dragonageconfessions:CONFESSION:If Solas does prove to be the main antagonist of DA4 I do kind of hope that there will be more than just one fight encounter between us throughout the span of the game.Preferably, each fight would have the skills Solas uses against being more complex and evolved each time we square up, perhaps in one instance he fight us purely with rift magic and in another rift magic in addition with that blue fire the devs have been hinting at could be used for combat purposes. The reason I suggest multiple fight encounters with Solas is because I believe it not only provides an opportunity for some interesting battles but also because I think it can show how much of a threat he could be to the player on his own through the story, which is also probably why we shouldn’t win every single battle with him. Which I think could be be better than having him talk to us, slapping us around in a cutscene, then just leaving every time we happen to see him until that first and last boss fight, though that scenario isn’t necessarily doomed to fail to play up his threat factor.One of the problems with Corypheus in DAI, and even the Monitor from Anthem now that I think about it, is how little we engage with their character to the point where the danger vibes you could have gotten from your initial meeting slowly just kind of drain away and eventually completely when you actually fight them in the game for the first and last time while proceeding to wipe the floor with them. The game tells us they are extreme threats towards us and while lore wise that’s true it never really feels that way in the gameplay.So that’s why I think the devs could probably avoid that issue with a few complex boss fights with a single mainline antagonist even if that antagonist isn’t Solas and someone else instead.I agree with this confession so much. Plus, it would make things more natural in progression since they aren’t having the Inquisitor be the protag again, and that fight won’t be as satisfying if there’s not build up with this protagonist. -- source link
