I can be honest and say there is something to be said for a "villain personality" but Solas is not my type, he's the type that I went to video games to get away from... the ultimate beta (DUN DUN DUN)
He's a dime a dozen in Hollywood no need to replicate him in a media explicitly designed to offer alternatives.
I infinitely prefer the kind of up close and personal, kind of hands on controlling sort of villain that is just kind of unabashedly infatuated with power and control and stuff like that, someone that actively relishes the chance to kind of impose their will over someone and is actually semi-confident in that approach., or even better, someone who just knows they will succeed at that. Their almost just like curious and excited even, like they don't know what to expect. The uber calculating machisimo, however, is always lame.,
Most comic villains are supposedly in this direction but they are often too just aggressively sadistic to make me believe they really have that confidence and are instead just a reaction to the beta villain, almost like they're over-compensating. In many ways, I find them equally boring. There's also beta villains that seem super aware of their own shortcomings in the "failing to act" department and try to overpower you with beta-ness and make it look like action like Zaeed from ME, but are really just more betas.
Ghirahim from SS was kind off and on although sort of still too close to like a Joker stereotype at times IMHO.
I'm also not necessarily turned off by a large degree of gender ambiguity as far as that goes.
From Bioware games Valsharess was all right but once again, same thing, too much Joker. Melissan was WAY too sadistic, Sarevok I don't think you really got to know very well, Aribeth was pretty interesting but it's hard to summarize what her role really was in the end, Archdemon lol, Saren was kind of lame I thought, but like Sovereign and Harbinger were even more lame so...
