Oh, yes.

It's my favorite kiss scene. I spent way too much time replaying it and messing around with flycam tonight. I caught my Lavellan giving Solas a "What is this weirdo doing?" look.
As much as I love the kiss-scene with Solas in the fade, I still think my favorite is the one with Fenris at the end of DA2 - the little sweet speech before, and the kiss is so passionate, and also for him to do that in front of everyone when he usually is so taciturn and closed off with his emotions... ![]()
The fade-kiss is a close second though.

Omg, your Lavellan's expression is priceless! Haha.
Hey, you ever try rejecting him in this scene instead of kissing him? He gets this disappointed look on his face that's really cute. Tsk. Ridiculous apostate, playing hard to get and acting all reluctant to jump in it when, really, he wants you to jump his bones.

"You throw me off so easily"
.
This part ... I'm not sure if Flemeth says that when you have a party around you? The saves I've used have had Kieran so I usually see Flemeth in the Fade during that part. Does she say the same thing in a playthrough without Kieran?
I'm actually not sure either - I was sincerely asking right there! I do know on my last play through I used the default world state without Kieran and let Morrigan have the Well, so when it came to meeting Mythal, me and my party all ran off to the clearing to talk to her - and I know Solas was there because he made a comment while Morrigan was inspecting the altar.
What I can't remember is if Flemythal made that "reckoning" comment or not. But Solas can definitely be present when you meet her.

I always go back and see what happens if you pick the break-up option. (I... I really like drama, guys) I think I prefer the break-up in the "Sleep well?" conversation after, because if you agree the kiss was a mistake, he says "thank you" and just sounds so... relieved.
The break-up in the Crestwood (You breaking up with him, not the inevitable reversal) is pretty nice, too. He's composed and maybe a little surprised, but still lingers after.

I don't have the heart to reject him in the Fade.

Are you sure? He's there up until Morrigan actually summons Mythal, I thought. She shoos everyone away and makes some comment about how they would hear them if there was shouting.
I think technically a "pythonic deity or spirit" is a seer (named so after Apollo's oracle in Pythia), but yeah I was afraid that people would think that I had an unnatural interest in snakes...
I don't think you technically denied it though.... ![]()

Maybe? I only played through the scene once a few months ago, so my memory's probably pretty spotty. ![]()

All I really remember about that is being really annoyed I couldn't run off to tell Solas I met Mythal. I mean, honestly? Did they not think that would be the FIRST thing a Lavellan might want to do? ![]()

I remember being really annoyed about how you can't talk to him about the eluvian either. Right after I got that scene where Morrigan shows it to you, I bolted for the rotunda going "Solas! Solas! Morrigan has an eluvian! Do ya wanna see it? It's right in the garden we can go geek out about it together!" And there's not even an option to mention it to him. ![]()
Seriously, I know Morrigan's supposed to be an expert on weird magic, but given that Solas is also supposed to be an expert on weird magic, it feels odd that you can't really confer with him. It'd probably be useful to get Dorian and Vivienne, and maybe even Dagna and Cullen and Cass to give their opinions on it too, even if it only amounts to "It's a dangerous, unknown artifact that presents a hole in our security and is better off destroyed."
Really, the Inquisition's lousy with people who have considerable experience with magic. You'd think they'd all have something to say about this stuff.

Unfortunately, I accidentally spoiled myself that he was Fen'Harel right before the temple....I decided to read something about vallaslin out of curiosity and there it was. (My reaction: WHAT?! WHAAAAAAAT? *rushes to play through temple*).
Then, of course he breaks up after, but the fact you couldn't talk to him about Mythal and all the ancient elfy things that just happened to you, it really did feel missing.
I don't think you technically denied it though....

I refuse to confirm or deny that allegation!

That is so not what it looks like!

I don't have the heart to reject him at all. Not even for science. Which is basically why the second playthrough had to be Man!Adaar
Lowest chance for egghead derailment.

Ahhh, this song.

Neither did I. I wish the decision wasn't so final, and you could say no to him here, then pick up the romance again at a later time. Like hey, maybe I wanna play hard to get, too! Lol.
Found audio of Solas battle shouts and reactions to fallen companions, and it reminded me how in my most recent playthrough I kept hearing Solas growling "Fenedhis!" a lot... which I find kinda funny.
Like... he's so lyrical and usually careful with how elegantly he crafts his comments and responses and we assume the same must be for when he speaks elvhen language... only it may yet be that Solas has quite a potty mouth and reverts to elvish when he wants to vent some steam ![]()
So basically:
Solas using common: *mostly polite, elegant and proper*
Solas using elvish: *swears profusely*
...Or perhaps he used his favorite "fenedhis" curse so much, eventually Evanuris began making fun of him and this is how name Fen'Harel was born ![]()

He uses it specifically if the Inquisitor is getting hurt or killed, so he's worried his last hope has bit the dust. I'd curse up a storm, too. ![]()

He specifically has a spell to rise Inky from the ground with full health bar, so I'm not sure what he's complaining about xD Plus, he really seemed to use this almost exclusively, even though in my last PT I didn't even die that much xD
"Oh, not this again... crap, I do look ridiculous with those tiny wings on my back from firing revive spell nearby. Very funny, spirits.
"
Also, I think I know how Solas would look like if he reincarnated as a human (minus the chin) ![]()

That... is not that far away.
edit: why there isn't an AU of Solas working as a cotoure model?
Considering that the high-end fashion designers and magazines usually prefer good-looking, but distinct or unique faces or beauty types I can totally see him on a cover of Vogue, muahaha ![]()

... Incidentally I think this is what I think some people might think this thread looks like, when a random Solasmancer has "a moment of clarity" and briefly sees that the character they fawn over obsessively is in fact a moustache twirling cartoon villain - so the rest re-educates her ![]()
