LOL that's the snap I was thinking of
Oh, I certainly don't want to imagine him doing that, but it kinda happened in my head accidentally ![]()
So when I combined this:
and this:
I got this mental image of sassy Solas snapping his fingers at me and saying "You can't handle all this."
Nah, to me he looks like he's stretching his back and about to say something like:
Solas> Can't we at least have some tea before we start the meeting? You woke me up...
it does seem to me to be a tweaked face in the recent new screenshot, you know, compared to the image where his hand clips through the rock. if so, I prefer the tweaked version.
I can see Solas taking an interest in and befriending Cole.
Do we know how Solas is pronounced? Like Mordin Solus? The word solace? SOL-ass? Sol-ASS? Soul... Saul...

Our minds can come up with some funny thoughts now and then that's for sure!
Like here lately I've been playing a little bit of DA2 and my Hawke came upon a chest he opened it and sadly it was torn trousers again...every time it's torn trousers I immediately think "Maybe these are Solas's torn trousers that he outgrowned!"
....Haha I've been playing to much DA lately. ![]()
@Brass He does look like he's stretching a bit...though when I first saw it,it looked like he was puffing his chest out *loooong sniff* You smell that? Male pride!!!! lol ![]()
I've been pronouncing it like Mordin's name, but now that I think about it, I have no idea. Hmm...

I don't think he's actually been tweaked, or if he has, not much. The major difference is in the angle of his head and the lighting. In the outdoors screenshot, the lighting coming from above is making the dark circles under his eyes look darker. In the new one, the lighting is probably coming from somewhere on the table, or such. So, you don't really see the dark circles so much.
One thing I don't see in the newer screenshot above is the cleft in his chin, but then half of his chin is covered by his fluffy fur coat/bedroll/whatever that thing is. And he MAY possibly have a softer line to his cheekbones?
But mostly I do believe it's just the lighting.

It's his expression that says "stretching" to me. I think I get a similar slightly-frowny expression when stretching my back. Although my expression is probably much more pronounced than his. He's also kind of got a sleepy squint going on there. Although, the almost-smirk he's got there might suggest he's just not taking the meeting seriously--at all.
I don't think he's taking it seriously either,gotta love that smirk...I laughed when you wrote out fluffy fur coat/bedroll/whatever that thing is might be wolf pelt? Idunno.....
Watched The Princess Bride tonight. Cannot unsee.

Solas was the one buying all the moth-eaten scarves to make his clothes, I don't think he'd waste a perfectly repurposable pair of trousers. ![]()
Hmmmm. And the question of what the fur thing is, brings up the question: what kind of animal did that fur come from?
You can sew together more than one pelt, so it might not necessarily be a large animal.
The fur seems more dense than wolf fur, unless it's a very cold-weather wolf--in which case the pelt would be a lighter color. It's fluffier than deer fur usually is, but it could be from one of those deer from the screenshot that we didn't get a good look at. They could have dense pelage.
What the fur density reminds me of is a beaver or an otter, but the pattern does suggest it came from a singular animal. Giant beavers/otters? Unlikely... And the color is rabbit-like, but I doubt there are rabbits that large, either.
So, maybe it is from a bear? Or maybe it belongs to whatever creature the jawbone necklace he wears is from? And if it is not a bear, then perhaps it is indeed from a wolf, or some kind of mountain goat/sheep thing, even if the fur type does not seem to match up.
Is the fur thing a wrap, the lining of a coat? It does kind of look like, from the angle in that new screenshot, it might be folded over and exposing the lining of a coat, but his clothing doesn't seem to add that much bulk to his body. Also, why would he then tie the lining of the coat around the coat?
I have a speculative notion that it might be his bedroll/sleeping fur, except he uses it to wrap around him rather than carry it rolled up.
Whatever it is, I still want to pet it and bury my face in it. Maybe the Inquisitor can go to Solas for a good shoulder-cry and then just linger there on that soft-looking fur... and Solas can then look reaaaaaally awkward about the situation, because that hug went on way too long...

Maaaybe not! That's why his pants are....tight!!! ![]()

It does look thick like a bear....and if you look closely he's still wearing those tight pants yes!...his shirt looks green not white or grey like it is in the picture with Cassandra maybe it's just the lighting....sorry that totally went somewhere else...it does look either like a bear or wolf he might use it for other reasons other than to wrap it around himself since possibly they will be living or visiting cold areas.
Oooh I just had a romantic thought...
My Inquisitor forgot to bring something for the cool weather and he offers her his fur coat... ![]()

I agree that it looks like a bear. Though the "great wolves" in TWoT look like they have fairly thick pelts so maybe it's a great wolf. I'm just glad it doesn't look like it matches this guy:

Do we know how Solas is pronounced? Like Mordin Solus? The word solace? SOL-ass? Sol-ASS? Soul... Saul...
It's pronounced like Mordin's name. SOL-luss. One of the devs said it out loud in a video somewhere but I wouldn't know where to start digging that up!
Also, staring at that picture I can't help but imagine Solas judging everything my Inquisitor does on the map and her getting sick of it.
Inquisitor: *moves a marker to the left*
Solas: *squints*
Inquisitor: *looks at Solas and slowly starts moving the marker to the right instead*
Solas: *squints harder and frowns slightly*
Inquisitor: *slams her hands on the table in frustration* Solas, would YOU like to come up with the plan!?

omg I'm trying really hard not to laugh because my husband is staring at me from across the room and he'll think I'm weird but I can picture this so easily, it's awesome ![]()

I wouldn't want to kill that cute wittle cweature! ....Unless I had to do it to feed everybody ![]()

LOL!!!
I could totally see that...I would love to see my inquisitor get teased like that by Solas! ![]()
Solas: *pinches the bridge of his nose* And what's the logic behind this strategy?
Inquisitor: The map looks nice when I arrange the markers like this.
Solas: *long suffering sigh*
Hahaha oh no, now I'm picturing the Inquisitor being so DONE after a few sessions that they just start making pictures with the markers instead.
Solas: Wait, what....I don't understand....
Inquisitor: *in her Qunari, deadpan delivery* It looks like a kitty. I like kitties.

Just tell him the truth. You spend too much time talking about a bald elf. My bf google image searched Solas last night to check out the competition, and half the image results were pictures from this thread. It was pretty damn funny.

I'm hoping we can catch one and give it to Leliana to replace Schmooples (who is probably dead by now, let's face it).
On the fur thing, I forgot to mention that in HoDA some wolves have odd coloured fur. I'm not sure if it will be in DAI, but it might result in some interesting clothing choices for Solas if it is.

I actually jumped in my chair when I saw that pic lol....hmmm I doubt it but if we could keep one as a pet that would be cool. I like that there's going to be different clothing/armor for our companions. Even though I enjoy playing DA2 I didn't like that their clothing/armor stayed the same during the game.I'm hoping we can catch one and give it to Leliana to replace Schmooples (who is probably dead by now, let's face it).

Whoa, that thing is awesome. I want to tame one and be friends with it. ![]()

Yeah, the rank 4 wolf looks a lot like a striped hyena or aardwolf (which is a termite-eating... hyena). The rank 2 and 3 wolf look like they have scars or something, but I think they are different colored stripes. Only the rank 1 wolf looks like a normal wolf. So, it's conceivable the fur may be from a wolf, but again, to me, that fur texture Solas wears doesn't look wolfish. Wolves also have shaggier fur...
