It is possible we're not done with Skyhold yet. There's a lot of weirdness in Skyhold that doesn't seem to do anything. Like the evil book at the bottom of the stairs, numerous empty rooms, and the upgrades. [Although the text does say that the upgrades are cosmetic, and does not actually suggest they would give a bonus to anything.]
Still, creepy book.
Don't know what the creepy book is, but Solas' description makes me think there's more to the place.
Wha? What creepy book? Did I miss something?! : o
At the very bottom of Skyhold, near the wine cellar, is a small little room with a huge magic book and a lot of dark ritually things.
Has Birdy shared this one with us yet? 
A very NSFW fic: http://dragonage-kin...75349#t47775349
"Fen'harel is summoned from ancient Arlathan to modern day Skyhold."
At the very bottom of Skyhold, near the wine cellar, is a small little room with a huge magic book and a lot of dark ritually things.
And thick cobwebs everywhere. (Hopefully cobwebs and not LOL GIANT SPIDER IN YOUR HOUSE webs.)
In my romantic fantasy, him giving Lavellan his castle is like when a man offers a woman a home. It's like here's a home for you and I will be your husband and we will rule this castle togetherz...
Don't know what the creepy book is, but Solas' description makes me think there's more to the place.
I always assumed the castle was build ontop his old worshiping grounds. Like that was where his temple was or something.
Makes it cuter when you think he gave it to Lavellan.
I feel like well have to get something more. If one doesn't listen to that podcast then the depths of Solas' feelings aren't 100% apparent. A lot of us guessed, but there were a lot of people that were on the fence about his intentions too.
For all the other companions we the opportunity to substantially change their life right? Except maybe Varric? But you can change his life in DA2. We haven't gotten that with Solas yet. Hopefully it comes in DLC.
Yeah I hope so. They usually they give us the choices. And Weekes is always so "CANT TELL SPOILER!!!"
So yeah, I stay on the optimistic train.
And like someone said already before, Solas had his inevitable heartbreaking moment already. Why add a second one?
Just, to really get a glimpse into Solas head, into his heart and mind... The incredible sadness he must have felt, this heartbreaking pain in his gut when he walks away.
Damn it he's just a fictional character. I'm more invested into him than I was into Garrus and he was major OTP for me.
I'm going to make this comment completely outside the context of religion and say that Satan was a Rebel God as well. He was God's favorite and dared to fight against him.
Well no he is/was not a GOD. He was an Angel,he's a fallen angel now. Him and GOD still communicate with each other but Lucifer is evil.True he was GOD's favorite but he rebelled against GOD. GOD created Angels just as he created us.

Anyways we better get back to the main subject Solas...

So if we take the English word "husband" (since English is Patrick Weekes' native tongue) and realize that it stems from the root meaning "house-bound," meaning someone who is tied to property...can we then infer that giving Skyhold to Lavellan means that Solas and Lavellan are basically married? I THINK WE CAN.
Hi everyone (new and old!), thanks for the welcomes! I'm afraid I'm skipping over the last pages as I haven't finished the romance... and I've already seen some spoilers. I'll be back more once I get further along!
Have you gotten to the final romance scene yet? Has to be one of my favorite scenes in the entire game
No, I've only gotten the second kiss so far. :drums fingers impatiently: Heading to the ball next-ish. I realize... I don't know if he'll dance with me... 
I love this scene,especially how his expression sure subtly changes when she's approaching him.
Also,nice to see you here R2!!!
*waves* mmmm yesssssss!! Like he's drawn to her, and can't help it and then gets control again. unf.
I told you so.
LOL So you did! 
OH MY GOD, WE CONVERTED THE HEAD CULLENITE. HOLY S**T SNACKS!
LOL *bows down to the inescapable power of the sexy know-it-all elf*
We find your offering acceptable. Welcome to the Solas Recovery Wing! Pull up some blanket fort and get comfy
No recovery needed ... yet... he's still snogging me quite well. 
TTFN, Solas thread!
I always assumed the castle was build ontop his old worshiping grounds. Like that was where his temple was or something.

