While thinking about Loghain, I just realized something about all of the horrible things he's done/allowed to happen.

Anora never stopped him!

A whole year goes by in Dragon Age and while Ferelden tears itself apart in a civil war, Anora never once stands up to her father or Howe.  As the ruling queen, she should have full authority over Loghain and Howe and be able to either force him to step down or have him arrested for starting this Civil war.

But what does she do when her father declares himself regent over her? nothing!  What does she do when a Civil War occurs? Does she try to work out a compromise or do nothing...she does nothing!  What about everything Howe's been up to?  Nothing!

At first I figured that she simply didn't know...if this game had a short time span, I could buy that...but never knowing anything about them until you arrive at the Landsmeet and doing nothing until the Landsmeet and she expects me to believe that she had no idea about what was going on? BS!

Not only that, but when you step up and possibly place up her dead husband's brother as her replacement, aka the guy who's been fighting the blight and gathering armies right alongside you, she'll backstab you unless you allow her to keep her pretty little throne!

Isn't a leader supposed to be able to stand up to stuff that is against their laws?  Even if that means going against friends and family?  Isn't a leader supposed to place her country ahead of all else? Isn't a leader supposed to be strong enough to put down dissention?  Anora does none of the following:  She lets daddy hand Ferelden over to the blight on a silver platter because of Orleisan paranoia, she lets Howe dress up as a clown and terrorize/kidnap/murder her own citizens, she lets elves be sold to the evil magic empire in the north, and still insists on your support for her bid as queen?

Cailan may have been naive and a glory-seeker, but at least he had his country at heart when he went to Ostagar.  He was thinking of how to defend his people when he tried to forge an alliance with the Empress of Orlais.  He was somewhat using common sense by immediately seeking the advice of the Grey Wardens to fight the Blight...you know, the guys who've been fighting and ending the blights since the last four times they've happened!

With Anora, I only see a spoiled little brat who acts tough and wants everyone to do things her way, but deep down is a coward to frightened to stand up to what is clearly wrong and/or stupid.

Hence the reason Anora will never have the throne to herself...at least when I have say in the matter!

Thoughts? Disagreements? Anything I might've missed? Too harsh on the girl?  Too soft?

She's the better candidate for the job, and Alistair is totally unsuited to be King at the time of the Landsmeet. I believe she's the one who makes her Father regent. As to why she does that, well she does it right after Ostagar-most likely because she's still grieving over her husband. I think she realizes later making her Father regent was a mistake, but he's the one with the armies. She really doesn't get an opportunity to take back control until she meets the Warden.

A bunch of us have been going into Anora's character, and in particular how she handles being in power (I basically took the same position you did), her decisions at the Landsmeet, and all manner of possible of conspiracy theories:

I suspect that a lot of the male players that defend Anora only do so because they're turned on by her.
