I'm not quite sure but I wanted you guys to see this video I made of him and my Lavellan
their story makes me tear up every single time. I have more videos on my other account and there is a link on this video's describtion part to that channel.
Hope you like it!
This is such a sweet compilation of the scenes. 
Thank you for sharing. I love it.
Well technically Thane is the only romance that ends up together with Shepard. Because they both die. Glass half full!
Yes! Thane even says to her in the DLC: '' And when you go to the sea I will be waiting you by the shore ''
He knows what's gonna happen.
Super late to the conversation:Solas did nothing for me in the looks department... (and I initially intended to romance Blackwall because of it, tsk tsk, so shallow) but once you meet him in game he's just so... magnetic, by the time the end rolled by I was convinced he was the most gorgeous thing ever to grace the land of Thedas. Funny how that works.I mean, I went from "Dear lord why are you so bald??" to "Oooh look at how deliciously pointy his ears are and those eyes...*swoon*"It's... interesting to say the least.About Thane..I was so gut-wrenchingly disappointed with his arc in ME3. It's been years and I still get sad when I think about him.It's not that he died per se (even though he could have easily lived to see the end), it's that his whole romance arc was basically hand-waved + his death was not acknowledged in any way and...blah, tldr: It hurt.A lot.That said, I have faith in the DA writers, even if we don't get a "happy" ending, I trust that they'll at least give us some quality closure.
Oh, what the hell, behold my crappy photoshop skillz:
...I'll go back to lurking now.
OMG THIS I WAS JUST HAVING THIS THOUGHT ALL ALONG!! THAT HE IS MY BIGBY XD Because I love Bigby and now I finally got to romance wolf hehehehehehe *_*
I don't have images, but at around 2:24 one of the hoodless sentinels gets killed. The ones that attack on the way to the Temple look like this one and are also all bald.
Oh yes! They are bald! Thank you for this! 
Gosh, it's amazing how much details from the first playthrough I forgot. xD
This is such a sweet compilation of the scenes.
No thank you for you guys for liking it! I really spent my night making it hahah
I've tried and I've tried to hear that "break" in Solas' voice Mr. Weekes mentioned in his Nerd Appropriate Interview at 55:45 that indicates Solas is one step away from telling the Inquisitor the truth of who he is, rather than the truth of the vallaslin, but no matter how many times I replay it, I don't hear Gareth David-Lloyd's voice crack or break one tiny bit on the word "truth", nor do I hear any pause or hesitation. My first reaction was: the break is a lie! (Giggle!) Am I just deaf? Perhaps the take he was referring to didn't make the final cut? (In which case, the take is a lie! Yes, yes, Rora, beat a dead horse, why don't you...)
My best guess is it's at 1:07...that brief second when he breaks eye contact, looks down, and repeats 'the truth'.... (video below)
Wait, there were unhooded sentinels?! I must have missed that!
Edit: As far as I remember, they were all hooded but then again I might be wrong. I don't suppose someone would post a pic of them? I'd love to see for myself. xD
At the beginning of the cut scene where you confront Calpernia at the Well of Sorrows (having gone to the Templars and not the Mages for aid in closing the Breach), you see the Sentinels are bald (0:04).
Lol, little lore details are extremely important in writing fanfiction. XD I tried, I really did, but I kept snickering at reading a Garrus/Fshep fic that had Shep 15 but Garrus in C-Sec. I'm all for free love but 15 and a 30+ year old being depicted in a story and the author having no idea. XD
I thought everyone read the codex entries for lore. Right?!
OMG NO MY IMAGE OF SOLAS IS FOREVER RUINED lolol
No. No.
I can't.
This is too funny.
WAY TOO FUNNY TT____TT
IKR!
Here some Lavellan X Solas songs that would fit. If someone would like to I could make another video of them. You could pick one of these songs or recommend me another song! :
THIS IS JUST THEIR SONG BTW:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFG8OAHn65c
<-- Wish it was sing by a man too because this is what Solas would sing to her.

