It's more or less confirmed that she's a Lyrium Ghost in her reappearances after Origins if you kill her at the Temple of Sacred Ashes thanks to the Trespasser epilogue.

Wasn't it just a glitch with DA 2 at first . Then it kind of got made canon.

seemingly, they're actually going to make this a plot point.

In the trespasser epilogue, if she's not Divine and was killed in Origins, she doth apparently become... a murder of crows and flies off?

Bioware has recently released a figure of Alistair (using his Comic Book/Inquisition! look) that is at 1/6th scale.

Based on the figure size and scale, doing some math, he's around 6 foot 2 to 3 inches tall.

Figure that it's been long enough that a double post is acceptable.

Trespasser: Solas on Skyhold

The codex entry for the fully (or as fully as the game allows) repaired Skyhold says that there's an old inscription reading "the Veil is old here". One of the archivist spirits refers to Solas creating the Veil as holding back the sky.

Damn he is SO COLD to low approval Inquisitors. I remember he told my Lavellan something like "You made good use of it" when I picked that response.

You know, I've been wondering - one of Isabela's many doubly entendres is "shank your Jory", right? Hoe exactly did that get around? Did Isabela hear about it from the Warden, or does they and Alistair just tell the story to everyone they met until it eventually entered into the popular lexicon?

Poor Jory...His wife's probably mortified.

Just completed Trespasser, and... damn, I really liked it. It's exactly the strong ending that Inquisition sorely lacked. A lot of extremely good lore, setting up a long-term supervillain, some strong (and somehow realistic, though obiviously very condensed) drama about the future of the Inquisition and a difficult choice right at the end.

Thedas is confirmed for my favorite serious fantasy setting. Personally, I'd be ok with Fenharel and his Veil plan being the ultimate enemy and decision to cap the whole series, in another couple of games. Though it might be that it seems that way now because the game focused on elven lore, and in the future dwarven lore (the Titans?) and the darkspawn will take center stage as villains too.

I also like Fenharel as a villain. His "I'm sorry but I have to do this" attitude is... sort of understandable, in a way, and at the same time makes you want to punch him in the face even harder. I like villains that are sort-of-understandable and pleasant to punch in the face at the same time.

So yeah, Trespasser makes DA:Inquisition as a whole noticeably better in my eyes. I'll try replaying it with an Inqusitor who drank from the Well to see if there are differences. Sadly I can't make Cassandra divine from my endgame savefile, so I can't see how that choice plays out. :/

[up][up][up] Isabella uses everything as an entendre it's probably a coincidence. Besides, assuming everyone knows what they are referencing, that means Cole can hop dimensions, as he references both Mass Effect and Kotor.

[up] Those are vague enough that he could always be referring to coincidentally similar events in Thedas; he never names names.

...Are you saying that people named Jory have an alarming tendency to get shanked?

So far, it's 100% accurate.

Don't tell me a sample size of 1 is unscientific. I have a control group. His name is Varric and he's never been shanked. SCIENCE.

[up] x7 I actually don't see Solas as being the series' final villain. He feels too - penultimate I guess? I don't know he seems more like a stepping stone to something worse. It wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be Flemeth or one of the Evanuris for instace. I just think they revealed Solas too early for him to be the final villain.

Most likely because he isn't.

Sandals prophecy pretty much hints that he does achieve his objective, but how the Veil is removed and whether it causes countless deaths is probably going to depend on what happens in the next game.

Which is why I think it might be Mythal. Giving us the death/redemption choice feels weird if Solas succeeds no matter what and the Veil HAS to come down. But I can see his villain arc ending with you defeating him and stopping his plans... only for Mythal to enforce her control from the Well and forcing either you or Morrigan to finish off his plans anyway. It allows for the choice about Solas to still have it's consequence and weight while also seeing his end goal achieved.

Besides she's had way too much build-up to just disappear from the story.
