I will never get over how solas is so prideful and witty but bows his head in front of the inquisitor and always sincere. the respect , the admiration . romanced or high approval that relationship is so special.
Seriously. And I love how the friendship path has him thanking the Inquisitor too. Idk what it is, as moving as the romance path is, I love the friendship path so much more. My Inquisitor never gave up on his dear friend, and the whole reason the Veilguard exists is because of that refusal to accept Solas as a lost cause. Just. The whole friendship between them means so much to me and I cried just as much for this ending as the romance one. Maybe more so cause the friendship one is my canon path.
@@BraenaWolfI think I prefer the respect story over the romanced one myself, although the romance path does end up giving you interesting bits of lore earlier on in Inquisition than you would otherwise learn about them, like how the Dalish have gotten the meaning of the vallaslin wrong. It makes Solas’s actions in Trespasser feel more genuine. Of course Solas would want to help someone he loves one last time before he wanders off to end existence. But by giving a friend-inquisitor a little nudge in the direction of uncovering the Qunari plot, while also leading them step-by-step to their “final” meeting just so he could save the Inquisitor’s life makes you appreciate just how much their friendship actually means to Solas. Knowing what we know now about his past, it might be the only TRUE friendship Solas has ever known. So at least for me, Solas making the choice in the end to hear the words of the Inquisitor, and to choose to bind himself to the veil ALSO marks a new beginning for Solas himself. Mythal, the Evanuris, even the Dread Wolf himself can be put to rest and become part of his past. It casts his farewell remark about finally being able to see the way in a slightly new light, too. It’s probably the first decision Solas has ever made with complete free will, and it was influenced by his bond with the Inquisitor. Literally showing him the way forward.
First time I noticed this even though I’ve watched this a LOT. It’s subtle but important. 0:48 Redemption Solas trusts Rook. So much so he takes what Rook says about not wanting to fight at face value. He lowers the hand he was going to use in a fight against him, and his posture shifts from adversarial to relaxed, even though Rook still has a weapon that could bind Solas to the Veil and prevent it from falling. It’s funny, for the god of lies he sure does like to trust people lol. The look on his face too, as he lowers his hand. A mix of like regret, despair, and relief.
I cried like a baby when that trespasser music kicked in. This was such a beautifully executed ending. Thank you so much Bioware. While I have my issues with this game, I am glad it ended so damned well, it made the decade long wait worth it
We don't know if the Well of Sorrows held a piece of Mythal or not, but regardless, Morrigan's Mythal soul isn't the one from the Well anyway. It's the one from Flemeth. She appeared to Morrigan as her mother, after all. Solas stole her power in Inquisition, but I Morrigan states he didn't take her soul/memories, which sought her out as a vessel instead. Which tracks since that's kinda what Flemeth/Mythal was doing in DAO, passing the spirit through her daughters. It doesn't have anything to do with the Well.
The well of sorrows in completely separate from Morrigan inheriting Mythal. The well of sorrows was just the knowledge passed down by the head priests of Mythal, that can go to either Morrigan or the Inquisitor. Flemeth, regardless of the well of sorrows, sends the wisp of Mythal to Morrigan.
@@exnihilonihilum2318 .....Yeah? We actually don't know what she was doing with the eluvian, but even if you're completely correct, I don't see how its relevant. From how I read your comment you're acting like you disproved my point when you didn't. If anything you reinforced it because you just cited more evidence on the fact the spirit of Mythal is seperate from the Well...
@@bubblybobabubbles I dont finish Veilguard yet so Maybe im missing some part but the way how i feel my playthrough with my mage inquisitor is i have the well. So my inquisitor take the gift of the well and then Bioware decide to just erased that part of the story I’ve made. Its just the first dragon age where what I do have completly no impact and I feel that sad and its bad to my opinion Thats all
I think I would have rather Solas succeed in restoring the old world at the start of the game, and spending the first act trying to help restore order in the newly changed world. Humans finding a way to survive in a world they we're supposed to.
Things may have turned out worse than Solas had imagined they would for his people specifically once the Veil was in place, but you know he did it for a REASON, right? Imagine a worldwide Tevinter Magisterium where the rulers were immortal, far more powerful, and far LESS caring. Enslaving entire races for fun. Slaying fantastic creatures because they can. Treating the world like a plaything. You ACTUALLY want that? Immortal, all-powerful tyrants with insane egos and no care for other living things. Not even for the other Evanuris. That’s what you want?
I never even finished the game because I hated the characters/story so much. However I will give them credit - this is an absolutely fantastic ending. Whenever I play through the Trespasser ending this is exactly what I imagined the follow-up would be. I wish there was more interaction between Solas and the Inquisitor considering the history/friendship they share together. But overall well done Bioware. If only you got the other 99% of the game correct.
It was a good touch to use Solas' Tresspasser theme. This could have been an amazing finale to the Dragon Age saga if Bioware had more competent writers and actually focused on making this game an epic instead of using it as a platform to preach their personal beliefs
@@theatlantean8036 The age old battle of people who think that the issues of today, didn't exist yesterday. Its so sad that this game has gotten all the vitriol about the LGBTQ representation, when Dragon Age has done that in all of its games. And the same battles we fight today were fought in those days. Allowing queer romances, having characters that are endogenous. In many ways the series is a representation of this.
And absolutely none of it has anything to do with EA/Bioware's C-suite team forcing them to make Anthem... or trying to force them to make this a multiplayer game... or repeatedly shooting down the things they wanted to do... or firing most of the lead writers and constantly replacing the development heads and basically stalling the game's development... it's all just The Queers...
@@theatlantean8036 i am agreeing with you??? it was meant to be sarcasm to the OP up there who thinks that bad writing is because of The LGBTS and not any of the issues I mentioned...
Depends on your actions in Inquisition, actually. If you are an elven Inquisitor, AND you install Briala as the power behind the throne in “Wicked Eyes, Wicked Hearts” the people of Orlais are so thankful for The Inquisitor restoring peace and stability to Thedas that they more or less accept her rule so long as the world still thinks Gaspard is actually in command. If your Inquisitor is NOT an elf, things don’t go nearly as well for Briala or the elves of Orlais if she is installed as the power behind the throne. The absolute best outcome for the elves is if the Inquisitor reconciles Celene and Briala. With the civil war over, and the threat of Corypheus handled, Celene embarks on a program of reforming Orlais, and part of this reform is that elves are no longer second class citizens of the empire. If Celene rules alone, or Gaspard rules, the situation of the elves does not change.
