      The elves can be restored and they should. The veil took everything from the world and it needs to go.
      What need to happen is a way to bring it down in such a way that it doesnt cause mass destruction IF possible.
      But Ultimately Im with solas on this. Humans enslaving and killing and kicking his people in the dirt like the nazis thedas humans are, is why solas feels the need to do what hes doing.
      At least the evanuris uplifted his people as a society, and they may have been dicks. But humans man, just fucking sick and cruel and evil even without godly power going to their heads.

      I would normally agree with this sort of statement, but in all honesty... I just completed this for the first time yesterday. My Inquisitor is a Dalish mage, and she romanced Cullen, and I had intended that to be my canon story. But then I experienced this, and the score combined with the looming desperation and the fact that for whatever reason, the rest of the party doesn't also travel through the Eluvian; I still felt this scene was oddly romantic. Or "romanticized" is likely the better way to describe it. This interaction alone has made me restart a playthrough with the exact same Inquisitor simply to change the romance choice. I'm testing out if I'd rather have that be canon, and although I adore Cullen... It's difficult to feel like the game isn't pulling you in the direction of being with Solas.

      To me, it feels like Solas isn’t trying to do the whole “end the world” bit just to bring back the life he once had, but to see which life is worth fighting for.
      You (the player character) survived the planned explosion along with the main antagonist (Corypheus), and through the course of fighting to stop him, Solas began to doubt whether or not his plans are something that should be followed through, simply because of your actions.
      He wants to save his people and stop the Evanuris from being in power again, but at the same time, he doesn’t want to kill innocent people and lose his best friend, or lover, in the process.

      Honestly I didn't like Solas either until the end of the game, but I never disliked him for typical reasons, I respect his character so much, that my own personality clashes with his, even though he's just a fictional character. My first playthrough I got far as I could with his friendship as I played a human and couldn't romance him, then my second playthrough was of his complete enemy (She was a Templar) So it was very interesting to play this DLC twice, once as his good friend trying to stop him, and talk sense into him, and the other as his enemy who wanted to stop a lunatic from destroying the world. Now with my newest file to romance him. (I also hear about how amazing his romance is)

We have some games translate by professionals but my country have no more contract with electronic arts and bioware, so games from them must be translated by fans for free and because our language is five harder on the world, if I remmember well :D sooo is not always possible get games translated, its because we have many expressions for one english word, so even for us is hard translate to form makes sence. And DAI have weeery many sentences to translate... But this worries me no more, I already learn enough english to understand main story. :) it only little pity that I not enjoy that game in relax state, always I had to very concetrate to understand whats going on. :D

    The Lost Elf theme is a melody that directly summarizes the relationship between Solas and Lavellan in Trespasser. It starts with a paced piano that runs like the ticking of a clock, a reminder that time is running out. The strings gradually increase. Solas is represented by the cello and Lavellan by the violin. (Throughout the entire song, they’re having a desperate back-and-forth conversation that can be heard both in the forefront and background of the melody-if you listen with headphones it’s even more noticeable). The violin enters at 0:16 with a pleading accompaniment to how quickly their time is ticking; i.e. the piano. It’s the first real addition of emotion to the song. The first “chorus” at 0:36 features the dramatic cries of the cello-of Solas-telling his story. In the background you can hear the faint violin trailing above it all like Lavellan’s voice of reason.
    When the chorus fades, we fall back to the piano. Tick tock.
    The second wave of music, announced almost by a war drum at 1:22, features deep, haunting bass and cello, likely reflecting Solas’s plans and his determination to see them through. Lavellan’s reply clashes with this tune in an almost eerie mash of strings, reaching it’s height at 1:46 in raw emotion that swells and dips…
    Only to fall back to the ticking clock at 2:09.
    Violin solo. A gentle sound, beautiful and miserable and pleading. Lavellan’s urging is answered by the climax of the song at 2:37. Strong, harrowing strings accompany Solas and the Inquisitor in a final conversation (can you hear the instruments talking?) that is eventually swallowed by the heartbroken melody when the chorus hits its peak at 3:00. Now they are both singing along. The sadness has engulfed both parties and there is no conversation anymore, no rebuttal, only gut-wrenching music as they are forced apart by goal and duty. And after the climax fades, again comes the ticking of the clock at 3:25, along with a weepy cello and violin accompaniment that ends the song with a final tear as Solas leaves through the eluvian.

      Just want to say, the idea of playing as a new character trained by the Inquisitor in DA4 would be amazing. Especially interesting if they make disbanding the Inquisition canon. Gives the Inquisitor a certain 'Big Boss' feel.

