Note: This interview was requested by Costin_Razvan, as apparently there is a small group of people who are not satisfied by interviews with sullen qunari or crazy old priestsBaffling.

Me: Loghain, I need you take some time out of your busy schedule of... I guess brooding?  Looking miserable?  Actually, I guess I have no idea what it is you're doing, but take a break, okay?  I need you to answer some questions for the forums.
Loghain: What? What forums? No, don't be ridiculous. How did you get in here, anyway?
Me: Plot holes.  Look, if you don't do this interview, the Orlesians win.
Loghain: ... Just make this quick.

Q & A with Loghain

Q: What do you think of the hate the players have against you?



A. I assure you, I think of nothing else. I cry myself to sleep over their cruelty every night.

Q. Wow.  Really?

A. No. I've been hated by a lot of people in my time, many of whom I actually knew and whose opinions mattered to me.  Why would I care for the hatred of strangers?

Q: What are your thoughts regarding Ostagar?


A. Oh, Maker, this again.  Only the darkspawn came away from that place victorious.  I have nothing further to say on the subject.


Q: What are your thoughts of Alistair, Duncan and Cailan?



A. All I know of Alistair is his name.  I'm not sure what conculsions you expect me to draw from that.  I barely knew Duncan, but he seemed capable, I suppose.  I have no desire to speak further of Cailan.

Q: What is your favorite map?



A. There's a very fine one of Ferelden hanging on the wall in the war room at Denerim. It was drawn just before the Orlesian invasion, and shows every bannorn and arling, every freehold exactly as it was almost a century ago.

Q: Now that you are a Grey Warden, what do you think of the order?



A. Since "the order" presently consists of just two people besides myself, I can't find any fault with it.

Q: Do you like nugs?


A. Those hairless rodents the dwarves eat? I've never seen one that wasn't salt-cured. They're not bad with pancakes, I suppose.

I like Loghain so much better now - I share his view on nugs, especially after Lelianna brought one to camp ... never regretted anything as much as that. Ever.

haha nice. Very Loghain like.

BTW, I read somewhere (forgot where) that you, Miss Mary Kirby, was the main writer for Loghain. Is this true?

Yes, I was responsible for writing Loghain.

Lol, can you actually ask him this or did you come up with it? I never got to get him as a party member yet, I just beat it and then there was specialization problem so I didn't want to play now I do and I'm working on it still :o

Well I liked Loghain, ever since Ostagar in my first game. Its a shame he didnt have more presence cos i felt he had alot of depth ive not read the books. After landsmeet is pretty much all combat. But then I didnt mind Anora either.
Edit: that wont stop my elf from gutting him this game, sorry Posted Image

Then allow me to say you have done an excellent job! Posted Image 
Loghain is my favorite character, alongside Morrigan.
 
And I realise that the next question might be a little premature. But will Loghain reappear in the expansion (not necessarily as a party member), if we chose to spare him?

Thank you and keep up the brilliant work!

Are we to infer from this interview, in which Loghain is a Grey Warden, that he survived the landsmeet? :P:whistle:

At least in the "Interviewverse"....

Favourite answer. Loghain could carry his own title... maybe not an RPG, though... "Loghain Mac Cry"?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it say in the epilogue that Loghain remains with the Grey Wardens for 3 years until he feels the call to go to Deep Roads for his final battle?

At least that's what I always got if he survives the final fight with the Archdemon.

I'm so glad I know for sure that pancakes exist in Thedas.

@Mary Kirby:

I wanted to say that I truly enjoyed talking to Loghain. He's an interesting guy and I think very well written. Also, whoever wrote Anora, kudos, she's hilarious. Also: awesome. XD

Loghain likes pancakes.

I shall now find it in my heart to spare him in every playthrough.

But is the expansion set 3 years or more after the game?
I don't know, does it say when the expansion takes place? Does anyone know?

If it is set 3 years after the game, then Loghain is probably dead yes. Unfortunately.

What *I* really want to ask him is "When you closed your eyes were you really thinking about your departed wife or was it Rowan?"



He'd probably punch me. LOL

Man, if Awakening takes place over three years after DA:O, I hope the recurring characters look like they've aged a bit.

Even if it's just a case of "More Hair Alistair".

He needs a beard, too.

(Yeah, I know he looks the same in the trailer, but there's plenty of time to change that in time for release :P)

Sounds like a question best asked over pancakes.  :innocent:

Dang it, first it was Addicted with his waffles, now it is Loghain with the pancakes *does his best Morrigan impression* MADDENING!



Want to share my agreement with others that, that was really funny and Loghain is one of my favourite characters too.

A little question to Loghain... I've heard that you are rebuilding the Grey Wardens. Is there a chance that you can bring back the griffons as well?

Ooh! Ooh! I have a question! Was that story about his wife and roses true? I'll spare him *once* if it's true.



Otherwise, Man Formerly known as Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir, we will not stop asking about Ostagar!

Never forget!



:D

Mary Kirby, you are the awesome! <3



Is it safe to say that, if Loghain were a food, he would be a delicious pancake breakfast with a side of nug? Doesn't sound exactly accurate...

*cackle*



If Loghain had a choice between pancakes with nug or waffles with nug however, which one would he choose?

Fernando Melo: Several months have passed since the end of
Origins, or more correctly, the end of the Blight,
which is the game's
focus for Origins. You are sort of thrust forward as the new Grey
Warden Commander in the land. You are given an area of the world which
we haven't explored previously called Amaranthine in the north of
Ferelden. Basically, there are lots of things that have been happening
there, lots of rumors; again, the Blight has just ended, so
communication is still very poor -- people are still not really
travelling the roads that much, etc. They're kind of sending you up
there to figure out what's going on and also to give the Grey Wardens
their rightful place back into the world based on what they've just
done.

How long is a Thedas month, anyway? And how many in a year?
