Yes, yes, keep making excuses using the traumatic past. Same would “work” in Loghain’s case. (The Stolen Throne reveals a horrific background) As does the redemption angle later. Just let it GO already.
Okay you really are not getting the point here. It isn’t about Zevran’s traumatic past versus Loghain’s traumatic past. It’s about the level of power and control Zevran has over his situation versus the level of power and control Loghain has over his.
It’s extremely ironic that you’re the one telling people to “let it go” now, but by all means, do so. Discourse is happening. You don’t need to call in the cavalry to defend Loghain’s honor.
