You can only romance Solas if you’re a female elf, a measured decision by writer Patrick Weekes to avoid perpetuating the ‘depraved bisexual’ trope. In Thedas, however, this sort of thinking is an act of rebellion.
To us, he sounds about as dangerous as a first-year politics student after too many jagerbombs. He believes in “cause and effect, wisdom as its own reward, and the inherent right of all free-willed people to exist”. Solas, meanwhile, presents himself as a rationalist, convinced these reductionist worldviews lead to conflict and disaster. It’s like Twitter, but with giant spiders. Dragon Age presents us with a world of absolutes: elves and humans are in a cycle of constant conflict the Chantry hate apostates apostates hate the Chantry the Tevinter Imperium basically hates everyone who isn’t from Tevinter.
