Hopefully a clear and normal closeup like the ones we got of Vivienne
I want Solas' character kit picture. So far, in my opinion, those have been the best renditions so far of each companion. I absolutely loved Vivienne's picture.

Up close and Up front BioWare

Extreme long johns crotch closeup...?
It's late, and I'm feeling tired and silly.
Speculation: What will it mean for his personality that he compares to candied hot peppers (Scotch bonnet candy)?

Based on his expressions in some of the concept art, I think he'll have a "sweet" gentle personality, but also be something of a "spicy" hot-blooded type when it comes to his agenda (whatever it is). I could see him being all kindness and sunshine, then he turns around and crushes his enemies ruthlessly.
But I admit I have a bias for that kind of character that's likely coloring my perceptions.

Good question...that's one of the things that has got me wanting to know more about him. Is he sweet but has a fiery side to himself, or a snarky side...so many questions and not enough answers. ![]()
And another thing I've been thinking on..I think it was you or someone else mentioned maybe the reason why he is wearing torn up battered clothes is because he is alone or have been kicked out from the Dalish which of course he's an apostate soooo...that wouldn't surprise me if that turns out to be true. Still there are many things we don't know but will eventually...come on Bioware. ![]()
Ouch. Please no sweet gentle personality, i beg you. My teeth hurt.
To add something to this lovely conversation, if you look on his wikia page, it mentions that his name means "Pride" or "Stand Tall" in Elvish. The most interesting part though, is where they mention the Tevinter City called Solas that's near Nevarra...a hint that he's a tevinter mage perhaps? I'm hoping so anyway. They also say that he's an expert on the fade, which is really interesting...I'm dying to see how that comes into play.
This thread needs some new info or some wild speculation.
Wild speculation? Sure. Try not to think of what sort of tricks 'expert on the fade' LI might....uhm.. practice. ![]()
I actually got an impression from the concept art and his two smiles in them that he's kind of cocky, maybe a bit smarmy. I'm hoping he's going to be a snarker, because it would fit the tradition of snarky apostates we had so far in the Dragon Age games, a trend I heavily approve of ![]()
Anyway sweet and nice but hot-blooded and kind of fiery is the meaning that makes the most sense, imo, for what his food represents- it's what I've been thinking too. And since he's clearly Vivienne's opposite I strongly believe that he's also going to be sort of idealistic and good-doing, which would fit the 'sweet' part. Maybe he's a hot-blooded, passionate snarker externally but more of a sweet, gentle sort of guy internally? Because that would be cute, I'm just saying, and Solas, from his design is also cute so it would work.

Whatever it could be, i'm pretty sure it won't be portrayed in the game. So, fanfiction is your friend on this department.

Yeah, I could see someone of a kinder nature becoming very upset with someone as seemingly self-serving as Vivienne, especially where mage politics are concerned.
I hope, if he ends up being a kind person, that he isn't too kind. People who are way too nice, too much, just creep me out.
That's such a weird complaint. "BioWare, I don't want my companions being too nice!!"
I swear, they're like, hiding some sort of agenda or something. World domination through extreme kindness*.
*obvious sarcasm

The first character that would call my aggro PC a "biatch", while pursuing romantic interests, will have my eternal love for being honest. I can go into relations without sweets, but not without respect for a partner.

Don't forget about the hot peppers. ![]()
Uhm, Followers Friday for April. Solas...? I hope. But is it by the end of April, like with Vivienne?
April Foolsday
I hope BW won´t play with our fragile hearts...

I'm willing to bet it will be the end of April.
As for BW playing with our fragile hearts, count on it. I'm avoiding the BSN tomorrow...or at least planning to. ![]()
Don't forget about the hot peppers.
Yea, but I'm just a little wary that the 'hot peppers' side won't come out often.
I guess I'm just paranoid, personality is the biggest thing for me in romances. Character doesn't have a personality I like? No amount of sexiness can save them from the Virtual Friendzone.

A candied pepper still looks like a pepper and some are hard or crunchy. Spicy foods make me cry so I wouldn't go near a pepper like that if I didn't already know it was candied and sweet.
So my latest speculation is that Solas' appearance and outward attitude has a hot, possibly off-putting vibe (looking smug/smarmy in the art!) that might cause people to avoid getting close to him the way a mammal avoids eating a pepper (fun fact: birds eat them because they don't have capsaicin receptors). Then once you get past the hardened, survivalist apostate exterior you get the unexpected sweetness and get to keep most of the heat.
Edit: I totally forgot to creep on him in this post ![]()

I hope that's true.
It sounds like it's sort of the 'Melting the Ice Queen' trope.
I like turning angry/prickly/super snarky/etc people into emotional LI butter over time >.>

It IS april Foolsday today here in Norway...
And at he end of April? What a drag. Especially if BW don t release anything in Solas this month...
Whatever it could be, i'm pretty sure it won't be portrayed in the game. So, fanfiction is your friend on this department.

Preordered.
Edit: When they first announced the food I thought Cassandra would be the candy because she seems to have a hot temper, but also a sweet side. Perhaps it's the same for Solas.
lol Loghain gained approval when you brought him maps, but you have to take it one step further and actually stab the maps to make Solas happy
Oh, that's not all. Stabbing the map is a massive turn on for Solas, it's the only way to progress the romance subplot with him.
But at the same time you make Cassandra very upset, because stabbing maps was always her thing. If you let her stab the maps, Solas will develop a crush on her.
Best inquisition fanfiction ever in the making here.
Sorry if I'm creeping anyone out with this...
Me either, but I THINK players were told as each companion was released whether or not they were a LI.
If I remember correctly, we learned who the romances are from a leaked script. Later Bioware confirmed who they were on Valentine's Day.