this one too
So I have a question for everyone about Solas' appearance.
Were you physically attracted to him when you first saw him (in-game or pre-game) or did you gradually warmed up to his looks?
By the time I got to know him better, not to mention dat postcredits scene his looks faded in the backround. He has a beautiful mind and a voice that flows lake honey. I'm so glad that I had Cole in my party , because his comments fleshed Solas' character even more. "He comes to me as though the Fade were just another wooded path to walk without a care in search of wisdom."
He is gorgeous.
Buuut to answer your question honestly. No , I did not like the way he looked.
About his looks,I always found him striking even in those first pictures and the concept art so I guess I sort of did 
And instead of trying out the other romances I am stuck romancing Solas and Cullen over and over again, and all of my elves turn out the same, I´m terrible at the CC 
Ok ok ok
Since everybody said how they felt about Solas (attracted at first sight or grown to love)..
I'd say I grew to love him, but not gradually. I made a graph of love through time.
First playthrough I was a dwarf, I barely knew anything about the companions (didn't want to spoil the plot), I only knew he's a bald elf and can only be romanced by elves. To be honest, I wasn't even sure I'd go for him at any point since I don't like playing elves. I wasn't attracted to him, but I'm not attracted to people if I only know how they look.
Then.. The "is that a serious question" and I got butterflies.
I took him everywhere, my character romanced Blackwall but went to speak with Solas more than with Blackwall (and I thought Blackwall would be awesome because of BEARD but he wasn't very awesome). My poor dwarf kept yelling in her chambers "WHY WAS I BORN A DWARF, I WANT TO BE AN ELF".
I managed to finish the first playthrough with her (even though I wanted to quit and create an elf) and after he left at the end I was HEARTBROKEN. After the stinger I understood that beyond being adorkable his romance will be closely related to the plot, so I made a female elf immediately after Skyhold reloaded.
By the way - this graph depicts how I felt about him through the first PT with the dwarf.
When I romanced him I was already obsessive.
Artz!
SpoilerAlso... Abelas with hair? xD
OMG this one... 
beautiful tears!!!!!!!!! *dies*
Also Abelas is hot.
So I just played through the second kiss again.
With headphones.
I COULD HEAR ALL.
I can only play with headphones now. I want to hear Solas' voice inside MY SKULL. yessssss
Also, I never played CAH, I'd like to join you sometimes! But my english is so bad I don't make sense most of the time... this is what you get when you learn english on your own on the internet. Not a very good place to learn grammar

I think the rogue ones that try to kill you while you fight red templars before entering the temple are unhooded, and they are bald indeed. I don't have a pic sadly, but I'm pretty sure!

You are not the only one to learn English this way I know nothing of grammar

[wonderful chart]

When I romanced him I was already obsessive.
That's a really great (and sad) story. I'm sorry for your heartbroken dwarven lass. =(
While my playthrough's order has been the opposite (elven woman who romanced him first, dwarven woman after), I'm actually having a rather similar experience. That is, my dwarven gal liked him much more strongly, much more quickly than my elven gal did. She found him handsome, intriguing and alluring right away, and started making plans to woo him - which just made me sad knowing she'll never do it. =(
I guess while we're on the subject of "how long did it take you to warm up to him (if you're in that category)" ...
While I obsessively read up on everything DAI related before opening (because I'm impulsive, Id-driven, and the kind ruin my dinner with snacks and sweets beforehand), I didn't read up on Solas because, honestly, in some ways he seemed the least interesting. I figured if there was more to him than met the eye, I would discover it in the game instead of reading ahead like I did for the others. (Ironically my shallow lack of initial interest made me appreciate him all the more when I finally started playing.)
I was also a little on the fence on who to romance at the time. I thought I'd want to romance Sera at the time because I'd been wanting a lesbian elven couple since Linu La'neral from Neverwinter Nights. (Although Linu wasn't officially available for women, her lines were very affectionate, so I headcanoned that my elven ranger ran off with the sweet elven cleric. Merrill would have been perfect, if only the DA2 PC wasn't forced to be human! >< ) When BioWare announced Sera being available to women, I was a bit excited... Until they revealed that "she's not your typical elf" because she doesn't like nature or elvy things. Then I started to feel nervous. Then Solas was revealed to be available for elven women alone (intriguing...) but that he "wants to prove he's not just another elf."
"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!!"
So I ended up thinking, "Assuming they don't despise elves, I'm going to romance one of these two with my Dalish (and Iron Bull with my dwarf and Josephine with my Vashoth), depending on which personality is more attractive and/or which one hates elves less." Solas charmed and intrigued my Keeper's First, with his politeness and calming demeanor and knowledge of the Fade. The more she talked to him, the more she grew to like him, and the more addicted she became to learning his views, knowledge, and experiences.
I (as the player) remained a little on the fence though, until Lavellan finally went to Val Royeaux and actually met Sera. Not to disparage her, but... Sera being so random, out there, in-your-face, and disappointed to see that my Inquisitor was an elf (*sneers* "You're not too elfy, are you?"), my Inquisitor just kind of stared wide-eyed and I thought, "... WOW! Okay, Solas it is! By a landslide!"
No regrets.

Hehehe, that's part of the charm of Solas.
He sneaks up to you, makes a scrambled eggs out of your brains and then... you're stuck.
It's really hard playing an Assquisitor after romancing him, I don't like upsetting him :<
Ok ok ok

I hope you don't mind, but I made just one slight adjustment to it based on personal experience...
