[@notahamster333]

*Warden* : I've known some hard-ass Arishoks who loves cookies

[@menajack]

So true XD

[@aecides3203]

In the next game, I imagine a scene where the Qunari horde is about to clash with forces equating to/actually part of an Exalted March and, from among a cohort of Seekers/Templars/Inquisition Soldiers, out steps Divine Victoria/Leliana demanding an audience with the Arishok. He grants the request out of respect for his former comrade and Leliana says "Come now, there's no need for all of this - we both know you're a big softy really. Let us sit and speak of our times together while we share these cookies and 'train' a litter of kittens with some string.". At this point, a peace treaty (likely leading to a cookie and kitten shortage across Thedas) will be established, or Sten/Arishok will get grumpy and a swarm of attack Nugs will charge out of cover and tear through the hostile horde like the killer rabbit from The Holy Grail (and I don't think the Qunari have Holy Hand Grenades).

I still despise Loghain but you can really tell he has a heart when he talks about his dog and such. It's kind of sweet.

[@Lady_Experiment]

exactly. I completely agree. I still have Alistair kill him every time. what happened to his dog was extremely sad and I can understand why he hates the orlisans (totally misspelled that) but it doesn't excuse him for killing the king and Duncan. I mean when they ate planning the battle he should have just told the king that they should withdraw. not by lying and agreeing to back them up only for him to stab them in the back. I can understand the strategic retreat but then he goes on by trying to have your character and Alistair killed, poisoning arl eamon, causing turmoil and death in the mage circle, and the slave trading of the elves. there is no forgiveness of that.

[@taramaforhaikido7272]

That's because you don't understand his situation. Have you ever had to decide who lives or dies? Put your wife and daughter against the wall as someone tells you tho choose or lives or dies. If you fail to decide then both will. Loghain had to decide between the lives of his men and that of the kings. Loghain knows what he did. He makes no excues. Nor does he avoid responsability. He gives you more respect then a "nice" person hiding behind fake smiles and happy masks as the lie to your face.

[@desmondburton]

​@@taramaforhaikido7272 Deep down Loghain decided the moment Cailan even thought about accepting aid from Orlesians at Ostagar that he was going to betray him. He came up with the strategy for the battle which put him in the perfect position to leave everyone for dead while keeping most of his own forces intact. He then immediately goes to blame anything or anybody he can for what happened Ostagar besides himself. Do you not remember him blaming the whole thing on the Grey Wardens or him making excuses for everything he does saying "He is the only one who can save his country". While he proceeds to destroy his own precocious country from the inside. Even If any of his plans worked the country would have been done for as there was no way he would have gotten the other races on his side. He was willing to set his whole country ablaze to fight the ghosts of his past. In Origins he isn't some tragic hero who was forced to make tough decisions he thought were right. He is a sad bitter man driven almost mad by his own past and hides behind lies and excuses whenever he is called out about it.

***** Which is odd, because kadaan means "my heart."

[@jmmvn8]

+Kyle Vanderhoof Kadaan is used to refer to someone who you care for. It can mean 'Friend', 'love', 'good friend'. The Qunari language is very strange like that. Like their word for outsider/someone not in the Qun, 'Bas' which also means 'nothing' as in 'there's nothing here'.

[@jmmvn8]

+Paola Tutic Sadly, there isn't a Qunari Language Translator app, although that would be awesome. If you search for Qunlat on the Dragon Age Wiki, you do get a list of known words and phrases, I'm certain there's an Elven Language page too, but I haven't looked at it. According to the Wiki, the official meaning of Kadaan is literally, "Where the heart lies;" friend. An all-purpose word for a "person one cares about," including colleagues, friends and loved ones. Also means "the center of the chest."

I have a new understanding of loghain thank you

[@KamiKaze43v3r]

reading the first novel for dragon age gives you a whole new perspective of him too!

[@TheRedAzuki]

KamiKaze43v3r loghain is an incredibly written character, his hatred for Orlais, his frustration with an idiot as a leader and so on. Problem I have with him, is that he is ruthless and tried to fight the blight himself without knowing how to and almost destroyed the GreyWardens completely in Ferelden. Even if he manged to defeat the blight, Ferelden would have been weaker off due to his short-sighted actions.

[@Joram647]

TheRedAzuki It goes to show that most antagonists are not really evil at heart. Everyone believes they are doing what is best and that they are justified in whatever actions they make. Being "evil" is actually an extremely rare trait and it makes the story seem more real when the antagonist isn't portrayed that way.

[@Joram647]

Stevean2 Being a fangirl/boy is wrong? Or specifically liking Logain based on his appearance is?

I think he was serious but also suspected she might not want to go through with it. If she had then she's worthy enough to do it in his eyes. I think Sten's race might be a logical "surpess your emotions" until mating type. I swear they got the idea from vilcans in star trek.
