the city, and claim what he saw. The Blight is likely from before the fall of Arlathan, as there are texts describing one of the Evanuris interacting with "The Void" and losing herself to it. I think the Evanuris started using the Blight and becoming corrupted with it. The Evanuris likely corrupted Arlathon to the Black City, and Solas used the creation of the fade to keep the city as it was. So the Second Sin was likely responsible for bringing Blight to Thedas, but indont think it created or was the first use of blight.
i just had one that was: varric: chuckles i’m surprised you haven’t mentioned the fade yet solas: i don’t always talk the about the fade inky: yes you do varric: haha see!! i haven’t heard this one before and it was so cute, i’m trying to find it on youtube but i can’t so maybe it’s really rare?? idk but inky is done with her nerdy ass bf
i have bull , dorian and sera in my party when venturin in the emerald graves sera's banter : the veil is bored here. referring to solas "the veil is thin here" i laughed so loud 🤣
There's always something interesting going on, no matter how small, I swear. I'd always assumed Solas said to the Hinterlands elf lady something along the lines of "We know you're hiding that, don't deceive us" but instead it was more "Help us. Your debt/obligation. A path to freedom/victory" after which she offer's Mythal's blessing. Did he just straight up call in a favour for that amulet of power?
I've never play as a warrior and the comment about the muscles and the "but yes since you asked." Made me giggle. 10 years and I still fall for the egg head on replays.
But then he comes around after a while, acknowledging Reinier as a worthy chap, in my book it's far better than never feeling wrong/having strong feelings about Tom's revelations to begin with

The way he says excuse me always gets me 😂
it's so cute lol
Imagine Cassandra’s reaction to Solas’s identity. She’d feel so betrayed.
Wouldnt be the first time she doesnt forgive someone.
If u bring her with and his identity is revealed she gasps "what?!"
One example of rigidity
Considering her friendship with Blackwall never was the same after his reveal i can't imagine her opinion of Solas now, was a miracle she forgived Varric and was only because she knew that was her fault
Well He Is The Dread Wolf For A Reason If You Say Identity 😏 Lol Wait Tell You See Solas Isn't Solas Talk About Body Jumping Like (It) From The Movie.

I will forever love Blackwall’s catchphrase... “Maker’s Balls!”
It’s so fucking good.

Oh, wrong topic though, never mind
This. Once you know, you read every remark he makes with that in mind.
His anger at Blackwall is actually him projecting, if you didn’t know that’s why he eventually apologizes to him
When Solas was starting to see them as fellow beings rather than insignificant pests.
“They’ve bought us some time, I’ll give them that.”
You planning something Fen’Harel?

I could listen to Solas talk for hours and never get bored.
Solas: *elf talk*
Sara: PFFFFT
Solas: eXcUsE Me!
Solas calling out Blackwall for making a mess and then running away from it....taking it a little personally there hey mr Dread wolf
i just had one that was:
varric: chuckles i’m surprised you haven’t mentioned the fade yet
solas: i don’t always talk the about the fade
inky: yes you do
varric: haha see!!
i haven’t heard this one before and it was so cute, i’m trying to find it on youtube but i can’t so maybe it’s really rare?? idk but inky is done with her nerdy ass bf
like sera says if you romance Solas
"he probably screams 'Elven Glory' while you do it"
i dont know why, but solas is my favorite part member.
he was first one to leave mine, every time. Annoying af.
@@kaiosun I thought Solas couldn't leave the inquisition no matter your approval rating with him
That stupid hat, though. :D
ikr!! i always hide em
That ending: disaster averted
Oh, Maker's breathe. Subtitles sometimes showing "Solas" like "Soulless". I believe, RUclips automatic subtitles know something about Solavellan)
The Cassandra dialogue where he says about her doing differently from others in power... It seems he respects her too.
solas, you sneaky son of a bitch. i have a feeling that val royeaux part was not in the fade, but he was actually there many centuries ago.
Ramazan Tekin Oh....

Yeah I think he did haha. “Hey you owe us for helping you”
The Maker is real. Cole confirmed it.
But he is far away. He really abandoned us
I've never play as a warrior and the comment about the muscles and the "but yes since you asked." Made me giggle. 10 years and I still fall for the egg head on replays.

That hat
How has Solas heard of viel fire but not seen it when he was literally the one to make it
Because he is pretending he doesn’t know so people don’t figure out who he is.
