There's a cutscene with Cullen in which you play a board game with him and get to know him--no kissing involved. Something like with Solas would have been A+.
That part was pretty touching.
I would have loved to see a Solas x Lavellan scene where they play some kind of card game. We do know he is great at playing Wicked Grace. 
Edit: Sorry for the double-post...
...I really do hope there is a reason for that well scene confusion. We do know that one of his quests (the war map quest) is currently bugged. So maybe he would beg if you actually did that mission? Grasping for straws here. ._.
I just made a thread about it! Maybe someone will see it and let us know what the heck happened there...
I know what you mean... I love the scenes we have and I'm glad he's an option
But it seems kinda weird if you think about it
Like, they just make out three times and that's it
Just one more in between scene would have already done some magic I think, the two of them doing something "normal" just being together
That is something we can add with modding. I modded that for Thane in my Mass Effect 3. He always had the kiss option ready.
First time I tried I messed up and instead of kissing he punched Sheridan 
(he was punching the air right before they met).
It seems more to me that some lines in the well scene were cut and they didn't realize that it didn't mesh with a later Solas conversation. It doesn't seem like a deliberate choice to me, just a mistake.
I'd have been happier if there was a single scene where he wasn't reluctant and/or sad. Just something to prove that he'd been really, truly happy in the relationship at some point. Although given the state he was in, I'm beginning to doubt that he could have been truly happy even for a few minutes.
I don't know... drunk, dancing, and wearing that hat has to come pretty close.

That's true! The one romance scene that doesn't have a kicked puppy moment in it!

The two happiest scenes I have with Solas are when the Inquisitor kisses him the first time (though the happiness only lasts a few seconds), and the way he was at the ball. I think he was happy, but he always reminded himself that he shouldn't be. We do need more scenes like that though. After the second kiss, I was absolutely positive we were going to get another cutscene of them enjoying each other's company or him showing her something special in the fade. The second scene just felt like the beginning of something. It did not feel like the halfway point of a romance, and yet it was.
Real bummer.
Oh, no. I don't mean have sex. I mean when you romance Cullen, you can go visit him and ask him for a kiss, whenever you want after the romance is established. You ask him for a kiss, he says give me a moment to get away, and there's a cute little scene of them kissing out on the battlements outside his office. Then he goes back in to work. But you get to do it whenever you want, so the romance doesn't feel so empty.
Solas doesn't have that?
Hah. Look at me, mind going straight to the frick frack snick snack.
As others have answered, sadly, no. 
Why does the phrase "This is why we can't have nice things..." rolling through my head?
I don't know if these've been posted, but I found these videos on tumblr and thought they added some insight to his feelings on elves, and perspective that I found I didn't really get in my playthrough. For all his criticism, he does care about their sad state. It's also interesting (imo) to note that he says he "sees no way" to help, but that seems to change by the time that last scene comes around.

Agreed on it feeling like the beginning of something and not the halfway point. Just one more scene of them doing something together and actually being happy about it would have been great.

I dunno, it's not all that far-fetched if you consider history in our own world. Look at the Pharoahs for example - they were considered to be gods on earth.
Yeah Solas's lack of romance scenes does bother me, I'll admit, especially compared to Cullen who was also a late edition. It's almost as if they were only going to do Cullen first and halfway in were like "Oh, I bet Solas would be a good romance too, let's throw him in there."
Then again, it felt like he had a lack of scenes in general even without the romance. Comparing him to Cassandra, it's really palpable. I just wonder why, since he's clearly going to be important in the future.

That's one theory. We don't actually know what happened in that scene, so it's hard to say.
It is nice and all, but is Lavellan trying to eat him or something? Reminds me of the snake-hat from the Little Prince for some reason.
Is this about the piece of art that was recently posted? Careful what you say guys about pics and fanfic (be polite), it wouldn't be nice to upset an artist or writer. 
Okay, think along with me if you like
I was just watching my boyfriend siding with the templars and there is a part where the Envy demon dressed up as Leliana says "Is this shape useful? Will it let me know you? Everything tells me about you, so will this: Watch"
Something about the way she says "Everything" keeps bugging me, if "everything" is being used as "anything" then there is no reason to say "so will this" because "everything" would already cover that, right?
Similar to Cole's post breakup banter where he says " He hurts, an old pain from before, when everything sang the same. You're real and it means everyone could be real. It changes everything but it can't" I also find it peculair that focus in that first sentence lies on "could" instead of "everyone"
In Awakening when you spoke to the Architect ( who is probably one of the Magisters as well with his talkative nature and all 
) and the Mother, they describe the call from the Old Gods as music. And then there are the Dwarves who claim that they find lyrium by listening to the Stone sing. Also lyrium apparently sings as well according to Justice and Cole ( in Asunder).. And then there was a lot of people singing on the way towards Skyhold ...
No but seriously, what is this Everything?
The Well scene may be bugged, but I felt I had all warning I needed not to drink that stuff. There were ancient elves shuffling 'round that place unable to stop guarding it and they mentioned being bound to Mythal several times, no way my Levellan would be bound to anything capable of doing that. Apart from Solas that is.
And I got to say, I'm on my second playthrough, I really didn't appreciate the wind in Haven enough last time... Wind and camera control in conversations almost makes up for the lack of Solascontent.
That's our Solas' (as in the one here who started this thread) blog, it's a great post, I believe it's in the OP.
My name is MJ, if you guys want things to be less confusing and less "Solas as in the OP Solas" lol
Another interesting thing to note is that, when Solas
I sure hope so.

It could well be that the Inquisitor is a Dreamer. given the prevalence of Tevinter ancestry in the Free Marches where your human Quizzy comes from and the predominance of the Somniari (Dreamer) gift amongst the Elves (Remember Feynriel in DA2).. exposure to the Orb could have woken up her abilities it could well be that she is an untrained Dreamer after all Feynriel's gift as a Dreamer did not appear until he was in late adolescence. This could explain why Solas feels she is different - because she is a Dreamer as well and just has not been trained- after all neither the Dalish nor the Circle in Kirkwall could train Feynriel (though I think given the ancestral hatred of Dreamers amongst the Elves- won't may be the more correct answer) they had to send him to Tevinter
Just wondering, if you allow Solas to remove the face tattoo, will other people comment on it?
It says in the FAQ Josie, Sera, Cole and Cass all comment on it at least
