...for creating this Ferelden adventure  It really grows on you.

*Spoiler* In my opinion, General Logain is one of THE best depicted characters ever portrayed in a fantasy game

Why? I have to compare him with Faramir in the Lord of the Rings to give you my answer.

Where Faramir is a loyal sheep herding the elite troops of Gondor into a disastrous ambush, following an order from his father he knows means certain death to all his troops, he COULD have saved the majority of the elite troops by breaking north and meeting up with the (hopefully) advancing Rohan army....

Do you get my point?  Wonderful. Loghain is everything Faramir should have been. Not a brainless drone. He saved the majoryty of his army instead of wasting it all in an utterly futile battle, he knew he would lose it all the time. And Cailan refused to listen. EPIC  

Haha  Thank you Bioware

What, how dare you insulting Faramir like this?!

;P

[steinsopp]

Oh, but I don't mock Faramir. I mock loyalty without thought, I mock blind devotion.

Open your arms wide or shut them too tight, either way, ones a fool.

The game successfully picks elements from classics like 'Beowulf' and for that matter the Heimskringle. There is vikings frolicking in forests with Elves, uh, okay they borrow something from Tolkien too. But then again, everybody does.

The end product? Just smashing. Just smashing fun.

So, again, Thank you Bioware.

Agreed.

DA:O is truly a great game, a labour of love, a piece of art and a reasonably enjoyable story.

To me it's a game worth my loyalty as a customer, and it sits on a particular shelf I have in my office with PlaneScape Torment, Baldur's Gate II and Fallout 3 among other games.

Shame he got so clouded by paranoia, and that Alistar couldn't forgive.

*spoiler* well, in 'Return to Ostagar' it is heavily insinuated that King Cailan was having an affair with the Orlesian queen....furhtermore, given that the marriage between Cailan and Anora was somewhat, uh, unfruitful pup wise, the poor man must have been utterly torn between his loyalty to the crown, the personal disgrace of seeing his daughter being cheated on and....his fear of having a king fraternizing with the enemy he fought so hard to free ferelden from....

Finally, when Cailan refuses to listen to reason at Ostagar Logain simply...discard Cailan as a lost cause and the darkspawn become a means of removing a threat to Ferelden.

Can't say I blame him, really

A complex character, a great story, and a great game.
