Wow...tldr but interesting...
But actually for me, Ostagar is a failure of EVERYONE, not just Cailan, Duncan, Loghain, everyone including the Chantry
Remember that Mges can turn tide of this war, but Chantry only allow 7 mages to Ostagar and one of them is a Tranquil. Remember that 3 mages doing thiongs we are not allowed to know what they are doing because Templars don't let us in...they only told that the Mages are going into the Fade, what are they doing in the Fade? We never know, and no one know..So, what is this "Mages going into the Fade" is for?
The Grand Cleric sent Alistair the Chantry boy to harass a mage....in the middle of everybody is going to war and maybe die, she do that.
Cailan is deluded by Grey Warden legend, but not forget that EVERYONE deluded by Loghain legend. Even the Grey Warden. Everybody think "because of Loghain is here, we will win, nothing to worry about", even Alistair tell us that.
The whole army is not organized, just look at the army camp, there is a prisoner who don't eat, meaning no one even care for that prisoner, that prisoner is doomed in his cage. If the warden don't find a way to give him food, the prisoner just die starving rather than die in battle.
The cleric giving preaching here and there, while the soldiers need to make preparations, training, briefing, and so on...only archers are doing training. Not to mention that the King himself having fun with soldiers, drinking and Loghain don't care for anything, not even want to talk. The battle happen in the night, but on the day, everybody jut doing things whatever they want to do....
They didn't wait for scouts to report, providing if you play as Cousland, where is Fergus? maybe they just considered dead in the wilds, but they just sent scouts without any back up followers? What kind of scouting is that? And scouts should not engage enemies, scouts just scoutings, but the Ash Warrrior told you they lost many dogs already because engaging the Darkspawn. loghain also changing orders many times making Ash Warriors mad
Loghain do not know Darkspawns are in the tower is illogical, he have his men there, and when we arrive in the tower, the Darkspawn are already feasting, making decoration, laying traps, have a party....Loghain who ordered the tower is inaccesible because of the underground chamber...so it means the failure to report by Loghain men. Indiscipline of the soldiers
So, when everything mixed up, in the meeting time, we can see a brief on how unorganized the army of Ostagar is...that is the result of the failure of everyone in Ostagar...Grey Warden, Duncan, Cailan, Loghain, Chantry, scouts, soldiers...everyone...the meeting is useless....
To add, the meeting supposed to be with all, not just Loghain, cailan, duncan, uldred and grand Cleric....wheres the Captain, sergeants, Ash Warrior leader, Templar...? funnily the Warden who is just fainted in the Joining who know nothing get the previlage being in the meeting and contribute nothing to the meeting....