That's what I've been thinking too. It might have been the spot that he awoke at. Game suggests there's a lot of caves and old nooks and crannies. Plenty of places for an elven god to pass out in.
Then if you read his note about the fresco, he makes a big deal about saying that the keep is 'hers now'. Which seems like he felt some sort of ownership over it.
Oh no. Ooooooh no. I just finally was able to listen to the interview. It's freezing in my house so this is basically the way I felt:
Also, the part that got me most in the description of the romance was Weekes saying that when he kissed you that last time, he was ready to lose himself in you. He wanted to let go of everything and just stay with you. For someone like Solas, that's huge. He thinks the entirety of his people is at stake and dependent on him staying the course and carrying out his plans and for a moment he was ready to give that up. To be with you.
Gosh, talk about falling hard and fast. I never want to see people doubting his feelings again. IT'S CANON, YA'LL. SOLAS IS CRAZY ABOUT YOU. 
A magic castle that prevents you from being hurt no matter how you fling yourselves from the highest point. I'd like to learn more about skyhold as a building too. That book though.... I like to think that's the inquisitors quiet room. She hides from things there (like the advisers) , the spiderwebs are big enough to be comfy blankets.
Well no he is/was not a GOD. He was an Angel,he's a fallen angel now. Him and GOD still communicate with each other but Lucifer is evil.True he was GOD's favorite but he rebelled against GOD. GOD created Angels just as he created us.

I didn't want to touch too much on it because I didn't want to be disrespectful.
Oh yeah, gotta sell that GOTY edition.The feedback section is almost always awful. The fact that it is topping most of the game of the year charts [although admittedly, it didn't have much competition] is more than enough hype to ensure that it'll have a full DLC cycle. Presumably.
I fear the implications this interview seems to hold about Solas future/romance closure. Esp when PW admits that the romance was added largely to demonstrate the deep, unutterable sadness of the Solas character. Grumpy? Dude, I'm grumpy when my dog wipes dirty paws on my bed. This is just shattering.
I'm the same. But then again, remember that the writers come into a game with THAT game defined. So they knew: Solas has to leave, we need him to continue X plot. So obviously putting a romance there knowing that's the conclusion of that storyline would always make it sad.
Also I understand what he means. Probably Solas was always written as a very sad, lonely person. He's core fear is loneliness. Obviously putting in a storyline where he gets his one wish, to then having to take that away, is going to show a lot about what kind of person he is.
I didn't want to touch too much on it because I didn't want to be disrespectful.
Don't worry bout it...
I don't mind talking about GOD,the Bible Christianity etc. cause I'm a Christian but I know if we get too into it they might shut this thread down...so yeah.
i realize he does this for all the other inquisitors, but it's just so romantic in the context of the Lavellan Solas relationship. He paints for her, he gives her a home, he treats her when she's ill 
. To be honest, Solas might be one of the few characters who is an equal to Lavellan. Unlike the other pcs we played, Lavellan is special in that she has a power (the mark) that no one else in the game has. Hawke is just simply a hero of circumstances. The HoF didn't have special powers either. The other characters were not revered in the same way the inquisitor is. Hence, people like Cullen who are Lavellan's subordinates might not be her equal and the relationship is a bit unbalanced in that sense. With Solas, it's unbalanced in the other direction, but Lavellan has the potential to catch up whereas the other companions really don't. I guess if you make Cassandra the divine, then she is equal to the inquisitor, but then you can't be together so...
You guys I did it! I finally made an elf I'm hapy with! I love her so much and made her a mage because I couldn't resist and I named her Shiral. Omg I love her. Hate to break her heart.
Picture please!
If anyone is a Jesse Cox fan, he's posted some multiplayer DAI videos. This is the 3rd one. Sliiiightly Solas related (ok it's not), ok well it's more Solas Thread related. Some highlights: Abelas look alike that gets some amusing commentary from Jesse. Also a request for fan fiction. Yeah see that's us, right? Totally related and not off topic.
"[Cillian's] pants are so tight they can tell time!" BAHAHAHAHA! Oh, that is so awesome. And true! (maybe)
She'll help him change his name from Abelas, alright
I vote for "Ma Nuvenin".
