PACK UP BOYS, WE CAN ALL GO HOME.

I relate Solas's ability not to judge things at once to his introvert personnality.
Introverts observe, then decide if something is good, bad, and more generally, decide it's more complicated than that.

I just thought of something...
Okay, so Bioware has talked about the fact that there are multiple endings to the game based on your choices and I think they said something about, how in one play through, it was just one or two companions at the final fight.
I think it's safe to say, because of the importance of the fade in the storyline, that Solas is a huge asset to the Inquisition. The fact that he view things in gray not only may be apart of his personality but of his isolation from other people.
Well, what if the things you do/say can influence his power? I mean, if you think about it, you can have friends, romances, enemies and a mix in DA. If you were to be pretty dicky throughout the entirety of the game without thinking about things from another perspective (or just plain being ignorant and not listening to him) Solas might get real peeved and feel like, "You guys deserve everything that comes to you."
So he waits until the final boss fight and BAM! SUPERBETRAYAL and uses the knowledge of the fade against them.
I know, it might be a long shot...and you might have to make a lot of purposeful mistakes..but that would be pretty badass. I have a thing for villains and anti-heroes. Don't judge me.
Guys! GUYS! I was going through the images on the Dragon age site, and found a pic with Solas in it, he's little, and it's from behind, but still! Anyway, not sure if it's new, or if it was missed, or maybe you guys did see it but it's just not in the OP... Figured I'd post it here just in case: (spoilered for size)

Looks like an improbably glowing staff to me.
Solas the Fade Jedi, semi-confirmed rumor.
Thanks for the comments. I was hoping that it would be something along the lines everyone seems to think but there was just the possibility that logical/knowledgeable meant he would simply analyse a situation in a totally impassionate way and not even acknowledge the moral implications of an action. You see some people might excuse an "ends justifies the means approach" with the idea of "sacrificing for the greater good", whilst I would say "lesser of two evils", whilst Solas might just look at it and say "best option".
It would actually be interesting to hear his views on what Celene did at Halamshiral or her assertion that "if I have to burn one city to save the rest, so be it". I know Sera would hate that because that almost seems to dismiss the lives of all the little people that go up in smoke as inconsequential. It might seem that way to a noble but not the people who know them.
Perhaps Solas is there to provide balance because there are going to be people with very strong views about good and evil and when you're being pulled in all sorts of directions by your companions it might be helpful to have one who does put aside emotions and simply analyses the options. One of the Devs did say that we are going to be encouraged to reflect on our actions rather than just storm through without thinking about the effect we are having.
(For art purposes) what color do you guys think his eyes actually are? Brown or blue? xD
PURPLE!

Purple it is! xD
(I hope they're like that in game. They're so pretty. *o*)
I can try asking Patrick Weekes.... : D

I'm actually surprised no one has yet.
It is kind of hard to tell with the lighting and bugs and whatever.

Winking Solas! I love drawing him so I'll probably do a non-animated one with shading eventually.
Also. I'm working on a dancing Solas gif in this style. *Hint* It's an Irish dance. x3
(And yes! It'd be great to know for sure.)
Edit: Whoops. Didn't catch that white frame. Fix'd!
Edit Edit: Oi. I just saw how bad the transparency is on a dark screen...it looks better with a white backdrop..! xD
Just sent a tweet to him, he might respond! I'm curious as well since what happened with Leliana's. I think we talked about doing it in this thread but I had asked him about his favorite characters that Solas would banter with so we decided to wait on it, but nobody's remembered until now. ![]()
*Delurks* Look what you guys made me do! I hope your happy!
lol
This picture is wonderful perfection and so are you.
Solas the Fade Jedi, semi-confirmed rumor.
Man, they're really trying to get us to board the hype train for upcoming showing. I'm trying to keep my hopes low but, I must admit, I am curious.
It's pretty quiet in here so......
So this is what Solas was doing when he said he was dream hopping.

Wait, what? Board the hype train? [looks up from her seat in the front car]
SDCC was a complete lump of nothin' and I'VE BEEN BOUNCING IN MY SEAT FOR LIKE TWO WEEKS I AM READY LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GOOO.

really though. i seriously need GamesCon to be as great as they're saying it's gonna be because i'm over here doubting like "what if i still hate the gameplay...?" and "but WHAT IF there's a STUPID plot twist??" and, most importantly, "OH DEAR SWEET GODDESS, WHAT IF THEY BUTCHER MY WARDENS?!?!?!?!"
seriously. after shepard and REVAN i just can't anymore. my HEART CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE. i put SO much into my characters and if they just... i swear. if they do anything to my Cousland or Surana i am done. DONE. gone. I QUIT. I'M OUT. SCREW THIS. IT'S NOT WORTH IT. F*** IT. [howls into the night wind at the very thought]
i'm sorry if that sounds like an overly dramatic reaction but let's just say that when i think of drew karpyshyn and his "revan" my veins flow with a substance that is less blood and more a fiery rage, hate, and fury that threatens to liquefy my insides and leave me depending on machines to keep me alive. sooo y'knowww.
yeah i super need this to be awesome and full of SOLAS and also blackwall and cole pls and IS IT GAMESCON YET IS IT GAMESCON YET????? [rolls around]
i admire you people that have the self-control to keep calm, i have none.

I totally get you, I'm still not over what they did to Revan T_T (and ME3) it was so unnecessary! They could have kept mentions of Revan vague like they did with the Revanites or infinite engine but noooo they need to throw away our Revans in favor of a straight white guy with dark hair and stubble...really?!
ON an unrelated note, here is my inquisitor and Solas in drag (blame that RP generator!)
I don't feel like finishing the coloring ![]()
I can picture Sera laughing and Vivienne just scowling at her. She would say they look darling and Varric would make it a story. Bull might hit on them.

same here. My Surana, Brosca, and expecially Tabris are way too important for me! I feel like those characters are old friends of mine, I can picture them talking to each other!
I'm glad I never played SW:TOR, so I never had to see that impostor that sayd he was Revan. yeah.
Revan was female. stop (
) that man was an impostor, like that goblin that sayd he was Zevran in DA2. those where liars. ![]()

Don't anyone dare even mention Exile. My heart oh my god it broke into a million pieces when I found out what they did to Exile.
Atton and Exile... they never quite got there...

I will never play that questline, and it is pains me that I know it exists.
