Some very interesting theories in this post on reddit. I don't agree with all of them [I don't personally think Solas created the blight], but definitely some interesting thoughts!
I think he may have... by accident. Because, y'know, everything bad in Thedas ever was caused by Solas by accident. 
That's... not really funny, is it?

Solas returning to Arlathan.
Haha, I have my playthrough posted on youtube, and for the 2nd kiss scene, someone commented, "Now I know why this scene was so awkward with my male mage." lol
I wish he had gotten special romance scenes, instead of just extensions of scenes everyone else got.
UST is one of my favorite romance tropes ever, and both Solas and Anders' romances just burst with it. Anders' kiss scene is IMO also the precursor to the awesome kissing we get in DA:I; it's like at some point along the line, BioWare realized that kissy sound effects really add to the illusion of hot makeouts
It does kill it a bit when I think about the VAs having to make out with the backs of their hands, though.
I can't decide if Anders' first kiss or Fenris's wall-slam kiss is better (glowing tattoos are a bonus). Hmm...

OMG that is perfect XD

They're both good. But I think I have to go with Anders. The way he just pounces on you....in front of everyone.
But Solas beats them both.
RE: Dom!Solas...
Do I find it hot? Heck yes.
Do I like to read it? Heck yes.
Do I think it's 100% in character? No.

I like this 
I also think that:
I'm more inclined to believe he likes to be chased, to be pursued by someone whose interest he values. He wants the Inquisitor to show their interest in him. I don't really see him as jealous or even possessive (outside of a select few cases) because sometimes I think he honestly doesn't believe anyone else can compete with him. If Lavellan leaves him, he accepts it because it's the smart play but if she wants him and gives him permission...
He's a god, he's used to being in power and having power over others. I don't get the feeling he enjoys it or enjoys having others in his power. Their entire relationship is Lavellan making all the moves and everything is her choice from start to finish except the breakup. She's in control, she seeks him out, and he reciprocates when she does.
Yes, all of this.
He definitely makes a point of making sure Lavellan takes each step forward in their relationship. (Whether this is just because he is simply so friggin confident in himself, he enjoyed being pursued, or both - I can't say haha.) He gave her lots of opportunity to call it off, but certainly was very pleased whenever she affirmed that she wanted him. Solas also seemed especially concerned with her mark, if it changed her at all - I read that as him being concerned that he had influence over her, something he did not seem to care for.
Sigh, now I want DLC so I can chase him down...

Fenris's wall-slam kiss ftw
But Solas beats them both.
Yes, of course 
I'm really impressed with how well done Solas's kisses are. Mechanically and emotionally.

The wall slam is nice but the tiny moans Ander's makes had my tummy doing flips.. idk, it's a close one.

I wish Fenris had slammed my Hawke against the wall. She would NOT have complained. However, I loved the Anders romance as well. Heck, Anders in general is an amazing character. I fell in love with him in Awakening, and I was so psyched when I saw I could romance him in DA:2
So, um, I can't be the only one who downloaded the Cinematic Tool and used it to get up and close with Solas, right? Right?!
Holy bedroom eyes, Solas! (This is my Lavellan's pre-kiss POV 
)

This would explain why when I got Solas's personal quest, I was like, "Is it just me or is he really HOT when he's furious?"
God, I hope there aren't any devs lurking. I'm such a perv.

I wasn't going to mention this for 2 reasons:
1. I am ashamed to admit that that also gave me butterflies
2. I may have to go back to my saves and replay those moments now...

Ok, I need to download that ASAP.
Because wow. That is officially my favorite Solas screenshot

I just started feeling like a perv, sitting at work on forums talking about which video game characters' kisses are hotter.
I am not ashamed.

No, you're not. You are just as doomed as many of us. We have a special place in the Underworld reserved for us. Then again, Hades is pretty hot in my headcannon, so I'm not complaining.

Ahahah, I hope they aren't either! When I replayed his personal quest, with sub-titles on this time, I giggled so hard at the bit when the subtitles say that he 'Growls!' I was sitting there like, 'Ohhh, showing a bit of your Dread Wolf there, are you Solas?'

Hey, at least you aren't the one who actually asked and started the debate over which video game characters' kisses are hotter...
On the subject of Solas being out of character in the fanfics.
Any kind of art with Solas is good. If it just happens to be smutty or pics of him with hair. All the better!!
I mean it's Solas, how can you be picky?!
Phew, ok. My apologies for getting so worked up about that... And I'm sorry you had to experience that.
Shite happens, what matters is that it's over and I've moved on from it.
I'm mostly trying to point out that sometimes marking in combination with other behaviors can be early signs of problems that exist or problems that can surface. Like in hindsight when he started leaving palm sized hickies on my neck even when I said "no" and tried to push him away I should have taken that as a red flag and been a lot more cautious from then onwards if not broke it off entirely.
I completely understand its a fetish people have, My fiance and I uh.. dabble but we have rules, we know each other's boundaries and have a safe word. The problem was my ex wasn't willing to make rules and it was a slow slide into an unhealthy relationship. He slowly got more and more possessive and began to demand more from me than he was willing to give. It was fine at first but after roughly 6-7 months it started going downhill. I think the main issue is that it needs to be done carefully and respectfully, for example from what I know of 50 shades of grey the behavior gets a bit unhealthy when the safe word isn't respected. I could be completely wrong about that happening in the book as I haven't read it, the information is just from an article on the book a friend showed me, but if that's the case its an example of when the type of relation isn't depicted properly and it's showing some inappropriate behaviors.
Again, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to offend, I get rather clumsy with my words sometimes. I'm usually only completely serious like 50-60% of the time because joking and making light of things is how I deal with issues I have and have had in the past, Helps me keep cheerful even if I'm the only one that gets the joke. and sorry im apologizing a lot, I'm Canadian =P
but seriously I wanted to apologize properly, but i had to do a quick one to explain that it was me not you lest i accidentally have a bunch of people up in arms and need to send everyone an apology D:
Also Solas did say it would be fascinating to see our indomitable will dominated. So there is some for people to go off of. If someone did it just right it could be within his character's personality, but it'd be really... difficult to get it to work quite right for Solas.
Retour en haut
