Hoping I can get Patrick Weekes or David Gaider's to chime in on this.

Everyone knows that scene where you play wicked Grace with your inner circle. Personally I love it. It really shows off best the camaraderie the inquisitor has with her/his team. I felt a little sad that two members were missing, Solas and Leliana, and though I think it may have been more of an issue of lack of resources, my other (more childish) self would really like to know if the writers had an idea, or story as to why those two weren't present at that time. I'm sure Varric invited them

Card games don't have anything to do with the Fade, so Solas is not interested in playing.

[Beomer]

I think it is revealed through banter between Iron Bull and someone that Solas picked up the game very fast and got too good with it, so I guess that's why he isn't invited to play.

As for Leliana, I'm guessing her reasons are probably more or less the same. You'll notice even Vivienne does not play. It's almost as if the players who are best the the Game, don't play a mere game of cards.

Or I guess it might simply be because it did not suit Solas and Vivienne's character.

[leaguer of one]

So you want to have the two people who can out play everyone in the game?

[shit's fucked cunts]

Solas is a nerd.

I think it's a banter between Blackwall and Solas. But I guess Solas, Leli and Vivienne did not show up as they don't really like this kind of beer-drinking, card-playing party. Solas is probably a loner. Leli is a cold-blooded killer if you steeled her. And Vivienne simply would not step into the tavern at all.

Well, the Blackwall dialogue is about Diamondback rather than Wicked Grace but I imagine it holds true for Wicked Grace as well. He picks it up too quickly and then beats the pants off everyone. Literally.

 

Blackwall: Don't play Diamondback with Solas. You've been warned. Taught him the game last night, he turned around and beat me at it! Lost everything! Had to walk back to my quarters with only a bucket for my bits.

Solas and Leliana were off doing it, cut content. This is one of the things Gaider said would break fans hearts if everything written was in the game.

[zambingo]

Or not.

[BraveVesperia]

Solas plays card games with Blackwall, according to the banter. But perhaps he's not interesting in doing it in a large group? Or maybe Varric just didn't invite him. 

 

Leliana's a workaholic, so she's not going to do anything that doesn't involve spymaster stuff. She also seems to be trying to maintain an aloof air.

 

Vivienne would probably consider it beneath her.

[Urzon]

You have to break out the TCGs for Solas to get interested.

I'd argue that Josephine playing proves your wrong since she is a master of The Game, but she does end up cleaning everyone else out unless you romance her(in which case I think she lets you win) so you're probably right. 

[Dulas]

Cassandra also skips the game if you have low enough approval with her. I'd guess that goes for all the characters involved.

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

Solas had an appointment in the Fade he couldn't postpone. Vivienne believes such a thing is beneath her. Leliana had an influx of reports she had to deal with.

[Toasted Llama]

My first Quizzy was BFFs with Viv and she didn't join, so nah.

And Curly and Josie have no such thing as an approval system, so they will most likely join regardless. (maybe that's why Curly loses from Josie? Cause they're guaranteed to be playing?)

[Fredward]

The others wouldn't be able to match their stakes.

[Jaison1986]

Solas didn't join because he can't get drunk. Otherwise he could have done something potentially stupid, like this:

^^I'd pay to see that!

I am really curious about this scene because I didn't get this card-game/party on my play through.  It fits for the type of Inquisitor I was playing - but I'm curious what I didn't do that made the game skip the scene.

[Al Foley]

The look on Cass's face.

I believe it's the final part of Varric's personal quest. That, or it might have to deal with his approval.

[Ashaantha]

I think party members (not advisors) who attend seem to be based on approval, I always have Dorian, Blackwall and Iron Bull are present in all my playthroughs however. Cassandra is sometimes there sometimes not, from what I recall her presence depends if you finished Guilty Pleasures or not (her personal quest). Curly and Josie are always present. Sera is sometimes drunk under the table, not sure if her appearance is approval/quest or not.

 

Leliana, Vivienne and Solas seem to be above these things. Lel probably being too busy and Varric not brave enough to talk her into it. He talks Curly and Josie into it.

After you complete his personal Bianca quest and have high enough approval you just chat to him and the cutscene starts.

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

I notice it generally requires you to finish Varric's "Seeing Red" quest if that hasn't been done after you do the Bianca quest.

So THAT'S who was meant to be in that empty seat.
