I just figured out what happened - she misunderstood how to use the Keep, so she never correctly approved her choices. We fixed that at least!

You got me real scared here as I started a new game like 3 days ago
Sorry, didn't mean to scare anyone! My Warden and Hawke have been restored, but my Warden's portrait is still missing. Just a minor annoyance, but I hope it will be restored eventually.
I have a few things I wanted to say I'm sorry it's not directly related to current conversations but what better place than the Solas Blanketfort ? Really there isn't. (broken english incoming)
As someone said a few times, I believe it was TheEggCrusher I'm sorry if I'm mistaken, I understand-relate way too much to Solas and I feel like a terrible person. I'm part of the neuroatypical spectrum (loved Cole a lot for this same reason, Weekes said he wrote him based on NA people he knew and that's exactly what I thought) and I have trouble relating to human people irl as everyone feels so empty to me. When Solas said Thedas was like a world of Tranquils it just hit me real hard. I wished there was something else than "We weren't even people to you ??" to say because I wasn't angry the slightest, I just UNDERSTAND to the point it's terrifying. But the worst part is that I have so much trouble with the world I'm not feeling much emotions anymore towards non-fictional things, that would actually make me quite the Tranquil myself, wouldn't it ? Ancient god boyfriend would despise me nooooooooooo-
I don't know if this was discussed before as I obviously haven't read EVERYTHING (I'm sorry) and my theory isn't solid at all, but I've got the feeling that as Solas used Cory to awake its orb, intending to let him die in the process, I think it's likely the same thing is happening to him right now. Just awoke from his slumber, he immediately gets to the conclusion that the only way to remove the veil implies burning everything in veilfire, he won't be looking for any other way in the time remaining before he completes the conditions and he doesn't even expect to make it alive at all. (for example time magic ? I don't know if it implies veilfire but I can't recall of anything of the sort, it still gets everyone currently living in Thedas "erased" and, well, we did the exact same thing with Alexius after all, cancelling the bad timeline) The other side of pride is still wisdom, so if the veil is to be removed he should be naturally looking for multiple ways even while setting up the current plan in case he doesn't find anything in the meantime. He did say it would take years and what he intends to do probably doesn't need a 24h-a-day investment. He's open to being showed another alternative but won't try to search at all, It's as if he was told there wasn't any by someone he trusts enough not to question. And I think Mythal would be a fine candidate.
Morrigan or Inq drank from the well of sorrows and they get bound to Mythal's will (wow coincidence), which makes Solas uneasy if it went to Inq. I doubt the devs would have made him say that if it wasn't going to have repercussions later (totally breaking the rp, I know). Sure she was from the Enavuris squad but she's still supposed to be her nice respectable friend ? He's got to fear her even a little to react this way. (BONUS POINT WHEN I REALISED MY LAVELLAN HAD MYTHAL VALLASLIN but that probably won't have any impact on the game lol)
At the end of the main game, their meeting felt like minion-to-master report to me, even if he ends up getting power increase from her, I don't believe we won't see her anymore as she's probably uploaded part of her will to the eluvianet right before. It was the first and only time we saw Solas being submissive like that, at least that's the way I read the scene. And with one of Cole's banters I've seen some of you thinking Mythal "summomed" Solas to come to the physical world in the first place. Hence, she could totally still be giving him orders, or "friendly advice" like "you shouldn't have given your orb to Cory" well of course he didn't need you to realise that. It felt like she was expressing boss-disappointment, but as she's been here the whole time Fen'harel was asleep, she knows the current world well and can pull off back-up plans in order to achieve her goals, whatever they could be.
The whole Justice-turned-Revenge part makes me believe she could totally apply for "the super mastermind behind everything" even Solas's desperate actions, quite the mastermind-ception indeed.
Again that might be already proven 100% wrong from codices I haven't heard of, but really I'm so broken the last thing I want to see is the boyfriend's resolve actually being used against him by the one he respects the most. Well that could make it easier to redeem him in DA4 but still, I can already imagine the pain. And I'm already exhausted from all this Solas-pain. I made this drawing to illustrate how I feel about all of this (it's my new desktop wallpaper and I'm dead from looking at it, I'm STUPID)
Thanks for reading I had a lot to say I hope it was ok, I didn't mean to disturb I don't know I'm awkward but still I'm sorry if anything is to be sorry about.
Edit : I swear if bioware has Mythal make well-of-sorrowed-inquisitors kill Solas themselves (or turn up against the new chars and having to get killed) I'm going to LOSE IT, Weekes did hint that we Lavellans were going to get our long-awaited romance closure but I just can't trust them on that
Hello Amburu, welcome to the Blanket Fort. I don't really know much about lore or can talk about theories, but I just wanted to say that I love the art you drew! Also, I have a hard time relating to people as well. I try to stay away from people as much as possible. I'm not bad online, but in the real world people bother me. People don't seem real... Anyway, you didn't disturb the thread and there is nothing to be sorry for. 
I ramble a lot...
I've just realized how similar the Witch Hunt and Trespasser DLCs are.
First of all, both Solas and Morrigan leave at the end of the main game without giving a full explanation.
Now, let's take a look a the plot in the two DLCs: Everything starts with a certain mission (retrieve the Dalish book/ Stop the Qunari) but the Hero's main interest in this is to meet his/her love again.
Some time later, the reunion happens when the LI is just about to leave through an eluvian.
I can almost imagine Morrigan saying "I suspect you have questions".
Oh god... Inquisition was the first Bioware game I ever played and I did the Solas romance. Only now I am almost finished Origins. I kinda sorta knew the gist of the DLC stuff... but my Warden is a male Dalish elf romancing... Morrigan. I'm almost at the Landsmeet, lol. Are you telling me I got suckered into the exact same angst romance TWICE 
I am swearing off mages for good, Bioware.

