Whoa...Solas is so far down on the popularity scale? O.O Why?

I think it's because this survey was taken after most people had just gotten the chance to do a single playthrough. I can see a lot of people going for Cass and Cullen first because they'd been waiting for them for so long. But I've seen a lot of people talk about how they rolled a female lavellan for solas after seeing the ending.

 

I also think the people who did Solas's romance and liked him as a character have become very vocal about how much they like him in order to perhaps persuade the devs to release DLC for him and our quizzies.  :lol:  And hey, it might work. After all, fan demand is what got them to make Garrus a love interest in ME2.

We're still on first playthroughs for a lot of folks.  I wouldn't be surprised if more people try the Solas romance now that they know what's up with him.

 

Or they'll be sensible unlike us and just NOPE NOPE NOPE away from that heartbreaker pajama elf  :lol:

 

Well, romancing Solas first ruined the other romances for me (which seems to be a common sentiment here).  I went into it thinking he was some wandering apostate hermit, and just like my Lavellan, I fell for that character... hahaha, oh how little we knew.

Would not want to be BW right now. Forum practically riots when something goes wrong :-\

 

 

 

For anyone that's interested, someone on reddit is doing an unofficial survey of DA characters (what race/gender/romance/etc.). You can participate and/or see the current results here.

I was sad to see Solas so far down on the list!  :(  I had to take the survey and give him my support! It surprised me, really... I think his romance makes the story far more interesting!

Well in the character poll in spoiler scuttlebutt Solas has nearly as many votes as Dorian and Cass, who are the frontrunners. I think he's a rather popular character.

Once Upon a Dream will forever be my guilty Disney Solas romance song :D specifically the version used in Maleficient, rather than the original... https://www.youtube....h?v=TZ44x0GnKh4

 

I'm also partial to the cracky idea of everyone singing 'I'm On My Way' from Brother Bear when they're going to Skyhold, and Solas is the grumpy Kenai begging everyone to stop singing because it's annoying him haha... I don't know who the moose would be

OMG.  Now I'm picturing the epic Skyhold sequence in-game, but with everyone just belting that song at the top of their lungs.

 

Solas: Never mind.  Not giving you people the magical castle any more.  Go live in the woods.  Solas out.

This is amazing, and basically how I headcanon a lot of their post-second kiss intimate moments.

 

Also, speaking of Wicked, "As Long as You're Mine" is basically perfect.

It's crazy how well those lyrics fit.

Hahahahahaha whenever I get sad about Solas' romance I'm just going to imagine annoyed grumpy Solas being annoyed and grumpy at the silly mortals constantly singing annoying Disney songs :D

 

Also on a slightly unrelated note, anyone else think that the new translated (from elven) version of 'I Am the One' seems rather like a song about Solas?

It just brings to mind, Solas wandering in the Fade finding the Quizzy and just hanging out, and it was a dream, so she recognizes him but not from where.  I like this one the best.  Now that would be an epic fanfiction.

"For Good" from Wicked might fit even better even though it's between Elphaba and Glinda. 

 

Every time I listen to that song and Elphaba sings this part it gives me chills:

 

"It may well be

That we will never meet again

In this lifetime,

So let me say before we part:

So much of me

Is made from what I learned from you.

You'll be with me,

Like a handprint on my heart.

 

And now whatever way our story ends, 

I'll know you have re-written mine, by being my friend."

 

Change friend to lover and it'll be even more perfect!

Considering that ~20% of the people answering the survey are playing female elves, I'd say Solas' 7.5% doesn't seem that bad. We just need to work on making more converts ;)

Ha!

 

Seriously though,

 

"Kiss me too fiercely

Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight.
My wildest dreamings
Could not foresee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me"

 

"Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes"

 

"Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time"

 

:wub:

 

I hope PW releases that writing playlist soon.

Yeah. I think of "As long as you're mine" as the during-the-romance theme and "for good" as the post-romance theme (though hopefully not the final time they see each other).

You have to hold off on completing Here Lies the Abyss and do Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts. If you just do the first part of Here Lies the Abyss, where you find the "Warden friend" in Crestwood, said Warden friend will go back to Skyhold. Leave and come back enough, and eventually the Warden friend will show up in the garden and have an ambient conversation with Morrigan. I don't know if

Spoiler
can talk with Morrigan or not, but

definitely does. And

wouldn't have a reason to talk to Morrigan anyway, so I doubt he talks with her. lol

 

Man, I keep forgetting to spoil tag stuff that people might not know. D:

I had no idea!

Thanks for sharing this by the way.

If we're doing musicals...

 

I posted this before, but when I think of Solas guiding Lavellan through the wonders of the Fade, I think of "The Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera:

Well if you are on PC and can wait to patch, I would. Seems it's pretty terrible over on the thread. Also: don't read the thread. It hurts.

 

The patch ruined my game, and I cannot roll back.  I built a new PC specifically for this game, and I simply cannot play with these horrible graphics.

Oh I know! Prince of Egypt is an ear worm for me. And we can't be blamed! Inquisition intentionally evokes biblical parallels. :D
