In all Solas' plan (and the probable plot of DA4) seems kinda weak, with glaring wholes. --[[User:Croix129|Croix129]] ([[User talk:Croix129|talk]]) 21:29, September 12, 2015 (UTC)

I believe the plan revealed to us was meant to be perceived in such a way. Its a plan where you relly shoukd want to stop him after hearing it. Or at least change his mind about only helping the elves. While he has noble goals, he hasn't considered the ramifications of bringing down the veil in a world which has adjusted to its existence. And this will be a major part of the next game. The belief that his efforts will not go as smoothly as planned and will likely end all life on thedas. While he has plans for the evanuris, he has mentioned no plsns regarding the black city and the darkness it contains which breeds the taint. He has no knowledge of what will happen as a result. Only the assumption that it will be the same as when the veil was raised. Too much has changed, elves will not survive the cataclysm without a safe haven, neither will any other race. The denizens of the fade will eventually revert to pure energy and become something new. But is that simply the case. What solas wants is an enormous task to undertake.

Forums: Index > Game Discussion(Spoilers) Solas' plan makes no sense
Note: This topic has been unedited for 3119 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over. Do not continue it unless it really needs a response.

So after beating Trespasser and re-playing other parts of Inquisition to seems to me that Solas' plans makes little to no sense whatsoever. According to Solas (who's not necessarily telling the whole truth, as he has his own agenda) the Evanuris were basically god-Kings who ruled over the Elven race (don't even get me started on Bioware's apparent rip-off of the Tribunal from Elder Scrolls). As they grew more and more corrupt the Evanuris turned against and murdered Mythal for more power. This led Solas to rise up against them in rebellion/ create the Veil to imprison the rest of the "gods". However, this unwittingly cut the elves off from the fade, destroying their immortality and (I assume) most of the elves' connection to magic. Now he wants to fix his "mistake" and destroy the Veil, restoring the Elven race's power.

This is where things kinda collapse for me. First off, the Veil was created to imprison the Evanuris (presumably in the Black city). Now, this implies that destroying it would free them. If the god-kings were corrupt and crazy before, I doubt 2,000 plus years of imprisonment will have helped the situation and they're probably more likely to restart the war against Solas and his supporters rather than trying to restore Elven civilization.

Second, ignoring the implications that at one point the fade and Thedas were directly connected, everyone who's played Inquisition can tell what happened when the Veil was ripped. Removing it would basically cause Thedas to be overwhelmed by demons, which included the restored elves.

Finally, there's no guarantee that removing the veil would restore the Elves immortality or the entire race's magical connection. After all its been around 2,000 years, so who knows what effects the removal of the veil would have on the elves.

In all Solas' plan (and the probable plot of DA4) seems kinda weak, with glaring wholes. --Croix129 (talk) 21:29, September 12, 2015 (UTC)
