Even if he does not succeed, the man is guilty of conspiring to commit genocide of every race on Thedas.
That's not an offense you just forgive-and-forget, lol.

Redeem, of course. Solas is not an evil person, we've seen throughout the main game that he cares about people. So if we were given the chance to redeem him, without causing the destruction of the inhabitants of Thedas, I don't see why we wouldn't take it.

I chose to redeem him but if killing him is the only way to stop him my inquisitor won't hesitate.

My canon Quiz still has feelings for the guy, so she's trying to redeem him, for whatever that ends up meaning. Redeem is my personal preference as well. Solas is not a bad sort, he's a flawed but well-meaning individual caught up in thousands of years of complicated machinations we're only just beginning to understand. That said, if it can't be done it can't be done, and my Lavellan, as much as she loves him, isn't going to stand by and let him destroy her world (ooh, the DRAMA).
I'm nowhere near Trespasser in my current playthrough, but my grumpy no-nonsense Qunari warrior doesn't like Solas very much, so I'd be very surprised if she didn't swear to hunt him down in the end.

100% kill. I mean, have you ever tried to convince your crazy, kind of racist uncle that maybe Obama isn't a Muslim? I have and he's basically just a version of Solas that hasn't had a thousands extra years to get set in his ways. Don't get me wrong, I actually really like the character, but at some point you have to realize the futility of reasoning with the old man in a MAGA (Make Thedas Great Again?) hat who's yelling at kids to get off his lawn and thinks a border wall is entirely feasible.

Eee gads. The Veil is essentially a giant boarder wall between the Fade and real world. And its really super effective too.

Well, my Inquisitor might want to redeem him... but the new protagonist might not. If will depends on my character's reasons to track down Solas. If he can be talked down, okay, I'll try that, but there's a line. If his future actions prove that he's beyond redemption, he's going down.

Redeem. For now. Later, we'll see. You can't kill him at the moment. One thing what you can do: waiting, and watching. Don't need to trust him: he proved not once, the he's a good liar. When the time comes, you can kill him, or really redeem.

Honestly, the writers got me to care about him so much, yet Solas seems so far gone at the end of Trespasser, I'd feel more like a hero for redeeming/saving him from himself, than I would for saving the entire fictional world of Thedas (which I've already saved several times). If there's a way to save Loghain and Anders, I don't doubt there will be an option for Solas to live. Though he might hate the price you both end up paying for it.
I think DA4 is going to reveal that a lot of things he thinks are under his control, never were, and the same for the protagonist, whoever they end up being.

Redeem, having his knowledge would benefit Thedas greatly, he's an important character he just needs a reason to champion all of Thedas and not just the elves.

I won't hesitate to put down that wolf if my hands are tied in DA4 but I'd rather attempt to prove him wrong first. So, redeem but with the murder knife behind my back if I need it.

I've always hated that choice at the end of Trespasser because it seems so contrived. If the Inquisitor's story is really meant to be over, why ask them to decide? The daft part is that if you are kneeling there in front of a guy who can turn you to stone with a look and is the only person who can save you, why would you threaten him? If you are intending killing him you still need to survive to do so. If you want to redeem him are you really going to risk the survival of the entire world if the opportunity arose to take him down and yet you hadn't yet persuaded him of his error?
I loved Solas in the main game. He was able to say all the things to the other companions that I wanted to but wasn't allowed to do so. His regard for me seemed genuine and I respected him. We didn't see eye to eye on everything but I still thought of him as a friend.
Then to discover that the whole time he had been deceiving me was hard to take. Were any of the sentiments he expressed genuine? It was something of a shock to discover that Thedas had been saved by Corypheus. I couldn't believe it when he said that we deserved better but he was still going ahead with his plan. Then when I asked why and he said he didn't want to give me too much information, I was livid. So I said I would stop him by any means possible. Whilst my Lavellan tried to be merciful when he could, it was not totally out of character. After all he allowed Celene to die for what she did to the elves in Halamshiral, then put Briala in charge of Gaspard. Mind you, he didn't feel entirely right about doing that because he could have stopped it. So a small part of him does understand where Solas is coming from; probably why he does feel so repelled by it because it does seem to be a dark reflection of himself. If he caught up with him again, he might end up trying to redeem him. It would depend on the circumstances. Which is why I feel the decision is making empty threats or promises on the basis of incomplete information and without knowing what the future might hold.
For all we know, the prison of the Evanuris might be breaking down regardless and they will bust out before he takes any action. In which case we might actually need Solas to deal with it.