Many reasons. Not only is the Inquisitor, who clearly still loves him/cares about him despite everything, once more pleading with him- when, especially as a romanced Inky, already significantly weakened his resolve during DAI to the point he almost _did_ give up on his plan- Rook, who he has grown to care about and respect, and a piece of Mythal, a long lost friend who was the first domino to fall all those years ago, have all come together to convince him. He has felt so alone, has hated himself so deeply, and yet here are all of these people, fighting for him. No matter how hard he tried to shove them all away, no matter how he hurt them, here they all stand before him pleading for his soul. Not to mention the emotional turmoil of the last ten years and all the events of the game: having killed Varric- who also cared enough to try talking him down- spending so much time in a prison made of regret, and finally killing the last of the false gods he's fought so long and hard against, which in and of itself has likely been both physically and mentally exhausting. It's the final battle. They're all exhausted, him especially, and yet, these people who he's grown to care so deeply for have rallied to offer him one last olive branch, even after everything. He finally sees that this won't fix his wrongdoings, no matter how much he wants it to. He finally sees that all of these people he's wronged forgive him. So he finally drops his burdens and leaves his plans behind, finally seeing how he can _actually_ atone for these people he loves- not by destroying the world, but by saving it.
@@bubblybobabubbles um, he literally proceeds with his plan in DAI despite us pleading AND for all he knows he kills Mythal with his own hands. Now one more time with a better reasoning. How is THIS more convincing than whatever was going on by the end of DAI?
@@toniyakovlev4403 You... totally missed my points, man. For Mythal, all he did was absorb her power. Since Dirthamen and Falondin were both pieces of a once-whole spirit, this didn't seem to be unheard of in ancient Elvhenan, so he probably knew what he was doing and knew he wasn't killing her. Plus he may have believed it was what she wanted. And since we know the fragments of Mythal are each different, and we know how Flemeth drilled it into her daughter how important past knowledge was to keep at any cost, it may have made it easier for him believe. Or maybe that fragment _did_ want the old world back, we really don't know what Flemythal's motivations were. Yes, the Inky already tried reasoning with him. But this time, there's more factors at play. Not only does the Inquisitor still care about him after so long, there's two more people he cares about- one of whom was the catalyst of all this in the first place- all standing before him at the same time and pleading with him. Despite him doing his best to push them away and keep distant, keep to his goals. Not to mention he's already emotionally exhausted and vulnerable. His resolve is already failing, it has been since Inquisition, and here are three important people all testing that already weakened resolve at a time when he's emotionally raw. In DAI, he likely expected the Inky to show up and ask him to stop. He prepared explanations and probably steeled himself to say no and stick to it. Plus, of course his friend/lover would ask him to end his plan. They don't know what he did, what he must atone for. But for that same friend/lover, who he abandoned, hurt, and betrayed, to once more offer their hand after a decade? After he killed their friend, to still have faith he can be better? To still care about him? For Rook, a respected partner and likely an unexpected friend who he JUST betrayed and tricked and mere days ago discovered he had killed their mentor, to have that same hope for him? To have seen his deepest and darkest regrets firsthand, and yet have faith he can move past them and be better? For Mythal, the catalyst in it all, the one he cared so much about and did all these horrendous things for, to tell him it's not completely his fault and not his burden to bear alone? For her to tell him to drop the emotional shackles to what he thinks she wants, and finally leave her behind? Of course all of that, especially at once, and especially after such a huge fight that left him physically and emotionally exhausted, finally got through. For all of these people he's wronged to still want him to be better? All of these people he's failed and betrayed to offer their hand even after everything he did and all these years? He didn't expect it, he was already wavering, already exhausted and raw. Each person chipped away at him until he finally saw what they did: his past wrongs could not be corrected by more death. It took all of them to get through to him. Rook didn't, the Inquisitor didn't. But with all three of them together, at such a vulnerable moment? Of course he finally realized his self-appointed penance wasn't the right thing to do. Especially with the one he was doing said penance for to begin with telling him he needed to let go of the guilt over her and what she asked him to do. How can a man look at a group of people who he cares about deeply, who still care about him despite all his sins that hurt them, and refuse their offered hand?
@@toniyakovlev4403 The way I see it is that his interactions with Rook make Solas reconsider his role in everything. Like, he is forced to confront what Mythal had him do and what was done to him as well. Solas never wanted to be a physical being, but he did so for Mythal, whom he loved. He always felt conflicted by what he felt was needed. It's clear from Trespessar. But the conflict alone was not enough to make him stop. He felt compelled to tear down the veil for many reasons. He truly did want to help the elves and restore what was taken from them. But his deepest reason was guilt for what happened to Mythal and the feeling of duty towards her. It is Mythal releasing him from that duty that breaks Solas's resolve.
Why are you complaining now and not when they killed her in Inquisition? Solas kills her and takes Mythals essence, and the other half goes to Morrigan.
@@FleekQueenLevyto be fair, that scene when Solas takes her power ends ambiguously enough to leave the door open for her to return. We don’t know if he ACTUALLY killed her or if he just took her power and left her unconscious and drained but alive. We’ve seen how crafty she is, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that whatever she sent through the eluvian could revive her, like the amulet she gave Hawke in DA2. The confirmation that Flemeth is indeed dead only just came out with Veilguard. Before now, I had hope Flemeth would return. She’s a fun character that they’ve used sparingly enough through all 3 games to make those rare appearances when she pops up feel important. Edit: and I’m really gonna miss Kate Mulgrew’s inclusion in the cast. When she was Captain Janeway she pulled out all the stops and chewed all the scenery to make ridiculous episodes on the holodeck A LOT of fun. There were definitely bits of Arachnia, Queen of the Spider People in Flemeth
Thats… kinda the point of Gray Wardens though. It’s why the countries of Thedas allow the Wardens to supercede even the justice system to pull condemned criminals off death row. Becoming a warden is a death sentence. The exact timing for everyone is different, but the Calling claims them all in the end… minus Fiona, they never explained what happened to her though, and she is so far unique in that regard. Even if the Hero of Ferelden took the bargain with Morrigan and survived the slaying of the Archdemon, the Calling will still come. Your Warden was never meant to be a series-spanning protagonist that vanquished evil from Thedas. That would have been boring, anyway. The other games may not have been to YOUR liking, but a lot of people in the community think that DA2 was the best game from a story perspective, even if it had room for improvement mechanically. There are also many in the community who think Inquisition is the best because it made combat faster and more interactive. They liked that the real antagonist of the game was standing by your side the entire time, helping you knock down a monster that he accidentally empowered enough to become a true world-ending threat. I like ALL of the games. They each bring something unique to the series. They all have something they excel at. Origins is a master class in world building. DA2’s focus on one city and one character led to the most cohesive-and darkest-story in the series. Inquisition opened up the world of Thedas to us for the first time. No longer was your protagonist limited to 1 specific region, the plot took you to many places previously only mentioned in codex entries and by other characters. Veilguard had to tie it all together and clear the stage for what comes next. It certainly did that, even if I personally don’t like the manner in how it happened.
