I am looking at some of the pre-release threads and interviews because they're just so funny. Like the Weekes interview for instance.
[DRAGON AGE]: What can you tell us about Solas?
[PATRICK WEEKES]: He’s pretty straightforward, honestly. Just your average elven apostate who voluntarily joins the Inquisition in the middle of the mage rebellion to lend his expertise with the Fade.
thehehe he lied as much as Solas 
I've been thinking about that. Saying that Solas lied a lot. The only things we know he lied about was a bit of his knowledge about ancient elves and court.
He very well could have seen a lot of the stuff in the Fade. I got the impression he only woke up really recently, like shortly before Cory opened the rift recently. Wasn't that Sleeping thing putting themselves in the fade in a semi-consciousness?
THIS PICTURE KEEPS MAKING ME LAUGH EVERY TIME SOMEONE QUOTES IT AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY...
I'm just sitting here, giggling to myself like a weirdo. Thanks, Solas thread. >:C
He looks so...uncertain, and wary. I love it.
So I've got a random wolf that's marked as friendly on my map. I blame Solas. Can I adopt him?

Can I just say this was the first moment I fell in love with the nerd, in game? I selected "Are you with the Chantry?" to Varric and Solas laughs and says, "Was that a serious question?" That must be why his nickname is
I found a wolf figurine and that is never leaving my inventory!

Depends on what you consider a lie, and whether you're measuring by quantity or by magnitude. He definitely lies by omission quite a bit. Not telling anyone about Cory is a pretty big lie. Not telling the woman that you're involved with that you're actually the recently-awoken trickster god of her people is also a pretty big sort of lie.
We don't know what he's specifically seen in the Fade vs. in the physical world; I think any time he's talking about Arlathan or ancient elves, he's talking about lived experiences. Everything else might be stuff he saw in the Fade.
So um, I don't remember seeing this come up on the thread before, but then again, it moves really fast, so i could have missed it. But uh...Kotaku had an article about a mod to make all your companions naked.

So uh...in case you wanted to see a naked Solas doll (along with everyone else)....there ya go. Not very safe for work....

I've played through that prologue dozens of times now (trying to get Quizzie's face right). Every time I hear that line I think of an anime-style Quizzie raising her hackles like "are you making fun of me Egg-head I just saved your bald ***?!"
Tha voice chuckling
Every time he laughs I'm just like
Do Dalish marry within the clan? Do Keepers marry? How does courtship work?
They do. I remember that from DA:O. I think the Dalish Elf's father or mother was a Keeper, so they were "technically" descended from some sort of Elven nobility. I have no idea how courtship works though. 
Probably like it does everywhere?
How bound do you think Solas is to his god-nature? If he's the "god of rebellion" is he somehow magically compelled to act rebelliously (as spirits/Cole are/is)? Or is it that his personality was rebellious and thus that persona was attached to him? Or somewhere in the middle? I guess this ties into the "what is Solas" question...
I don't know if he actually is a god in the sense of say the Nine Divines or the Daedric Princes. He is certainly a very powerful mage and probably manages to break into the Arthur C Clarke quote category about magic and technology with his godhood. I think he's more like a Pharoah kind of god than a Maker and I feel like he's more bound by a sense of personal duty to right his past wrongs than he is by any divine mandate. He's a very human/mortal character.
Do you think Solas undervalues the Wardens because he's possibly never experienced a blight first-hand?
I honestly think Flemeth's quote about Morrigan in Dragon Age 2 applies to him. He's a man who thinks he knows what is what better than anyone. They were binding demons, possibly good spirits, which is a no, no for him and planning to assault the old gods. Though I think he does say that the old gods of Tevinter have nothing in common with his people, but it does hit close to home. One of his big character flaws is his inability to either understand or accept the world as it is. He believes he knows what is right and for all his open mindedness, he's very closed off toward the world. He's a man out of time, the Fade is more real to him and he has more in common with the spirits there than he does with those living in Thedas now. He doesn't know the terror of the Blight, he does know the horror of mages imprisoning and enslaving his friends.
No brainer, really.
For fun: If your Lavellan had three tarot cards, what three do they think they'd be (my third one is the Moon, can't decide on the others)
Ooh, fun. I don't know enough about Tarot to be really accurate but I'll throw some out there.
1) Death
2) Strength
3) The Star
For fun #2: What's your quizzie up to these days?
She's trying to rediscover the past history of the Ancient Elves to try to help build a better future for the City Elves and the Dalish. She feels she needs to learn more about the Fade (and her own powers) through exploration. She's working mostly with Cole and Dorian with a little help from Vivienne every now and then with Bull watching their backs while they all sleep. (They don't trust her to leave out food for the spiders. Well, Cole does. Dorian... no, no spiders.) Interestingly, I headcanon that Abelas came back because the world was more full of humans than he thought and he needs the Inquisition's help to find a new place to live. Lavellan and Abelas are coming to an understanding. Cole, however, doesn't like it one bit.
I have a headcanon that my Lavellan goes to Cole for insight on the matter. He can see into people, and I think he can tell if two people could be happy together. She'd go to him like: should I be hurting this bad, and is it worth it?
And I pin Terrwyn to be around 26.
That's interesting. In my headcanon, Cole goes off into her memories or relates Solas' whenever she starts to move on toward someone else whether that's Cullen or a crack ship with Abelas, I'm not sure. He doesn't want to hurt her any more than she is already, but he doesn't want her to give up on Solas either. I don't know, I can just see him being an irritating little guy about it in his own adorable way.

This was the exact moment I knew.
I was like: "Oh no he's hot."
That chuckle gahhhh and the lilt in his voice when he says serious.
I'm not gonna lie. I squee every time I hear it. Can I just get a recording of him reading the dictionary or something to lull me to sleep at night?
The dread wolf is clever he want the ancient power only for himself, he smile upon the death of the other elven gods, he is the best friend of Elgar nan, one rule over the Thedas the other over the black city.
So my new favorite past time when I'm driving is listening to banter playlists on YouTube and I've been listening to the party comments based on various locations. There is a hilarious running joke some of you have probably heard. Every time Sera comes into a new area she goes "Ohhhh the Veil is scratchy here" or "the veillllllll is wet", mocking Solas. It's really funny, and in one of locations Varric or someone mentions how Solas is always taking about the Veil and Solas acts all affronted "I do not." And then the party members are all like...."actually bro yeah you do" lol. It's great.
its funnier because Lavellan can also get in on it, and go "yes you do Solas." which is funnier still if you are romancing him.. lol lover teasing.
I love when Lavellan can get in on the teasing. I finally got the Sera versus Solas romance bark and then felt bad cause [laugh] came off as offended at Sera. 
I'm not gonna lie. I squee every time I hear it. Can I just get a recording of him reading the dictionary or something to lull me to sleep at night?
Would get Varric to narrate my life and Solas to read it 
one funny thing i noticed about the final romance scene with Solas is that he immediately goes for Lavellan's ass. lol he's a butt man.
I just made a new Lavellan, Rhiannon... I tried to make her pretty for Solas
