Solas Cutscene: What Pride Had Wrought
Forgive My Melancholy
Solas Masterpost
Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought
The PC speaks to Solas in the rotunda.
Choice dependent dialogue:
PC drank (romanced/high/neutral approval) [1]
PC drank (low approval) [2]
Morrigan drank [3]
1 - PC drank (romanced/high approval)
PC drank, Solas was at the Temple:
Solas (romance): I begged you not to drink from the Well. Why could you not have listened?
Solas: Why did you do it? I warned you not to.
PC: Solas… [4]
PC drank, Solas was not at the Temple:
Solas (romance): Why did you not bring me to the Temple of Mythal? I could have warned you.
Solas: I wish I had been with you at the Temple of Mythal. I could have warned you.
PC: Warned me? [4]
4 - Dialogue options:
Investigate: Meaning? [5]
+Solas slightly approves
General: I’m still myself. [6]
-Solas slightly disapproves
General: Why does this bother you? [7]
+Solas slightly approves
General: It’s done. [8]
-Solas slightly disapproves
5 - Investigate: Meaning?
PC: What does that mean, exactly?
Solas: You are Mythal’s creature now. Everything you do, whether you know it or not, will be for her. You have given up a part of yourself. [back to 4]
6 - General: I’m still myself.
PC: I have not become Mythal’s slave.
Solas: Not yet, but if you remove the layer of nostalgia from stories of the elven gods, you might see the danger. They were arrogant and fickle. They warred amongst themselves. They had feuds, vendettas. And you are bound to one of them now. I suppose it is better you have the power than Corypheus, which leads to the next logical question… [12]
7 - General: Why does this bother you?
PC: You don’t even believe in the ancient elven gods!
Solas: I don’t believe they were gods, no, but I believe that they existed! Something existed to start the legends! If not gods, then mages, or spirits, or something we’ve never seen. And you are bound to one of them now. I suppose it is better you have the power than Corypheus, which leads to the next logical question… [12]
8 - General: It’s done.
PC: I had to do it, and I can’t very well take it back now.
Solas: I know. I only hope it is worth whatever price you pay. I suppose it is better you have the power than Corypheus, which leads to the next logical question… [12]
2 - PC drank (low approval)
Solas: How does it feel to have the power of an ancient elven goddess flowing through you? Is it everything you hoped?
General: I had to do it. [9]
General: It was the witch or me. [10]
General: I’m fine. [11]
9 - General: I had to do it.
PC: I didn’t ask for this, Solas.
Solas: You drank. That is all that matters. I look forward to seeing how this works out for you. [12]
10 - General: It was the witch or me.
PC: Would you rather I give Morrigan that power? Does that sound like a good idea?
Solas: You see power as little more than a larger weapon. I look forward to seeing the price you pay. Until then… [12]
11 - General: I’m fine.
PC: I don’t feel any different.
Solas: I will try to suppress my surprise. Nevertheless, the power is yours… until Mythal chooses otherwise. [12]
3 - Morrigan drank
Solas (was at temple): The Temple of Mythal was extraordinary. In all my journeys, I never dreamed of finding anything like it. [12]
Solas (was not at temple): The Temple of Mythal sounds truly astounding. I would have liked to have seen it. [12]
12 - Scene continues.
Solas: What will you do with the power of the Well once Corypheus is dead?
Dialogue options:
General: I’ll restore what was. [13]
+Solas approves
General: I’ll make the world better. [14]
+Solas slightly approves
General: I’ll rely on those I trust. [15]
-Solas slightly disapproves
General: One thing at a time. [16]
-Solas disapproves
13 - General: I’ll restore what was.
PC: I’ll use whatever power I have to undo the chaos that Corypheus and his allies have caused.
Solas: You would put things back the way they were before?
PC: Yes. I mean, not exactly…
Solas: I know what you mean. Thank you.
PC: For what?
