Eh, I think the Grey Warden Battlemage Armor looks girly on him. Apostate hobo then Ancient Elven Coat all the way. I like it as a statement of character progression, too.
Lol, one of the reasons why I'm doing another playthrough is because I want to be able to make custom armor for him. I didn't find enough schematics before I was done with the core story. 
I'm so obsessed.
Went digging again for songs to add to the Solavellan song pile. :3
Anyone know if those fur robes he wears in this image are available in tier 3?
They look the best and I want them >:

I remember finding a tier 2 schematic of it on my first playthrough, tho I'm not sure if it the fur parts were actually on it. It had the overall shape of it. :/

Battlemage mail. I think the armor and related schematics are rare drops/rare vends. Or at least they feel that way.
Edit: Ah, nevermind, I've no idea. I just know I want them, and they continue to evade me.

Battlemage Mail is a random schematic you can pick up sometimes; I haven't found it with any of my five Inquisitors. :/ But there are some people in the thread that have found it, so it's not impossible!

I keep finding it, squeeing in joy, but then find it's always in blinding pink. :\ lol
Wish I had the schematic.
I found the schematic last playthrough, but I can't remember where. I think it was the Hissing Wastes, but it could have been Emprise du Lion
I know it's unlikely, but if we meet Solas again in DLC I wanna see him in god mode. Ancient elven armor, Dread Wolf style XD
Oh man yes!! Can you imagine, like the first time your Lavellan sees him after he disappears, he's in the middle of some badass battle Dread Wolfing it up- and then the abrupt change when he notices her.

Yup, I've found the armor a few times in drops and vends, but I'd really like the schematics.

Well it's good to know it exists. Is it Masterwork or? If it's not I may come across it when I get to the Cradle of Sulevin and farm the chests there. ;-;

It seems like they made the rare drops too rare. I mean, it's not like there are tons of different armor types in the game.
If you're really desperate to get your hands on a particular item/schematic, I believe it's possible to cheat most of them into the game using this: http://forum.cheaten...ic.php?t=578120
I haven't tried it myself, though.
I am lingering in this thread for faaaar too long that I had to load my game only to have a little Solas-moment (despite the fact that it will break my heart, .. - again)

