Same story as our Warden or Sheppard for that matter.


Altough Shepard it's starting to look as if he's been "chosen" by Harbinger in a bigger scope long term plan for the reapers.

the bad guys are making him the chosen one...


The Illusive Man seems to agree though. "If we lose Shepard Humanity may well follow.." Posted Image

In Jade Empire you were a chosen one, so I don't mind either way.

In JE you were the Chosen One by virtue of beign the only one left, not by Fate, which is the point.

Hope not, I already feel like Hawke has "stolen" the Warden place as main character, and this would add to it. I wouldn´t mind seeing him as Flemeth´s Chosen though.

But the Warden was only the main character in Origins. There was never any indication that his story would extend past that. Just as, for the moment, there's no indication that Hawke's story will extend past DA2. The cool thing about the Dragon Age setting is how big it is. The world's huge, which means we may see a large number of main characters in varying locales.

Unless you wish to extend the definition of a "Chosen One" to someone who has a destiny (you do know right from the beginning of the game, after all, that your character is destined to become someone significant), then no... there is no "Chosen One" scenario here.


You can't imagine how glad I am to read that :)

The problem is they're hyping Hawke out to be the most important individual in all of Thedas (or am I mis-quoting what we know?).  Which means that he's not just DA2's important character, he's more important than the Warden, not just on the same level as him.

It also makes things really cheesy should they do a Dragon Age 3.  If Hawke is already the most important individual in Thedas, then they're going to have to come up with an even more over-the-top description of DA3's protagonist.

If they'd simply left out the "importance" of Hawke and just described him as being "one of the most important figures" instead of THE most important, then I wouldn't have much of an issue with it.  As it is now, Hawke's destined to become greater than my Warden.  And personally, I don't see the need for it.  They could have just told the same story while keeping them on even "importance" to the world.

I've only seen players say he's the most important individual in Thedas. He's the Champion of Kirkwall, which means he's probably the most important person in the Free Marches, but Thedas? Doubtful. That would imply he does things to affect the Qunari and all the human kingdoms as well. I've seen no indication of any of that so far. Unless you have a link that I don't know about saying he's the most important person, I'd say that's just forum hype from the people who can't stand the idea of anyone matching their warden in importance.

Strange question, I suppose, but Sylvius, how did you stretch your finger far enough over to hit the 't' instead of the 'y'? That's an odd typo.  Wait, wait, let me guess:  you typed that last sentence all with one hand.

My right hand wanders around a lot when I type, so typing a Y usually involves a great lunge across the keyboard to reach it.  In this case, I suspect I overshot the Y and hit the T because I'd typed an H earlier in the word, and not used my right hand since.  So then I was starting from far closer to the Y that is typical.

Though I don't have footage, so this is just supposition.
