As long as I get to control the character's personality directly, I don't care who he is.

Agreed.

Ps. I thought the thread title said the "Greasy Warden" lol.

[finnugold]

Playing as the Warden would be pretty bad, IMO, to those of us who chose to sacrifice the Warden at the end. It seems like a lot of people are forgetting that your Warden can die.

Sorry about the double post.

Hawke.

[Hayllee]

Hawke. As much as I have an unhealthy obsession with my main warden (no, not like... nevermind) I'm done playing her. I want someone new. I'm glad Bioware's leaving my warden alone now. Of course, I do wonder what happened at the end of Awakening, hopefully they'll ignore that now though. I did, as it just didn't seem right to me that Alistair and my character would just run off.

hawke.....fresh meet for the evil corruption....

[Majin Paul]

I'd rather play as Hawke, my Warden's story ended up pretty complete.

Hawke sounds interesting and as long as I get a good amount of customisation with him/her and a decent amount of control over the actions, I'm happy.

Seeing how Bioware decided to go with the new main character, I was wonder who or what you would have like to play as in the new Dragon Age?

I would have said "Warden".  Why?

If you put a dark ritual and the possibility of a godbaby at the end of a game, you must deal with its consequences (either the acceptance or rejection of the ritual) in the sequel.

But, at the end of the day, my Warden doesn't have to continue in Dragon Age games.  (Morrigan does.  Flemeth does.  But the Warden doesn't have to.)  What has to continue is the ability to feel like I get to make decisions based on how I imagine my character and then get something to think about as a result of what happens in the game.  That's what RPG's are to me.  They're not D&D.  They're not dice rolls.  They're not isometric combat or a bunch of menus and stats.  They're character-based decisions and consequences set in a compelling, interactive world that hopefully have good enough gameplay to further draw you into your character.  

I don't want to just be talked at because that's what movies and novels already do better than games and will always do better than games.  Trying to become a movie is a losing proposition for games.  You can't outmovie a movie.  Games are interactive.  That's the key.

If DA2 retains that, the lead character can be whatever Bioware thinks is best.

It's also worth noting that expectation can be different than reality.  One of the reasons writers should be allowed to do their own thing rather than respond to the wants of gamers is because good writers can surprise you and come up with something better than you had imagined.  Granted, it often doesn't work out that way.  But Bioware's writers have, I think, earned the benefit of the doubt.

So maybe people think Hawke isn't what they wanted but come to like Hawke when they see what he/she can be and what RP opportunities are there.

After so many post I read today finally one that made my day. Finally someone who put it down and pointed with a finger at it. That's what RPGs are about and not those stupid whinings about game mechanics and inventories.

So thank you. Really thank you. You give me hope on this board where you read such things far too seldom.

My Warden.

[2papercuts]

the warden, cause i thought the wardens adventures weren't over

The Hero Of Ferelden Any Day of the week(Kick Hawke ass)

[HopHazzard]

I do want to continue my warden's story, but I think that's something that's best handled through dlc and further expansions. I'm very excited to get to see this universe from a different viewpoint.

[Kritanakom]

alright, by my count so far in this thread it goes:

"Don't care as long as game is good": 13

Hawke: 11

Warden: 4

"Play as Darkspawn": 2

God-Child: 1

Flemeth (lol): 1

But then again it's pretty early. This thread isn't even in it's 5th page yet

In fact, if (when) this thread reaches page 4 I shall return to count the scores again!

I would like to play as my Warden, but Hawke is good. It might be interesting to see some of the Warden's choices from a different prespective.

[Shining Ghost]

Hawke.

As long as I decide how they act and get to be awesome, I'm gravy. I'm not on board with this whole "how dare this Hawke person overshadow my Warden" because... really, it comes down to me overshadowing myself.

LOL!  Indeed, what you said is basically how I feel.  I suspected the PC in a sequel wasn't going to be the Warden, and I didn't have any premature hopes about who, exactly, they would be.

So, put me down as "I'd rather have Hawke."

I agree.  I am looking forward to starting a new character.  I've had quite a few different characters in DA.  I don't play the same one over and over, mage, fighter, human, elf, male, female and each one is still me.

Warden.

[Helena Tylena]

On second thought, I'd like there to be an entire game centered around the exploits of Dog.



Make it happen, Bioware. You know you want to.

[iTomes]

i wonder....who would dog romance....

[Jimmy Fury]

Hawke.

My wardens' stories are all done. Some are dead, some returned home, 1 got a happily ever after and will go all Dark Phoenix on anything or anyone that threatens that... Time for something new.

Morrigan's kid has a canonization issue. They'd have to either canonize the DR, canonize no DR, or make us choose between a God-child and a normal mage. None of those are very fun options.

NPCs... maybe if they were minor ones. Cullen, Dagna, Gilmore, etc. might be interesting (more intersting if they came back as companions for a new protag) but I don't want to play as the Warden's companions because they're already established characters with their own personalities.

[WingsandRings]

Hawke. For the same reason several other people have said: playing as your warden or playing as Morrigan's god-child has canonization issues. I've played DA:O 3 times and only in one did Morrigan get preggers. In one my warden died. In one Loghain bit the dust. (Mwah haha).



So really, I think it works out better to have a whole new character. Besides, I don't understand why people think the Morrigan thing will be left hanging. David Gaider, I believe, said himself that we have not seen the last of the Morrigan plot. So it WILL be wrapped up, folks.

[Grommash94]

Hawke. Or rather, anyone, as long as I have freedom.
