I keep seeing this, but DA:O portrayed the non-HOF (or HOF recruited) Wardens as the biggest conglomeration of idiots in Thedas. About the only thing they were good for was getting killed by darkspawn without amounting to much, except for Riordan, who mostly committed suicide. Let's review:
1. Duncan knows this is a blight and that there is an AD. His plan is to agree to stick all GWs in Ferelden (save 2, and only because Cailan asked) in the pits of Ostagar, where a single strafing run by a flying creature that breaths blighted fire could kill 'em all. End result: Coincidental betrayal by Loghain, all GWs die.
2. Riordan knows this is a blight, that only GWs can kill an AD, and that there are only 3 GWs in Ferelden. His plan? Separate himself from the others, and then leap off a building by himself, which has as much of a chance of succeeding (and I mean landing on the AD success) as hitting a bullet with another, smaller and slower bullet.
In DA:A, we have:
3. The darkspawn sensing GW get wholesale massacred to the last person by a horde of darkspawn, with the fortress only being coincidentally saved by the Warden, the Oghren, Anders and Ms. Redshirt.
The Wardens are terrible at their jobs.
Agree with everything you said, except about Riordan . Sure it was a pretty foolish (and badass) way to die. But he was the one who disabled the Archdemon by making so much love to him (and destroying his wings) in that iconic scene. That's the reason the Warden got to kill him in what I believe was kind of mild end game battle. I found Flemeth more challenging.
