And there's this. Solas speaking of course

[robertmarilyn]

The general banter between Vivienne and Solas early in the game still cracks me up. So much snark; so little time!

Vivienne: So, an apostate?
◾ Solas: That is correct, Enchanter. I did not train in your Circle.
◾ Vivienne: Well, dear, I hope you can take care of yourself, should we encounter anything outside your experience.
◾ Solas: I will try, in my own fumbling way, to learn from how you helped seal the rifts at Haven.
◾ Solas: Ah, wait. My memory misleads me. You were not there.

 

Just yesterday I got (again) the banter between Viv and Solas, about Solas catching his clothes on fire.

 

• Vivienne: I'm sure you know exactly what you're doing, Solas, but a word of advice?
• Solas: Oh, I look forward to this. Go ahead, Enchanter.
• Vivienne: You set your coattails on fire with that last spell.
• Solas: Perhaps what you perceived was merely a figment of the Fade.
• Vivienne: (Laughter) I would not claim your familiarity with the Fade, but I recognize fire when I see it, darling.
• Solas: It did go out eventually. It was not worth mentioning.
• Vivienne: Not for you, perhaps.

I love that dialogue so much. Especially how he says his last line. GDL is a master VA~

I used to believe it was an honest mistake, a way to humble him a bit, but now....I'd like to think he did it on purpose. Her seeing exactly what she expects to see, an untrained apostate, to throw her off.

Listening to the one with Bull about how Solas isn't flashy and his enemies never see him coming, just reinforces that for me.

I think Vivienne , without really knowing it owed Solas a few times.

 

• Vivienne: So, apostate. If the Circle is such a failure, what would be your solution? Would you have your fellow mages live among the people, unguarded, unwatched?
• Solas: Yes.
• Vivienne: And when they became possessed, or use their power to harm?
• Solas: I would kill them. Magic is more elegant than a blade or a bow, but a murderer remains a murderer.
• Vivienne: So you alone would pass judgment, repay murder with murder, or do we open this up to mobs and vigilantes? If you're going to dispense judgment upon violent mages yourself, you'll need eternal life and omniscience. If only there were individuals dedicated to finding and eliminating such criminals. Perhaps they might help?
• Solas: I am certain they would. Until black and white distinctions perverted their simple minds.

"I would kill them " from the man who had to sacrifice the nature of the world and his people to get rid of seven very powerful mages.I mean ...talk about not learning anything from the past.

 

Then Vivienne ask him if he should be the one , judge and executor and he basically replies you can't trust anyone else to do it because except for him it seems everyone is too simple minded to come up with a solution.

Never let the community decide for itself ,mmmm?

 

• Solas: Do enjoy this time, Enchanter. You may miss your freedom when you lock yourself back up in some tower.
• Vivienne: Imprisonment is largely a matter of who holds the keys.
• Solas: You so often come out on top. You play the political games brilliantly.
• Vivienne: A compliment? Although you speak it as a curse.
• Solas: You could use those skills to improve the lives of your fellow mages. Instead you have done nothing, save consolidate your own power.
• Vivienne: What if keeping my power might in fact improve the lives of my fellow mages?
• Solas: You honestly believe the world is better off with you setting its course?
• Vivienne: I need not be in spotlight. But after watching others try and fail, why should I not have a turn?
• Solas: Then Enchanter, I leave you with the greatest curse of my people. Dirthara-ma.
• Vivienne: What rustic elven curse is that, apostate?
• Solas: May you learn.

Yes Solas , Vivienne believes her making choices for everyone is the best , just like you.Now kiss you two you have so much in common.

I liked Solas much better when I thought he was very intelligent. Now I realize he may have intelligence in certain areas but at the same time, he's so dumb when it comes to realizing that he does NOT know everything. It is ridiculous how callous he is towards the lives of anyone but his chosen few.

I just remembered one i got in the Hinterlands, with the wolves

 

Solas: The Breach may have driven them mad...or perhaps a demon took command of the pack

Cole: Do you know a lot about wolves?

Solas: I know they are intelligent, practical creatures that small minded fools think of as terrible beasts.

Change in emphasis mine, and I think it kinda changes the point of the conversation, too.  Vivienne's point isn't affirming Solas' question, she's basically presenting her sense of entitlement, without a care towards taking responsibility for her actions.  Solas, having become responsible for what he considers to be a great tragedy, is telling her off for not considering the consequences of her actions.

Oh lawd, of course he's called Pride.

Intelligence and practicality don't seem to be his biggest virtues hah
