Uh yeah.

But...he's not. I mean, you can always envision him as being dark-skinned without a pic. 

Though again it's not really my business.

Cream Eggs and Chocolate Eggs are both nice.

 

But we should remember, Solas is neither, he's an Elf.

It's a bit more complicate for him.

Come on calling Solas "Dread" Wolf they might as well make him a person of African descent with dreadlocks hence Dread Wolf

Yeah, the reason he was called like this should've been for his hairs, not because of the actual reason. 

Do you seriously believe there's even a slight change they might change his look? (i'm based this on your use of 'might make him'.)

I just wondered why they called him Dread Wolf is all I'm saying.

[The Elder King]

Because he is/was feared. In the legend he seals of the elven gods, and it's considered the reason why they didn't help the elf during Arlathan (which isn't that far off the truth).

Perhaps they felt it would have generated some unfortunate implications if the guy who the modern Dalish regard as their devil, as well as someone who can be considered the hidden antagonist of the entire game, was a tanned individual with dreadlocks as he was depicted in his original concept art?

 

Not saying that's the actual reason he changed looks between concept art and final game, but probably the reason bald, white guys are often fictional antagonists is in part because they're so pain and nondescript in appearance. But also because writers really hate it when people try to play the race card, if they've broken from cliche and created an antagonist who doesn't happen to be white.

was he really is skin that dark in the concept? I don't recall.

Phantom would've actually like if he was depicted as such, given his theories.

edit: yeah, found them. I was thinking about the concept of all the characters around a table, forgetting about the personal concepts.

I know that part why he's called him the Dread Wolf, but it would be nice if he had dreadlocks to match his title.

Nah, he's fine without them.  I'm generally not a fan of the bald look either but it really suits him.

How does that make sense?  The Dread in his title has nothing to do with his hair style (or lack thereof).  Even playing DAO and reading about the Dread Wolf did not make me think, "Hm an elven god with the word dread in their title should totally have dreadlocks".  That's like saying Sera should have been Blonde Jenny instead of Red Jenny - or she should have had red hair because Red Jenny.  It still makes no sense.

Unless the ancient elves were somehow terrified of dreadlocks, I don't see how that would be at all sensible.

Well, that is why they made him straight instead of bi apparently. They were worried about him falling into the Depraved Bisexual trope so they made him heterosexual instead. So you could be right.

I actually feel like bald fits his character way better. It conjures an image of a wise sage, or a spiritual monk - both of which fit him a bit better than the warrior image dreadlocks tend to invoke. Not to mention there's a good in-universe reason for him to be bald - it makes him even more non-descript, and thus, easier to be forgotten and fade into the background.

Dreadlocks would be awesome though.

Don't feed the troll, guys.

No, but really... scary dreadlocks! He'd have been like Medusa or something, with snakes for hair. Except just imagine Weekes having to field questions on Twitter on whether the carpet matched the drapes.

 

I'm so sorry for that mental image.

[Ghost Gal]

I like to headcanon that he had them when he was the young, "cocky and hot-blooded, always eager for a fight" soldier he describes to Blackwall in party banter. But present-day? Yeah, I think the bald look suits him more.

[Baboontje]

Usually I'm not a fan of bald, but it works for Solas. Plus, don't want to offend anyone, but I really don't like dreads. I find them a bit gross actually.

[CapricornSun]

I'm alway very disapointed when I see the words 'concept!Solas' and it's not of his 'YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MUM, MYTHAL' haircut.

 

People in the fandom tend to ignore that one, even though technically that is part of the "concept!Solas" lineup. They just tend to focus on the one or two hairstyles in the concept art (mainly the dreadlocks and sometimes the one where he has flowing side swept hair) and that is only concept!Solas that's valid to them. 

 

EDIT: Top! I guess while we're on this topic, it's time to bring this back.

He does match his title. He is dreadfully hawt.

Agreeeeeed.
