Yeah, my first playthrough of the DLC had to be post game because the only chars I had that were pre-Temple, one was stuck in the Winter Palace and the other wasn't high enough. And all I kept thinking was, I bet Solas would have something to say about this or that or whatnot. Now I'm not sure I can run my other post ending chars through the DLC heh.
I think I'll leave my two current chars before the Temple for any other DLC comes out until we get to the last DLC.
Hmm, that's an excellent idea.
*sniff* beautiful *sniff* I'll just be over here in the corner with this gallon of mint chocolate chip.
Am I the only one who mentally shouts, "WEEKES!!!!!" a la Wrath of Khan?
he tweeted he had a head cold so he's suffering (just a bit)
I don't know, I enjoyed doing to DLC post-game, the quiet and Solas absence made possible for my Lavellan to think about something else, refocus on herself and do something on her own, and succeeding. Even though, without a doubt, at the end of it, she obviously couldn't help but draw similarities between her story with Solas, and what she just learnt. But still, it was... I think, needed, in order for her to regain some balance.
Hence why I love Sable's take on it, her Lavellan finally starts sleeping normally again after the DLC, having gained some comfort in the story that it unravels and talks about. My Lavellan is exactly the same, I guess. She finds some solace (ohohoh) in getting to know this story, and it soothes her a bit, and helps her in many ways.
No Taelaa..you are not..hehe
I made this a few months ago
Perfect!

D'awww, thanks 
I didn't actually play the DLC post-game. I loaded a pre-Mythal save so I could hear Solas's dialogue, then decided that I liked the whole story arc better as post-game. So I'll have to replay it at some point. OH NO MORE DRAGON AGE WHAT DO I DO
I feel like it's important to temper the heartbreak of Solas's breakup with something else. Friendship, self-improvement, hot rebound sex...whatever. Otherwise it's just too many sads.
What should have happened at the final romance scene:
Spoiler
I wanted him to confess to her during that scene.
And I would've taken that heart option.

Me too. And I would have taken the "I know, asshole." because the level of sarcasm in that answer is just what I like.

*faints dramatically*
When I spoiled myself a little tiny bit by seeing a YT video called "Solas speaks through Cole" I totally expected Cole to visit Lavellan on the balcony at the end and then Solas would talk through him literally, with the whole "What we had was real" thing...Alas, it turns out that we didn't get that at all. Although this scene is now my headcanon and has been written as such, so it's not all bad I guess
Aww, that would've been amazing! 
Why didn't Weekes do this?! It would've fit so perfectly!
You will come to hate him more very soon.
Excellent. *steeples fingers*

This is fantastic, but you forgot the E after the K in his name. However, this image now relates to how I feel about time spent waiting for the Jaws of Hakkon DLC to be available on all platforms, so it's cool.

Also going back to the topic: Token of the Packmaster makes wolves friendly?! What the hell?! I have never seen that before! I always used it on my companions and never myself so that must be why, but that is so cooooool!
Token of the Packmaster is supposed to work only in the Hinterlands but I've found that if I swap that necklace for another one, go back into the inventory and switch back then the wolves in other areas become peaceful too. It's probably a bug, my game trying to make nice because the war table is such a buggy mess but I like to pretend that's how it's supposed to work.
I find it very sad that the Inquisitor's status as the Herald of Andraste is so isolating apart from Dorian none of the companions or advisors felt like friends but rather work colleagues.
When I play the DLC my headcanon might change but for now my Lavellan is upset and angry that not only will her personal beliefs not be in the history books in time the fact she's an elf will probably be changed too.

no one besides dorian felt like a friend? not even cole?

With my canon Lavellan I adopted the dalish attitude that all Fade creatures can't be trusted but the dialogue tree was designed for 4 races so it can be very limiting when it comes to nuance. I couldn't express the dalish belief that there's no good/bad distinction between spirits and demons but I didn't see a reason to be rude or mean either so the end result is a Lavellan who cares about Cole but also remains weary.
Change of topic - am I right in that we don't know what Solas' eye color is? I mean, I've googled images and his eye color seems to change. I've been inspired by some shapshifter!Solas fanart to do some fanfic and I'd like his eyes to be distinguishable in animal form. I can get around it without a color, but I wanted to ask to be sure.

His eyes have always looked grey to me in my playthroughs. But I think some people see blue?

hmm. I'm going to go with both! People's eyes can change with lighting, anyway. 
Thanks!

Mine would consider Cassandra, Dorian, and Cole her friends. Leliana as well, after a time. Dorian I headcanon as her closest friend, and I also imagine Cassandra would ask, though maybe be a little awkward about it,as she is in the banter post-vallaslin removal. Cole taught her some things, since she's Dalish, but it was definitely Solas who opened her mind about spirits and such first, which prepared her for Cole.
The game makes it clear due to the gossip in the hall, as well as comments made by some companions if you talk to them (Sera, Vivienne) that people know about her and Solas, though I do imagine they keep things at least somewhat low key and a bit private for the most part.
Yeah! I wanted to talk about it with Dorian, Cass, Cole... everyone!
Sure made my Lavellan feel like she didn't have any real friends. And the fact that you don't have a different balcony ending, like Lavellan looking sad instead of happy... or thinking about him. Or having a dream about him coming to her on the balcony and she wakes up and realizes he's really not there. I was SO disappointed there wasn't one last thing about him besides the ending cutscene.
I finished the game and just had this sadness over the entire ending, even the party, and my friends finished the game after me were all puzzled - 'why did you post that the game made you sad?' 
His eyes have always looked grey to me in my playthroughs. But I think some people see blue?
They are grey, but I know some blue eyed people whose eyes can look grey at times One of my exes/best friends is like that.
