Dragon Age: The Veilguard's big bad isn't bald due to hereditary hair loss, his age, or a stylistic choice: "Solas lost hair because of stress"

Dragon Age: The Veilguard's main baddie and Inquisition's major party member Solas is bald. That's no big deal - it suits his regal look. Most fans just assumed it was because of the fact he's, like, thousands of years old, but the game's co-director has now confirmed that he lost his hair due to the immense stress of trying to bring down the Veil and seemingly ruin the world.

During a recent Reddit Q&A with The Veilguard's directors, most fans seized the chance to ask about the state of Thedas, the implications of the game's ending, and all the things that might have been included in the DLC we're not getting. Of course, the internet also did what it does best (dig up nonsense) and one fan was nosey enough to ask about Solas' hair loss.
