So Solas has two different versions for his ending tarot card, correct? Here’s my very childish theory because I am not over that breakup.
Here is the romanced card.
The wolf is tiny, and white, and standing beside beside him. Solas is the main focus.
Here is the unromanced card. The wolf IS huge, and the terrifying beast that the elves call Dread Wolf.
My theory is that the Tarot cards show what Solas will become in future DLC or even a sequel.
If he is romanced, he learned to control the old god soul, and it is more like a partnership between the two, because he cares about something other than his mission, maybe even more.
If not romanced, Solas doesn’t have anyone to talk to or restore his faith in elves, so he lets the old god soul consume him and truly become Dread Wolf.
Thoughts?
I can get behind this as a possibility.
Another reason is that perhaps, in being blinded by love, a Lavellan Inquisitor sees only Solas’ noble side and ignores his dark past. The non-romanced card could be that the Inquisitor is seeing Solas as he really is.
Interestingly there is no middle ground. It is possible to be strong friends with Solas and still get this card, ruling out an Inquisitor in denial. In your theory, even a friend could potentially be enough to save Solas, but there is no middle ground card. That would be the one thing working against both our theories that I can think of.
Guess we’ll just have to wait! *PAINED SOB*
