I hope they give us an option to redeem or spare Solas in Dragon Age 4.
I want to kill him not because I have to, but because I choose to.

can't believe that after DA2 the devs are constantly presenting Anders as a villain while simultaneously making the entire game about Mr Genocide aka S*las, who is probably gonna get a redemption arc in the end cause we don't wanna upser S*lasmancers

I fully expect the Dragon Age Dreadwolf ending to either be some edgy solasmancer fanfiction bullshit catered specifically to Solas fans, or BioWare pulling the "I was just trying to protect you from EVEN BIGGER THREAT :(" WoW-style.
#like im sorry but they underestimate how much people like or care about Solas#imagine waiting nearly a decade for the new game and facing the possibility of having to save or redeem that fucking egg#it's good thing i'm not exactly all that hyped about da4 because sheesh#beikon's banter#dragon age 4#dragon age dreadwolf#solas critical#anti solas

every time bioware release something new for s*las i find myself wondering if they know that not everyone cares about their racist genocidal egg man. some of us would like to see content for other characters. u know, maybe the ones from other games we loved wayyy before s*las was introduced
#bioware critical#anti solas#dragon age#dragon age: dreadwolf#and then i remember theyve named a whole ass game after him and go :////#yeah maybe they dont know#or worse maybe they dont care#like i do not care about this racist man who wants to commit genocide okay#he is not my favourite and im sick of everything they release being about him

actually im going to shout into the void that the solavelan romance is the height of my hatred
#none of this is actual critic i'm just channeling my spiral into ranting about smthing i dont care about much#'does she remove her vasillin or not' fills me with rage and i dont know why#i know why its bc the writers used the complete demonetization of an indigenous coded religion and used a rose tinted gaze of#it being a romance scene and made it a snap decision for lavellen who no matter what she chooses gets dumped on the spot#and ppl focus on Solas. that bald fucker who i want to maim instead of the woman who just had her whole identity#stripped from her#i am in an emotional state right now and i must funnel it into anger of smthing not important so ignore me#dragon age inquisition critical#anti solas#anti solvellan#just using those tags to be safe#also i just have lingering annoyance from when i was 16/17 when the game first came out and it was Everywhere#to the point if there was a lavellan she was romancing solas no matter what#i couldn't read anything! bc it was this stupid 'wise man sweeping the ingénue into his arms and telling her shes an idiot#but he still loves her despite her being uncivilized and wrong ❤'

Before I say anything, I just want to preface this with the fact that I respect Solas fans; you’re allowed to like whoever you like, that’s none of my business.
However, I *don’t* like Solas. I genuinely dislike him. Granted, he’s going to be a great villain in DA:D, but I just didn’t like him very much as a character in DA:I.
1. He’s very arrogant and just proverbially “pushes his glasses up his nose at you” about the Fade
2. If you’re Dalish, he just takes a fat dump on your cultural heritage and is shocked when you dislike him for that
3. I cannot stand the romance. It stinks of Anders-vibes, wherein you’re just a tool in his agenda. You might say that both Anders and Solas “truly” love you, but it’s definitely a toxic one. Solas finds himself superior to you and rarely, if ever, places himself as your equal. The entire Vallaslin thing was gross on his part. Even if the Dalish are “wrong” about their history, their cultural identity is still unique to them and is one they keep close to their hearts. No real life group is exactly the same as their predecessors and are their own distinct group.
Yeah, that’s it, I’ll get off my soapbox.

I'm 100% honest on this: There is NOTHING at this point that I can see where I'm willing or even comfortable with the idea of "redeeming" Solas. If indeed "redemption" is even in the cards - I legit get the feeling that the way that BioWare is shaping things, it's in the direction of showing that Solas may have been on to something, that his plans may have been extreme but not unwarranted, that he is doing the wrong thing for the right reason.
Like he admits, outright, that the world must die for his goals to be accomplished, that his intention is to end the world. That he doesn't see the people of Thedas as people, that they're more akin to walking among Tranquil, seeing people who have been lobotomized, who may well be in his estimation better off dead.
Even if somehow he is swayed from proverbially throwing that switch to kill countless millions of people in the world, something that I struggle to see how ANYONE - and yes, even a romanced Lavellan, which, I must point out, is one possible permutation of the Inquisitor out of SEVERAL, and that version getting special treatment none others get WILL cause rioting, you know it - can talk him out of, he still has every intention of it.
And if it's all to service some "he was right, there is some greater evil he was trying to prevent" narrative? Frankly, that's a load of bullshit. GENOCIDE IS THE GREATER EVIL. And when your plan is going to see millions dead at a conservative estimate, I'm comfortable describing it with the g word. Even if he's trying to hold back the elven gods who sought to enslave the elven peoples in the time before other races... People can be freed from slavery, the slave masters can be slain and the slaves regaining their freedom. You don't recover from being killed.
I do not consider Solas a character who deserves redemption. The character is defined by his pride and arrogance, his name literally translates to pride. To even begin a redemption arc, he'd need to admit that he is wrong to be doing this - and, the thing with redemption arcs in general, no one DESERVES redemption, inherently. It's about making that effort, and knowing and understanding that they will not be able to earn redemption from others.
Like when I think of redemption arcs that work, I think Angel, I think Xena, characters who spend entire TV SERIES looking for redemption, and even by their respective finales have not necessarily found it, don't even know if it's something they CAN attain, and yet still choose to try to make amends with the rest of their time on this earth. Meanwhile, you get a character like Damon Salvatore, like Regina the Evil Queen, who are "redeemed" in the sense that there are greater threats that come along, forcing them onto the side of the heroes and making the characters all bury the hatchet out of simple practicality, because they need to tackle the present issue rather than rehash old harm. That's not actually redemption, it's just dismissing their history and claiming 'but they're good guys now!'
The way BioWare has approached Solas, I see their writing favoring the latter version of things with him, not the former.
So I don't even want to bother. Crack the egg, deal with the threat definitively, and, if there's some other threat beyond him, we'll deal with it WITHOUT any assistance from him, because he has not done anything that says he should be given the second chance offered in saying he should be redeemed.
Redemption is an ongoing process, a choice that proceeds on and on for a character beyond one singular appearance. And frankly? This egg wore out his welcome during the course of Inquisition proper, let alone Trespasser, and now the forthcoming game that actually uses him as a title character.
I don't CARE about Solas. If I could crack his egg in the opening cutscene of the fourth Dragon Age and continue from there, I'd do it every time with no hesitation.

I feel dirty purposefully asking Solas questions so I can get Solas approval so I can get the Solas romance in my nearly-every-romance run but I must make sacrifices. Not all DAI playthroughs can ignore Solas to get the most hilarious Trespasser scene possible. I just wish all approval was so easy to figure out lol

Solas really just brings out the "insert the Jurgen Leitner video here" vibe in me so I'll just be bitchy for a bit. It's fine.
