Solas
Yeah, okay, Solas is a giant douche. He completely screws you at the end of the game, and it’s hard not to go “OH WHAT THE HELL?!” at the combined dickery of the base game and the Tresspasser DLC. All that time spent with fighting, talking, and possibly romancing this guy, and what do you have to show for it? No arm and he wants to restore the elves, the rest of Thedas be damned. Swell guy, that Solas.
And yet, even taking that into consideration, he’s still a pretty cool dude. As cryptic as he is, it just makes you want to talk to him more to figure out what his deal is. Among the other mages in Inquisition, and the series in general, his power set is fun to fool around with, and he may be the most powerful yet. His banter with the other characters is fun, and his personal quest is pretty intriguing. If you can get past what a complete 180 he does at the end of the game, you’ll find yourself drawn in by his mystery. Along with that shiny dome of his.
