I understand that the HoF agreed to grant Loghain his wish to atone by paying with his life, but he could easily accomplish that with years of service as a Grey Warden.

Or is it a simple matter of "Well, the idea just didn't cross the HoF's mind"?

If taken to the fight with the archdemon, Loghain does explicitly ask to be the one to make the killer blow to redeem himself. It's an 'honour' he seems to want. Doesn't seem so unreasonable to grant him it.

I suppose not, though I wonder why would one recruit him in the first place.

And by that I don't mean the endless debates about Loghain's morality. At that point, the HoF doesn't know that only a Grey Warden can slay the archdemon.

So as far as the Hero is concerned, having two GWs has been enough to get the job done.

Don't have to perform the Dark Ritual and can throw someone you don't like at the Archdemon instead of yourself or your allies (Riordan and Alistair).

 

I only declined to execute him once, and my character's express purpose was just to feed him to the Archdemon should it come down to them or him.

There is value in letting Loghain kill himself vs Archdemon that is one of the most clever endings.

It's a paragon ending for totally good wardens who had the strength to forgive him and opted for a redemption path.

I guess is depending on which kind of Warden you're playing. 

 

Wardens that don't sacrifice themselves (I don't see "paragons of good" there, a paragon of good will sacrifice him/herself) or Alistair, but also don't want to follow Morrigan's plan, will have Loghain sacrifice instead. Is a good way for the guy to redeem himself after all the bad he has done.

 

 

I suppose not, though I wonder why would one recruit him in the first place.

 

A). You sympathize with his plight (even if you don't approve his actions)

B ). You take into consideration Riordan's word. There is a Blight, and only 3 active Wardens in Ferelden. One more will really help (Alistair greatly disapproves, thou)

C). You want to bang his daughter, and thought is a good idea to recruit him to be in Anora's good graces (human noble only).

The first time I played DAO I thought what Riodan said made sense though I was tempted to kill him right there in the end I just thoght it would be beneficial to have 4 GW instead of 3.

As a CE warden I can't find any justifiable reason not to kill Loghain. He's dies in my games.

Riordan is the most experienced and knowledgeable Grey Warden and he advises that it would be beneficial to spare and recruit him so it makes sense to take that on board.  It also makes sense to accept Loghain's yield, as to finish him off once he has yielded  right in front of his daughter doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do.

Does to my CE. What would you do if somebody placed a bounty on your head, sent assassins after you,sold your friends and family into slavery? I wouldn't be a all love dovey all is forgiven cuddlier. I would want payback.

 

Besides talk to the Asp in camp and he is still arrogant another reason to kill him..

 

 

Riordan is a Loghain lacky-he kills a guard, says he needs a doctor then the next time you see him he's with Loghain--why isn't he back in his cell since he's a Orlesian warden and murderer?

 

Didn't Loghain rant about allowing the Orlesian wardens to enter Ferelden?   Wasn't the warden jailed for killing Howel?
