The Blanketfort (crying and throwing up) - The Official Solas Thread [Spoilers]

I don't think that's a fair judgement of his choice not to divulge the whole truth to the Inquisitor. Wanting to keep the darker aspects of yourself from a loved one, while ultimately it may be selfish, doesn't mean you don't genuinely love them. It's just one of those stupid story contrivances. And even Solas choosing duty over his love doesn't make the love less. I would say that Solas doesn't want to share the whole truth with the Inquisitor partly because he doesn't want them to give the fuel to change his mind, but mostly because he's ashamed. Does that mean he really doesn't love Lavellan? Because he doesn't want her to see the worst of him? The lack of respect thing, I could see a better argument for, but only in his leaving the Inquisition originally without giving the Inquisitor any notice or goodbye, but not because he refuses to tell the Inquisitor exactly how he's going to destroy modern Thedas.

And for elf Inquisitors that want to help Solas, or think they might want to help him, I think Solas would always refuse the help, because he thinks what he's doing is monstrous, so why would he want to see someone he cares about helping him commit such a terrible act?



I don't know if I would say Solas sees Lavellan as a lesser being, because that sounds really awful and it would give their relationship an ick factor, but he obviously sees his way and his culture as superior.