Solas (neutral/high approval): You have not been what I expected, Inquisitor. You have… impressed me. You honor the past and work to recover what was lost, even if the cost is high. I respect that, and I am indebted to you for the reminder. [25]
Solas (low approval): I do not agree with everything you have done, Inquisitor. Your actions have been shortsighted. You have made mistakes. But you understand the importance of recovering what was lost, even if the cost is high. I respect that, and I am indebted to you for the reminder. [25]
14 - General: I’ll make the world better.
PC: This war proved that we can’t go back to the way things were. I’ll try to help this world move forward.
Solas: You would risk everything you have in the hope that the future is better? What if it isn’t? What if you wake up to find that the future you shaped is worse than what was?
Dialogue options:
General: I’ll keep trying. [17]
General: That won’t happen. [18]
General: That doesn’t matter. [19]
17 - General: I’ll keep trying.
PC: I’ll take a breath, see where things went wrong, and then try again.
Solas: Just like that?
PC: If we don’t keep trying, we’ll never get it right.
Solas: You’re right. Thank you.
PC: For what? [20]
ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
18 - General: That won’t happen.
PC: We’ve done all right so far. We’ll have problems, yes, but we can handle them,
Solas: Such confidence.
PC: What’s the alternative? Do nothing? We have to keep trying.
Solas: You’re right. Thank you.
PC: For what? [20]
ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
19 - General: That doesn’t matter.
PC: If that happens, it happens. We’re doing the best we can. That’s all we can do.
Solas: You’re right. Thank you.
PC: For what? [20]
ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
20 - Scene continues.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
Solas (neutral/high approval): You have not been what I expected, Inquisitor. You have… impressed me. You have offered hope that if one keeps trying, even if the consequences are grave… that someday, things will be better. [25]
Solas (low approval): I do not agree with everything you have done, Inquisitor. Your actions have been shortsighted. You have made mistakes. But you never give up. You never stop trying, even when the consequences are grave. For your determination, I offer thanks. [25]
General: I’ll rely on those I trust.
PC: I’m not arrogant enough to think it’s my decision alone. Whatever happens, we’ll do it together.
Solas: You think to share your power, to avoid the temptation to misuse it. A noble sentiment… but, ultimately, a mistake.
PC: Why?
Solas: Because while one selfless [person] may walk away from the lure of power’s corruption… no group has ever done so.
Dialogue options:
General: We will. [21]
-Solas slightly disapproves
General: What, never? [22]
General: I will still lead. [23]
+Solas slightly approves
21 - General: We will.
PC: I trust my friends.
Solas: I know that mistake well enough to carve the angles of her face from memory.
PC: Why is this so important to you? [24]
ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
22 - General: What, never?
PC: There’s a first time for everything.
Solas: Perhaps… but it will not be this time. I believe even you know that.
PC: Why is this so important to you? [24]
ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
23 - General: I will still lead.
PC: If other members of the Inquisition overstep their bounds, I’ll be there to stop them.
Solas: Ah, then I misunderstood. You will be first among equals. Good.
PC: Good? [24]
ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
24 - Scene continues.
ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
Solas (neutral/high approval): You have not been what I expected, Inquisitor. You have… impressed me. You must not let false modesty allow you to pass your power to someone else. There are few regrets sharper than watching fools squander what you sacrificed to achieve. [25]
Solas (low approval): I do not agree with everything you have done, Inquisitor. Your actions have been shortsighted. You have made mistakes. But they are your mistakes. You cannot correct them unless you claim them. Honor your mistakes. In the end, they may be all you have. [25]
16 - General: One thing at a time.
PC: I won’t know the answer until Corypheus is defeated.
Solas: Yet they are already asking you to answer. Restore the Chantry? Destroy the Chantry? If you do nothing, someone else will answer in your stead. Whatever you do, choose wisely. [25]
25 - Scene continues.
Solas: Forgive my melancholy. Corypheus has cost us much. The Temple of Mythal did not deserve such a fate. The orb he carries, and its stolen power… that, at least, we may still recover. With luck, some of the past may yet survive.
Dialogue options:
General: Thank you for everything. [26]
General: Sounds like you’re leaving. [27]
General: Enough. Let’s finish this. [28]
General (romance): We’ll do it together. [29]
General (romance): So… good luck kiss? [30]
General (romance): Hey, stop worrying. [31]
26 - General: Thank you for everything.