    Imagine the guilt that eats at Solas for all of the sins he’s committed. Imagine the pain. Now remember Isatunoll.
    This isn’t just Solas’s theme for the game, it’s the theme of his Song. The Song his soul sings to the world; a constant funereal dirge, mourning for what was lost, and can never be recovered.

    I didn't have the chance of playing Dragon Age, but this music have a great importance to me.
    I'm playing d&d with a group of friend for more than a year now on the same campaign. I love these people, and DMing them is the joy of my week. Despite lockdown and every thing life could throw at us, we still managed to meet (online lately) and play for a few hours.
    I have this spotify playlist from a random user that is superb for role playing, and it must be magic, because the tracks it gives me always sync perfectly with the situation.
    And when one of druid finally meets her mother, or when the barbarian makes peace with his anger, or when after 3 days of fighting the party finally wakes up at sea knowing they did the right thing and survived, it's always this song.
    When I hear it, I see in my head the landscapes and cities my friends and I created, the parties we did in make believe fantasy pubs, and the beautiful stories we share. We created a world all for ourselves, and it brings us closer in the real one.
    I feel grateful for this beautiful piece, and for the moments I shared with my friend while it was playing. So thank you, Trevor Morris.

Through your Friendship, he realizes that all of you are indeed alive, but he isn't deterred, he will regret the loss but he will do what he feels is needed, and he'll allow the survivors to join and his new elven society

If you didn’t kill Anders, Varric explains to the Inquisitor that Anders stayed with the mage refugees for a while but had to leave due to the other mages blaming him for them being refugees and hating him for it, his current whereabouts are unknown.

    Listening to this song I can only envision a dream sequence of Lavellan wandering around in a dream like forrest area unsure of where she is until she finds solas walking in a particular direction. She follows periodically calls out to him only for him to turn around once, and for her to reach out with her left arm (in the dream she still has her arm.) only for him to turn his back to her after giving her a sad look of longing and turning into a wolf as he walks away and her arm dissipates as he does. Then she falls to her knees.

    Bioware did an amazing job creating Solas, that's for sure. Such a strong and meaningful character. I personally never romanced him (or just not yet) because even with a F!Lavellan Inquisitor I tend to run into the arms of my Iron Bull... But at my first playthrough he was my best friend and the end of Trespasser made me miserable for days. Then I finished the game with a character that despised him and I was so upset even then. Hell, even now, just thinking about it makes me sad and furious at the same time. That's what I like about DA games, they always make me feel real emotions. Which is why I'll always prefer RPGs.

They lost their culture and history, and they are now lost and wandering as they try to rebuild it.

    @Keriga 4 роки тому +2

    This is an absolutely brilliant and beautiful piece of music, I adore it to bits 😍 To me, this is pretty much the theme for my elven inquisitor after the events of the game, trespasser dlc included. When you think about it, the elf inquisitor's story is very sad, especially if Solas is romanced. For example, what made my Inquisitor so sad in the end:
    1. Her clan died, including all her friends and possible family. She had planned in the beginning to return home once this whole Inquisition business is over and done with, but now there is no home, no friends, no family anymore.
    2. She finds out how little knowledge her and the rest of the dalish actually have of their culture and much of that is actually, false. Needless to say her faith was shaken.
    3. the man she loved walked away from her without explaining much as to why he needed to go, even after he promised her that once they dealt with Corypheus, he'd explain himself. Then a whole two years goes by ( two years of confusion and heartbreak, I must add. When she fell in love with him, she hoped that she could stay and travel with him after everything is done, now that she isn't going back to Free Marches after all, that he'd show/teach her more of the fade and spirits, but then he is just gone. Without even properly saying goodbye.) until she finally reunites with him, only to find out that he is not the man she thought he was, but he is actually a god. And not just any god, he is the one she has been told ber whole life to stay away from, the one not to trust.
    4. Said elven god who broke her heart just told her that he is going to kill everyone in order to bring back the old world of the elves. As a dalish ( and one very interested in history, lore, magic, spirits and the like) Lavellan kind of does emphatize with him, but knows she can't let him go on with his plans. After all, she is the Inquisitor, people look up to her for guidance and protection. Just as Solas needs to destroy Thedas for the good of his people, Lavellan has to stop him for the exact same reason. She tells him that she attemps to redeem him, show him a better way than killing everyone, but deep down she is not at all certain she can do it. She just hopes she can find some way, anything, than killing him, because even after everything she has learned of him, she still cares.
    So yeah.. Lady Inquisitor Lavellan is indeed one lost, sad elf in the end :,(

    Me: -Falls to the floor in tears- I AM RUINED

      If it plays in DA4, I can't imagine how that would feel.
