About Loghain

I have one warden with this choice, and yes, he's interesting character (and good sacrifice material – for Archademon, and later too). Don't kill anyone isn't a big sin, despite, that based on his sins, he probably deserved the death. But this isn't really mercy, only delayed execution, and a second chance for him. I'm a big fan of the second chances.

I have spared him in some saves. I like to see different outcomes. The last time I spared Loghain I was playing Dwarf Commoner rogue and she did not get along with Alistair in any way, shape or form. It made the "it's him or me" decision quite easy.

I've seen videos of his cameo in DAI and it was a little meh for my taste (Alistair's cameo wasn't better either). I still prefer his death in DAO because I think that dying to save Ferelden it's the perfect ending for him and it fits his character.

Both.

In my first PT I killed him and in my second I made him a Warden, so I could leave him in the fade in DAI.
(I've only finished DAO twice so far)

It was just brilliant but I cannot bring myself to kill Hawke in order to save him. Varric becomes so sad

I've played Origins three times.

Twice, I killed him in the duel, including my first play through.

My third time, my Surana wanted Alistair off the front lines and safely King with Anora. it was painful, but she let Alistair leave her side and pulled Loghain Onto the team. She didn't argue with Loghain about who would weild the final blow; Zevran was looking very pained at the idea and she had no interest in dying.
Alistair didn't stay mad in the end, and hopefully their friendship has healed over the years.

But honestly, I've been disappointed, because like...No one refers to Loghain killing the Archdemon at all in DAI. He's still the traitor that gets Threnn transferred. Loghain was an okay companion, he made me laugh once. And even though I didn't give him a single present, e was at max approval or near it from conversation alone

I've considered somehow getting him to DAI on one of my ultimate sacrifice play throughs I have planned to see if I like the feeling of him dying in the Fade any better.

But I voted No. Because as of right now, I think he should die after saying goodbye to his daughter. It's a strong moment I enjoy.

I do not need additional drama in my team among other things, so Loghain's neck always end up in a date with the Warden's sword.

I usually kill Loghian... ehehe. Although, some like my Male Aeducan, killed him by means of the archdemon...

I really like Loghain's character but I will always sacrifice him if I recruit him. To me, his story is told in Origins. Reducing such a great character to a bunch of half-hearted cameos really hurts.Also I'm leery on allowing an Old God to survive. These things cause Blights, so I'm not clear as to what the value is in letting Urthemiel live that's why I need Loghain in DAO.

Ya,the writers had to make the plot as much as convoluted as it was possible in order to hide the US.

Loghain has never survived my playthroughs, and if it wasn't for Arl Eamon, I would have let Dog be my champion. As it is, I usually tend to duel him (or let Zevran do it, for the irony) and let Alistair do the executioning, unless I want to hook him up with Anora.

(My Surana was from the Denerim alienage, so she most definitely had a grudge. And my Brosca was bffs with Alistair, so there was no way she was going to let Loghain live either.)

I haven't ever let Loghain survive past the Landsmeet. Not even for the achievement.
