Yeah, there's several reasons he might not have tattoos, but still born to the Dalish. Maybe he left the Dalish, or his clan was destroyed when he was still young. The thing is it's not clear and people ought not to assume and then spread it around that he is Dalish. I quite like the theory that he's an ancient elf who has more or less just woken up, but I'm not sure if they'd do that as it is fairly similar to Javik.
Won't lie this is my all time favourite theory about Solas!
When I first tried the Dalish origin I removed the tattoos because I thought they were all ugly as hell. Oops.
...Then the one that looks like Hala antlers grew on me like crazy.
I had sort of the opposite problem--not knowing what they were, I almost put them on my Amell before deciding to go with the blue blush instead. That would have been some awkward cultural appropriation for a human ex-noble.
EDIT: Also, agree with CuriousArtemis that I don't think Solas is probably an LI anyway, and with Lorien19 that Solas as resurrected sleeping ancient elf would be awesome.

For me as long as Solas is a slightly insane science like character I'll be happy lol Kinda like Mordin, less alien obviously. 
He does look a bit like Nick cage in some pictures though c__c

I'd quite like him to be Thedas' answer to Sheldon Cooper.
OMG YES!

...yes. Just...yes.
I have almost forgotten Solas, it seems like ages since there was any info of him ^^; I like his baldness and pyjama pants but I don't care about his face that much, his eyes are too small and he totally looks like Nicholas Cage XD I'm intrested of his story arc as well and I wonder what kinda of personality he will have since only information I have got about him is how he looks like, that he's apostate and fade expert

. Talking of which.... are there any conspiracy theories yet related to the lion helmet? As for what reason he's wearing it?
Since Morrgian is wearing a pretty dress in that shot...can we assume they just escaped from the Orlesian ball still wearing their masks??
I'm out, have exam study to do. Now the real test is if I post TOMORROW as well...that means it wasn't just a one off

Cullen at a ball would be fantastic though.

Thanks for sharing your opinion!
Hi! Another lurker de-lurking here
it's the first time I'm on a Bioware forum (man, this community is huge, this will be so time-consuming - I love it!).
I've played DA:O obsessively in the last years, I think it was one of the first games I picked up after a loooong phase of not playing anything at all. On my first playthrough as mage I stumbled into Cullen, fell in love, and yeah, fast-forward to today, now I'm here. I only finished DA2 recently, friends always told me it was boring and not worth the time (?????? couldn't disagree more), but I think the characters really make up for the lack of diverse dungeon maps.
Concerning Cullen's views on mages: I always felt that he is aware of their strength while at the same time knowing all too well the dangers that come with such power and responsibility. I never took him as a mage hater - but I'm pretty sure the events at Kirkwall will put him in a position where he had to reflect once more on templars, mages and their relationships with each other. Oh, I'm so curious to see what kind of character development he'll have in DA:I.
I'm so exited for DA:I I'm counting the days and crawling through forums ^--^ I've lurked long enough to read the last 30ish pages of this thread, but apologies in advance if I ask something that's already been answered or discussed. Talking of which.... are there any conspiracy theories yet related to the lion helmet? As for what reason he's wearing it?
Wow. We're getting so many new peeps. It's exciting. And WELCOME!! Make yourself at home! 
Yay new people! Welcome! Stay! I did, and it's awesome 
my Cullenite peoples. Not that I'm a great leader or anything, since I get far too busy. Summer man... it's supposed to be relaxing, but alas, there appears to be more to do! Psh, summer.
Um... my opinion on 'the famous or infamous quote' by Cullen is that, I get that he's hurting, that he's been tortured and traumatized and has experienced something that I don't think we can truly understand as players. And I understand (now) why he responded the way he did in game, how that experience shaped his view of a people with whom he had earlier had great sympathy for.
But the issue that keeps cropping up with me is that Cullen isn't just someone with PTSD, he's someone with PTSD, with authority over the people who were ostensibly the source of his mental anguish, and that just doesn't sit right with me. Like I said before his character has gone through a lot and frankly by the endgame I have come to see him (Cullen) as the exemplar of what the Templar Order should be, maybe we don't agree on everything but someone who can be respected.
Putting it this way what if it wasn't Cullen that was tortured by the blood mages but another templar, and that templar ended up as Knight-Captain in Kirkwall, does anyone think that they would've had the same restraint that Cullen did and not take out their own pain on the mages?
I'm not trying to stir anything up or step on anyone's toes, that's just how I feel about it.

Aww thanks! Seems like you're all very relaxed and nice folks, I'm sure I'll stick around
I haven't posted in here yet because the huge size of this thread has intimidated me a bit... but I have been wanting to say that I'm really enjoying Cullen's new look with the FB engine. He looks goooood. :3

Oh yes, he looks good... so far! I want to see his face in DETAILS.

Don't be intimidated! We love adding new people to the mix! Join Us....
Dorian is freaking hot!!! I wants him like.. NOW
Cut for huge image, but look at that. If not for the mustache IMO he'd be giving Kaidan a serious run for his money as best-looking guy in a Bioware game ever.
(pls be bi-- for a funny, cocky, attractive male mage I will do a second playthrough no questions asked)
EDIT: eyes look pretty hazel to me, see above -- I think Lola's saying in the print they sent her they were blue
Wait his eyes are blue?!?! I can't see on mobile dammit!!!Wheeeey! His eyes are a different colour now, they're blue in my picture, lol.
Good looking guy, he's supposed to be funny too... I suspect I'm gonna have trouble not romancing him. Dammit Cullen, you better pull this one out of the bag or I suspect I'll end up preferring Dorian as my main squeeze.
I think I'm really going to like Dorian. Mage, charming and witty is exactly how I intend to make my quizzy. They'll get along great.
I just wish he'd get rid of the moustache.