Aww *sniffles* She looks like my character only mine has red hair. I want to give her a hug so bad!
Hello! Hope I'm not interrupting any conversations.
I found this video while looking through Origins videos on YouTube and thought what the Lady of the Forest said was interesting.
Dragon Age: Origins - Dalish Camp Assault:
At 1:15 she says "...you summoned me and placed me in the body of the Dread Wolf..."
0.0 Interesting?
If it turned out that she really had been placed in the Dread Wolf's body, then that would mean he really is some kind of spirit/soul running around without a body. Or else, he is sharing a body with the man who was born in the village that he said he was born in.
... Hard to say really.
Was doing some thinking today on the Solas/Lavellan relationship. Specifically about how eager he was to start it (that Fade kiss!), and about what the dialogue between he and Cole might mean.
"You became real. That means the others could, too. It changes everything, but it can't." Something like that, yes? Now, if he means Solas, then it could imply he is some kind of Fade entity that made itself real. If it means Lavellan... well I was thinking that makes it not just all kinds of levels of sad, but also all kinds of levels of wrong.
So, Lavellan "became real." She began to matter, became what he considers "Elvhen." If the others could, too, why is that something that can't be allowed to happen? Is he rejecting her "reality" so that he can continue on his set path? Is he so set on making things the way they were that he'd tell himself that Lavellan is just like the others, after all, or that he'd sacrifice her for what he sees as the greater good?
This is Solas, he's open-minded, he's willing to admit when he's wrong. Except this time. Why?
My only answer for it is that he misses everyone else he knew from his own time so much that Lavellan just cannot help his loneliness, nor can anyone else in the Inquisition. He dislikes the state of the world so much that he'll tell himself Lavellan isn't really real, just to be able to make himself do what he feels he has to do.
And yet, that doesn't fit, because... he wouldn't wish his path on an enemy, much less someone he deeply cares for. So he tells Cole. That line implies he's protecting those he became close to. Are they "real" to him to deserve protection?
The more I thought about it, the less sense it really makes. Either he's protecting her, or he's sacrificing her for the greater good, and I can't tell which it is. Perhaps it's both, though, because if she doesn't know, she can't intervene. Then she can survive whatever comes next... but she won't be "real" so their love can never be, at least as far as Solas is concerned.
And then there's his line about "in another world..."
Does he feel they are so far apart? Maybe it really is that he's rejecting her as "real Elvhen?" And if she's not Elvhen, he can't be with her. And she doesn't matter in the grand scheme of his plan, no matter how much he loves her. That is not just horribly wrong-headed and closed-minded of him, it's also terribly, terribly sad... because we can tell that he does truly love her. Why would he think that anything that could potentially cause dire harm to his loved one would be a good idea? How could he suddenly be looking at her as so much less than him, when he'd spent so much time becoming close to her?
Yes, he said he thought it would be unkind to continue their relationship, in the balcony scene. So we knew it probably wasn't going to end well (or, well, I figured, and yet hoped it would anyway).
I can't help thinking that whichever meaning it holds, that banter of Cole's is key to understanding why Solas left. I don't think any of us have entirely hit on the why of it, for all of our guessing about his protecting Lavellan or putting duty first. I really, truly hope I'm not right about it, or that if I am, he's able to work past what he's feeling... that would just leave such a bad taste in my mouth.
Edited to clarify what precisely invokes my horror at this thought: Basically, if Solas is rejecting Lavellan's "reality" as an Elvhen, I am worried that he's saying she's so far beneath him as to be beneath his concern... even though he is in love with her. And because this makes her less valuable, he is letting go, despite how much pain it causes him--and her, which also hurts him--so that he can continue with his plans to help the People Who Matter to Him. And if I am right, that... puts him in all kinds of WRONG, and I have trouble feeling badly for him because the only reason he'd feel badly for himself is because he fell for someone he really shouldn't have--even though he initially encouraged it. So I hope I'm not right...
Aaaagh, comfort me please Solas thread, tell me something positive, tell me I can't be right, think of any theory you please but tell me I can't possibly be right...
My two favorite schematics for Solas were the furry battlemage armor and the Keeper's coat. Thanks to velvet I got to make Solas the fuzziest, snuggliest outfit (as long as you don't mind cuddling up to the pelt of a dead animal 
). I wish I could remember where I found the schematic... it definitely wasn't in the Hissing Wastes or the Forgotten Oasis though 
Good luck to you all, finding schematics was one of the most exciting parts of the game!
Oh, pic from the end of the game under there in case anyone doesn't want to see that part.

Omg yay 
*prays to the RNG gods that it drops*
... After posting that horrible theory about why Solas ditched Lavellan with that look of horror on his face, I really need to think of something happy...
The beautiful battlemage mail works quite nicely. You know, I never found schematics for it, and the mabari in the Wastes didn't sell it like some people said it did.
Also, was anyone else severely disappointed/annoyed that most of the end-game tier 3 cloth and metals were hot pink and/or violet? I mean, okay, sure it's a great prank to pull on certain people, but there are plenty of people who aren't like that who don't have any real love for pink and purple, either. (More green! MORE GREEN!)
These pictures are relevant okay.
This next one is less relevant. I know. It can represent Cole.
Thanks, I needed some cuteness.
'Cause I just thought of something even worse implied by the theory that I wrote up above...
The implication, if Cole's addressing Lavellan, is that up until recently, Solas did not consider Lavellan real. What does that mean??????
Could this have some kind of meaning like... ancient elven nobles/gods just... figured they were owed love/smooches/etc? Was his "Ar lath ma" not really serious?
Aaaaaagh, kitten hugs please????
Edit: I'm not trying to be depressive, I swear. It was a slow day at work and I was just kind of mulling over "Why would Solas have left?" in my head, because there's more to it than duty, I think, and...
I REALLY hope that it's just because he wants to keep her and his friends safe. And not something like "Well, but I'm totally a real person and you aren't, so... this can't happen."