From origins to inquisition Flemeth/Mythal is being build to be the big bad of the entire lore. I cant believe her story was ended like this. And what Sandal? He has completely vanished in the storylines
Mythal/Flemeth was NEVER being built up to be an antagonist. That was just a fan theory that never worked out. I never bought into it either, every time Flemeth/Mythal appeared in the game, she was HELPING people. She had served as guardian of the Gray Warden treaties, or did you think a spell of protection lasted all eternity and never faded? It’s WHY Flemeth chose to live where she did. She even rescued the future Champion of Kirkwall and his family from the Darkspawn. If you recall, she gave as her reason for intervening that she was impressed by the slaying of an ogre, and the courage displayed in facing death and fighting it to the last. She had done it out of KINDNESS. It was Hawke who pressed for more aid, and only THEN was the deal struck that he would deliver an amulet to a Dalish clan that was camped near Kirkwall. Mythal’s very NATURE even screamed “I’m not a villain”. She was the goddess of motherhood. Justice. Order. She could certainly be vicious, but only when PROVOKED. She also didn’t create the Blight. The Evanuris all SHARE that blame. She was murdered, however, for putting her foot down and DEMANDING the others stop using it. It was corrupting them and everything they touched. Ghilan’nain especially, which is why she gained the title “Mother of Monsters” Even the very reason Mythal found Flemeth reveals her nature. Mythal was drawn to the sorrow and betrayal Flemeth was feeling. The “Reckoning that would shake the very heavens” they were after was NEVER aimed at the people of Thedas. It was aimed at the guilty. The ones who used people like disposable trinkets in their games for gaining power. Even Morrigan was forced to admit in inquisition that she had gotten Flemeth wrong in Origins. If you import a world state into Inquisition where Kieran exists, this point gets made even more clearly, and you see the only example of Flemeth showing genuine emotion. It is regret. Regret for how she failed Morrigan as a mother. How she crafted her into a weapon, but never nurtured her as a daughter. It leads to a bit of a reconciliation between them. If you’ve never seen this interaction before, you should, it’s voiced and written beautifully. Flemeth is actually in the middle of toying with Morrigan and testing her personality and morality a bit when Morrigan strikes back with the truth. The truth about BOTH of them. “I may be MANY things. But I will NEVER be the mother YOU were to ME.” The words stagger Flemeth. Her face falls from amusement to pain, and sorrow. Her game ends, and she continues the conversation respectfully and candidly. This is when we all find out that a soul cannot be forced onto an unwilling person. Flemeth tells her she was never in danger from Flemeth, and neither is Kieran. She then instructs the Well of Sorrows to provide Morrigan with the knowledge she needs to neutralise Corypheus’s dragon, either through the Inquisitor or directly, depending on who drank from the well. So if I’m missing something here, some obvious flaw in my reasoning… point it out. Otherwise let’s not blame BioWare because our own pet theory wasn’t made canon. Edit: It was also Flemeth that first dropped the bomb about the Evanuris not actually being gods. It was cryptic, but the meaning is clear with hindsight. Go read the transcript of the conversation between Flemeth and Merrill in DA2.
It wouldn't have been as bad had they not done Varric dirty, no Hawke, no non-generic Inquisitor, and no funeral disturbingly disrespectful for Varric it was an abrupt and poorly thought out kill off. Terrible writing over 90% of the time. Not to mention hardly any memories of Solas and the world of elves, not fleshed out at all making the ending not as satisfying. Post scenes with Rook and other characters lacking.
Umm… the Inquisitor was definitely in this game. In person twice, or three times if you choose the Redemption ending, and throughout the whole game sending letters you can read in your “missives”. I mean… the Inquisitor is IN THIS CLIP YOU PUT THE COMMENT ON! 🤦🏻♂️ Name anyone else who got a funeral in the series. HoF does if you refuse Morrigan’s offer and slay the Archdemon yourself. Duncan didn’t. King Caelin didn’t. Flemeth didn’t. Harrowmont or Bhelen don’t. Branka doesn’t. The entire Ferelden Circle doesn’t if you support the Templars. Carver, Bethany, and Leandra don’t. Bartrand doesn’t. The Viscount of Kirkwall doesn’t. Anders doesn’t. Revered Mother Elthina doesn’t. Orsino doesn’t. The Champion of Kirkwall doesn’t if left in the Fade (although they are almost certainly alive still anyway), none of the wardens you kill at Adamant, or Clarel. Empress Celene and Grand Duke Gaspard don’t. I can keep going but I think I’ve made my point. Dragon Age just doesn’t really do funerals. Why would they? It’s tough to get something like that right in fiction. You aren’t complaining about any of the other people not getting one though. Some of them FAR more important than Varric to the people of Thedas.
Dragon age is dead, sadly. Even DAI feels much better than this “game”. They dont give a f about previous games…. And why should we care about this nonbinary stuff, when Thedas is dying 😭😭😭
The Veilguard absolutely does NOT deserve the scorn heaped upon it by many RUclips content creators. It IS a terrific Dragon Age game. Just because this game allows a pronoun choice, a top surgery scar selection and discussions about gender identity for ONE character......a few people lost their damned minds? Really pathetic that they didn't just move on.
@@chuckwells62 If Dragon Age Origins came out today it would have the same reaction by the "gamers" and same with Mass Effect. People have lost their minds and can't even enjoy a game.
@@chuckwells62 uh huh, akshually… Taash is not the only problem, i fear. I dont feel any kind of connection with my companions at all! What have they done to Harding? She is not the same Harding from Inquision, its a completely different person. My problem with this game is what it feels like the previous games does not exist. The story is off, the Crows are good people now(remember Zevran? Forget about him, the creators of this game say he is a redflag 🤡🤡🤡) So no, the pronouns are not a break deal for me, but this is not the Dragon age we’ve been waiting 10 years for.
