omg talk to me about Solas

[astolat]

I just finished my first Inquisition playthrough (as a female elven mage, romancing Solas). I love how this plays out with a Solas/Lavellan romance going (although I'm even more super mad about the party banter bug, however, because it's clear that I would have gotten so much more depth about Solas if I'd been hearing all his commentary. :'( I

Contrary to how I usually play Hawke, I roleplayed Lavellan a lot as if she were me (what would I have done in that situation?), and I remembered how, a few weeks ago, when I found out what kind of a person Marion Zimmer Bradley was, I had to throw away all her books. If I could, I would have burned them. And I loved those books. And yet, a couple of friends of mine didn't, saying they recognized the horror of what she had done, but that the books meant something to them, and they were able to separate those two things in their minds. Even if I respected that point of view, I couldn't truly understand it. So I realized that if it were me, I would have burned off the vallaslin from my face myself. And thus off it went.

It's unsurprising (and a bit worrying...) that the first thing that I loved about Solas was the fact that he was so fascinated by the past. It woke up the Archaeology graduate in me! "Oh please, do tell me more about ancient Elvhen practices and architecture" "we're in the middle of an apocalyptic war" "yeah yeah yeah, but what about their language? What about its ROOTS?"
