I love Dragon Age, but too many people take themselves soooooooo seriously. (Solas, I'm looking at you!)
Way to go Merrill! Get him to smile! Good girl!

Maybe Solas could be a good mentor for Merrill, carefully directing her on when it's wise to use blood magic and when it's not, how to be truly careful about spirits, and nicely informing her about the mistakes in Dalish culture.

I know I keep saying this, but I *love* this picture to pieces. They just look so comfortable together, with Merrill chatting away about spirits and the like in ways she's probably never been able to; Grandpa Pyjama Elf listening contently. It's just lovely.

You forgot to include panel 2: where they both are splattered in blood and laughing maniacally with their demon spirit buddies.

Leemo626 In reply to Artificer-Urza [2015-01-30 22:46:54 +0000 UTC]

they did indeed! Solas is voiced by the same chap who plays Ianto, and Merrill is voiced by the lady who plays Gwen; both main characters
I'll admit; I had to IMDB Solas when I was playing through DA:I though.. he sounded soooo familiar, but i just couldn't place him! hehe XD

Artificer-Urza In reply to Leemo626 [2015-01-30 23:41:04 +0000 UTC]

Considering how different Gwen from Merrill and Ianto from Solas are, it's not surprising that they wouldn't be recognized right away.

Merrill is a Dalish Blood Mage

no offense but Solas would basically be a second Fenris towards call basically calling her an idiot for believing in her peoples history when she should be questioning it and tearing it apart

AnnaKitty In reply to Garchompisbeast [2015-01-30 22:15:33 +0000 UTC]

Actually, no. He actually believes that Blood Magic is just another form of magic and can be used for good and evil alike, although he does not practice it himself. And to the history part: even when you are a Dalish Inquisitor (Lavellan) he will not 'tear' anything 'apart'. He is respectful about it. I doubt he would chide her for anything, except perhaps her part in Marathari's death. 
I am not sure why you got the idea that he would be angry about Dalish believing in their history. He might correct a few things if I found it better for them to know the truth (like the vallaslin for Lavellan) but I agree with poly, here, and think they would most likely get along

Merril is PERFECT for Solas - a mage willing to question and experiment instead of just taking everything at face value. She even believes one can work with spirits safely. I mean wow. These two could talk for a week leaving a somewhat confused and despondent hawke and inquisitor to their own thing He doesn't like the Dalish being unwilling to change their understanding with new information; he dislikes that they have so much WRONG Merril is the type who might actually listen.

Garchompisbeast In reply to Erynnsilver [2015-02-07 00:03:32 +0000 UTC]

yeah.....still don't see it

Solas sees the Dalish belief system as being completely wrong and Merrill wanting to reclaim the past would just annoy him in my opinion

Erynnsilver In reply to Garchompisbeast [2015-02-07 04:19:32 +0000 UTC]

He wants to restore the past, too. Just a different one (once we get to the end of the game anyway ) If he could convince her of the truth of his words - not hard, she'd be willing to talk to his old spirit friends, and spirits do not usually lie - they'd be on the same page.
