Could be considered a /v/ thread, but like Game of Thrones, Dragon age (origins) is one of the leading fantasy settings in gaming and a tool in media:
.
>Be Loghain
>Suffered under brutal foreign subjugation
>Had his pet dog kidnapped and killed by the elite nobility
>Becomes the hero of Ferelden (his country), a leading general in it's war of independence
>After the war he advises the new young king of Ferelden
>Leaves his king to be slain in battle against an unstoppable evil horde
>Take his army and makes himself leader of Ferelden
>Most of the nobility hate his guts for abandoning the king
>(((You))) spend the entire game trying to destroy and delegitimize his rule
>Near the end of the game you defeat him, and have the choice to spare him and take him in or, as the game wants you to, you kill him.
>Everyone in your war party hates his guts
>Everyone for the rest of his life hates him
>He spends his life working even after your death for the cause while chest deep in self loathing
Yet despite this he makes for one of the most interesting and underrated characters in the lore.
Was he redpilled?
Did you spare him?
