Hugs Brass Buckles. You always make coherent and well thought out posts and I do enjoy them. I think the wild speculation about Solas being a romance is mostly fueled by hope and lack of information about him. We still only have a few tiny snippets of information so the thread is still running on fumes. I, personally wouldn't be crushed if there were no romances at all. They are a fun, but non-essential, part of gameplay. I loved the original Baldur's Gate even with its fairly limited (by today's standards) companion interactions and no romances at all.
Personally, I would love to see a weekly fan art/fanfic challenge on this thread based on a theme, like we had in the old Zev thread. However, I don't know that we have enough information on Solas to make that work yet. The artwork in here is so amazing that I don't worry about that, but fanfic is much harder without even a snippet of dialog to base the character's tone off of (not that I haven't tried).
Solas as the Hermit. Thank you Solas for that link. I admit I have never gotten into tarot cards and my exposure to them is purely based on their appearance in books that I read (Ru Emerson's "The Princess of Flames" comes to mind). Anyway, the analysis was fascinating and I enjoyed reading it. Hmm, that might even make a topic for a weekly art/fanfic challenge....
I like the idea of having a fanart/fanfic challenge! It's definitely something we could look at getting going in the thread.
Glad you found the analysis enjoyable! 
I definitely agree abouit the Hermit/Seeker fitting Solas perfectly. (I can also see the Death card still, if that's what they went with.) I could also see them applying the Hermit card to Cole though. He is very truly isolated and on a journey of self discovery.
And of course, they might have created their very own Major Arcana, as other games/books/shows have done. Hm. Do we know if they are going with traditional? Geez I can't wait to get my hands on those cards.
Death is my second choice for Solas after Hermit! I can also see Cole as the Hanged Man.
I did wonder in my tarot speculation topic if they created their own major arcana ("The Seeker", "The Warden" etc) and we don't know either way for sure but Dorian's pose is very much like the Hierophant's typical pose and so I would guess they followed the normal arcana. I am so unreasonably excited for the cards!!
