Anyway yesterday a question came to my mind and I want to ask if anyone knows.
I was thinking how commendable it is that after 2 years of complete silence Lavellan still loves Solas. I was trying to put myself in her shoes and 2 years is a really long time. I don't know if I could do that.. I did it when I was 18 but I was young back then. (But then again she is also young..). Now I feel like I'm older and I've no time for regrets!
Aanyway the question is: you know when Viddasala tells you the truth about Solas.. When I was with my Lavellan I picked the
reply "I have to save him!", and both Cassandra and Dorian disapproved, while Cole greatly approved. When I was with my Trev and same party, I picked the "Solas is our friend, no matter what we have to help him!", then everyone approved. Why the difference? It kinda seems like they disapprove of the fact that I still love him!
I don't know what the friend comment says, but the female Lavellan who romanced Solas who picks the heart option says something like, "That's why Solas left! He was helping us with the Qunari! Come on, we've got to save him!"
It's not outright stated, but I think it's implied that Lavellan has been pining after Solas all these years. Between being locked out of any other romance after he dumps her and her rather emotional response (no matter what she says) when companion ask about Solas in Trespasser (before this point), the game implies that she's not over him. Add that to her saying, "Solas left because he's helping us against the Qunari," and it sounds like she's desperately making excuses for him.
Long story short, I've heard some people interpret the companions' disapproval to the "
" option as them thinking, "Oh, honey... not again." Or them thinking that she really needs to wake up and smell the coffee and admit that Solas is probably not the great guy she thinks he is. (That between him being an "agent of Fen'Harel" and him leaving the Qunari corpse at our door so as to spark this fight with the Qunari means he's probably got some shady motives at best.)
Cole, on the other hand, ships these two really hard, and is thrilled when she reveals that she still loves and trusts and wants to help Solas. As Cole keeps saying, "He's not that kind of wolf, he just wants to help," and a female Lavellan who shows she still believes in Solas' good intentions and won't give up on him makes him happy. Cole, at his core, wants people to be happy, and he knows that Lavellan and Solas love each other and would be happy together, so it's likely he supports her not giving up on him and fighting to redeem him and save him from himself.
