Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

What part of spoiler free did you fuckers not understand?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz, for some reason it's a lost cause when it comes to the DA threads.  You're like the fourth person to complain, at least, and still the mob doesn't change its behavior. :mellow:

I want Loghain!  :mad:


Loghain is a traitor.  <_<

He is also by far the most interesting character in the game.

There is only one way to change the behavior of the mob.  Shotguns.

Loghain was your run-of-the-mill power hungry despot.  Morrigan is far more interesting.

Loghain was hardly your run-of-the-mill power hungry despot...he wasn't even a despot for one as his power was unofficial and solely based on his reputation for his past deeds.

That's you interpretation - mine is different.  Loghain considered he should have followed in Marec's footsteps; he positioned himself first by marrying his daughter to Marec's son - then when it became obvious Cailen would call on the orlesians to help fight the Blight, he put in motion his plan to get rid of the pesky king; Lord Eamon was poisonned before Ostagar - the Cousland of Highever were murdered before Ostagar - all through the offices of Howe - Loghain's right hand man.  After Ostagar he outlaws the Wardens, has himself proclaimed Regent and proceeds to crush the bannorns opposing him.

This to me smacks of power hunger and despotism.  But perhaps we don't have the same definition for these concepts.

How?
A great man and national liberator who ends up betraying the son of his greatest friend and companion when he asks for the assistance of the people he and his friend fought to save their nation from?  And can ultimately seek redemption?  He is Macbeth rolled in William Wallace.

That said, Morrigan was also very interesting.  I might have preferred Loghain's voice acting though; one of my favorite voice acting roles since Irenicus or Bastilla,  or almost anyone in Arcanum.

My issue was your run-of-the-mill characterization not the power hungry despot thing.  Nothing you said there makes it sound run-of-the-mill.

I mean Morrigan is a power-hungry evil wizard and that concept is hardly new no?  However her character makes that compelling never-the-less and I believe the same is true with Loghain.
