dissapointed that u forced to play a character u dont like. i personally dont like playing male characters and if u cant even pick your own char im not gonna buy this game such a waste i hoped for more

Did you even read anything in the link?  Hawke can be female.  You still pick gender, appearance, and class.  You jsut don't pick race or surname (and you never got to pick surname to begin with)

forget it...90% of people don't like to read info...

I think it's easy to miss important information when you don't have much time to scan through page after page looking for info instead of opinions.

I'm stoked that Hawke is a female (or will be in my game).

I'm glad a lot of people are liking the new direction of bioware rpgs, but I'm not.



I don't like having bioware create my character, and I can only shade him/her a certain way. First Shepard, now Hawke. Bioware saying "Once you go fully voiced, you can't go back" scares me.



I'll spare you guys the rant, not even sure why I'm posting. All I'll say is I hope bioware has many future years of good sales, because well...missing mine isn't going to hurt profits much at all!

Hawke absolutely can be female.

Personally, I am totally on board with VO as long as there are multiple voice options in male and female (shoot Jennifer Hale could do about ten different voice options and you'd never tell until the credits). Too many times I needed to hear my DA:O char lash out with rage, or cooly drop a quick line to Morrigan etc etc

And there you lay your finger exactly on the sensitive spot: a bad voice can completely kill your immersion ( it made maleshep unplayable for me), and since good and bad are largely subjective regarding voices you'd need a lot of voice options to keep most people happy. But as the main character probably has a ton of dialogue I'm afraid there won't be many voices to choose from.  So I can only hope they are(or at least one of them is) good.

Personally I prefer to hear the main voice in my head because you can imagine it better and more nuanced than any actor(even  J. Hale) could ever manage.( but I'm one of those weirdos that read books)

P.S. As long as Morrigan returns it will be worth it!

there you make a valid point

I read books too, I just have different expectations in a video game.  A silent hero was fine for me back when everyone else in a game was mostly silent as well.  In a game that has every character except the PC fully voiced, a silent hero...sticks out more.  For some people, that can also hurt immersion.  I understand that in DA:O a fully voiced PC would have been impractical, but I can't help but see it as a bit retrograde.

Sorry if this has already been stated, but I think "Hawke" is going to be a construct similar to Shepard.

 
Well, they're on record saying this isn't true, and I doubt they'd lie to us about something that important.

Like somebody in Bioware said at E3 "once you go full voice-over, you never go back." 

That person was wrong.

[Godlywith2blades]

As long as there is full customization of the main character then I'll be alright with the direction their going with the game. None of that limited Mass Effect 1/2 character creation BS.

[Blacklash93]

Got this from another board.

Apparently, the story of Hawke is being told by a male dwarf called Varric. He's telling the story to a female chantry seeker who wants to know more about him.

The wierd part, though, is that he's telling the story his way, so the different Hawkes we're playing as are all probably just made up. The whole story of Hawke has become a distorted legend.

Think how Leliana's Song (DLC) played with her character's backstory, except far-reaching and left to more interpretation.

Quite sad. I like Mass Effect and will most surely buy the next episode but bringing Mass Effect gameplay to Dragon Age was unexpected and most inconvenient. I want to play different games when I play Mass Effect and Dragon Age. What was wrong with the current system? I hate to play humans in Medieval Fantastic games. I never managed to play them in Dragon Age Origin past the introduction (to get the achievement). Humans are boring. I know that, I'm one. Bioware will need lot of convincing for me to get this game while I was expecting something more like Neverwinter Nights series for the development of Dragon Age series...

If only they started Dragon Age Origin this way, I couldn't have complained because it would have been the type of the game. But they brought us "regular" medieval fantastic gameplay and now they are taking it away for a sequel... Most weird.

I do not even talk about the modding of the game which will most probably wont be possible if the make it like Mass Effect... Bad news all over for me...

If you read the article on page one you can see that the gender is customisable.

