And so what would you have him do? Have a defeatist attitude and say he can't do it and screw it?
Find out who is the bigger threat. Can't be too hard to get an impression over the course of several months. One good look at Lothering should have been enough. Make a choice, a hard one, like giving in to his daughter or Teagan and accept that Ferelden might not be saved from both threats. Decide if he would prefer his country re-occupied or whiped off the map.
He refused to make this choice until the moment it was taken off his hands.
Some general he is.
Negotiations were not possible if Loghain was carrying about his heavy handed methods. It would have required Anora to plot behind his back and that returns us back to square one. There was no alternative to Loghain.
Sure, there was. Of course, no one else had the Hero of River Dane thing going for them but no one is born that way. Before the occupation Loghain was a mere farmer's son himself. Do you think no one else in Ferelden is at least promising?
What intelligence about Orlais should be gathered other than the 4 legions of Chevaliers amassing at the border?
You want her to send spies to the imperial court to somehow find out what Celene is thinking? Yes, that';s implausible.
Why? Celene obviously genuinely prepared for fighting a Blight, not invading Ferelden. You'd think there would be some kind of evidence, hints,
Gather intelligence about the blight how? What good would that do?
Send scouts to Ostagar or Lothering, find proof that this is a Blight, so she might convince Daddy to stop acting like a lunatic.
The only thing is (and it amuses me to no end) without Loghain screwing up so beautifully the Blight might have been a lot longer. I'm not going to credit him for that, though.
