Here's hoping that Solas' popularity will spare him from a totally pessimistic ending. I wouldn't mind tragedy so much if its well written and gives them a comforting wrap up, not like...well.... Thane. I'm still gonna hold out hope that they get a good ending and have the option of being together in one way or another. P...Patrick wouldn't tease so much if they would just end it without a good wrap up....right? RIGHT?!
The pessimism is spreading.
They could still deal with him in a DLC! There are some big story ones and the Dragon Age team didn't feel the need to baby people in regards to previous events in DAI.
Yay
I feel better.

Oh no! I've infected everyone!
I'm not 100% sold on it being a happy ending or on it being a sad ending, but I trust Patrick Weekes to give the story a good ending.
I'm extremely paranoid about all those devices Solas made me activate to strengthen the veil.

TBH I'd be happy with any post-game Solas content that will give Quizzy ANY sort of closure.
Of course I would rather have a happy, heart-wrenching (but believable) ending, but that's preferences. Pfffft.
I'm extremely paranoid about all those devices Solas made me activate to strengthen the veil.
First playthrough I be like "oh cool homie, I'd search for all them devices, you do your magicy thingy and make dat veil stronger. We'd be like superhero hippies!"
Now I'm like "should I? Should I really? He disapproved me drinking from the well... I need to regain the approval, but... Is this a good idea? Would this come back to bite me in the ass later on?"

You know, I never actually thought they could serve any other purposes that what he says 
Gotta say, I'm not big on side missions, so most pt I actvate like 2, maybe 3 of them... And that's too bad because I'm planning supporting him no matter what he intends to do... At least by now, I'm in some "I'll follow you blindly" kind of phase 
He's broken us all with tears of sadness, surely the ultimate now would be for him to fix us all with tears of joy..right? There are still fan tears involved...
Edit: And then we can make him a god.

Or tears of beauty?
I imagine how beautiful it would be when the veil falls down around them....
While they are standing on a cliff.
And the sun is setting down and reflects in Solas' eyes.
I'll stop now. Goodbye.

Right. He just needs to listen to Truly Madly Deeply instead of Hallelujah the next time he writes Solas. Or Miracles Happen. I'm still advocating for that one. You just can't write sad with the song from the end of The Princess Diaries.

So many tears, we could fill an olympic sized swimming pool.. tears of joy are so much sweeter.
Oh, all pessimism and tears 
Have a look at this vid instead! (Also has Solas in it!)
Allan tried to warn us at least
He did say "have Solas", it means it's possible.
DLC CONFIRMED.
You know, I never actually thought they could serve any other purposes that what he says
I lean toward playing it that way as human, I think that if Solas is in the wrong then it works for the story to be tricked by him in sort of ironic way, if he is in the right then well.. yay!
I think when playing as elf things get far more complex, depending on if you are pro-dalish or not. And if you are playing as the anti-dalish keeper candidate thenby supporting the Solas you fail miserably at your traditional job to boot.
Playing as human makes the story more traditional, playing as elf makes it more tragic in any outcome.
I'd just say that "Andraste and the Maker were all elven Gods and Shartan with them" theory won't come to be, I think. The Maker and the Chantry pretty much cement human religion and faith - they stabilize the world, give people(mostly humans of Thedas) hope and so on and so forth. They're the touchstone of human society: we're told about this as early as DAO, since the game begins with the Chant of Light and the character creator immediately tells us about the Chantry if we chose the human noble origin. Besides, the Chantry seems to be correct about something as fundamental as the First Blight.
To take the absent Maker and the legend about his human bride/prophet away, to say nothing ever happened but a bunch of powerful elven Dreamers getting together - well, that's pretty much destroying the world of Dragon Age. (And mobbing the elves in the process by angry and desperate humans). Short term, it might be good for the drama - hey, look, elves are oppressed! Again! Long term, it's a disaster.
They might go and scare the player a bit, like in that Alienage quest. "There is no Maker. There is no Golden City. But there are demons, yes..." But saying Mythal arranged everything with a little help from old friends who woke up in time for the party? Nope.

DLC CONFIRMED.
But if it requires tears, we might not have shed all required yet...
Sorry.

What about... happy tears?

SamanthaJ Greatly Approves.
Pessimism should always be countered in this way.

Sorry.
Well then, that means we need to convince moarrrr people to do the Solas romance. That would do it.
There are plenty of people who didn't - we'll earn more lurkers and members in this thread, get more power for our massive hive mind, and collect tears along the way.
THERE IS NOT WAY THIS COULD POSSIBLY FAIL.
If it requires tears, do they have to be our tears? Can we make others cry in the name of Solas and collect their tears for our dark sacrifice to the DLC gods?
@Shari
Yes. Inquisition of sadness. Let it be so.
Where does that "tears required" come from? <.<
I don't like the sound of that!

*tentatively raises hand*
*ahem* Hi, everyone. Um, I'm R2s Muse... and I am officially addicted to Solas. :/ I haven't finished the romance yet, altho I have a sense of where I'm headed (second playthrough, vague spoilers). I was told that I could seek comfort and understanding here as I head toward those dark, exquisite moments. 
In offering, I bring Solas in ancient elven armor, which just about made me fall out of my chair when I equipped it last night. omfg.

Dark ritual with two massive pools of tears, the unborn will used to host the inevitable tragedy of the Solas romance.
At 10 years of age he meets with Flemeth who takes his burden, the soul of tragedy, and shapes it into hope.
Solas steals the soul nourished by Flemeth, assuming it's a soul of tragedy (seeing he is grim and fatalistic) and his destiny changes.
I've stopped making sense some time ago.