PC: Thank you, Solas. We couldn’t have done this without you.
Solas: You are welcome.
Scene ends.
27 - General: Sounds like you’re leaving.
PC: You planning to leave before we take down the bad guy?
Solas: No, but there may not be a later. It seemed wise to say my goodbyes now.
Scene ends.
28 - General: Enough. Let’s finish this.
PC: We can talk more once Corypheus is dead.
Solas: I hope so.
Scene ends.
29 - General: We’ll do it together.
PC: Whatever comes, I will have you by my side.
Solas: Come with me, vhenan.
Scene ends.
30 - General: So… good luck kiss?
PC: You’re being grim and fatalistic in the hope of getting me into bed, aren’t you?
Solas: I am grim and fatalistic. Getting you into bed is just an enjoyable side benefit. Come with me, vhenan.
Scene ends.
31 - General: Hey, stop worrying.
PC: You’re talking like you’re going to die. Stop. We’re going to get through this.
Solas: I hope you’re right. Come with me, vhenan.
Scene ends.

I do like the confrontation between Corypheus and the Inquisitor, though. The lil "you meddle with forces beyond your ken" moment. So I like to think of it happening during WPHW instead. Reaching the Vir'Abelasan felt a lil too easy in canon tbh.
#OOC / HOLLY.#DA:I overall has some of the best dialogue in the series and Corypheus is no exception#I'd rather not cut it if I don't have to [and I don't have to]#also Corypheus saying he's seen the throne of the gods and it was empty fucked Cassandra up I can't scrap it#I should think in greater depth about how WPHW plays out then . . .#I wanted to alter The Final Piece and IYHSB too . . .#I keep saying that's a problem for future me but boy is it

looks like I just have the Hissing Wastes and the DLC areas to finish up and other than that, it's just the final missions for Inquisition and I'm done.
for some reason I remember there being way more main missions, and I couldn't tell you why. might've been that the first couple of times I completed DA:I, I didn't 100% it. once What Pride Had Wrought is complete, the last couple of missions have this weight to them that really encourage you to do them one after another so that might also be why.
either way, with work this week, I likely won't get to WPHW until my weekend.
#[static]#i think i might start Mass Effect next !!#I'm still in the mood for RPGs but I'm feeling like Space#wolf plays da#i still definitely have at least 15 hours of gameplay left until I'm ready to take on what pride had wrought

Y'know I never really talked about — so a default canon divergence for this blog is that Corypheus didn't reveal himself until WPHW. His Vessel had control of the dragon during the attack on Haven, and the Herald had a confrontation with them. The Vessel did drop his name, but this was heard only by the Herald and their party + it's hardly compelling proof. It does prompt Varric to contact Hawke; they investigate the matter; etc. etc.
One of the consequences is people don't take the Inquisition's nemesis seriously for a good while. Even in canon with Corypheus dropping on Haven, many who weren't present doubt this Elder One exists or is what the Inquisition claims he is. With the Inquisition having to launch an investigation and find proof, that at least doubles. Corypheus does his best work from the shadows, and he has many in which to hide. People do come to acknowledge the Venatori as a credible threat, but they don't completely believe what the Inquisition says about this Elder One until they are forced.
Honestly? Cassandra has her doubts, too. Initially, anyway. The Inquisition + Hawke + the Warden contact investigating his prison ends up convincing her, but it sounds pretty buck wild before then. One of the Magisters Sidereal was still alive, held prisoner for ages by the Wardens? And Hawke killed him? But somehow he didn't die? It's like . . . if the Elder One is one of the Magisters Sidereal, that would explain some things for her, but it's just so impossible to believe. Are we sure this isn't some pretender? Absolutely certain? She will concede, though, that the Chant of Light doesn't specify what happened to the Magisters Sidereal after the Archon scattered them.
