Surely Solas has always wanted to remove the Anchor, but it's because he didn't want anyone to use his power longer than was necessary. Maybe if he respected\liked\loved Inquisitor he wanted to save them, but if he didn't care about Inquisitor, then saving them made no sense.
He talks about how his\her death is unnecessary, but really, what would Inquisitor's death change? Inquisition is disbanded or leashed to the Chantry, it's power and influence mostly gone. With most rifts closed and two years of dealing with aftermath of war with Corypheus, Inquisitor is no longer needed.
Of course, Inquisitor's death would shake the Exalted Council a bit, but in the end it would make things easier.
So, what was the point of saving the Inquisitor?
Maybe Solas still needs Inquisitor for something (even if he or she will fight him). But why risk everything by saying too much to the Inquisitor? It would be much easier to just let them die and say nothing of his plan. It's as if he wanted Inquisitor to stop him at some point. Or some small part of him believes that Inquisitor will do something that will help this world survive tearing down the Veil.
Or maybe he just wanted to talk\felt guilty about leaving everyone in the dark and saved Inquisitor out of his good heart. But that seems unlikely... at least to me.
I think it's safe to assume that Solas' way of solving problems is by using people- the whole plot of Trespasser is built on that. The dead qunari dragged through Eluvian to involve Inquisition in discovering their plans. The fight was mostly between Inquisitor and qunari, Solas helped but still it was the Inquisitor that did most of the fighting. Even the whole Inquisition plot was some other people cleaning mess that Solas made.
It seems he wants the Inquisitor to fight him. But why? Why in a scenario where he hates Inquisitor and thinks he's a complete fool that doesn't deserve his respect?
Inquisitor who made all the decisions that went against everything that Solas believed in? Surely he wouldn't want that Inquisitor to succeed?
It might be his pride though, he doesn't believe that Inquisitor would be able to stop him. But then again, what's the point?
Now, maybe, just maybe, at some point the Inquisitor will realize that he has been tricked once again and all his efforts to stop Solas were meant to achieve another goal, but what would that be I have no idea. Or maybe I have a few ideas, but they don't make much sense right now.
God, I'm doomed, I will think about it almost everyday until the next DA comes out...Am I crazy?