@@chuckwells62 terrific is a stretch, but i have played the whole game start to finish and I can say I liked it. It was about a 7/10 for me. I like the lore, the core story premise, and the world you get to explore. I mostly enjoyed the gameplay as well. The part that took a big hit was the characters and dialogue, which dragged it down to a 7 for me. Had the dialogue been good, this would have been a terrific game. I enjoyed it for what it was as I predicted I would and since I heavily prioritize lore and core story, I got what I wanted out of this game, but I can totally see how those who prioritize characters were completely let down.
@@chuckwells62It doesn't allow discussion. You can't disagree with the qunari woman about it or even tell her you dont give a shit about her gender prattle. It isnt even an RPG, your choices mean nothing until the final few hours and you can't be evil or morally grey
This was so disappointing when I got the option. Like he didn't consider Flemeth to be Mythal enough, or any other fragment, but this fragment was enough for him to finally stop. Even after killing his friend. I really loved Solas and this game made me hate him as a one dimension character.
Perhaps I can help redeem Solas in your eyes a little. First, after he awoke just before the events of Inquisition start, he was more or less powerless. He couldn’t even unlock the power within his focus. He wouldn’t have been able to sense if Mythal was around, and he went to sleep after she was cut down by the other Evanuris. He thought she was dead. No reason to assume otherwise. The moment he finds out is actually in a main story quest in Inquisition. I have a suspicion that if Mythal had died, the knowledge in the Well of Sorrows would have been lost too. As soon as Solas sees the Well is intact and functioning, he knows. “So, Mythal endures” At this point in the timeline, Mythal is split into 2 distinct uh… beings? Spirits? Not sure what to call it. Flemeth carries Mythal within her, yes. But this is not ALL of her. Flemeth inherited her knowledge and power, but the bulk of her personality still remained within the Fade. It was Flemeth’s ANGER that drew Mythal to her. Anger and betrayal. The emotions matched her own her anger at her murder and betrayal by the other Evanuris. In the room Flemeth had been jailed in, the anger of Mythal found a kindred spirit. Her outrage and thirst for vengeance and knowledge fused with Flemeth and “The Witch of the Wilds” was born. After Morrigan or the Inquisitor drink from the well, Flemeth knows Solas has awakened. Ever the pragmatist, she assumed he would come for her once the crisis of the breach was resolved. I think she had an inkling of what his plans were, so she created a sort of “insurance policy”. Just before Solas is able to track her down, you see Flemeth sending something through an Eluvian. We now know this was her sending ANOTHER fragment of her soul to Morrigan. This fragment had no will of its own. It was simply Mythal’s memories. She knew Morrigan would NEVER relinquish her free will, she would not sell her freedom for power. This spark of Mythal was entirely benign. So, during the events of Trespasser Mythal is now in THREE distinct essences. Solas has her power and the essence of her anger, Morrigan has her knowledge, and that third bit is still in hiding in the Fade. This state of affairs carries on for the next 10 years. As soon as Solas makes his move to tear down the veil, Morrigan knows the time for Mythal to intervene one last time has arrived. She guides Rook in uncovering fragments of memory left behind by Solas about the start of his rebellion and his war on the Evanuris. When she is satisfied Rook can properly understand the threat Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain pose, and that Rook understands Mythal and her personality enough to have a real chance of gaining her aid, she drops the last Mythal bombshell. The third fragment of Mythal, the Goddess aspect of her personality, exists and may be of use in stopping the rampaging gods. It is also extremely dangerous because Mythal was never really known for her patience or tolerance for weak-minded fools. If Rook does not show this fragment the utmost respect, and he does not understand Mythal’s motivations well enough to craft a compelling argument to win her over, she will attempt to kill them for wasting her time. This fragment of Mythal is what the lyrium statuette contains. So… Solas did not KNOW Mythal was alive. His giving his orb to Corypheus prevented him from pursuing Flemeth immediately after discovering the Well of Sorrows, he would not walk away from the Inquisition now, Corypheus was HIS fault after all. Just like Corypheus though, Solas did not possess the strength to tear the veil open on his own. He needed his foci, his orb that gave the Inquisitor the Anchor. This plan was now impossible though, for the foci had been destroyed in the battle with Corypheus. He would need to find a way to come into some serious power. There was only 1 source within his reach. His justification for claiming Mythal’s power as his own was the people. The elves still NEEDED Solas to save them. This clearly wasn’t a priority for Mythal though, since she had been around for CENTURIES and never once tried to make herself known to the elves, never intervened in their affairs. He knew Mythal would still endure, even if he killed her vessel. It would take a long time, but she would one day return, and when she did she would return to a world that had been corrected, a world with no veil.
i would say worse dragon age game. by itself 5 out 10 for me but as a sequel it's absolute dogshit and who ever had any part of this should have their fingers broken
I will never get over how solas is so prideful and witty but bows his head in front of the inquisitor and always sincere. the respect , the admiration . romanced or high approval that relationship is so special.
Seriously. And I love how the friendship path has him thanking the Inquisitor too. Idk what it is, as moving as the romance path is, I love the friendship path so much more. My Inquisitor never gave up on his dear friend, and the whole reason the Veilguard exists is because of that refusal to accept Solas as a lost cause. Just. The whole friendship between them means so much to me and I cried just as much for this ending as the romance one. Maybe more so cause the friendship one is my canon path.
@@BraenaWolfI think I prefer the respect story over the romanced one myself, although the romance path does end up giving you interesting bits of lore earlier on in Inquisition than you would otherwise learn about them, like how the Dalish have gotten the meaning of the vallaslin wrong.
It makes Solas’s actions in Trespasser feel more genuine. Of course Solas would want to help someone he loves one last time before he wanders off to end existence. But by giving a friend-inquisitor a little nudge in the direction of uncovering the Qunari plot, while also leading them step-by-step to their “final” meeting just so he could save the Inquisitor’s life makes you appreciate just how much their friendship actually means to Solas. Knowing what we know now about his past, it might be the only TRUE friendship Solas has ever known.
So at least for me, Solas making the choice in the end to hear the words of the Inquisitor, and to choose to bind himself to the veil ALSO marks a new beginning for Solas himself. Mythal, the Evanuris, even the Dread Wolf himself can be put to rest and become part of his past. It casts his farewell remark about finally being able to see the way in a slightly new light, too.
It’s probably the first decision Solas has ever made with complete free will, and it was influenced by his bond with the Inquisitor. Literally showing him the way forward.
There are some versions where Solas and the Inqusitor never developed a friendship.
Veilguard may have a LOT of flaws… but this ending isn’t one of them. It’s truly satisfying
Nah, it ruins much as well.
