I liked Leliana's Song, though the best part was the dungeon song and Sketch. I wish we could see more of him... and not looking as derp as he did in DA2. Such a cutie.
Maybe I really do just have a thing for elves...
Weird, listening to that song right now, while I sketch Solas. I am such a nerd. 
I noticed the first detail I had to work on was his ears, never had at thing for ears until now....

Now you've made me go look him up again. I keep confusing Sketch with Finn. Finn was also cute, maybe he's elf-blooded.
It's horrifying what they've done to the elves' appearance over the course of all the games... urg. I just watched my guy get down with Cassandra and the boy shoulders/chest with the twisting swan neck is quite disturbing. 
The scene did earn quite a lot of awwwwws from me, though, and I highly recommend the romance in its entirety.

I wish that we had body sliders... Sigh. That way I could give my Levellan slightly less flaily chicken arms... (and a booty to boot!)

Yeah, sometimes Lavellan gets a weird, stooped posture. We need a chiropractor in the Skyhold infirmary.

Well if you're romancing Solas, he would probably appreciate that

Yeah, or the wide-stanced walk you get most of the time. (I don't like to imagine she's walking that way from any private time with The Bull, but that's what my disgusting mind immediately goes to, hahaha!)
I've tried both Cass and Dorian and must say, that male Lavellan looks better near the latter. Squishy elven males. Solas is less squishy, broad shoulders and all.

Not gonna lie, I have a serious thing for broad shoulders... 
I have tried at least a few times to play either a Male human,Male elf, Female Human...once I get to Haven it's like: "I got to go back to my female elf pt...Solas Ima comin fer ya!".
That elf has me wrapped around his pixel finger..........
........I'm okay with that.
i was rather surprised (actually, it still does sometimes) at how many people have trouble understanding sera xD but i suppose that many people who didn't grow up in england, particularly those who don't speak english as a first language, are more likely to have an issue. i understand her perfectly every time, but funnily enough, after having lived in america for nearly a decade, i seem to have trouble understanding my own brother sometimes now (i grew up in england) xD of course, i've never told him i can't understand him now....i just either pretend i didn't hear him or tell him he's slurring too much >.>
i liked how elves looked the most in DA2, mostly because their facial features were VERY different from those of humans. and yeah, they were super skinny in DA2 too, but i think it was easier to ignore when i was just running around as hawke instead of lavellan D: she's so skinny, it hurts.

Surprise? 
I must also say that I generally do not like bald men. And I was thinking "Fine, since I have no choice, I'll roll with it". Now I've seen some modified art where Solas has hair. And it was plain awful! Bald men rule

Please tell me you're joking. The thing is, they really fixed the elf faces in DA:I, but the bodies still look horrid. That's... kind of worse, in my opinion -- dude is hot, just don't take off his clothes.
Oh, Zevran... I will never forgive what they did to you, my dear.

Just like in Stephen Fry's making History novel
I like what they did with elven facial features in DAI, because in DA2 elves looked too alien and not so attractive. I mean commoners and the like, Merril and Fenris are fine.
Please tell me you're joking.
Oh, Zevran... I will never forgive what they did to you, my dear.
Spoiler
I think Marethari and Merril look better in DA2, personally.
silly question: How would your Lavellan react to Merill? and how do you think Merill might react to Lavellan/Solas especially if she learned whom solas was
I think Revas Lavellan would be surprised to finally meet someone who didn't immediately tell him how horrible the Dalish were.
More seriously, it would be nice for Revas to meet another Dalish. Being surrounded by so many shemlen who keep bombarding him with their cultural and religious views, whether he likes it or not, would allow for a nice reprieve to speak with someone who would actually understand him and his culture. Someone who doesn't push him to be 'the Herald of Andraste' or 'the Maker's Chosen', but who accepts him as a Dalish elf, and respects his culture and heritage in a way that no other minor character, companion, or adviser in Inquisition does.
It's possible Lavellan and Merrill already met at the last Arlathvenn, similar to Mahariel meeting Velanna and Ariane at the previous gathering of the clans. In the present, I think it would've been great; Revas and Merrill could discuss how the Inquisition can help the Dalish, putting Briala in power over Orlais to help the elves, the discoveries at the Temple of Mythal, uncovering the secrets of the Eluvian and the Crossroads, and much more. It's something I feel Inquisition is missing - someone who genuinely understands where the Dalish protagonist is coming from (culturally and religiously), and who and views the Dalish as a people worthwhile from the onset, which is something Trevelyan received in spades.
Solas and Merrill actually have some things in common: both want to help the People, both see spirits as complex beings, and both view blood magic as a tool, rather than something that's inherently evil. I think she would be fascinated with Solas and his true nature, and try to gleam as much knowledge from him about the past, spirits, and the Beyond, as she possibly could.
I imagine that 'revelation' discussion between Solas and Lavellan will be quite... interesting, whether it's the Friendship is Magic route my male Lavellan took, or the star-crossed lovers that most of the rest of this thread experienced (if not literally everyone else).

