what makes me saddest about da4's treatment of Solas is how they chopped his arc in half, they made him soooo physically alone, when canonically he was surrounded by agents and people helping him fight for his cause. it cheapens his mission and makes him look like some crazy loner loser asshole, when the entire time he was trying to help the elves - and thousands of elves would have been on his side in that mission.
"i have people, Seeker" - he's had people (both physical and nonphysical) supporting him for thousands of years. freeing the elves from slavery and oppression is his thing. he only pretends to be alone in inquisition, where we see more of Solas and less of Fen'harel, because yeah, Solas is lonely, despite Fen'harel having support, and being some nobody suited Solas's intentions in inquisition. in DAI when we meet him, he just recently killed one of his oldest friends in cold blood. that's not the action of somebody who has a dearth of supporters, but it is the action of an out-of-touch leader who thinks his way is the only way and he will bulldoze anyone in his way to get there, no matter the cost to them (the action of a person who feels trapped by circumstance).
it's like they thought the players are so stupid that we wouldn't be able to see how lonely and sad and emotionally isolated and tortured solas was if he was surrounded by agents and armies. and yeah sure, some small amt of people might need hand holding like that, but most of them are not playing dragon age.