How? To me it was perfect, I am curious as to how it ruins anything though@@Hierarch_Artanis
I had my issues with this game, but the last hour felt like prime Bioware.
I waited 10 years for this moment alone.
First time I noticed this even though I’ve watched this a LOT. It’s subtle but important.
0:48
Redemption Solas trusts Rook. So much so he takes what Rook says about not wanting to fight at face value. He lowers the hand he was going to use in a fight against him, and his posture shifts from adversarial to relaxed, even though Rook still has a weapon that could bind Solas to the Veil and prevent it from falling.
It’s funny, for the god of lies he sure does like to trust people lol. The look on his face too, as he lowers his hand. A mix of like regret, despair, and relief.
I loved this scenes. Hear solas theme broke my heart.
This is enough reason for me to play this game. Not everyone will understand
It's called "closure"
i understand you. :)
I also understand you :)
The ending content is the best written part of the game. It feels like they switched writers towards the end.
@@Timothy1395 it would be a masterpiece if the entire game was like the like last few hours and def GOTY material
I cried like a baby when that trespasser music kicked in. This was such a beautifully executed ending. Thank you so much Bioware. While I have my issues with this game, I am glad it ended so damned well, it made the decade long wait worth it
Solas, my brother. I will save you one day
So you are a giver.
I was bawling for the last couple of hours of this game man. this ending was soooo moving.
Is there an ending where you can side with Solas and destroy the world?

No, and it wouldn't make sense, as there couldn't be a sequel.
If this game was good, that is.
No! That would be mean and this game dislikes mean things!
The absolute best ending
Its sad because my mage in inquisition take the power of Mythal instead of Morrigan… and now my choice was erased
We don't know if the Well of Sorrows held a piece of Mythal or not, but regardless, Morrigan's Mythal soul isn't the one from the Well anyway. It's the one from Flemeth. She appeared to Morrigan as her mother, after all. Solas stole her power in Inquisition, but I Morrigan states he didn't take her soul/memories, which sought her out as a vessel instead. Which tracks since that's kinda what Flemeth/Mythal was doing in DAO, passing the spirit through her daughters. It doesn't have anything to do with the Well.
@@bubblybobabubbleswe saw literaly the Spirit of Mythal goign through the eluvian 😅
The well of sorrows in completely separate from Morrigan inheriting Mythal. The well of sorrows was just the knowledge passed down by the head priests of Mythal, that can go to either Morrigan or the Inquisitor. Flemeth, regardless of the well of sorrows, sends the wisp of Mythal to Morrigan.
@@exnihilonihilum2318 .....Yeah? We actually don't know what she was doing with the eluvian, but even if you're completely correct, I don't see how its relevant. From how I read your comment you're acting like you disproved my point when you didn't. If anything you reinforced it because you just cited more evidence on the fact the spirit of Mythal is seperate from the Well...
@@bubblybobabubbles I dont finish Veilguard yet so Maybe im missing some part but the way how i feel my playthrough with my mage inquisitor is i have the well. So my inquisitor take the gift of the well and then Bioware decide to just erased that part of the story I’ve made.
Its just the first dragon age where what I do have completly no impact and I feel that sad and its bad to my opinion Thats all
I’m still mad we didn’t have the option to side with him. I WANT the old world restored.
Lol same.
Yeah, that really sucked.
A lot of minimal effort was put into parts of this game that deserved way more love and attention.
I think I would have rather Solas succeed in restoring the old world at the start of the game, and spending the first act trying to help restore order in the newly changed world. Humans finding a way to survive in a world they we're supposed to.
Are you mad that Origins didn't give you an option to let the Darkspawn win?
It would mean your character's death you naive fool 🤣🤣
I want to see Solas collapse the veil also that I amy discover how fantastic reality was when blended with the fade itself.
Things may have turned out worse than Solas had imagined they would for his people specifically once the Veil was in place, but you know he did it for a REASON, right?
Imagine a worldwide Tevinter Magisterium where the rulers were immortal, far more powerful, and far LESS caring. Enslaving entire races for fun. Slaying fantastic creatures because they can. Treating the world like a plaything.
You ACTUALLY want that? Immortal, all-powerful tyrants with insane egos and no care for other living things. Not even for the other Evanuris. That’s what you want?
I never even finished the game because I hated the characters/story so much. However I will give them credit - this is an absolutely fantastic ending. Whenever I play through the Trespasser ending this is exactly what I imagined the follow-up would be.
I wish there was more interaction between Solas and the Inquisitor considering the history/friendship they share together. But overall well done Bioware. If only you got the other 99% of the game correct.
I need the ost here, it's a variation of the lost elf theme
It was a good touch to use Solas' Tresspasser theme. This could have been an amazing finale to the Dragon Age saga if Bioware had more competent writers and actually focused on making this game an epic instead of using it as a platform to preach their personal beliefs
Where did they do that?
@@theatlantean8036 The age old battle of people who think that the issues of today, didn't exist yesterday. Its so sad that this game has gotten all the vitriol about the LGBTQ representation, when Dragon Age has done that in all of its games. And the same battles we fight today were fought in those days. Allowing queer romances, having characters that are endogenous. In many ways the series is a representation of this.
And absolutely none of it has anything to do with EA/Bioware's C-suite team forcing them to make Anthem... or trying to force them to make this a multiplayer game... or repeatedly shooting down the things they wanted to do... or firing most of the lead writers and constantly replacing the development heads and basically stalling the game's development... it's all just The Queers...
@@trenchcoatkitty Dragon age has always been inclusive lmao, cry more
@@theatlantean8036 i am agreeing with you??? it was meant to be sarcasm to the OP up there who thinks that bad writing is because of The LGBTS and not any of the issues I mentioned...
So, what happens to the elves? 👀
Back to the alienage where they belong
@@zinanmo lmao
Depends on your actions in Inquisition, actually.
If you are an elven Inquisitor, AND you install Briala as the power behind the throne in “Wicked Eyes, Wicked Hearts” the people of Orlais are so thankful for The Inquisitor restoring peace and stability to Thedas that they more or less accept her rule so long as the world still thinks Gaspard is actually in command.
If your Inquisitor is NOT an elf, things don’t go nearly as well for Briala or the elves of Orlais if she is installed as the power behind the throne.
The absolute best outcome for the elves is if the Inquisitor reconciles Celene and Briala. With the civil war over, and the threat of Corypheus handled, Celene embarks on a program of reforming Orlais, and part of this reform is that elves are no longer second class citizens of the empire.
If Celene rules alone, or Gaspard rules, the situation of the elves does not change.
