Just Picturing Somebody Getting Absolutely DOMED With That Stone Orb - Blog Posts
*Solas Thoughts*
So, in Inquisition, the combat AI had everyone, including Mages (traditionally glass cannons) running straight into the fight.
And somebody mentioned a headcannon about Solas, thinking about this system. Assuming you didn’t direct your characters individually, like chess pieces. Wondering if the reason Solas specifically did it, was because he was used to using a dagger and orb (the lyrium dagger and the foci orb), the way Mage!Rook can in DA: the Veilguard.
Would definitely fit, right? You never see him with a staff in the flashbacks and why would a staff-wielding Mage (presumably support/back rank, not vanguard) need to wear a full chest plate, pauldrons and gloves that protect his lower forearms/wrists. Not to mention, in a banter with Blackwall/Rainier in Inquisition, he mentions being “hot-blooded and cocky” as a youth. “Always ready to fight.”
Doesn’t seem like a support role to me and he’s the Dread Wolf. God of Trickery? Treachery?
Sounds an awful lot like a multi-class Rogue to me…