Same here. I took the backwards route through the games and I did romance Morrigan with a Dalish elf.
Uh... did I spoil anything? Are you playing DAO for the first time?
Yup, I'm playing DAO for the first time. I've been busy so I've been slogging through it pretty slowly - an hour or two here and there. (Unlike Inquisition.)
I have been extremely lax in putting any effort into avoiding spoilers, because the game is hella old, and I did remember skimming over some stuff about the witch hunt scenario. Your comments really highlighted the Solas/Morrigan similarities -- I wouldn't say anything was really spoiled per se.

Don't worry, you can get a more satisfying ending in Witch Hunt than Lavellan did in Trespasser. =p

I was watching the video of PW and another guy (forget his name) from Bioware giving a talk on how they developed the Trespasser storyline and they mentioned how one of their team was Solasmancer Prime, so whatever they do with his story, it would seem for Solasmancers there is someone fighting your corner with regard to outcome and closure.
Wish I'd had someone doing that for my Dorian romance, because it is clear that PW and DG wanted him hooked up with Bull, so whilst I was happy enough when he declared "there will always be an us", I still have to endure a long distance romance with only rumours that we still occasionally get to see one another. I live in hope for more in the next game; they deserve to grow old together.
Still, at least with Dorian I'm not having to face the prospect of him planning on destroying the world. My poor Solas romance is an emotional wreck; in fact it is only her devoted friend Dorian calling up on his crystal at regular intervals that is keeping her sane. It would help if Solas didn't keep haunting her dreams.

Dorian and Bull don't exactly get to spend a whole lot of time together either. And you should still have the crystal with the romance so you at least get to talk to each other. Unfortunately they probably needed to have Dorian in Tevinter for some reason just as they needed to have all Inquisitors in roughly the same place. Ending slides notwithstanding, the Inquisitor isn't exactly committed to anything - they're no longer running a massive organisation if the Inquisition still exists as it's now a much smaller peace keeping force or they're just doing random things that can easily be a cover for what they're actually doing, i.e. trying to stop Solas. At any rate I imagine Dorian will show up at some point in the next game if the game is set in Tevinter. He can't die, even if he doesn't stay with the Inquisition and he always ends up back in Tevinter.
Edit to add: It might not actually BE Solas haunting her dreams. She might just be dreaming about him, as in her own subconscious is creating his image in her dreams and he has nothing to do with it.
With the Dorian/Bull they get a whole two extra screens, one for each character and a lot more story text overlaying them. In the one for Bull it details how they have this nice little villa on the border of Tevinter where they get together from time to time; in the one for Dorian it details a whole sequence how Bull rescues Dorian from the Venatori. Compare that with the brief one liners for Sera/Dagna or Cole/Maryden. You get the crystal whether lover or friend, even if the text is slightly different between the two (and PW maintains Bull gets a crystal as well if in a romance), so the only romance related screen unique to our romance is a brief reference to the people thinking they have spotted the Inquisitor on the streets of Minrathous, sneaking in to aid his Amatus. I believe Bull romances have it even worse because it just mentions about them each having their dragon tooth necklace to remind them of the other without even suggesting they get together. So there is a definite bias concerning Dorian/Bull that to my mind actually gives them more romance related content in the epilogue screens than any other romance.
I'm also pretty sure it is implied that it is actually Solas haunting her dreams and not simply the wishful thinking of her subconscious. It is certainly more meaningful if it is Solas than if she is just imagining it.

Eh, I was just pointing out that Dorian and Bull don't get a chance to stay with each other all the time either. But ok.
And the ending slide said, "if they were more than simple dreams she could not say". So yeah while it might be more meaningful if it actually is Solas, there's no definitive answer one way or another.
Edit to add: And to be honest they may just be leaving that to headcanon. It wouldn't surprise me.

Eeeeehhh... I still don't really care much for Dorian. Cassandra's my Lavellan's bro for life.
Me personally the Trespasser DLC is so poorly written. Why in the world the Qunari want to invade Thedas after The Breach has been sealed, and Solas wants to blow up the world and want to help @ the same time. What in the world are they thinking?
I think the Qunari's reasons are mentioned but I cannot recall them. It's likely that the Qunari want to invade the South because of what has recently happened including the mage rebellion which they would see as severe mismanagement of the mages.
Solas says that he does not desire more harm or trouble for the people of the world in their last time before he initiates his plans. This is why he wanted to stop the Qunari: he did not want the world and it's people to spend their last time fighting the Qunari or being assimilated by them. He did not wish to kill the Inquisitor because of his fond feelings for them or because their death could and likely would bring about unrest and chaos.