Canon HF Rift Mage, who was Solas's platonic BFF, totally wants to redeem and prove him wrong. Everyone else, particularly my DF Archer Artificer who punched Solas's lights out in Skyhold, wants to tar and feather him, then hang him, then draw and quarter him, then impale him, then flay him alive, then say insulting things about his mother. Not necessarily in that order. I laughed at how specific that was. Not because I hate Solas, I like him actually, but because you reminded me of that threat Leo gave Marty in Madagascar. I tried to find that clip, but I guess Dreamworks DMCA bombs the hell out of anyone who posts their stuff on YT. So here's the script excerpt: Alex the Lion: I'm gonna kill you, Marty! Marty the Zebra: Take it easy! Take it easy! Alex the Lion: And strangle you! Marty the Zebra: Calm down! Alex the Lion: Then I'm gonna bury you, then dig you up and clone you, and kill all your clones! Marty the Zebra: 20-second time-out! Alex the Lion: And then I'm never talking to you again!

I suppose it really depends on where the story goes with this, but my gut reaction would simply be kill. The setup I'm imagining ( and prefer) is that Solas is so set in his convictions that there simply is no way to change his mind, because he's invested and sacrificed far too much to do anything else, so he essentially dies for what he believes in.

Of those two options, I chose Kill. I would prefer to have an option in between, like say imprison him in a place he can't escape, but if it is just those two I will choose kill. What he has done and what he plans to do is irredeemable.

My first Inquisitor, Cadash, chose to try show her friend he was wrong and convince him to stop. My second Inquisitor, Lavellen, vowed to stop him from destroying her world by any means necessary.
Though both would do the other were they put in the position.

So far, I had two characters do Trespasser and they both intend to redeem him. Male Mage Trevelyan always enjoyed their conversations about the Fade and matters of magic, and he always appreciated his insight and witty banters they've had. So, it makes sense that he doesn't want to lose his best friend over this.
Rogue Trevelyan considers him a mentor of sorts. He did save her life by making sure the Mark didn't kill her, he did help her find Skyhold, and, Dread Wolf or not, they *were* part of the same team once, and she wants to help him back, if she can.
I can totally see my Fem!Elf inquisitor redeeming him as well... We'll see what the others will do.

My inquisitors all called for Solas to die! I tried it once where she didn't and then I just had to reload. Yes, he helped stop Corypheus destroy the world but now he's going to do the same thing instead but a little more slowly?
My inquisitors concur that Solas is a dangerous fanatic with a bad case of nostalgia. He needs to be stopped at any cost!

Redeem. My canon Quizzy will give him a chance, the same way she gave everyone in the Inquisition a chance, though I imagine the devs will force my Lavellan to kill her friend because of their addiction to fan-tears.

I voted kill, though at the end of Trespasser (if I'm remembering correctly) it doesn't explicitly say you're going to kill him, just stop him. And most of my Inquisitors picked that one. They'll stop him, whatever the cost. What that cost is, is up to Solas, I suppose. My Dalish elf is the only one who picked the redeem option. And she has her reasons.

I'm on the stop at all costs option. But I may end up changing that if Bioware interprets it too extremely on imports. I don't want the Inquisitor/Inquisition to be all crazy and needlessly violent.
