#solas nervously chugging down another liter of tea while watching this buffoon of a protagonist

Looking at this page again and how we were already asking ourselves even before this comic came out, how in the world the next protagonist is going to stand a chance against Solas with all these god like powers...
But when I first saw THIS panel then, it really made me think "Ok, how the hell is our next protagonist going to do literally ANYTHING without Solas already knowing and being three steps ahead of us, when he can watch us from practically anywhere?"
...Until Nunzio DeFilippis (one of the comic's creators) explained in an interview how, by their logic (note not BioWare’s), Solas can only overlook an area within a certain radius of where another eluvian is located. So I was glad to hear that there seem to be at least some limits to this. 😂
But still, it made me picture what it would look like if he ever used the eluvian in such a way in DA4...
Like, I imagine something similar to these transitional "intermission" scenes in DA2, where it would take you out of gameplay to a cutscene with Varric telling Hawke's story to Cassandra, but instead it would be the DA4 protagonist doing whatever and then every once in a while, the camera slowly zooms out from gameplay perspective to an eluvian's surface, and finally to Solas watching us through the mirror and him going "Ah, so that's where you’re going?"
Like, it would be kinda creepy, but I think it's just so funny to imagine Solas watching us doing some super ridiculous dumb shit or just one random side quest after another, like getting another lost druffalo to its owner or something and Solas - the man who secretly wants you to find a way to prove him wrong SO badly - just sighing in frustration "And that's the guy they chose to stop me?" lmaoo
