The thread is likely on step 1 of 3 to being locked. It's not productive to "prove someone wrong" on the nature of a partly released character. For all intents and purposes, many companions are Schrödinger's arsehole.
For the nature of first impressions: people who played an elf in Inquisition first tend to have a *much* better opinion of Solas. This is because he starts out extremely racist. It's legitimately his character development. People who didn't do one (1) thing Sera disliked before a first conversation will never understand how much of an unreasonable bitch she can be.
This could be a coding issue. Still, it is how strong opinions happen, mildly put. Others' first experience wasn't necessarily yours. Opinions are victim to the psychological phenomenon of "anchoring": fallacious through need of a frame of reference. The first pieces of information are weighted too highly.
