Zevran and Loghain may only have 1 party banter line, but it is definitely one of the funniest.

[dmitrygolubev]

One thing I liked about this series is this: back in Origins, when Loghain responds to a suggestion of requesting help from Orlais to end the Blight by snapping back immediately and yelling "Not a chance! We didn't kick them out 30 years ago to welcome them back now with open arms". This (back on Origins) might make you think that he is paranoid. But then you play through Inquisition, get to the Winter Palace, and realize that Loghain was right on the money with that one - their ruling class has no concept of honor.

Get you someone who loves you as much as Loghain Mac Tir hates the chevaliers.

[SeanintheShire]

I've always loved having him be the one that stays in the fade in DAI. There's something poetic about his last line being, "for the wardens!"

[TheMuffinBurgler]

. . . Why did I tear up over Loghain and his dog at the end?

[christinefarrell]

Describing the entire events of the Calling like Maric taking a gap year in college killed me. Great video!

[HisShadow]

Loghain in my opinion is the best written character in the series with a really beautiful redemption arc as time goes on. Ending as the senior Warden in Orlais is too perfect.

[qujmilton]

Loghain is my favorite character in the series alongside Hawke
You can imagine how difficult that decision in the fade was for me.

[StonedHunter]

Loghain is definitely my favorite villain and I am sad that I can't bring myself to recruit him permanently due to losing Alistair and how his fate ends up if you do. I love seeing him be hit HARD with just how badly he fucked up and how he just accepts that no one will ever favor or trust him, but still does whatever he can to make up for what he did. I feel like he isn't talked about nearly enough which is sad as if there was anyone who could relate to Solas in Dreadwolf...it very well could be Loghain who knows what it's like to turn into a monster trying to protect and revive the land you love.

One thing I absolutely love about Dragon Age's writing is how even when its a decsion that I'll never do, such as trading Alistair for Logain or driving Bull back to the Qun, they make sure the story will still have impactful satisfying climaxes.

The fabled Loghain video. The curse is broken it seems.

[jamesandthemgiantcheeks]

Loghain had every reason to hate Orlais, but his hatred blinded him greatly

[technology]

Does anyone else want to find out how Hawke and Loghain became friends? We know how it happened for Stroud and Alistair, but I *really* want to find out how a survivor of Loghain's betrayal and Loghain himself became friends. Somebody write *that* short story.

[EdranNight]

I used to be hard-core against loghain, like I would kill him every single time in DAO(except one time for the achievement), this all changed after I played with the Dragon age Keep world state for one of my runs of DAI I found myself being more sympathetic to him, I expected him to be bitter, or even aggressive, but from my perspective he seemed genuinely repentant, it gives me the image of a good man tainted with an ends justify the means mentality. Now I find myself much more willing to show him mercy in DAO

[artydomi]

One of the most compelling antagonists in all of Dragon Age thank you for doing this character justice

[TheMan-jexq]

Something that’s kinda interesting is the voice actor for Loghain, Simon Templeman also voiced Mordred in The Legend of Prince Valiant cartoon in the early 90s and Mordred is a pretty similar character to Loghain

[theskyling]

So many mixed feelings about this guy. He's a fascinating character, so many sides to him, and I think whether he made the right call at Ostagar is a lot more complicated than many fans would like it to be. But at the same time I just can't forgive him for literally selling elves into slavery. Not that it would be okay to do it to anybody else either, but you know he never would have done that to humans. My first ever experience with Dragon Age was playing as Tabris, so those were literally my character's friends and family and community he was selling away. It's hard to think of that as being for the "good of the country".

[sveipr]

While I personally don't like Loghain, recruiting him into the party/grey wardens while Alistair stays to become the king with Anora makes the most logical sense to me and is my canon worldstate.

[lemonZzzzs]

One of the best villains written for a game.
