Just after playing Origins, I loved Logain, but after reading this book, it shows how interestingly complex his character is.
You had the exact opposite reaction from me. I played DAO/DAA first (several times) and then I learned of the novels. I read both novels before DA2 was released.
Regarding Loghain, I couldn't stand him in the game. I feel that some opportunities of humanizing the man were not taken, especially after having read the novels. However, some of his lines from the game are more significant after having read the novels. I liked him quite a bit during the readings and thought that he was a good contrast for Maric.
However, the overwhelming feeling I get constantly when thinking about the novels is that I wish I could show them to Alistair, so he could know the kind of man his father was. Maric was a good man, and I believe he might have made a good king if he hadn't been so overwhelmed by his personal issues (which he was certainly aware of). I see the same strengths in Alistair, which is why I choose to make him king in all of my playthroughs. The strength is there, even if he doesn't see it himself.
I'm quite excited for the next one XD.
I should've clarified myself better. I loved Logain as a villian is what I meant. I felt like he could make a really good villain, but that the book showed in many ways he was just a flawed man trying to do the right thing is a sorta jacked up way. So yeah, I'm right with ya.
