Yeah, the game has only shown Loghain negatively but I'm excited to get to know him as a player. Isky is pretty different from me, but the same as me in many ways, too. Isky's kind of like me when I was younger, if I was nice? It's a mix of different experiences of my life, I guess. Basically he's super SUPER lawful and devoted to the Circle and never bothered to question anything ever because he was not raised to. But because of the circumstances of this little adventure, he's been a bit forced to question stuff. But he's still very reluctant to, and has to do so at his own pace.
One thing, though, is that he's never questioned the idea of respecting anyone. He's never really had any kind of real prejudice -- though, like privileged people IRL, this doesn't mean he doesn't have internalized ones he doesn't even realize. I knew nothing about this game before playing, but I'm so happy there is a character like Morrigan in this game, because she is the perfect friend for Isky, and she's just really awesome as a character on her own, too.
I'm super attached to my Warden so far but not much as happened. The more the game will force me to go ooc, I may lose that attachment. But I really just love the setting/world/characters so far that it also makes me super love Isky.
Talking to everyone in the church in Lothering, I've already come to understand the religion a bit more. Your description is fantastic though and helps a lot XD
ISKY LOVE CIRCLE so he's gonna go there, I think. If I can kill the stupid bandits. They just put TOO MANY ENEMIES all at once. It's annoying. It's like they really want you to have a tanky tank, but your tank cannot handle like 17 enemies pounding on them from near and far... it's like you'd need 3 tanks and one character to slowly pick everyone off. I've won too many battles from taking out a leader SUPER fast, or from just having everyone draw aggro and run in circles and try not to take any damage while someone else gains MP or something to heal X_X;;;
I really need to put my herbalism skills to work, though. I haven't really been using potions but they would be SUPER useful right now. I have plenty of herbs and Isky is great with the herb himself. *lights one up* <-- idk why I even make jokes like this because it's not relevant to me or the people I make the jokes to in any way lol