I'm upset we never get to meet the other 5 evanuris. We should be able to talk to June at the very least if we chose to make the old god baby
ok, but how is this more convincing for solas than the combination of DAI and Tressasser?
I see you don’t read lore entries.
Many reasons. Not only is the Inquisitor, who clearly still loves him/cares about him despite everything, once more pleading with him- when, especially as a romanced Inky, already significantly weakened his resolve during DAI to the point he almost _did_ give up on his plan- Rook, who he has grown to care about and respect, and a piece of Mythal, a long lost friend who was the first domino to fall all those years ago, have all come together to convince him. He has felt so alone, has hated himself so deeply, and yet here are all of these people, fighting for him. No matter how hard he tried to shove them all away, no matter how he hurt them, here they all stand before him pleading for his soul.
Not to mention the emotional turmoil of the last ten years and all the events of the game: having killed Varric- who also cared enough to try talking him down- spending so much time in a prison made of regret, and finally killing the last of the false gods he's fought so long and hard against, which in and of itself has likely been both physically and mentally exhausting.
It's the final battle. They're all exhausted, him especially, and yet, these people who he's grown to care so deeply for have rallied to offer him one last olive branch, even after everything. He finally sees that this won't fix his wrongdoings, no matter how much he wants it to. He finally sees that all of these people he's wronged forgive him. So he finally drops his burdens and leaves his plans behind, finally seeing how he can _actually_ atone for these people he loves- not by destroying the world, but by saving it.
@@bubblybobabubbles um, he literally proceeds with his plan in DAI despite us pleading AND for all he knows he kills Mythal with his own hands.
Now one more time with a better reasoning. How is THIS more convincing than whatever was going on by the end of DAI?
@@toniyakovlev4403 You... totally missed my points, man.
For Mythal, all he did was absorb her power. Since Dirthamen and Falondin were both pieces of a once-whole spirit, this didn't seem to be unheard of in ancient Elvhenan, so he probably knew what he was doing and knew he wasn't killing her. Plus he may have believed it was what she wanted. And since we know the fragments of Mythal are each different, and we know how Flemeth drilled it into her daughter how important past knowledge was to keep at any cost, it may have made it easier for him believe. Or maybe that fragment _did_ want the old world back, we really don't know what Flemythal's motivations were.
Yes, the Inky already tried reasoning with him. But this time, there's more factors at play. Not only does the Inquisitor still care about him after so long, there's two more people he cares about- one of whom was the catalyst of all this in the first place- all standing before him at the same time and pleading with him. Despite him doing his best to push them away and keep distant, keep to his goals. Not to mention he's already emotionally exhausted and vulnerable. His resolve is already failing, it has been since Inquisition, and here are three important people all testing that already weakened resolve at a time when he's emotionally raw.
In DAI, he likely expected the Inky to show up and ask him to stop. He prepared explanations and probably steeled himself to say no and stick to it. Plus, of course his friend/lover would ask him to end his plan. They don't know what he did, what he must atone for. But for that same friend/lover, who he abandoned, hurt, and betrayed, to once more offer their hand after a decade? After he killed their friend, to still have faith he can be better? To still care about him?
For Rook, a respected partner and likely an unexpected friend who he JUST betrayed and tricked and mere days ago discovered he had killed their mentor, to have that same hope for him? To have seen his deepest and darkest regrets firsthand, and yet have faith he can move past them and be better?
For Mythal, the catalyst in it all, the one he cared so much about and did all these horrendous things for, to tell him it's not completely his fault and not his burden to bear alone? For her to tell him to drop the emotional shackles to what he thinks she wants, and finally leave her behind?
Of course all of that, especially at once, and especially after such a huge fight that left him physically and emotionally exhausted, finally got through. For all of these people he's wronged to still want him to be better? All of these people he's failed and betrayed to offer their hand even after everything he did and all these years? He didn't expect it, he was already wavering, already exhausted and raw. Each person chipped away at him until he finally saw what they did: his past wrongs could not be corrected by more death.
It took all of them to get through to him. Rook didn't, the Inquisitor didn't. But with all three of them together, at such a vulnerable moment? Of course he finally realized his self-appointed penance wasn't the right thing to do. Especially with the one he was doing said penance for to begin with telling him he needed to let go of the guilt over her and what she asked him to do.
How can a man look at a group of people who he cares about deeply, who still care about him despite all his sins that hurt them, and refuse their offered hand?
@@toniyakovlev4403 The way I see it is that his interactions with Rook make Solas reconsider his role in everything. Like, he is forced to confront what Mythal had him do and what was done to him as well. Solas never wanted to be a physical being, but he did so for Mythal, whom he loved. He always felt conflicted by what he felt was needed. It's clear from Trespessar. But the conflict alone was not enough to make him stop. He felt compelled to tear down the veil for many reasons. He truly did want to help the elves and restore what was taken from them. But his deepest reason was guilt for what happened to Mythal and the feeling of duty towards her. It is Mythal releasing him from that duty that breaks Solas's resolve.
Seems this franchise is just out to destroy the elves altogether.
Thank god. Now they can concentrate on other races. I’m sick and tired of elves.
The only acceptable writing in this game
So, it's a repetition of inquisition, but unlike Corypheus there's a chance to redeem Solas.
so... just choose between Inquisition or Veilguard... or maybe just replay Origins lmao
@@ziephel-6780 Oh, I'm certainly not buying this one!
@Balinux756 Loghain is far more compelling than Solas honestly.
Not the same as inquisition at all.
Did.... did we play the same Inquisition?
Did his arm grow back
Have you ever heard the term prosthetics? What you're seeing in The Inquisitor is a prosthetic arm
Writing off flemeth is not okay
Why are you complaining now and not when they killed her in Inquisition? Solas kills her and takes Mythals essence, and the other half goes to Morrigan.
@@FleekQueenLevyto be fair, that scene when Solas takes her power ends ambiguously enough to leave the door open for her to return. We don’t know if he ACTUALLY killed her or if he just took her power and left her unconscious and drained but alive.
We’ve seen how crafty she is, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that whatever she sent through the eluvian could revive her, like the amulet she gave Hawke in DA2.
The confirmation that Flemeth is indeed dead only just came out with Veilguard. Before now, I had hope Flemeth would return. She’s a fun character that they’ve used sparingly enough through all 3 games to make those rare appearances when she pops up feel important.
Edit: and I’m really gonna miss Kate Mulgrew’s inclusion in the cast. When she was Captain Janeway she pulled out all the stops and chewed all the scenery to make ridiculous episodes on the holodeck A LOT of fun.
