This is the first time I'd seen this anywhere.... Obviously my pc did not have high enough cunning to point out something I thought was fairly obvious. I kept waiting through the whole game for someone to explain how/why Loghain had been conspiring with the darkspawn, but no one ever mentioned it!
Archdemon: *ROARS*
Loghain: So, I'm planning to betray the king, want to help me?
Archdemon: *tilts head to side inquisitively*
Loghain: All your darkspawn need to do is take over a tower, and keep a couple of meddling kids from lighting a beacon
Archdemon: *roars happily*
Loghain: Yes, I know you like nice high towers
Cool thread btw, on topic:
I <3 Alistair!
This is hilarious, but all it would take is knowing that the darkspawn were in tunnels beneath the Tower of Ishal, and then having his men open it to them. No actual talking to the darkspawn needed, although they are obviously intelligent creatures.
I've thought about it a lot, and while Loghain from the books was at least somewhat relatable, I could not fathom Loghain's motivations in the game at ALL. It made no sense to spare him, never will.
Alistair, on the other hand, is someone I relate to in many ways. I tend to defer to other people in social settings, but that doesn't mean I'm a complete pushover, or don't have my own opinion. I'm just not a leader (mostly I'm a loner unless I force myself, honestly), and I'm fine with that, unless someone mistakes me for being a wimp or weak because I'm easygoing. Then I get pissy, and nobody wants to see that.
Anyway, I just wanted to remind everyone that loving Alistair is like enjoying sunshine, the laughter of babies, or kitten macros.
