Love him or hate him, Solas is smart. His behavior throughout Inquisition was so air-tight that no companion could crack into him, even if they had moments of suspicion.Inquisition is worth playing more than once, just to experience Solas from a new perspective. The way he carries himself through the story without anyone realizing who he really is and what he is trying to do can put even the Solas haters in awe. Everything he says suddenly has new meaning.However, there are some moments when Solas nearly cracks and blows his cover. Nearly.Updated on August 26, 2021 by Jamie Pellikaan: With Dragon Age 4 seemingly so close yet so far away, many players are re-experiencing the wonders and magic that is Dragon Age: Inquisition. By now, Solas’ betrayal and ultimate reveal as the elven god Fen’harel is much less of a shock than it is the result of excellent foreshadowing done by the writers. Solas either intentionally, or by accident, almost shatters his carefully constructed mask of a lonely hermit mage. Whether through out-of-context comments or his strange behavior throughout the main questline, we've added even more times we all should have seen what Solas was truly up to.
14 When He Killed Mওages Out ꦍof Grief And Anger
During his personal quest, All New Faded For Her, Solas shows an angry side of himself that players do not see often. In fact, unless stopped by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Inquisitor, he kills mages that summoned a spirit and turned her into a demon. The mages were not exactly bad p𝕴eople; they were just ignorant of what they were real🍸ly doing.
Despite that, Solas was ready to end their lives for what they did. In a sense, this is a huge clue to Solas's hidden nature. Ignorance is not a valid excuse for those who took away what he loved. In that sense, he showed he is not afraid to kill (mostly) 🐼innocent people.
13 Accurately Predicts Every Move The Vil♈lain Makes
It takes a villain to know a villain. If spoken to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:every step of the way through the ploꦿt, Solas predicts what Corypheus will do next with shocking precision. For example, right before the last encounter with Coryph🍨eus, Solas says "You have waylaid all his other plans. Now, as a petulant child, he will destroy the game board rather than admit defeat. Be ready for anything. He still believes himself a god, and gods do not fall gracefully."
In that quote, Solas also lays down a hint of his knowledge of the fall of gods. After all, players later learn that he himself took down 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Evanurisﷺ. Also, this quote from Solas is exactly what hಞappens. Corypheus recklessly throws everything at the Inquisition in one final stand.
12 His Overt And Casual Racism 𒁏 ཧ
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Players who played as qunari knew about this side of Solas more than others. He sees qunari ꧅as brutes, savages, and myopic authoritarians. If he becomes friends with a qunari Inquisitor, instead of changing his mind about qunari, he thinks the Inquisitor is just "special" and "different". As many players noted, this echoes the real-wo🐻rld sentiment behind the "model minority".
This is💙 a close-mi🧸nded view -- one that can make Solas easily demonize others just because they are different from him and what he knows. It is a dangerous and cruel way to think, but it is what leads the Dread Wolf to relentlessly pursue his goals.
11 Breaking 💞Up With Lavellan🃏
It was Lavellan players who almost cracked completely through Solas. Unfortunately, Solas saw this coming and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:broke up with them before they could. During the break-up, he avoids giving a valid reason and the break-up is also sudden. He did 🦩not seem to plan on it, making it one of the few instances Solas makes a reckless decision.
Fans have picked this cutscene apart in order to understand Sol🀅as. It appears that a sad Lavellan hurts him all the more while an angry one makes the breakup a little easier. Solas feels like he deserves her hatred, but is not prepared to see someone who still loves him.
Even more, telling is a banter Cole can have later -- one in which he says this before Solas stops him: "He (Solas) hurts, an old pain from before when everything sang the same. You're 𒅌real, and it means everyone could be real. It changes everything, but it can't. They sleep, masked in a mirror, hiding, hurtinꦐg, and to wake them...." This isn't exactly justice for Lavellan players, but it's a start.
10 🎃 His 🍌Enjoyment Of Political Intrigue
Solas may have had one too many drinks during the Winter Palace quest. If he is brought, he will mention that he enjoys political intrigue. In fact, he actually says he misses it. Immediately the Inquisitor 🌜asks when and where he experienced it before and he avoids the question.
At first glance, no one would expect Solas to be a natural in the Winter Palace; however, he is. He even has sound advice for the Inquisitor on how to approach the situation. He tells them to mingle with the servants as they will know what is really going on. Now if only he could explain his 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:questionable choice in hats.
9 🙈 How He Dances Around Certain Questions
Asking him questions often gets the Inquisitor approval from Solas, but only if they are questions that don't put him in a hot spot. This happens 🉐both with the Inquisitor, as well as companions. For example, Blackwall once asks Solas if he ever fought in a war before due to him mentioning seeing death and destruction. In fact, he specifically asks if it was an Elvhen skirmish. Solas says, "In a manner of speaking, yes," and leaves it ཧat just that.
Another example is when Solas gives Sera advice about her organization and speaks to her like a great organization/revolution strategist out of nowhere. Sera qui🍨ckly asks him how he learned all this and he saꦦys he learned from the Fade. In fact, the Fade is his go-to excuse for a lot of questions that could have unveiled his identity.
8 ꦆ His Dislike Of Grey Wardens 🤡
Solas ꦡdoes not like it if the Inquisition lets the Grey Wardens join. In fact, he seems to dislike the Wardens a great deal. When asked why, he tends to avoid the question or redirect🍒 to another subject. Fans can also catch his distaste for the group in Crestwood with the potentially tragic character of Jana.
Fans have debated about this factor of Solas for a while. A popular theory is that the Grey Wardens can be a powerful organization that he himsel🍸f could have to defeat in🎶 the future. He would rather see them weakened now than face them later in his plot. Other theories involve who exactly the Old Gods stem from; could they be corrupted Evanuris?
7 The Commen🤡ts About Solas From Other Charact🔯ers
Other characters have commented on the oddity of Solas but never got deep enough to unveil his plans or identity. For example, Vivienne can say "I don't know what to make of Solas. So much knowledge and so little personal history...I find that...peculiar, don't you?" Sera can say, "His head's crammed up a thousand years ago," which is actually closer to the truth than any companion could r෴ealize.
The Iron Bull, who is especially clever and works as a spy, also notices that Solas is odd. He says in one banter, "You've got an odd style, Solas. Your spells are a bit different from the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Circle mages or the Vints. I've seen self-taught warriors. Even the good ones have something awkward in their style, something that clunks.𒀰 I don't get that from you.🤡" But no one can pin down the Dread Wolf.
6 That Chess Game 🍬W༒ith The Iron Bull
The most insane foreshadowing c🐠ame in the form of a chess game🅠 between Solas and Iron Bull. Solas challenges Iron Bull to the game and, since both of them are so smart in tactics, their chess game is fascinating for those who know a lot about chess.
Solas wins the game in the end and he does so by sacrificing a lot of his pieces...no matter how important they are. In fact, he sacrifices the Queen in ord♛er to win. Many fans think that can be symbolic of how he later kills Mythal.
5 The Aওrtifact Reveal ♒
Before the quest In Your Heart Shall Burn, and before you even know what destroyed the Temple of Sacred Ashes, Solas drops a hint at what did and offers no further explanation. It’s a very subtle side conversation you have after the initial cutscene with hᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚim in Haven.
He mentions that “any artifact of such power is dangerous” in r🍸eference to the explosion. It could be a side comment that would otherwise be forgotten, but its timing is what makes it stand out. His suggestion that an artifact is to blame is a little more specific than what the average person would know at the time and suggests that Solas had more to do w🍷ith the temple than we know about.
