If solas time travels its assumed he would die saving the inquisitor

Based on trespasser
1) how much could solas have prevented after the inquisitor vanished
2) could he have stopped the demons and the throne room scene (everyone dies but quizzy/dorrian)

Why do you assume he would die saving the Inquisitor if he could go back in time? What would he be saving them from? If anything, he would try to prevent his whole screw up in giving the orb to Corypheus in the first place and perhaps have a little more patience that you'd expect from a being several millennia old.

 

The whole thing with the Inquisitor was a complete accident that managed to prevent total disaster from unfolding. The Inquisitor just happens to stumble upon the ritual Corypheus is performing on the Divine, who knocks the orb out of his hand, which is then picked up by the Inquisitor. That accident was the only damn thing that prevented Solas's plan from being even more of a colossal failure. He had nothing to do with that accidental happening, which turned out pretty well considering the circumstances.

the inquisitor time travels to future. There your companions die saving you (solas as well)
Based on what we now know of Solas
1) how much could he have prevented without quizzy
2) would he have died in the thone room

This is the hushed whispers scenario

I'm not quite sure what you are asking here since Solas never time travels.  He just stays in the same time zone and it is the Inquisitor and Dorian who are bumped forward a year.   If Solas is in your party he apparently does nothing significant.   He is imprisoned along with all the rest of the companions, gets sick from red lyrium and then helps protect you, whilst Dorian works the amulet.    Back in the present Solas is even sceptical that you did travel in time and suggests it could have been a trick of the Fade (which actually would have made for a much more plausible explanation of what occurred).    

 

If Solas had, say, grabbed the amulet from Alexius and tried turning back time himself, he would encounter the same problem as Alexius, namely the power to accomplish this came from the breach and thus it is impossible to go back further in time.   So Solas time travelling would accomplish nothing that he had not already achieved by joining the Inquisition.

 

Corypheus wanted Alexius to rewind time to just before the Inquisitor arrived to rescue the Divine, so he could prevent it.   Alexius actually wanted to go back in time to before Felix was hurt.    Of course, if either of them had managed this, it would have changed events subsequently.   For example, if Alexius had managed to prevent the attack on Felix or save him from being hurt, he would never have joined the Venatori, so he would not be around to intervene with Fiona and the rebel mages and would not have sent the Inquisitor into the future.   However, Corypheus would still have attended the Conclave and the Inquisitor would still have the anchor.   Presumably, if you went to Redcliffe at Fiona's invitation, she would simply have agreed to working with you, having established under what conditions first, and then Corypheus would have attacked Haven as in the game.   If Alexius had managed to turn back time for Corypheus to just before the explosion, that would be no guarantee anything would be different since Cory in the past was not aware of what was about to occur.   If Cory from the present had been sent back to replace him that could have affected the way things played out but not necessarily as Cory wished.  

 

The whole problem with time travel are these paradoxes that can occur if you try to change events.   The only way it would work is to start a completely new time line otherwise the circumstances for going back in time may not longer be present in the old time line, so you would never be around to travel back.   We already have an example of the time paradox in the plot in game.   Alexius turns back time in Redcliffe (but not apparently elsewhere), so Fiona travels to Val Royeaux and you meet her, then he turns back time so she never travels to Val Royeaux, so does not remember meeting you but the meeting still took place.   This is actually a load of hokum.   Turning back time in one localised area, whilst the rest of the world remains the same is absurd.   By turning back time in Redcliffe, he established a new time line in which Fiona never invited the Inquisitor to come to Redcliffe.  

 

It is interesting to note that Alexius in the present was not even aware that his spell had worked.   Dorian brings you back to the point that you left, so Alexius thinks it failed.   However, if the Inquisitor elects to execute Alexius, they can make some comment about how they will now have the opportunity to kill him again.   Alexius suddenly realises they must be referring to another moment in time and says "You mean that it worked?"   Rather sad and ironic really that he only discovers this at the moment he is condemned to die

Ok my
Mistake on the wording
On solas

My realquestion is based on how powerful solas really is how much of a difference should he have made

1) would he die in the throne room battle

2) once quizxy disapears would solas have been a more powerful foe against
Cory?

How poweful is solas?

Bad future Solas is powerless. He would die easily.
