Once I knew for certain who he was, and particularly after his confession in Trespasser, I've rather enjoyed spotting every occasion when you no longer have to think he may be hiding something but you know for certain that he is being evasive, misleading or his conversation is highly ironic.
Whilst I always get on well with Solas, so have never even got near punching him, I find it amusing to think how much the Inquisitor is playing with fire if they do. Then they continue to goad him in Trespasser and yet he still saves them. Just goes to show he is right and if you really do have power, you have no need to flaunt it.

My personal favorite has to be the one after everyone suddenly breaks out in song. Solas just wrinkles his nose at everyone and does this sexy stroll towards the veilfire.
Dem hips do not lie.

I never understood the pleasure some players have taken about slapping or otherwise getting physically violent with companions. I've had characters dislike or even hate companions but I've never taken any options to hit them. <shrug> To each their own though. The "Slap Morrigan" mod from DA:O was still in the Top 10 for the game last I checked. I'm not judging anyone at all. I'm not going to get upset if they smack around pixels in a video game. A bit of a darker moment I liked was at the end of All New, Faded For Her. I've stopped Solas from killing the idiotic mages before, but I don't on most of my characters. It's another moment where that polite and cool control is broken. He looks outraged in a way he doesn't in most of the game. Besides, those jerks earned it. Also, watching him and Morrigan snark at each other at the Temple of Mythal. It brought out a more immature side to Morrigan (reminded me of DA:O) that was fun to see. Solas was once again allowed the ultra-polite persona to drop and dished it out as hard as he can take it. When he calls Morrigan a witch (which is pretty much her title,) I think he really wanted to call her a bitch instead. I guess most of my favorite moments involving Solas are when he isn't acting like the polite and helpful houseguest. They are when he's actually allowing parts of his real personality come to the surface. Not all of them are dark though; I love the way he grabs and kisses a romanced elf during the Haven Fade dream.

Only time I ever punched anyone is Gerrel in ME3, I don't enjoy much killing or hitting companions either, but honestly, I'm surprised that there's no more mentions of the punch or the perspective of killing him in the future And, btw, I never got low aprroval with him in any on my pt (I started one that should have led me to it,but I was hating my Inquisitor so much that after seeing how "champions of the just" played I abandoned it), so I only saw the dialogues recently, youtubing them, and I have to say that I love Solas in them. Mean Solas is great. I love his reaction to the punch especially, all the scorn he shows for the Inquisitor without losing his cool. I magine that for the player that punches him because hates the character is very satisfactory doing so, but for me Solas is the undisputable winner in that confrontation.
I love that Solas is always very polite and calmed, it makes him look kind and a little distant, and I like both things but a nice consequence of this, I agree, is that it makes it even more interesting when for some reason he reacts ina more emotional way, not always in dark way, I agree with that too. I like much more the scene with him if you drink from the well and he's angry, for instance. I tend to agree with him in most of the important choices, but if I have the chance to do or say something that makes him react strongly, without it being ouf of character for my Inquisitor, I always do. I always let him killed them too, but I always let every companion get revenge if they want to, my canon PCs never stopped any of them (Solas.-mages, Varric-Bartrand, Garrus-Sidonis, Alistair-Loghain, Fenris-his sister) I don't know if I'm leaving anyone)

I have to say I love how the animators did his subtle animations, the one's where he looks off to the side briefly in thought or where he simply scans his eyes downward before looking back up. Small moments that really added to his person. I was quite impressed and enjoyed seeing them. Also, loved how he asks the Inquisitor to dance with him at the ball. I was surprised he'd be so into that, honestly, or the bit about enjoying the "heavy blend of power, intrique, danger, and sex that permeates these events". My jaw hit the floor on that one. Of course, I was still thinking of him as a the guy who lived apart from the world. I thought he'd hate the ball, but Solas has a fiery soul in him that I didn't expect going into the game which I actually enjoyed. And how could I not add the Trespasser conversation that finished off the game. Where he explained everything and I saw a man who had convinced himself of a fight that needed to be no matter the cost. And it made me so sad .

The clipping was awful and the point at the top had me thinking of playing Paper Mario.

I played my Solas romance playthrough on the 360 and I didn't see the clip that hung down around his nose. I didn't really have a problem with his hat, then. Wasn't particularly fond of it but I didn't find it appalling like some people on the net. Seeing the clip on the ps4, though, made it look a lot less tasteful. However, still didn't see it the way some did. (Not gonna say what some people thought it looked like because it's not something you want to remember when playing a romance with the guy. )

I think it looks a lot worse. I just unhelpfully fixated on the hat and the clipping especially (the hat point I could ignore, but I found the metal nose border distracting as he's telling my Lavellan to come dance with him). Amusingly, I looked at so much fan art with Solas without the hat, and my headcanon of no hat was so effective that it was an all new shock and atrocity when I played through it again.

I didn't see the clip until I upgraded. Honestly, Solas could wear any ridiculous hat and I'd still melt with his request. Though now my mind is flipping through scenarios of that scene with Solas in new odd hats. I swear, one's a bright orange and yellow fruit hat.... now I'm hungry .

Thank fuck for the mod that removes the hat. I don't hate it (love how he's trolling Orlais with it), I hate how horribly it clips through his face.

My favorite Solas moment is the part when you first meet Varric and Solas and I had my dalish inquisitor ask Varric if he was with the chantry and Solas has this little chuckle and says "was that a serious question?"
That was legit the moment I decided to romance the character.. little did I know..
of course, by the veilfire walk I was doomed..

I loved his chess banter with Bull, and the dream sequence - his "where did you think we were?" is so cheeky. His early flirts in Haven were very smooth, and I love some of the debates he gets into with Varric and Sera about the past and present. That moment when he called my entire race inferior dullards and said I was kinda half decent in comparison. Warmed the cockles of my heart. That too. The balcony scene where Solas definitely became a racist grandpa... or the punching scene where he expresses the same sentiment ("I thought you all thuggish, simple, and crude and I was right!!").

I thought there was some good dialogue between the two showing their keen intellect. For anyone who would like to listen to the chess match between Solas and Bull:

When he flubs about having seen court intrigue, blah, blah, blah and the Quizzy catches him in a lie. Only time in the game I know of that asking a question gets you disapproval with Solas.
