Dragon Age: Spoiler free

[Grallon]

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.

I don't see what you find so remarkable about the man.  He's run-of-the-mill because we've seen this happen countless times in any number of stories.

Whereas Morrigan is a mystery.  If you read the lore there's a reference to a chasind sorceress called Morighana who lived centuries before the events in the game.  For all we know Morrigan is the one sucking the life out of young girls - not Flemeth.  In fact the old Flemeth we kill seemed highly amused by the idea of truth in that particular case.  And there's also the fact that Morrigan suddenly knows how to conduct the ritual mentioned at the endgame.

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

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

Countless times?  Who exactly?  The only figure who comes to mind is Henri Petain.

You don't have to convince me Morrighan is interesting I already agree with you on that.

Loghain was the most brilliant character in Dragon Age.

I viewed him as a war hero willing to do quite anything for his country, even kill its king. I honestly think he saw the Orlesians as a bigger threat than the Darkspawn and has an obsessive paranoia about them.

The FACT the game can end the way it does in regards to Loghain do not mesh well with the model of a power hungry tyrant wanting to seize power. He is simply 100% made of amazing winness and really shines next to a boring tired character like Morrigan or Leliana. Or especially Alistair.

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

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.

Simon Templeman is a stupendous badass, it's true.

I got a free Shale. Is he any good?

She is pretty good yeah.

Best used against enemies with elemental attacks with the appropriate crystal.

Morrigan is just a bitch.  That's not crazy or very interesting.

Alistair: Ah, so the last lamb you had was probably cooked Orlesian style. Food shouldn't be frilly and pretentious like that. Now here in Ferelden, we do things right. We take our ingredients, throw them into the largest pot we can find, and cook them for as long as possible until everything is a uniform grey color. As soon as it looks completely bland and unappetizing, that's when I know it's done.
Leliana: You're having me on.
Alistair: (Laughs) You need to eat in more Fereldan inns.

Something tells me this actual conversation has happened a lot between Englishmen and Frenchwomen.

I keep trying to save everyone in RedCliffe.  Someone is dying and I don't know who.

Probably the bartender.  That bastard kept running out beyond the barricades when I was fighting.  Had to keep saving his ass.

Not sure why you'd want to save that one.  I saw him dieing when he ran out and let him.

I'm going to be fucking pissed if Leliana isn't a companion in the expansion.  Why can't games have continuing relationships anymore?  BG2:ToB did.  And it was great.
