as i get closer to finishing this playthrough, i once again find myself locked in the dilemma of "the trick solas ending is sick as hell and very in character for lydia" vs. "i can't do any other ending for solas besides the mythal one bc i feel so bad for him and I wanna see my inky" 🫠

#the thing is that I'd always liked the idea of lydia having an arc about trying to find peaceful solutions #instead of diving straight to violence (after shit like starting the bar fight and punching the first warden had bad Consequences)#but really the trick ending doesn't negate that and has suchhh a cathartic line in “Varric taught me. and you killed him”#before i played the game the Trick ending would have been the PERFECT scenario for how I wanted to defeat solas #but then the game went and made me really feel for him :(#hot take but I actually wasn't that impressed with his character in DAI #but i find him and his backstory Extremely Compelling in Veilguard #and having Mythal release him from her service and James give One Last Shot at talking him down. and seeing Solas FINALLY do the right thin #ngl it's very powerful #but it does take basically all the focus off of rook/their companions to do this #i think the problem (or not really a problem but my Dilemma)#is that the Trick ending is a very good end to Veilguard but the Mythal Ending is a very good end to Inquisition #i'm going to prepare for th Mythal ending just in case but we shall see what I actually end up doing #datv #datv spoilers #veilguard spoilers #oc: lydia laidir #<- just bc I think this is the first time I've mentioned her Arc
