I had this exact same problem. For me, it turned out that the Dorian in Black mod was responsible. The author is trying to fix it, but nothing so far. But when I rebuilt my mod patch without that one, Solas & the apothecary came right back. Hope this helps.
This game doesn't really like mods, which is why I never installed one. I used a few in the first game, such as 'Skip the Fade', but fortunately DAI doesn't have any segments that are unbearably long. 🙂
I get this at Skyhold a lot.
No people. No furniture. Nothing in the Undercroft.
It happens with my GTX 960 and 970.
Only thing I can do is save in place and reload that save.
I have noticed that the more saves I get and the more completed games I get...the worse it gets.
Might go through today and delete a bunch of older games saves.
@mckrackin5324 DAI is limited on the number of saves it can have. I copy my saves to another folder, one I created on my external hard drive and, name each subfolder for the Inquisitor those saves are. Once I finish one character, or decide to move to another, I delete the originals of the copied saves. I can move them back in to the DAI Save folder later if I want to play that Inquisitor again. Haven't seen the half gone Skyhold glitch since I started doing that. I did see it a couple of times before that so, you might be right that the number of files in the Save folder affects that glitch.