The elves in DA2 freaked me out to no end...everything about them from their face, eyes, to their bodies was all wrong to me. D:
Merrill and Fenris looked fine, but in general other elves were just...off. Overall I am glad DAI toned it down a bit and made the ears cuter and the bodies not quite so strange. I can see where they were trying to go in DA2 but..just...no.
I think Marethari and Merril look better in DA2, personally.
Agreed, if we're only talking about faces.
First off, wow, I had to catch up on around 30 pages... you guys are prolific these days.
There is so little Abelas
smutromantic literature out there as it is... *miserable sigh*
And I am so thankful to be around friends in this thread. My sexuality has been (male) elf since 1976, and I have just now, at this very moment, owned it.
EDIT: Oh, oh! Here's an idea for an ancient-elf-friend-thing! What about Cillian? He shows up in Skyhold. I'd advise playing him a bit in multiplayer to get a good idea of his personality, though, or just having him in your group. He's a sweetheart who loves ham and once had a garden where he grew a lot of cabbages.
Don't give up hope just yet. (And yes, I know about Cillian and I adore him, I like to play him and the archer in multiplayer because they're both just so nice!) While I don't write smut, I haven't yet decided how Solas and Lavellan will be resolved, other than there will be closure in some form or another. While she might not romance Abelas if things don't work out with Solas, she's been running around with Abelas and Cole in her party for a while, so... wouldn't be that strange if they kept one another company, at least.
Is Morrigan Flemeth's biological daughter? In the first game I thought she wasn't and Flemeth had just adopted her (perhaps stole her away, found her, or saved her) I mean the age difference seems pretty big and I thought there was a dialogue where Morrigan mentions being taken in...perhaps not. Inquisition had me questioning if he were biologically related because they both have the same exact eye color, and it's a unique eye color at that.
Were Ghili..Ghi'ilgivhjdg...ah never mind, the Halla Goddess and Andruil lovers? I thought I read that somewhere but can't be sure.
Actually Morrigan may indeed be Flemeth's biological daughter. There is a theory that she may have been conceived on the night when Flemeth pulled aside Maric for a private chat, which Maric then never wanted to speak of. We never found out precisely what was said, or what they did. So, if you did make Alistair do the Dark Ritual, Kieran may be the child of incest. If the Dark Ritual wasn't disturbing enough for you, before, well... Enjoy!
Oh wow, those paintings are really weird...
I'm guessing the red stuff might really be red lyrium?
Also, nekkid elf butts
Notice something about the bottom right halla? I mean there is the red of corruption or blood magic, but, inside of it there are people... I think there's something to that. Will discuss at the end of this post.
Also has no one else noticed the winged hart has extra legs, too? It's like a deer version of Sleipnir crossed with Pegasus. The head and neck look more like a horse's than a deer's, too!
I wonder if all the weird creature art has something to do with Ghilan'nain?
Edit for second half of the elven art:
Unsure, but is that second creature down a dragon?
I actually had a dream last night where Allan, he who would grace this thread in the past, posted to tell us that there would be no Solas in any upcoming DLC.
I really need to stop reading these forums before bed.
... I miss Allan. Wonder what he's up to these days?
Right, back on my halla theory...
You guys may want to hold off on the halla bacon. I avoided killing them as much as possible (they tend to get in the crossfire) because canonly, the Dalish view them as their brethren, their kin. After all, the Dalish believe that Ghilan'ain turned into a halla.
Well, I don't think she turned into a halla, but I think she might have turned other people into them (notice the huge halla with downcast people/slaves? in it in one art pic). It isn't just that the halla can only be tamed by befriending them, or that they are apparently super-smart and understand things most animals can't, or even that the halla keeper in DAO seemed to be able to speak to them somehow. I think the halla are actually honest-to-goodness people, slaves who were turned into beasts to serve Ghilan'nain, possibly also to serve as an intelligent sort of prey for Andruil's hunts.
Really wish there were a way to avoid killing halla entirely but there just isn't, they get stuck in the crossfire and they die. It's not canon for a Dalish to kill them, unless she just doesn't agree with Dalish beliefs.
But yeah, until it's confirmed that halla aren't actually people (or weren't sometime in the past), I am totally not eating 'em. (Besides, Lavellan is Dalish and that'd be like eating her sisters and brothers... Halla aren't livestock, or pets to the Dalish, they are friends. Gross, seriously!)
@Tielis - Your avatar has a slight Zevran thing goin' on... *ahem* J-just sayin'.
