  Ok, back to the positive things.  Been running around (and creating) those "OMG the end of the crpg is nigh" threads.

It seems as though Hawke's story is going to be a tighter more contained tale than that of the Warden, which is not necessarily a bad thing.  (Of course the 10 year time span may throw a wrench into this assumption.)   With the Warden the fate of Thedas was in your hands roaming all over Fereldan to build your army to stop the blight!  Or in other words it was EPIC AWESOME!   

I'm curious to see how this tale relates.  It will be interesting to see what the story has for Hawke in terms of far-reaching consequences.  Its hard to imagine it will equal the blight, but again a more intimate, focused tale can be a great juxtaposition to its epic forerunner.  In fact, I'm kind of hoping this is in fact the case, and if not, well who am I kidding I never get tired of saving life as we know it!

When they say Hawke's rise to power, what exactly do they mean? Does he become an Arl or Teryn, or does he just become a famous hero?

[Gambient]

Uh yeah...

So, do you have a question, or something?

EDIT: To the above poster, that hasn't been clarified yet. Maybe it depends on the actions you choose.

Not sure what kind of nobility there is in the Free Marches, I think Arl and Teyrn may be specific to Fereldan, but I'm not sure. 

Somewhere (gameinformer, main page) I saw Hawke becomes a general.  Don't know if that means for a king, ruler, or free roaming general.

Nope, just trying to elicit discussion. Seeing what other people's thoughts are.  Seems on these forums there's no shortage of opinions (no matter the topic.)

I thought all we knew was that Hawke's going to be "Champion of Kirkwall." What that entails doesn't seem to have been revealed yet.

I'm not sure the story will be tighter and more contained. It could be, but it doesn't have to be. Sounds to me that how the story develops is very much tied to the choices you make throughout the game. That sounds to me like you will have a lot of leeway with what direction to take the character .



I'm looking forward to it, I've played DA:O about 20 times now and i'm playing it less and less unless I find some new cool mods to use. I admittedly haven't finished Awakenings, I've gotten about 1/2 way 5 times, but always seem to loose interest in it. I would like a new game to play for a while and so far from what little I've heard I'm a bit anxious for this game to be released and I'm looking forward to learning more about it until that time

It is possible that a wrench could be thrown into the work for a tighter storyline, but then again each section could be presented as either true/false statement. Did you decide to save character A or let them die? If you let them survive they could tag along with your story as a background character for the next segment or simply say thank you. It could go as far as the townspeople being programing to react a certain way based off the previous actions. Such as reacting negatively toward your character because you let the previous person die or demanded a reward for saving them.

I'm actually rather excited at the prospect of BioWare doing a story that's more focused on the player character. The rise of Hawke over a decade's time in the Dragon Age universe.....man I love that idea. Hope it's the more personal story that the super vague few paragraphs released make me believe.



It's exciting!

Actually hasnt it been said that Hawke will end up being one of or the most important person in Thedas?

If so you dont become the most important person in Thedas if a lot of people arent relying on you to defeat some ancient evil or unite a land against a larger threat.

So in other words it seems that Hawkes story will be even more "EPIC AWESOME" than Origins.

The exact wording implies that Hawke becomes the more important character in the Dragon Age world, possibly including future games, too. That's pretty damn important.

If he conquers Thedas, this would be true. Could you imagine, the Dragon Age (In-universe) is followed by the Hawke Age.

Speaking of which, how come dragons haven't played much of a role in terms of plot and story? The only one that might qualify (the AD) had a short time in the spotlight.

DA3 will most likely, in that case, feature The Warden and Hawke as pivotal but NP characters.

I agree with Hawke becoming an NPC, considering that he's fully voiced, but the Warden as an NPC? IDK if there would be much dialog and development if that's the case. .... unless they're going to canonize the Warden and every EA and BioWare employee (and every EA shareholder) dons their strongest flame-resistant gear for the mass outrage that follows.

[Morroian]

Personally I'm excited by the possibilities of the story. DAO was quite literary and it sounds like DA2 will take this a step further.

[Bryy_Miller]

I imagine we'll only really see The Warden in DA2 if you made them king/queen.



Wouldn't that be awesome? Seeing your custom character on the throne?

[Zalocx]

My guess is Hawke will unify the Free Marches (they have been described a s a collection of city states) into an empire of his own

[SDNcN]

If the Warden has a only short cameo then I'd imagine I wouldn't be that expensive to provide a voice for every species and gender combination.

Or become the vanguard of its destruction. Or affect the balance in the region by favoring Nevarra, Antiva, or Tevinter.

I dunno, it all sounds good.

[CrapCommando]

I hope you can import your decisions from DA 1 into 2 if you wish, this would be much better than having some generic assumed ending applied to the game as is often done with sequels to games with multiple endings. Fingers crossed...

if that's the case, I really hope there's a built-in 'grand strategy mechanic' (i.e., an actual grand strategy game, as opposed to dialogue where you give people stuff like cash/gems/whatever like in DA:O). 
I'm a 'fan' of Grand Strategy games, so been able to micromanage your forces would be great (being involved in their tactical deployment and combat would be great as well ).
I mean, having an RPG-Grand Strategy-Real-time-tactical game hybrid is something I'd like to see. (I don't really remember if I've played anything of the sort recently. First thing that comes to mind that's close is Microprose's 'Sword of the Samurai', as the Spellforce games are RPG-RTS)

Hmmm, forgot about that, yeah seems like the effects of Hawke's story will still be rather Epic.  Still there are more intimate ways of telling an Epic tale.  I really am intrigued by the 10 yr time span, I wonder if it will be play approx a yr of his life, then flash forward 4 yrs see effects, another yr, then flash another 4 yrs endgame.  Or if it will be play through about half of the game, flash forward 10yrs, play through end.  Either way holds promise.

This has already been asked, and confirmed, at least three times on these forums. So yes, you can import your DA:O save.