#META / HC: PRIMARY.#have I mentioned recently Cassandra's kind of a Chant of Light literalist#that changes eventually [like post-DA:I] but it's pretty ingrained in her

𝐀𝐙𝐑𝐀 + 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐂 / 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
Azra is terrified of magic during Origins because she’s never experienced magic before, having lived in Orzammar her whole life. This makes her stand-offish to mages and subsequently endears the templar order to her. So throughout Origins, she advocated for siding with the templars and requested to learn some of their techniques from Alistair or other current / former templars she encountered. Though she cannot learn the lyrium-based abilities due to her not taking the substance, the knowledge and techniques passed on that do not require lyrium have helped to set her at ease when in battle with a mage.
Depending on how things go in Origins, Azra may overcome her fear of magic and start to empathize with mages by Inquisition. The three big factors that go into this are
Her relationship with Morrigan. In my playthrough, Morrigan was the one she got along with the most, and befriending her was the main reason Azra got over her fear. (Though this progress can be completely undone depending on what happens during the Final Battle, which I’ll explain more below.)
Training from Alistair. As mentioned, Azra readily seeks out training from templars, so the more Alistair helps her during Origins, the less afraid she’ll be come Inquisition.
The biggest factor is whether or not the HOF sides with the Mages. If they side with the templars during Origins, it reinforces Azra’s fears and neither of the above factors can override what has now been set in her mind as the truth. If they side with the mages, it helps Azra empathize with them over the course of her positive interactions with the remaining mages, and she admits she was wrong to judge them so harshly.
Azra’s outlook on magic after Origins is highly dependent on how her views change over the course of the Blight. If she’s a companion in Inquisition, her approval for certain choices will depend on things that happened in Origins. If Azra was able to work out her fear of magic, she will be open to the Herald allying with the mages and will have a more hospitable attitude towards mages in general. If not, then she will be adamant in her poor opinion of them allying with the mages.
Another big influence from Origins to Inquisition is her friendship with Morrigan, and it affects her reaction to who drinks from the Well of Sorrows during WPHW. (That being said, when interacting with Morrigan muses, there’s obviously no pretense that I expect you to go along with this headcanon.) In my playthrough, Morrigan was Azra’s closest friend in the group and is a big reason why she starts to get over her fear of magic. But Azra’s opinion of Morrigan can change depending on what happens in the Final Battle. If Morrigan leaves before the Final Battle for whatever reason, Azra feels betrayed and her view of her turns sour, making her vocally oppose Morrigan drinking from the Well in Inquisition while stating that she “has a history of betraying people after she gets what she wants”. If Morrigan does not leave before the Final Battle, her opinion of her remains strongly positive, and she will advocate for Morrigan drinking from the Well, citing her continuous trust in the woman.
Since I default to Rosara being my HOF, then going by her choices, Azra should be largely past her fears by Inquisition since Rosara saved the mages, Azra got some training from Alistair, and Morrigan did not leave before the Final Battle. So by default, I will write Azra in Inquisition under the pretense that all of this occurred and she’s not a hardass towards mages anymore unless we agree beforehand on different circumstances.

A concept: alternate path for WPHW where Lavellan and/or Solas can trick Morrigan into fucking off at the Temple of Mythal by just... lying about what the carvings say to convince her to go the wrong way, trusting that she doesn't actually know enough Elvish to argue with them and will just go along with whatever they tell the group it says (so long as it sounds more or less reasonable) rather than admit to not actually being able to read it. And this works, because Morrigan absolutely cannot read more Elvish than Solas and Lavellan do. Literally if she just admitted she couldn't read it they'd own up to lying, but she doesn't, because she's so stupidly proud that she won't even admit that the people actually belonging to a culture know it better than she does. Bonus points if this is followed by her flying off at top speed to get to the Well before the party and Lavellan and/or Solas are just like
while the others panic and then the second she's out of sight go "Right, this way" and lead the group off in the exact opposite direction. She can't even get angry about the trick later without admitting that she had no idea what the carvings actually said!
#dragon age inquisition#just in general more of solas and lavellan taking advantage of morrigan's refusal to admit that she doesn't know as much as she claims to#to play all sorts of little tricks on her#she could stop walking into traps at any point!#but she doesn't because that would require admitting that she does NOT know more about the elves than the elves do
