I thought it might be fun to see how people dealt with the final choice in the game - Solas! What did you do with him? Do you as a player hate him as a character and went for the more punishing ending, or did you roleplay your Rook and dealt with him accordingly? Did you pity him? Or did you romance him with a Lavellan and tried to redeem him?
In my first run, I went with the redemption arc. I'm a sucker for redemption at times, even if Solas didn't really deserve it after everything he has done (my personal viewpoint). But my Rook is a mage and has been rejected for what he is in the past by the people closest to him, so he tries to be open-minded about second chances, something he has been given as well by joining the Grey Wardens. He saw Solas still means a lot to Inquisitor Lavellan and saw there was good in him - once at least. Although my Rook didn't trust a thing coming out of Solas's mouth, he saw Solas was trapped in regret and was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Quite a cheesy ending, but I loved it considering my Rook fights the Blight as a Warden and Solas offers to soothe it. I was pretty satisfied with that
Edit: Ugh, of course I got the poll wrong! Ignore the first entry

Tricking him was very satisfying!!! Deceiving him with a knock off lyrium dagger was great, especially with the satisfaction that you've outplayed him. His pride takes a dent and then you see him being sucked away into oblivious. Loved that ending and decided to take it even though I had the Mythal statue

I redeemed him cause
- Quizzy was a friend and he didnt show up in other endings, so I want to see him again - I was soft cause Harding's death - I remembered a talk Davrin (husband) and I had with the grey wardens about having second chances
but this game truly made me despise Solas lmao he got more interesting as character but I dont like him at all as person. Also the fact Solevans (i dont even know the ship name sorry lol) gets a happy ending with an extra romance scene whilst other romances get a fkring letter just awakes the salty monster in me haha

Trick, 100% I was angry that Bioware limited my choices so much so settled on playing a Rook that would be as shitty to him as possible. Was then frustrated with having to actually seek him out, thought he'd be forcing himself in Rook's head and I'd get to hang up the phone, instead it was hard written that I'd actually ask him for help. So aggravating. Got his "respect" whatever that even means in a game where he's hardwritten to call you an idiot lamb he prepped for slaughter. I hadn't known doing all the Mythal crap would get me access to the redeem ending, so it was an option I could choose. Blind, I still chose to trick him. I reloaded to see the other two options. Tricking him is the only ending I'll accept as both true to me and true to Solas being a horse's ass who doesn't deserve redemption. I loved that line, "I'm a fool." Finally. It took two whole games to get you to say that. Now go away forever, thanks.
That said, I also kinda like the ending where Rook dies because of what they say mockingly at Solas regarding leadership qualities. yum.

I tricked him on my first run, which was literally the most satisfying scene in any Dragon Age game for me. Especially the part where he said he'd taught me too well and Rook can respond 'no, Varric taught me.'
Second Rook punched him, which is also good but not quite as good as tricking him for me.
I guess third run will be redeem since I'm going to use my Solas romance world state for that, but I can't say I'm especially looking forward to it. I think he's more interesting as a villain and don't see any reason for Rook to think they can talk him out of his plan after he stabbed them in the back again.

I actually thought I was going to trick him...but then I had the essence of Mythal and thought, fuck it. Let's see how this plays out.

I took the trick him option. I had the Mythal fragment and the Inquisitor was a friend, but Rook had no reason to like or trust Solas with anything by that point. Solas' memories show him sacrificing his own people to achieve his goals. To quote Crowley: "If that's what he thinks of them; what must he think of us?"

I chose to redeem him my first time. Much as I wanted to see him suffer, I/Rook decided to do what I think Varric would have wanted, and I had Mythal's essence, so I gave it a shot.
This time, I'm playing with a Solavellan Inquisitor, so I'll just have to see what my options are. (Please don't tell me. I'm trying to stay as unspoiled as possible.) I look forward to tricking him on some future playthrough, though. I hate him so much.

media1.tenor.com/m/nGnREusyK9sAAAAd/obama-speech.gifPeople of Thedas, heed my word. What can change the nature of man? Certainly not wholesale murder.We believe the good in Thedas and its people, that everyone has the potential to be the Warden that ends the fifth blight. Solas is just deranged "God" just like Ghilan'nain and Elgar'nan - they think they alone can solve all of our problem, the audacity of these gods. Redeem Solas? people of thedas, what of your dead mother, sisters, brothers, families that murdered because of his action? Are they not deserve the same chance of redemption? A chance that has been robbed from them by a Deranged God! These gods are false, petty, and unworthy of our love.People of Thedas, we must bury Solas alive in the Veil as we bury his false gods bretheren. Vote for TRICK or FIGHT solas, and push Sollavelan (BALDSPAWN) back to the Deep Roads (Cave)!!!!!!!

I picked the redemptive option because I RPed my Inquisitor as Thedas' most forgiving woman (I mean, she romanced Blackwall, I had to commit) and figured that was the option that made the most sense for finishing that whole storyline.
I do want to see the tricking him ending though because I think that will be extremely satisfying.

1st play-through redeemed him, I had imported my romanced inquisitor so had Rook choose choices that would see them reunited and Solas redeemed.
But after seeing everything Solas has done, every play-through following will be either trick or fight. He’s gone way too far, his actions prove he’s undoubtedly a villain in my eyes by the end of the game. Particularly from Rook’s perspective. Solas caused thousands to die, killed his mentor, manipulated his mind with blood magic, and tried to trap him in the fade.
Locked in the fade prison is a pretty lenient outcome all things considered.

I had all options at the end. And I stabbed him. After what he did to Varric, I would have turned him into red paste if the game let me.

I also had the Mythal fragment on my first run, and an Inquisitor who wanted to redeem him.
You know what finally pushed me over the line from 'well, I guess I could try and talk him out of this ...' to 'THAT FUCKER IS GOING IN THE FUCKING FADE PRISON AND STAYING THERE'? It wasn't him trapping Rook in the prison so he could get out. It wasn't finding out he killed Varric and then used blood magic to cover it up. It wasn't even knowing he still wanted to bring down the Veil anddidn't care about what happened to Thedas as a result.
No, it was him trying to conceal his intentions with the same 'exact words' bullshit he constantly used on the Inquisitor and their comrades. The instant he swore that the Veil wouldn't come down by his hand, a red mist descended on me. After all of that he's still cannot deal honestly with Rook. All those thousands of years of existence, all he learned was how to be a better liar. Being outplayed and left to stew about it forever is all he deserves.

Had my Solavellan in game 1 so redeemed him. Did so again in game 2 but reloaded to watch the 'trick' ending. I prefer he helps soothe the Blight's anger - that is something likely he and no one else can do.

How do you get the 4th one? Trapped with him. I prefer trick for most playthroughs unless you got a hot mess Lavellan ready to do some redemption.

If you ignore companion and faction quests, you automatically get the fight ending. Except Solas gets the upper hand and you end up trapped with him.
