Ebon Hawke was the starship you had in KOTOR 1.

No it''s not.....the ship in not only KotOR 1 but also KotOR II is called the "Ebon Hawk"<----see how there's no "e" there?

And that was Arttis's point to begin with but only called the PC "Ebon Hawke"<----with an "e" because we don't get to modify/choose/alter it......"Hawke"<----with an "e" is the last name given by BioWare and cannot be touched.

1) Need allies to rise to power.....that would be political
2) Need money to rise to power.....money can only gain political power
3) Think like a general......yeah that would be yet again political power

I somehow doubt that BioWare means "rise to power" in the terms of "whatever.....look there's a duck over there".

What you talk about regarding "song and script" is FAME......NOT POWER......there is such a thing that is called a dictionary.....look it up......for real it's not a rabbit.

They told us it was a new "single player RPG" not a new "strategic RPG"
I don't think they suddenly turned Dragon Age in Age of Empires..

You're completely mising the point just like all the others......the point isn't that it's a stategy game but that the ultimate goal of the game is for Hawke to get himself in a position of political power....ie.....king/emperor/president(lol) or something along those lines.

Arl of Foreshadow confirmed something do with Orlais. My bet is a second expansion.

From the notes of Arl Foreshadow:

"Lost countenance: Ferelden to Orleisan Phrase Book

-Must not offend the potential landlords"

This is most likely about the Orleisan warden coming to Amaranthine in Awakening.

Ahh.. ok.. now I see.. sorry for that

Anyway.. Even in DAO you could become king/queen of Ferelden
And in Awakening as the Warden Commander you were the ruler of the Land..

Therefore maybe  in DA2 we'll just see something like that !

Well, the announcement does seem to say something like, "experience the life of a general". Well, that wasn't it, but I'm pretty sure they used the word general at least once.

Uh, like Chris said it covers 10 years so that might be during the blight, before our PC got even recruited to the Wardens and then after even.
Personally I'm interested in the whole 10 years thing since remember how in AC you would go through a range of events and then end up with a beard?

Oh yahz, I remember when they took out half the content to sell as dlc, and then gave my character a beard so it felt like some time had passed... I really hope that Bioware doesn't do something like that.

Yes but more than that. In DAO only the human noble could become a Prince(ess) Consort which basically meant that you were the husband/wife of the regent but without the actual power of a queen/king and in awakening you were more like a regional lord.

In DA2 it appears that we'll get to go from ****** poor and probably not of noble blood to actually being a king/queen with this goal being the main focus of the entire game sort of like defeating the blight was in DAO. Also while in DAO no mage could start to think of becoming royalty in DA2 you can be a mage and get to take power.

Now that would be epic. Really sucked my poor elf mage had to look foreward to traveling, recruiting, or hanging around a court that half probably hated her for being an elf/mage anyways....



I'm stoked with live life as a general...fight like a sparatan....



Kirkwall must be full of problems....

Isn't that the storyline of fable 3? Someone coming from nothing and fighting to become king. I wonder exactly we'll be fighting and what our goal exactly is. Is it just for power? I would think there would be a reason behind it. Usually something to do with the villain or whatever we're fighting against.

Well details are scarce but I suspect it has something to do with whoever destroyed Hawke's town.

One confusing thing is that although it's true they haven't given any good hints that there will be overlap, they do describe him both as a "penniless refugee" and as "Champion of Kirkwall." Now it's not outside the realm of possibility for someone with a title like that to BECOME a penniless refugee, but there is a chance that this whole Kirkwall business is part of the game.
If it's supposed to be a rags-to-riches story, then it's a little odd if he had that title already (but again, there's nothing saying he can't be a penniless Champion).
So...IF the Kirkwall thing is part of the game, then theoretically "surviving the Blight" could be part of the game too. Eh, it's kind of a long shot, I know.
But then there's the matter of this decade-long span. If it's going to be like Fable, where stuff happens then a bunch of time passes, then more stuff happens, it seems pretty feasible that the beginning of the game could be Hawke's flight from Ferelden and arrival in Kirkwall, then his/her subsequent earning of the title of Champion of Kirkwall. Then x years pass, then the game resumes.

interesting......i was thinking that surviving the blight was hawke's backstory. seems to me like the blight has taken everything away from him and now he stands alone and penniless to fight whatever the new disaster is. maybe he's from ferelden and fled during the blight? now he finds himself in a new country trying to make a life and a name for himself? seems we're pretty close in what we're thinking. passage of time may be weird. we'll see our friends come and go. kinda sad.

mmm.. honestly...In an epic game you'll be obliged to become "someone of important"

Therefore if my destiny will be to become a king or a great general well... I'll really prefer this instead of becoming an half-god with unlimited powers...
I had really enough of some over-epic stories I saw in the past...

This was also one of the main reason why I was hoping DA2 was a new story..
My old warden had reached the max powers that a human could get....I was happy when they give me the opportunity at the end of the game to leave and disappear forever... and there was no need to go further

Until they'll keep my character in a "human" dimension I will be always happy...

Kirkwall?

Hawke is from the Orkney Islands.

I'm probably the only one that got that.
