The voice actor for Solas within the Dragon Age collection, Gareth David-Lloyd, not too long ago spoke about his expertise engaged on the collection and taking part in the video games: Including his favorite romance choice.
It’s himself. I imply, it’s important to respect the honesty.
Talking at York Comic Con, and filmed by streamer LadyCrazyDragon (thanks, The Gamer), it seems like David-Lloyd did not less than strive just a few different choices first. “First time I romanced Josephine [Montilyet],” begins David-Lloyd. “Lovely efficiency, garbage romance. And then the second time was Cassandra [Pentaghast]. Yes, that was a great one.
“And the final… the final time I performed a feminine character and romanced myself, which is the most effective—the most effective.”
David-Lloyd is clearly having a little bit of enjoyable with it, however the character’s followers assume he is simply speaking sense. “Solas would romance himself,” factors out Andi within the TikTok feedback, whereas Binabees admires “the conviction” behind how he declares himself “the most effective” (and clearly agrees). Others are simply amused he calls the character “myself” reasonably than Solas, which is fairly humorous.
Anyway: Not dangerous for a personality that would pretty be described as an egg.
At the identical occasion, David-Lloyd talked about being solid within the sport, and the bizarre expertise of voice appearing a personality that the makers will not inform you a lot about.

“All I knew in regards to the character, as a result of [BioWare is] so cagey about spoilers and giving issues away, was that he was an elf and that he was magic,” mentioned David-Lloyd.
“Then you go in, and so they have not given you any scripts, and there is a TV display on the wall and the strains come out with a short description on how you can say the road with a tiny little bit of context however not a lot. It was fairly nerve-wracking.”
When Inquisition got here out, David-Lloyd determined to play it and obtained hooked, “actually, actually addicted”, taking part in by means of a number of occasions and clocking up 500 hours. When it got here time to carry out in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, David-Lloyd mentioned the magic elf had change into extra like an “previous buddy.”
There is certainly an onanistic streak in voice appearing, and David-Lloyd is just not alone in romancing his digital self. The Baldur’s Gate 3 lot had been positively feral about it: Shadowheart actor Jennifer English performed with herself, and Lae’zel actor Devora Wilde could not cease doing it. And sure, Astarion actor Neil Newbon was at it, too. I imply, in fact Astarion is gonna select Astarion: As Newborn mentioned, “Why would you not?”
