Mmmm
I need help, I'm planning on drawing Solas and I got tons of references for studying his face but for some reason I didn't manage to capture him tilting his head down or having the camera above him.
Does anyone got a good reference?
I need his features in every angle possibleeeeee

Can I just give him a hug? PLEAASE!?
Just wanted to say that I never understood how anyone could have sex with Zevran without meaning to. To start with he asks if you could ever have a relationship with him before taking things any further. So if you are not interested then say so. Since you don't get Zevran until a good way after meeting Alistair, Morrigan and Leliana you really need to have made your mind up by then, unless you are planning on playing the field, which my human noble did as he had been reading that sex manual.
Then after all his disclosures about his training and sexual exploits, it is pretty obvious what giving you a massage is all about. So no excuse really.
I was always a bit puzzled by the exchange with Solas in the Fade where he said "everything changed" and I am meant to assume has some sort of romantic connotation, which I didn't at all but found I had to take the heart icon at this point or not proceed the romance. It is the one place where I still have sympathy for Solas because she is really pushy at this point and he is clearly uncomfortable. Of course subsequent events explain why he is feeling so awkward.
There is an ambiguous line in Trespasser if you take the dialogue option that has her saying "The Dread Wolf did take me". He responds that he would never have slept with her under false pretences (or something like that). So am I simply to assume this is him saying that his love was genuine (like he does at the end of the main game - "what we had was real"), or is he saying that the reason he didn't sleep with her was because he hadn't told her who he really was?

Question for the writers here.
Dialogues.
I so struggle with them. How do you write believable, flowing dialogues, and not slip ooc for respective people?
I've been hanging on hte last chapter second day now, just staring at the talk. It - is - not - flowing. It's bony. Unnatural. And often very ooc.
***
Edit: Screw it. I'll put it up anyway. Staring on the screen won't help it. Might need an hour on the treadmill again... hmm.
***
My expression right now -->
I'm still on my 1st cup of coffee so I don't remember who recommended reading dialogue out loud, but that is really the best way to see if it flows.
I read your chapter and while he's a bit ooc I didn't think the dialogue was chopped or off. I'll read it again later after I wake up some more, but I think maybe your being too critical of your own writing. I wasn't all that happy with my last two chapters after reading the final versions but even in good novels sometimes things clunk at first read and then fall into place later.
I'm feeling like the second picture after my chapter 8 as well.
I still feel I don't fit in here
it comes across as a romance only fan thread, I finished the Solas romance but was not impressed by it at all.
However I was deeply impressed and emotionally moved by a Solas and human Inquisitor friendship.
- I haven't played a qunari or dwarf long enough to get to any DLC's let alone finish the game so can't comment in that regard.
The Solas friendship arc is one of my two all time favourite character/companion associations-relationships with a protagonist in DAI.
The Solas friendship was the reason I decided to try the Solas romance. AS for this place being all about Solas romance it is more rounded than that. We discuss lore, game choices, his character in depth (and not strictly from a romantic view) and how we hope things will play out in the next DA game provided there is one.
His romance isn't for everyone. Honestly I didn't see it being worth the drama early on, but after playing through one I found myself hooked. Not just on the romance, but on Solas as a character. There are so many layers there and so much we still don't know about him. It's probably also the first time that I found myself not dismissing a character as lost once I found out they were the villain, betrayer, etc. Instead I'm like 'nope get your ancient elven ass back here and let me esplain a few things!'
Creeps me out, but if that's how people want to mod their game, it doesn't hurt me or my game.
agreed. I prefer him with mustache. I usually like modding my own character (as you can see on my picture) but I do not like to touch the companions faces (outfits I don't care) but I think that they should look how they are made to look XD Idk it's just.. they become another person if they change for me.. now mustache is not a big deal but I love Dorian's fab mustache XD
I found the male Lavellan friendship meaningful as well. I played it that he had genuinely come to respect Solas but did start to wonder about certain things that were said, particularly by Abelas. Then Solas goes off before he can really discuss these things. He felt really betrayed by Solas because he had come to be far more embracing of the notion of all races working together for the benefit of all than he had been when he began his journey and he had listened to all the exchanges Solas had had with his companions that for the most part he agreed with. Then he discovers that not only was Solas responsible for Cory getting the orb and that the Dalish had got it right about Fen'Harel separating them from their gods, both of which he could have accepted that Solas hadn't intended what followed, but then Solas says he still intends going through with his plan even though it will result in the destruction of the world that Lavellan knows, his clan and the people he loves. It wasn't as devastating for him as it was for my romanced Lavellan but it came pretty close. The difference is that she still clings to the hope she can save Solas from himself, whereas male Lavellan only wants to save the world from Solas.
Can I just give him a hug? PLEAASE!?
I know...I went through the nasty breakup lines just to take that very, very depressing screenshot on the fade out. How can people want to knife murder that sad, sweet little face? He just needs a hug and a cookie.
Here, my Lavellan sorta gave him a hug. I've been having a little too much fun with the flycam lately. 
I had to keep this one for the darling little butterfly. Yup...just kept it for the butterfly. 
Solas thread legacy: Fade butts, dom!Alistair, and this ^.
I'm part of the thread legacy? Yay!
And Sable's AU should be in that legacy. It should be a legacy of its own.
I totally need even more ideas to attempt to write at the moment.
I haven't seen Oculus yet. Maybe for one of my horror moods. I'm more inclined toward ghost stories than slasher. Gothic or period ghost stories are a plus.
Please say you've read M.R. James. If you haven't then you should.