There may be (perhaps) elements of Shepards character implemented into the creation of Hawke. I also believe that Bioware creators will probably allow room for gamers to customise reactions, decisions and perhaps even his personality to some extent as well. (Consider how you were able to change Alistair in the first Dragon Age).  I can't imagine them taking out too much of  the personalisation aspect of it all....time will tell!

I hope this game actualy has a wider range of armors and weapons and not just a retexture of the same weapon and armor and female armor appearance(its one of those things that makes RPG all the more fun,like missing with a huge maul when the target is frozen and righ in fron of you)althoug Bioware did go for the logical regarding the armor for female character(bikini doesnt offer much protection like some other game thats getting and expansion of a natural dissaster oh and its online>(hint) 

Theres the  gender option so that means more Hot female x female for me  

I support Leliana for Dragon Age 2 (h)

 yup... if its not broken dont fix it

[Kasabkata]

And why don't you see it as a change for the better? Why evolving should be "a fix"? This "don't fix it if it works" mentality doesn't support progress at all.

[PROXIMITY6]

This can be played through lightside and darkside, but only the First KOTOR game, not Sith Lords. and only count the times you actually played through the whole game, not the save points
where you went back and played that favorite level again.

well i hoped that you'll get to continue with your old character from the first one, and I hoped that the second game will be based on morrigan but oh well.



so i'm a bit disappointed there…



Let’s just hope at least you'll get to meet your old characters from the first game and i hope that there will be more on what happens to Morrigan that child...

[saeid]

I hope they don't cut gameplay hours because of character voiced, really is that possible to create a game with 50-60 hours of gameplay and tons of dialogues and character be fully voiced?! i don't think so?! I think they ruining originality of DragonAge, long game play (50-60 h) and massive rpg. hope I'm wrong.

Think of Dragon Age 2 not as a sequel, but as another game in the franchise. You might occasionally stumble upon something from the first game, be it a place or a person, but it's still an entirely separate game. Most likely, Morrigan's story and other loose plot threads, including the eventual fate of your warden, will take place in DLC released before DA2 comes out.
The two Dragon Age games are, for all intents and purposes, separate entities set in the same world. Your decisions from the first game might have consequences, but they won't be important decisions of the sort that might take place in the second game itself.
Anyway, that's my opinion. It could well be that DA2 is used to tie up the plot threads from its predecessor, but that, to me, seems rather unlikely.

its an old saying.
i see it as change but not for the better adding voice is going to take up space that could be used to add more content to the game DAO was rpg of the year and th main char didnt talk. this whole forum is going nowhere
if we dont say anything bioware arnt going to know what we like and dont like im not saying they shouldnt put in th voice i m just saying that th 1st one did fine why cant th 2nd do that? people are just going in circles on here!
i think hawk should be connected to someone really important to ferelden(i mean family wise not just meeting your warden).like i said before the child or decendant of a hero. although people think that he could be the secret son of  maric, i personaly think bioware should go that way anyone can think of anyone better do tell!

While I have your same thought there is a thing I cannot understand.. 

According to many people who read GI they say that not only we will be able to import our saves from DA:O but also that they are studying a way to allow players to switch from a platform to another and keeping their decisions...

Unless the GI's reporter misunderstood something, and this information is wrong, now I am not able to realize, why in the world they should put a lot of work in this if all the decisions from DA:O won't have a HUGE impact on the lore and on the story of the sequel...

Honestly I wish this question of  imported decisions will be cleared up soon, because at present all the informations we have are really conflicting...

[Jallard]

As much as I have been reading these posts and their varied points-of-view, regarding Hawke and DA2, as being a different venue, I am losing interest in continuing to play Dragon Age Origins and its Awakening expansion. Currently I have 15 different characters that I am playing with. It doesn't sound like we will be able to do this in DA2. It is going to be a one time play through game ---once as a male and once as a female; Warrior or Rogue?!? Not worth the money, if you ask me.

I only wished that Bioware was more forthcoming about DA2 and its gameplay. To have teased us like they have only creates apprehension and disappointment. So, what exactly did Bioware accomplish with a short blurb? Any ideas? Thank you.