There were definitely bits of Arachnia, Queen of the Spider People in Flemeth
How many evil endings does Baldur's Gate 3 have now?
@CliffordTaylor-w7x Like how many though?
Will Solas pull a barv?
Rather a barf
I like it a lot more with Solavelan ending because the romance scene in tresspasser was great.
I feel like this doesn’t quite hit the same unless your Lavellan romanced him
Speak for yourself. I cried like a baby
Im sorry but not one of these games is good after origins, origins had a main character that they just threw away after 1 game
Thats… kinda the point of Gray Wardens though. It’s why the countries of Thedas allow the Wardens to supercede even the justice system to pull condemned criminals off death row.
Becoming a warden is a death sentence. The exact timing for everyone is different, but the Calling claims them all in the end… minus Fiona, they never explained what happened to her though, and she is so far unique in that regard.
Even if the Hero of Ferelden took the bargain with Morrigan and survived the slaying of the Archdemon, the Calling will still come.
Your Warden was never meant to be a series-spanning protagonist that vanquished evil from Thedas.
That would have been boring, anyway. The other games may not have been to YOUR liking, but a lot of people in the community think that DA2 was the best game from a story perspective, even if it had room for improvement mechanically.
There are also many in the community who think Inquisition is the best because it made combat faster and more interactive. They liked that the real antagonist of the game was standing by your side the entire time, helping you knock down a monster that he accidentally empowered enough to become a true world-ending threat.
I like ALL of the games. They each bring something unique to the series. They all have something they excel at. Origins is a master class in world building. DA2’s focus on one city and one character led to the most cohesive-and darkest-story in the series. Inquisition opened up the world of Thedas to us for the first time. No longer was your protagonist limited to 1 specific region, the plot took you to many places previously only mentioned in codex entries and by other characters. Veilguard had to tie it all together and clear the stage for what comes next. It certainly did that, even if I personally don’t like the manner in how it happened.
Setting is dead, game is silly, writing is worse than fanfic.
From origins to inquisition Flemeth/Mythal is being build to be the big bad of the entire lore. I cant believe her story was ended like this. And what Sandal? He has completely vanished in the storylines
I mean she created the blight so she is technically a big bad of the lore but she was also killed twice and fractured for thousands of years.
On the contrary, now we know what he really is.
Mythal/Flemeth was NEVER being built up to be an antagonist. That was just a fan theory that never worked out. I never bought into it either, every time Flemeth/Mythal appeared in the game, she was HELPING people.
She had served as guardian of the Gray Warden treaties, or did you think a spell of protection lasted all eternity and never faded? It’s WHY Flemeth chose to live where she did.
She even rescued the future Champion of Kirkwall and his family from the Darkspawn. If you recall, she gave as her reason for intervening that she was impressed by the slaying of an ogre, and the courage displayed in facing death and fighting it to the last. She had done it out of KINDNESS. It was Hawke who pressed for more aid, and only THEN was the deal struck that he would deliver an amulet to a Dalish clan that was camped near Kirkwall.
Mythal’s very NATURE even screamed “I’m not a villain”. She was the goddess of motherhood. Justice. Order. She could certainly be vicious, but only when PROVOKED.
She also didn’t create the Blight. The Evanuris all SHARE that blame. She was murdered, however, for putting her foot down and DEMANDING the others stop using it. It was corrupting them and everything they touched. Ghilan’nain especially, which is why she gained the title “Mother of Monsters”
Even the very reason Mythal found Flemeth reveals her nature. Mythal was drawn to the sorrow and betrayal Flemeth was feeling.
The “Reckoning that would shake the very heavens” they were after was NEVER aimed at the people of Thedas. It was aimed at the guilty. The ones who used people like disposable trinkets in their games for gaining power.
Even Morrigan was forced to admit in inquisition that she had gotten Flemeth wrong in Origins.
If you import a world state into Inquisition where Kieran exists, this point gets made even more clearly, and you see the only example of Flemeth showing genuine emotion. It is regret. Regret for how she failed Morrigan as a mother. How she crafted her into a weapon, but never nurtured her as a daughter. It leads to a bit of a reconciliation between them.
If you’ve never seen this interaction before, you should, it’s voiced and written beautifully. Flemeth is actually in the middle of toying with Morrigan and testing her personality and morality a bit when Morrigan strikes back with the truth. The truth about BOTH of them.
“I may be MANY things. But I will NEVER be the mother YOU were to ME.”
The words stagger Flemeth. Her face falls from amusement to pain, and sorrow. Her game ends, and she continues the conversation respectfully and candidly. This is when we all find out that a soul cannot be forced onto an unwilling person. Flemeth tells her she was never in danger from Flemeth, and neither is Kieran. She then instructs the Well of Sorrows to provide Morrigan with the knowledge she needs to neutralise Corypheus’s dragon, either through the Inquisitor or directly, depending on who drank from the well.
So if I’m missing something here, some obvious flaw in my reasoning… point it out. Otherwise let’s not blame BioWare because our own pet theory wasn’t made canon.
Edit: It was also Flemeth that first dropped the bomb about the Evanuris not actually being gods. It was cryptic, but the meaning is clear with hindsight. Go read the transcript of the conversation between Flemeth and Merrill in DA2.
It wouldn't have been as bad had they not done Varric dirty, no Hawke, no non-generic Inquisitor, and no funeral disturbingly disrespectful for Varric it was an abrupt and poorly thought out kill off. Terrible writing over 90% of the time.
Not to mention hardly any memories of Solas and the world of elves, not fleshed out at all making the ending not as satisfying. Post scenes with Rook and other characters lacking.
Umm… the Inquisitor was definitely in this game. In person twice, or three times if you choose the Redemption ending, and throughout the whole game sending letters you can read in your “missives”. I mean… the Inquisitor is IN THIS CLIP YOU PUT THE COMMENT ON! 🤦🏻♂️
Name anyone else who got a funeral in the series. HoF does if you refuse Morrigan’s offer and slay the Archdemon yourself.
Duncan didn’t. King Caelin didn’t. Flemeth didn’t. Harrowmont or Bhelen don’t. Branka doesn’t. The entire Ferelden Circle doesn’t if you support the Templars. Carver, Bethany, and Leandra don’t. Bartrand doesn’t. The Viscount of Kirkwall doesn’t. Anders doesn’t. Revered Mother Elthina doesn’t. Orsino doesn’t. The Champion of Kirkwall doesn’t if left in the Fade (although they are almost certainly alive still anyway), none of the wardens you kill at Adamant, or Clarel. Empress Celene and Grand Duke Gaspard don’t.
