I’m obsessed with Solas’ look in the gameplay reveal.

He spent 10 years off the grid, holed up in his hideout in the Fade, plotting his next big plan that’s going to inevitably flop so hard and then showed up in Minrathous in a new fit, a full beat, microbladed brows and the newest Fenty lip gloss

1/8/2018 • first day of work and i managed to find a book i started reading last year, but didn’t have time to finish, ‘the name of the rose’ by umberto eco. hopefully i’ll finish it this time!

HUGE FAN of Daniel Craig’s Bond movies giving us older Bond/younger Q dynamic and IOI’s 007: First Light giving us younger Bond/older Q dynamic. Both are equally delicious to me because there are just so many possibilites

Listening to Solas in the gameplay reveal trailer makes me a bit crazy because while I know it’s Gareth David-Lloyd’s voice and he sounds like the Solas I’ve grown to recognise, there is still something a little bit off about his voice.

It sounds more rough and generally more exhausted, like he’s either been screaming for hours or has not spoken in a while.

I took the liberty of recording every moment in the gameplay reveal trailer where Solas speaks and-

All I’m going to say - GDL’s throat must have been raw as hell after this

I’m a simple woman. I see a spy action hero and his gadget IT guy and I make them kiss in my mind

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats the confrontation with Solas at the end of Trespasser.

After two years filled with uncertainty and confusion, after battling through Qunari forces and slowly putting the pieces of what happened to the Old Gods together, to finally face Solas, Fen’Harel, almost feels like a breath of fresh air.

Yes, it’s painful. Yes, it’s frustrating. Listening to Solas’ explanation of the past and his plans for the future is difficult and it hurts.

But it almost feels cathartic - after so much anger, frustration and confusion, everything is finally making sense, the fog of ignorance clears. The pain tastes almost delicious, sweet, a little bitter on the edges.

I wish for the same or at least similar confrontation between the Inquisitor and Solas in DAV.

Give me all the buildup, give me the pain, give me the catharsis.

I can’t help but wonder how the whole ordeal with the Well of Sorrows will come into play in DAV, if it even will. Mostly because I feel like it definitely should have an impact, considering what happened to Mythal.

Mythal might be dead, her soul potentially consumed by Solas who is now somehow in possession of it. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong and there’s more information I’m missing)

What if the fact that the Inquisitor (who we know will definitely be in DAV) drank from the Well means Mythal’s soul could be transferred into her body by Solas like some form of betrayal.

And if the Inquisitor did not drink and Morrigan does not return to the game, this threat practically disappears, because Solas is unable to track her down.

I just feel like there are so many possibilies of how it could go down!

A fun fact about me is that I love Gareth David-Lloyd as Solas so much that back at university I used parts of Solas’ banter in my Phonetics final