See, I wouldn't really characterise her as aggressive there, and Solas isn't uncomfortable so much as hesitant. At several points throughout the romance, they do this little dance: Solas puts something ambiguous out there which makes you go "Did he just..?". Lavellan then generally asks for clarification. And then he makes it much clearer that yes, he did mean that. Even with the first kiss - her kiss is a simple kiss, and he's like, 'Wait, you didn't do that right, let me show you' 
Several more examples I remember:
S: (mentions her grace)
L: So you're suggesting I'm graceful.
S: I am declaring it. It was not a subject for debate.
S: ... I felt the whole world change.
L: Felt the whole world change?
S: Figure of speech.
L: I know what it means. I'm more interested in 'felt'.
S: You change everything.
(Balcony)
S: (talks about morals and spirit)
L: What does this mean, Solas?
S: It means I have not forgotten the kiss.
Solas is not the shy rabbit running from Big Bad Lavellan. Dude puts feelers out there, but yes, he does generally wait for her to confirm her own interest before he'll do the same.
As for that line from Trespasser, my understanding is that you're meant to interpret it in either of those ways. They left it up to you.
Now that we're talking creepy mirrors, and from the Silent Hill mentions earlier. This came to mind -
Spoiler
That is what I was thinking of too. Cee, get out of my head.
I love that game so much. It's the only game I've ever played that has deep and disturbing themes and yet also lets me run around dressed as a magical girl, blasting monsters with my SEXY BEAM and beating things up with the gold and silver pipes I got from a fairy who lives in a sewer.
Ugh, so annoying. I'm grateful that higher education is free here in Scandinavia, otherwise I would have been completely broke by now. I studied a total of 6 years to become a teacher, only to realize the hard way that there just weren't any jobs teaching my subjects. I managed to scrape along for 3 years working mostly as a special ed teacher, but they can not legally hire you long term unless you have a specific education for that. So this semester I made the tough decision to go back to the university, and now I will be studying in a completely different field altogether for the next 2 years. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I understand how hard it must feel for you to go back to college, and I too often try to avoid telling people that I'm studying. Feel free to rant about it, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
So Solas, uhmmm...
Spoiler
I study at a swedish university as well atm, last semester though. 6,5 years of university in total 
Hang in there!*hugs* Do you have any weeks left on the study loans (CSN)?
There were a lot of spats on the Anders thread after DA2 about whether Male/Female Hawke was "better" for the romance. And oh god the fights over friendship vs. rivalry. That's when I tapped out. Anders is a hot mess no matter what you do. So pick your flavor of hot mess, enjoy, and STFU
I have never understood the need to be "best" or right in a game that's all about choice. What you do doesn't invalidate what someone else does. That's the whole goddamn point of providing options like race, class, sexuality, and romance options. I mean, *I* think Garrus is best digital husbando ever, but that doesn't mean anyone else has to agree
even though I'm totally right
FITE ME IRL.
Liara is the superior digital partner.

I remember one guy on the old BSN who complained that Zev had ninja'd him because he thought he was getting a platobuddy dudefriend massage from him.
The Dread Wolf line can mean either. It depends on whether you think they slept together or not,

ROFL.

Sadly nothing... But I have worked the last 3 years so I have saved some money, and I have already payed of my previous loan so I'm good on that front. I'm mostly just feeling "left out" because everyone else I know work and have the money to do fun things. That's why it's so great to have this thread! I'm often bored out of my mind, but then I come here, see all the awesome art/screen shots of Solas and the occasionally hilariously ridiculous discussions, and I feel a bit better. 
What are you studying if you don't mind my asking? Perhaps we could start a Swedish division of the Solas fan club.
*Hugs back*
ROFL.
He was so offended by this, too. It was the first thread I ever read on the BSN. It went on for several pages of him complaining and people pointing out that it was clearly a romance trigger. Unfortunately he also started getting super homophobic so the thread go deleted.
As if that would stop Zevran
*wakes up and begins liking things.*
And..... already outta likes.
I'm beginning to think Zevran pickpockets my likes.
If you hang out in here long enough, you'll realize the gutter is a familiar place for us to dip into.
......I've only been awake for 30 minutes! how am I out of likes.....
Please say you've read M.R. James. If you haven't then you should.
I actually haven't, so yay, new things to read.

It is such a contrast, but fun playing like that. My first time through, I ran out of ammo in the final boss fight, so had to use the katana.