I can keep going but I think I’ve made my point.
Dragon Age just doesn’t really do funerals. Why would they? It’s tough to get something like that right in fiction. You aren’t complaining about any of the other people not getting one though. Some of them FAR more important than Varric to the people of Thedas.
@mattphoenix4702 Not really, when I said no inquisitor I mean mine, not a painfully generic one..
The game did poorly and we all know why.
Dragon age is dead, sadly. Even DAI feels much better than this “game”. They dont give a f about previous games…. And why should we care about this nonbinary stuff, when Thedas is dying 😭😭😭
The Veilguard absolutely does NOT deserve the scorn heaped upon it by many RUclips content creators. It IS a terrific Dragon Age game. Just because this game allows a pronoun choice, a top surgery scar selection and discussions about gender identity for ONE character......a few people lost their damned minds? Really pathetic that they didn't just move on.
@@chuckwells62 If Dragon Age Origins came out today it would have the same reaction by the "gamers" and same with Mass Effect. People have lost their minds and can't even enjoy a game.
@@chuckwells62 uh huh, akshually… Taash is not the only problem, i fear. I dont feel any kind of connection with my companions at all! What have they done to Harding? She is not the same Harding from Inquision, its a completely different person.

So no, the pronouns are not a break deal for me, but this is not the Dragon age we’ve been waiting 10 years for.
@@chuckwells62 terrific is a stretch, but i have played the whole game start to finish and I can say I liked it. It was about a 7/10 for me. I like the lore, the core story premise, and the world you get to explore. I mostly enjoyed the gameplay as well.
The part that took a big hit was the characters and dialogue, which dragged it down to a 7 for me. Had the dialogue been good, this would have been a terrific game. I enjoyed it for what it was as I predicted I would and since I heavily prioritize lore and core story, I got what I wanted out of this game, but I can totally see how those who prioritize characters were completely let down.
@@chuckwells62It doesn't allow discussion. You can't disagree with the qunari woman about it or even tell her you dont give a shit about her gender prattle. It isnt even an RPG, your choices mean nothing until the final few hours and you can't be evil or morally grey
This was so disappointing when I got the option. Like he didn't consider Flemeth to be Mythal enough, or any other fragment, but this fragment was enough for him to finally stop. Even after killing his friend. I really loved Solas and this game made me hate him as a one dimension character.
Perhaps I can help redeem Solas in your eyes a little.
First, after he awoke just before the events of Inquisition start, he was more or less powerless. He couldn’t even unlock the power within his focus. He wouldn’t have been able to sense if Mythal was around, and he went to sleep after she was cut down by the other Evanuris. He thought she was dead. No reason to assume otherwise.
The moment he finds out is actually in a main story quest in Inquisition. I have a suspicion that if Mythal had died, the knowledge in the Well of Sorrows would have been lost too. As soon as Solas sees the Well is intact and functioning, he knows. “So, Mythal endures”
At this point in the timeline, Mythal is split into 2 distinct uh… beings? Spirits? Not sure what to call it.
Flemeth carries Mythal within her, yes. But this is not ALL of her. Flemeth inherited her knowledge and power, but the bulk of her personality still remained within the Fade. It was Flemeth’s ANGER that drew Mythal to her. Anger and betrayal. The emotions matched her own her anger at her murder and betrayal by the other Evanuris. In the room Flemeth had been jailed in, the anger of Mythal found a kindred spirit. Her outrage and thirst for vengeance and knowledge fused with Flemeth and “The Witch of the Wilds” was born.
After Morrigan or the Inquisitor drink from the well, Flemeth knows Solas has awakened. Ever the pragmatist, she assumed he would come for her once the crisis of the breach was resolved. I think she had an inkling of what his plans were, so she created a sort of “insurance policy”.
Just before Solas is able to track her down, you see Flemeth sending something through an Eluvian. We now know this was her sending ANOTHER fragment of her soul to Morrigan. This fragment had no will of its own. It was simply Mythal’s memories. She knew Morrigan would NEVER relinquish her free will, she would not sell her freedom for power. This spark of Mythal was entirely benign.
So, during the events of Trespasser Mythal is now in THREE distinct essences. Solas has her power and the essence of her anger, Morrigan has her knowledge, and that third bit is still in hiding in the Fade.
This state of affairs carries on for the next 10 years. As soon as Solas makes his move to tear down the veil, Morrigan knows the time for Mythal to intervene one last time has arrived.
She guides Rook in uncovering fragments of memory left behind by Solas about the start of his rebellion and his war on the Evanuris. When she is satisfied Rook can properly understand the threat Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain pose, and that Rook understands Mythal and her personality enough to have a real chance of gaining her aid, she drops the last Mythal bombshell.
The third fragment of Mythal, the Goddess aspect of her personality, exists and may be of use in stopping the rampaging gods. It is also extremely dangerous because Mythal was never really known for her patience or tolerance for weak-minded fools. If Rook does not show this fragment the utmost respect, and he does not understand Mythal’s motivations well enough to craft a compelling argument to win her over, she will attempt to kill them for wasting her time.
This fragment of Mythal is what the lyrium statuette contains.
So… Solas did not KNOW Mythal was alive. His giving his orb to Corypheus prevented him from pursuing Flemeth immediately after discovering the Well of Sorrows, he would not walk away from the Inquisition now, Corypheus was HIS fault after all.
Just like Corypheus though, Solas did not possess the strength to tear the veil open on his own. He needed his foci, his orb that gave the Inquisitor the Anchor. This plan was now impossible though, for the foci had been destroyed in the battle with Corypheus. He would need to find a way to come into some serious power. There was only 1 source within his reach.
His justification for claiming Mythal’s power as his own was the people. The elves still NEEDED Solas to save them. This clearly wasn’t a priority for Mythal though, since she had been around for CENTURIES and never once tried to make herself known to the elves, never intervened in their affairs. He knew Mythal would still endure, even if he killed her vessel. It would take a long time, but she would one day return, and when she did she would return to a world that had been corrected, a world with no veil.
That made no sense at all.
Mabye if you actually played the game it would😅
Oh dear. Viewing something out of context isn’t making sense. How shocking.
Worst. Game. Ever.
i would say worse dragon age game. by itself 5 out 10 for me but as a sequel it's absolute dogshit and who ever had any part of this should have their fingers broken
cmon man, you probably still can't get past the fact they made one character non binary
