An Ideal antagonist is someone with more than 2 lines of back story you only hear about on one slightly altered path with absolutely no build up & who doesn't use one of the stupidest, unexplained plot devices in all of writing "evil statue made me do it!" Then give them a rival who doesn't appear out of practically no where, who doesn't have any back story at all, and isn't a homicidal hypocrite whether you side with him or not.
Loghan & Eamon worked caused you knew about them from early on, fleshed out their characters & the game focused on them while juggling the darkspawn disaster quite well. DA2 phenomenally failed on almost all of this and more with merrideth & orsino, yet nailed the Qunari disaster & made the Arishok a compelling antagonist, Act 3 was a waste of everyone's time & i still wonder why they bothered if they were going to half ass it so bad
