I have to wonder what Hawke's motivation is to rise to power... If Bethany gets captured by Templars like a damsel in distress, I will smack someone. I will.

I think people are really overreacting to the whole 'canon' thing. I don't believe that what they're saying is that it is the "real" way that it happened. Rather, they simply have a set of decisions for those who haven't played the first game. I know that a default and a canon story have different meanings, but people are getting WAY too hung up on semantics. Come on, now, we know what they mean.

They are saying that a lot, but quite honestly why should anyone care? Hawke as of know is an empty name, with no emotional meaning or attachment for Dragon Age players.

Why should Dragon Age 1 players care that Hawke(excuse me but every time I write that name, it's so cheesy:unsure:) can rise to power.Saibh wrote...
[*]Because the setting is a place without a unified govenment, it's a place where Hawke can rise to power.

At least they could connect him more with the events of previous game in some way or the situation he finds himself into. As of now he is blank page, and saying "Hawke can rise to power" doesn't stir any interest at all.
Huh. You know, I seem to recall no one knowing about the Grey Warden before they played that game. Almost as if s/he didn't exist before then.
Who could have guessed?
EDIT: Also, come to think of it, aren't you complaining left and right that Hawke isn't a blank page? What's this now?

Ferelden king or queen was changed and it depends on whom we picked.For example, Alistair or leaving Anora alone etc. I think it has a big importance for Ferelden. Anora might be difficult to trust as an ally for big future war which involves the Chantry. Alistair won't accept to fight against the Chantry easily.

Kordaris doesn't need logic for his arguments, nor consistency in them, pfft. Its Kordaris.

So will I miss much from Dragon Age 2? I mean was there some epic story I didn't get? Summarize for me anyone?

I seem to recall that Dragon Age 1 wasn't a sequel.

I would think that would depend what side they'd be on (which isn't certain) and what side YOU'D be on.

As for the canon comment- he meant "default" as canon implies its the same for everyone. Although I'd bet the default for a new player not importing from Origins is Alistair King, Morrigan did the DR.....

assassination to Alistair by Anora would be shocking though!

Well, that would only be possible (whether it's likely or not) if Alistair is king, which he might not be.

Jeez, you'd think people had started worshipping the Warden as the Maker himself from the way people carry on about the whole new character thing. Don't get me wrong--I love my Warden, but I think my only character who deserves that kind of adulation was my Bhaalspawn. Who was...the child of a god of murder. And kind of a big f-ing deal.

The part about the Free Marches being very political makes my day. Playing politics are some of the most fun parts of DA:O and DA:A in my opinion.

Agreed. It's interesting to see how the more influence and power you gain, the more significantly your choices affect people.
Still wish I was playing in the first and not third person, but I suppose that ship has sailed.

You know, I like thinking of myself as a reasonable, giving person, and, to me? The word makes a big difference. It makes a big difference to a lot of people. It's the difference between being told your decisions aren't the correct ones and your decisions being slight adjustments to the settings bar, you see.
I've seen many of your posts on the forums and I would agree that you are reasonable and giving. All I meant was that people are arguing over what he said in the interview when we know (unless I've missed something) they've said that there's a default set of choices if you don't import your information, but our decisions do carry over into DA2. I really don't think Bioware is saying (with established choices for the default OR even if they establish a canon) that anyone made the wrong choices. Nevertheless, they have to have a sort of canon for lore and books (if they do them) or the whole story would just fall apart. At least I think so.

I really need to show you the comic forums where people more than imply that reading comics will kickstart the next phase of human evolution.
