In fairness, there are times when even my romanced Quizzy would have had some major arguments with Solas. He can be very short and use some pretty provocative language, like when he calls Bull "a mindless beast", or shoots down Dorian for asking him questions, or telling Sera that she's not what she should be. I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of Sera, but I was raging with him. How dare he tell someone how they should think because they are of one race or another. If I could have transported myself into my Quizzies body, I would have bitch slapped him down sooooo hard.

 

That's the thing though, he's a character, with his own flaws and skewed perceptions. I can forgive most people certain biased views so long as they are willing to re-evaluate those beliefs later on and admit to their faults. Solas does that. It makes the parts of him that annoy me all the more bearable because it makes him all the more real.

 

This. I love Solas, but I still find myself saying "Oof, Solas, that was a bit harsh," when he verbally beats one of our companions. Especially since it seems to come out in early banter, and then things ease up as the chain goes further along. If someone told me that after what Solas says to Bull at the start of the Qun discussion could eventually lead to him playing a friendly game of mental chess with the same guy, I don't think I'd entirely believe them.

 

Hell, reading Solas' dialogue with Vivienne seems to relax the longer you have the two of them talking together as the story progresses. It's easy to see why people might not take to him, he takes time to enjoy properly. I suppose first impressions mean a lot more than I give credit for sometimes. x)

 

Edit: I think how sparingly the banter triggers is a factor in this as well. I can still go an hour or two without hearing anyone talk.

I wonder how I would have felt about Solas had I not done his romance first. I flipped out pretty hard over that after credits scene but I wasn't angry at him because I still remembered THIS DAMN FACE when he broke up with my elf.

I only played a Lavellan because I went....eh, tired of playing humans and tired of playing anyone with a trace of nobility. Let's play a Dalish PC.

 

Stumbled into the whole Solas romance thing, committed early, still in Haven.

 

Got accidentally spoiled right before What Pride Had Wrought because I was looking up vallaslin designs and saw he was Fen'Harel.

 

My response was basically: WHAT. NO, WAIT WAIT WAIT, WHAT?

 

Did the temple mission the next night, paid extra special attention because I knew. Then went to talk to him....did not know the sadness was coming. Ugh.

 

So the whole end took on such sadness. My friends who didn't romance him didn't understand why I said there was like a sad tone to the end for me. To everyone else, Solas disappeared and there was a party and happy times.

Random Laidlaw quote about the Inquisitor's perspective in Trespasser:  

 

"You're constantly asking yourself if you're the actual danger to the people. If the problems you give birth to are just as detrimental as the ones you're fighting."

 

...meanwhile Solas is all rolling his eyes in the background like, "GEE, I wonder how that feels."

Hah, I've never had the furniture rearrangement scene but is there an option for you to say;

 

"Hey Viv, I love what you've done with the place! Actually, I've given you a couple of the staff and booked you into to completely clean and re-arrange the rest of the Keep too. There's a brush and pan by the doorway, hop to it sweetheart."

In general, people didn't like Zevran, either, because they didn't get to know him.

 

My boyfriend killed him. :mellow:

 

Zevran is also a pretty layered character, and if you get to know him, he'll probably defy most people's initial expectations.

 

My next run will be my Trev mage, who I have intended for Sera but also to see Vivienne (who I don't really like much) as a mentor. Her team will probably be Varric and Blackwall (since he and Sera are good friends). It will be weird to hardly use Solas.

This is exactly why - if the Dalish Inquisitors are just going to moan about him being Fen'Harel and refuse to listen to him because of that - he'll likely be quick to point out that ironically Quizzy may be in similar situation now ;P

Even though I clearly stated my being pro-mage to Viv, I still did all her quests very politely, and she's always acted nicely around me. I'll never agree with her political and social views, but she's not a bad person and my Inquisitor gets along with her.

Yeah, I don't agree with Viv either particularly - but I love her as a character. It's half the fun of playingan RPG - you can play the sort of character who does agree with her views. I had great fun taking her everywhere with my Adaar (plus, she's fantastic for dragon killing).

Not really. When I saw on my first playthrough that I had missed the opportunity to romance Solas (denied the Haven kiss as I wasn't sure of myself yet), I settled for Sera, and then made a second (and canon) playthrough entirely dedicated to the stupid bald elf! But at least I knew what I was getting into, kind of.

Is it just the lighting in that picture, or have they put eyeliner on Solas?

 

... it's kind of hot.

He does look like he has eyeliner. :P Also, his eyes are brown here instead of blue/grey.

Yes.

 

Why did the patch break every single one of my mods?

 

Couldn't I keep the pajamas at least?  You find my Revas hot in those, right?

I did not like Vivienne at all in my first 2 playthroughs, and I refused to kill the white wyvren for her, but third time is a charm and I did her missions and got to know her a little more and now she's not so bad.

 

I feel like people who don't like Solas haven't given him a chance. It's kind of hard to like a character you ignore.

 

Edit: I also didn't like Zevran at first either, but then I romanced him and he's so sweet. It was a surprise.

 

I agree.

 

She's okay. I just don't agree with some of her views. My first pt I totally ignored her but after that I talked to her more and did her quests. I do my best to get to know all my companions even if they are unkind.  (Sten is not easy to get along with)

 

It would be nice if people would give Solas a chance and maybe read more about him get to know him. He's not a evil elf he just has secrets and have made mistakes when he wanted to do something good, his plans backfired on him. I've read where there are some people that just want to kill him and I'm only guessing here that it seems that they don't know much about Solas or the reason behind what he did at the end. They just want to automatically stamp him as a villain. I'm not saying he is perfect cause he isn't everybody's got flaws in this game but I still love him like I love Allistair,Zevran,Fenris and Anders.  <3

Yeah, Solas definitely needs to take some lessons about  "how to take proper selfies with good lighting". That, along everything else involving his appearance. *throws Kim K's selfies book at the stupid bald elf*

I found Sten very easy to get along with, but I think he throws people who are expecting to have to tailor their answers to what they think the companion wants to hear.  Sten, however, likes people who speak their mind and stick by their position.  I found the approval I got from this was outweighting the disapproval.

I know now.

 

But when I started playing DA:O I would always get disapproval from him and after a few pts I just started talking mean to him and he approved and I'm like "What?"  :P

I know I started a mini hellspiral when I made the 'what we had was real' comment yesterday, but I'm still going to be here.  The thread will be less active, but I doubt most of us are going to abandon it completely (ALTHOUGH ALL OF YOU SWAPPING CONTACT INFO LIKE WE'RE IIN THE LAST DAY OF SUMMER CAMP WAS NOT BODING WELL).  With Solas looking set to become the new Flemeth then I'm sure we'll re-assemble when DA4 is announced.
