I am just gonna leave this here:
So God said to Noah, "I have decided to destroy all living creatures, for they have filled the earth with violence. Yes, I will wipe them all out along with the earth!
(Put Lavellan on an Elvhen Ark and we're good! 
)
J/K.. but it kinda reminded me of this..
consider the sway Feynriel seemed to have over Orlanna
Eh, she's just a young girl infatuated with someone who saved her life. If he really held sway over her, she probably would've said 'I'm going to Tevinter!' rather then 'I'm gonna go back to bed so I can see him again!'
A better example would be the sway Feynriel had over the bandits themselves, where he mindfucked them into killing each other.
But what really annoys me is he seems to genuinely love Lavellan (if romanced) but yet even if romanced SHE isn't even worth saving.
Why should one person, however loved, be weighed against the fate of the world? It is consistent that he doesn't do that, and it would make him less believable if he did.

If the entire world is broken... even weighed against the people already on Thedas, the fact that the world is fundamentally broken with the Veil in place means that I find it remarkably difficult to turn away from his plan. If there really is a better way, some way to slowly and gently take down the Veil instead of simply tearing it down, then I would support that, but if it's not... it's worth thinking about how much a future for Thedas as it should be is worth.
lol
I could see it becoming a kind of doomsday cult among the elves.
I gotta say my elven characters - who are doing everything they can to make things better for the elves - are pretty pissed off about this.

Yeah, I foresee rough waters ahead. My Lavellan will warn her clan and other elves against it, but there's going to be a lot of desperate, hopeful, and angry elves from all walks of life that will follow Solas. Of course, the place with perhaps the highest concentration of miserable elves just happens to be where we're headed next...
For the record, even if you're an elf, you're not the extra special kind of elf Solas wants to bring back. Explore his dialogue options in this conversation, and he'll tell you upfront that he doesn't see you or the current elves as people either, or worth saving. You're worth using in order to get what he wants, as the epilogue slide shows, but not worth saving.
Your brand of elven supremacy is not what Solas has in mind; you and the elves of current Thedas are the same mortal trash as any human, dwarf or qunari to him, and you'll all be destroyed too when he brings his superior branch of ~elvhen~ back. By "joining" him in his cause, all you'd be doing would be helping him destroy you and your own people faster.
I bet that the only one who will join him is Abelas and co.
I hope we get to see a real change in Thedas, in terms of the power balance between the different races. While throughout the series, some small things change, the larger world stays very stagnant. I want to see social shifts and changes, things that would happen in any real world where one set of people are repressed/in power for so long. I hope that with the next game, history sees a major lasting change for the World of Thedas, rather than the temporary power shifts before everything goes back to the same thing.

I can imagine. Probably mages, too. Never played either myself, but if I had, I'd want to rip Solas up one side and down another for that alone, for the way his actions make it worse again for "my kind".

So much for the world being forever changed, eh? It was a big disappointment how Trespasser basically rolled everything back to square one and invalidated most of what we thought we had accomplished. As I said in another thread, I'd actually like to see this setting turn from generic medieval low-magic one to a really spectacular high-fantasy one with ubiquitous magic, spirits everywhere and all. It wouldn't be a utopia, there would be an incredible chaos even if the Veil came down "gently" and the shock didn't kill everyone, but it would be something different.
Why if wardens can sacrifice themselves to stop the blight can't an elf be willing to sacrifice themselves as part of desire to restore world to its true state and elves to their true state.

It's not broken, though. It's changed.
And it is worth thinking about the future of Thedas. All those humans, elves, dwarves, and qunari, men, women and CHILDREN who would die because the Dread Wolf thinks he knows better than everyone else how things should be run.
Sounds no better than Corypheus.
