Loghain as Boss during duel

In climax of the Landsmeet Loghain as Lieutenant is challenging, but not much. If he were a boss like Howe or Cauthrien, defeating him in single combat would be more satisfying. This idea came to me, because I compared fight with Loghain to fight against Arishok in DA2 and it was a challenging duel.

The Arishok duel comes down to prolonged running around and taking cover behind the pillars, because of Arishok's overpowered attacks and him drinking the healing potions which prolongs the battle even more...It's not the duel shown in the Destiny trailer, that's for sure. But yeah, one say it's 'challenging', of sorts. It's good it's not like that in Origins, the duel is quick and straight to the point, one on one, Loghain vs The Warden (or one of their companions), who has been hardened by the months of fighting and travelling. And Loghain isn't a master duelist, but he still knows how to fight, even though lately he's been dealing in betrayal, assassination attempts and scheming only.

But I think it's fair The Warden is actually better than him at this point, and Loghain's rank shows that - it can also reflect his crumbling morale - even though he acts tough, he's afraid people will learn the truth of his actions and judge him accordingly - when we win the Landsmeet with the support of majority of the nobles, he must be afraid, he'd be a fool not to, that's what happens to tyrants when they are faced with the consequences of their actions. That's my point from the lore perspective, from the gameplay point of view - making Loghain a boss has a possibility of turning the duel into something one had to endure in DA2 against Arishok.
