Seems strange right?
He's so lovable
From what we know, he seems like a pretty stand-up guy. Apparently he's even respectful when he disagrees with someone! Or maybe he only is if they're respectful to him in return. I guess we'll have to wait and see!

I wonder how the Scotch-Bonnet Candy factors into that.

Personally I don't see how anyone could dislike Solas, I already love him
Just playing devil's advocate here (I really like Solas - he and Dorian will be my go to spellcasters), but I think Vivienne's antipathy stems from her background as a Circle mage. Solas undermines her entire world view, namely that, unless controlled and regulated, mages will run wild and bring ruin to Thedas. Not only does Solas have his act together and seems to be a genuinely moral person, he has even been able to enter the Fade without succumbing to possession.

...I'm going to eat him up! Maybe we'll see our seemingly reserved elf reach his limit and explode on someone?

Oh, I'm sure people will dislike him, I was just being silly 
what is a scotch bonnet candy?

I also wonder if Solas may have a kind of arrogance about him with all of his knowledge and experience. As a Circle Mage, Vivienne might think him foolish and full of himself to believe that he could consistently deal with demons or befriend spirits without it having any consequences. What he sees as closed-minded, she might see as being practical and not being overconfident in her relationship with the Fade. Which is a point that has merit, and Solas may end up somewhere regretful because of his mindset. It wouldn't be a Dragon Age game without some companion angst!
cool thought

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Vivienne, but I am definitely going to take her along a few times with Solas, just to hear the banter. Gonna be awkward hehe.

*And I think it could be equal parts interesting and entertaining (depending on the situation) if we were to see Solas actually snap.

I feel like he may make snappy, but still intelligent remarks sometimes when he's been insulted. But then there are the rare times that he actually loses him temper, though i'm not sure if he'd like blow up or have a lot of angry glares XD or something completely different.
The romance thread is scary. 
Hold me, Solas thread.
I imagine it would take some real effort to get Solas to lose his temper. Full-on, shameless, non-stop prodding until he sets them ablaze... you know, or something.

I really hope he's not like Anders in that regard
Please excuse me if this seems stupid, has already been said, or is otherwise tacky but with Eve Myles as Merrill and now with Solas is Bioware trying to put together an elven Torchwood.
We've already got the rifts.

The rift thing kills me -- I can't wait to hear Solas talk about them. Hopefully he even uses the word rift a few times for my own amusement (aren't they being called breaches or tears in the game, I'm not keeping up on details at all).
And right now I can only hope for Burn Gorman or John Barrowman to show up in the next installment of this series to keep the Torchwood thing going.
Still no news about the remaining LIs ?
Rhahhhahaaaaaaaaa.......... I want my sanity back 
I will go boating today to make sure I'm staying the f*** away from my laptop. It's drastic measures time ! 
Thanks for the kind comments, everyone! I had a lot of fun writing it. Now, to hope our dreams may come true and that at least the very, very end will happen in the game. 
J'adore! It's perfect :3
You should definitely write more *nudge nudge*
Haha, I believe I'll let those two have their privacy for the time-being!

Happy to report I finally had a dream about Solas. We were walking through a clothing shop which was infested with creepy people. I clung to him as I was was scared shitless. Turns out we where in a movie and then we had to climb a massive hill and slide down a fireman's pole.
He didn't speak. <--- annoying part
He patted me on the shoulder and I woke up.
(5 years without a Dragon Age related dream, then I get two in a row, the other one I won't speak of 
)
Last night contained a Solas-related dream, but I chalked that up to being directly influenced by finishing my Solas fanfic late last night.
But it was cool because it was David Hulegaard doing a Twitter reveal. He posted a new screenshot of Solas and announced something like "meet the next love interest announcement!" I was so excited. And then I woke up.
dang. this thred and dreams must have infected me (not a bad thing )
dreamed I was playng DAI. and in a banter, Varric told Solas "you are a lucky man, Elf" or something like this. I was shocked because I usually don't understand well the talking in DA, expecially the banter.
may it be a premonition? i would really love Varric too as LI, and the feeling was like my suconscious was sayng goodbye to him as a romance...now I'm sad and depressed. 
Holy- , I had saved the rest of the story for a time where I have nothing else to do. DragonRacer that was AMAZING. I couldn't help but to feel such a thrill when reading... I like can't stop the laughing of how much I want Solas LI now. I'm not joking, at the end I was this gif:
Little preview:
wow! thanks for sharing this
I updated the OP to include the DA Twitter ask of "which mage"
LOL 
I intentionally say some pretty embarrassing stuff but that was... I... uh... well... oops
LOL
Retour en haut
