4) Hawke is just a name. If that seriously drives you over the edge and makes you not want to play the game, then ... Wow.... I don't really know how to respond.
We're going to hear the name ''Hawke'' several times......so a better/more original name would have been a good idea.

We don't REALLY know that much about Hawke as a character.
We know he has a predetermined backstory, we know he has a predetermined race, we know he fled the Blight, we know he is a villager, we know he comes from Hawke family.A very unfitting one as noted by several people.Hawke is just a name.
Do we know his back story is pre-determined?, source?
No, we don't.
We do, developers never claimed it otherwise and talk about this as if it is obvious

Gaider always said there is a single origin, this is the same as saying there are no other backstories/origins

because when you label a game an rpg, and it turns out to be an action game, the rpg audience is going to be upset. bioware is actually pulling a marketing 180 here with dragon age. dao was a bg successor for true rpg fans, and now da2 is a 180 switch, jumping to cater the non-rpg gamers on the opposite side of the spectrum.Saibh wrote...

ME2 did some pretty big overhauls of ME1, and it still did excellently, despite pre-release protests.
I bought ME2 as well on the success of ME1. I expected the similiar experience but with much more main and side- plot and better graphics.
I got a shooter instead. At the end I fought a terminator-like enemy similiar to enemies from arcade games from 80s and 90s.
I will not buy ME3.
You are not the entire gaming market. Why is it that you seem to insist that you and the small minority of people who hate the game based on the most inconsequential things represent the entire market as a whole? You did not like ME2--you probably won't like DA2. But, you know, that doesn't change the facts that ME2 still did well, critically and fiscally. So why should the devs listen to your argument that all of these changes are going to lead to ruin?

me2's ending was a joke too. the best thing about me2 was the (few) small things that had nothing to do with the main story (collectors and TIM). good parts: the good geth race appearing into the plot, tali's loyalty mission, grunt, until the end when he started acting like a caveman.... dispite me2 having some lame parts to the main story and the dialogue, and the limited goals (recruit, get loyalty, the end).. it was still enjoyable but only because it was on sale and was polished well. no point in buying full price at launch. they go on sale (at least for PC) quickly, so they are worth playing since they are cheap.

Keeping the name very simple and short means that the name flows better in conversation, doesn't alienate your audience, and works effectively at personifying your character. Shepard worked in the same way. Hawke is supposed to be a hero. The name evokes that sort of emotion. Either way, nitpicking over the name is just absurd...The Woldan wrote...

I vote that BioWare add a crazy relative that we find randomly way off in the corner of the world that does this, and it makes for a hilarious easter egg.Bobad wrote...

Yes. Being human, being a villager, being a refugee, having the name Hawke. This makes him unlikeable.MonkMorkins wrote...

BioWare isn't going to listen to these small few dissenters, especially because they were just listening to people complain about ME2--and look how it did!
