The voice actor for Solas in the Dragon Age series, Gareth David-Lloyd, recently shared a candid moment regarding his gameplay experience.

David-Lloyd humorously stated that his favorite way to play Dragon Age: Inquisition is as a female character who romances himself, calling it the best option. This remark was made during a panel at York Comic Con, where he recalled his initial experiences in the game:

“First time I romanced Josephine [Montilyet], lovely performance, rubbish romance. The second time was Cassandra [Pentaghast]. Yes, that was a good one.”

He continued,

“And the last time I played a female character and romanced myself, which is the best—the best.”

His comments garnered laughter from fans, with many agreeing that the character Solas would indeed choose to romance himself. Fans engaged with David-Lloyd’s playful honesty, appreciating his acknowledgment of the character’s complexities.

The session, recorded by streamer LadyCrazyDragon, was filled with laughs as David-Lloyd talked about the unique experiences of voicing a character shrouded in mystery, emphasizing how little information BioWare provided before recording.

David-Lloyd describe his journey through the game as deeply engaging, amassing over 500 hours of gameplay and forming a connection with Solas as if he were an old friend.

Overall, this light-hearted interaction showcases the close relationship voice actors can have with their roles, blending humor with genuine appreciation for the characters they bring to life.
