As the name implies, this is where you can discuss who you think was your greatest adversary was and why. Here's my top ten.
1) Teryn Loghain.
2) The Arishok
3) Knight Commander Meredith
4) The Architect
5) The Archdemon
6) Ser Cauthrein
7) Corypheus
8) Duke Prosper
9) Quentin
10) Flemth
P.S. Extra one 11) Sister/Mother Petrice

Loghain is my favorite.
I'd hardly put Cauthrien on that list though. She's a farmer who Loghain recruited (much like himself, he values people for their skills. Not their nobility and whatnot). She's just a badass soldier, loyal to someone who she thinks was a national hero.
She kicked my ass more than anyone on this list combined. I had to reload and respec my Warden in order to persuade her not to fight me. Nevermind the Archdemon, Cauthrien was one tough cookie.
Loghain
Meredith. My favorite character in DA2. I like her voice
Meredith. Amazing character, voice actress nailed all of her lines. I also really enjoyed hearing her backstory.

Yes she was. And is voiced by the very talented Alix Wilton Regan who is one of two voicing femquisitor.

Love her voice. Music to my ears. Loved her as Samantha Traynor.
Also, Petrice. Vile Cruel, petty woman who thinks she can string me along for her religious war against the Qunari. Absolutely hate her.

She's vile, but I wouldn't call her petty. She and the Arishok both emphasize the concept of "eternity". They think in the bigger picture, of larger things always at stake. That's not petty. Fanatical though.
Loghain with the Arishok right behind him. So refreshing to see an antagonist that doesn't use the mind control excuse.

lol.. fair enough.

Not petty, fanatical, yes, but not petty. I have to admit I liked her. The Arishok though is probaly one of my favorite antagonists.
TBH, I wish that DA2 was more about the chantry v qunari over the mage templar conflict.
An intersting realization. I just realized that nearly everyone on my list is alive.
Loghain is a Grey Warden. The Architect is somewhere. The Archdemon has been reborn as my own child. I persuaded Cauthrien to stand down. Flemeth is alive and who knows where. Corypheus is probably possessing Larius. And I sided with Petrice in one of my playthroughs. Everyone else is dead. Woah. I really do make my own enemies. 
Whoever that creepy voice is in the Enemy of Thedas trailer *shudders*

Fine. Cruel and vile, because she killed a kid for her agenda.

Not that this makes it any better, but is he really a kid? I always thought he was late teens or early college age. He had the kind of rebellious attitude typical of annoying Freshman college kids. Like when they finally read Nietzsche and suddenly they know the meaning of life (or lack thereof). Or _insert whatever doctrine outside their original upbringing_.

He had the kind of rebellious attitude of simply being different, typical of annoying Freshman college kids. Like when they finally read Nietzsche and suddenly they know the meaning of life (or lack thereof).
My point is that he was an innocent. He was just interested in the Qun and Ashaad and she had him killed.
Am I the only one who really didn't like Saemus? I found him a bit like one of those hipster college students who think they know everything. But still I didn't want him dead.

My thoughts exactly. Strange.

keep in mind we are talking atm of antagonist/villian.
The fact she did these things made me like here as a villian in that I wanted to see her die. If you don't get some sort of emotional response from your antagonist then not good antagonist. with Petrice, she was a good antagonist because from the begining I wanted to see her go down. She was a good antagonist IMO.
- Loghain is my favourite because he was much more than a simple villain. I guess as an adversary Cauthrien was awesome too. I thought she was harder to beat than the Archdemon.
- Corypheus was great because of the lore, and also he didn't die (well I think he didn't, don't know if it was confirmed).
- I liked Prosper too, I mean, the guy had a freaking wyvern pet. Even Hawke isn't that badass.
- Branka and the Mother probably disturbed me the most.
- I don't easily hate characters, even villains, but mother Petrice... I just cannot stand her. I don't think I disliked Howe as much, which is saying something.
Branka and Ser Alrik rank fairly high for me.
Loghain is my favorite and will always be my most favorite Dragon Age's antagonist until someone else able to prove they are better antagonist. I love how he turned out to be flawed hero and complex character rather than a simple villain.
The Arishok take second place on my top three favorite antagonist/villain, followed by Sister Petrice who I personally hate deeply, yet I have to applaud the writer for making her such a good antagonist that I want to kill so much.
I don't think you should categorize Ser Cauthrein among that list though, she's just doing what she thought was right unfortunately her loyalty is to the wrong man. 
I don't think I disliked Howe as much, which is saying something.
Now that you mention it. Where is Arl Rendon Howe on that list? Every Human Noble hates him as far as I'm concerned, and he's done no good for Ferelden at all.
