By the screen shot he has what appears to be a serious case of jaw jutt.

I'm almost certain that he will. Even if he isn't, I'm still on team Varric. I do like the idea that he very well might just stay in Kirkwall and I can romance him from afar. It seems like it could be a more logical progression, as well, considering the character.
But he might get Kelly Syndrome, though. Where they suggest at an NPC romance but it's only half assed until the epilogue where Varric shows up in a tight spandex uniform and dances for you.

Hm. On looking at it, I'm really not a big fan of the bloated dwarf chin (whyyy? The female dwarfs don't have them!), but the chest hair remains magnificent. I am so torn.

It would be very nice if we could do that

I'm pleased by the representation of the chest hair there but not so much by his face. I expected him to be a dwarf, of course, but I expected his face to have a more "chiseled" look. Kinda looks like he's got a double chin there. I just think he looked much more like he could be a fighter in that concept art. Here I think he looks more like the various male dwarves in Origins, whom I didn't find attractive. I liked the direction I thought they were taking the dwarves in the concept art.

Looks like I'll be going this road (mostly) alone, then. T'was nice fawning over him as a group for a few days.

More observations:
-If Hawke is a blood mage, then it makes his smearing of blood on his face a bit more notable than just him wanting to be Adam Ant.
-New sword styles evident. Qunari seems to be dual wielding with a particularly large double headed axe as well.
-The design on the King/Prince's cloak looks Dwarven to me. Not sure what that might imply, if anything.
-I must admit I love Hawke's cocky almost jaunty pose and stroll up the steps. He isn't very militaristic/stupidly buff which I approve of. But then he does seem to be a mage.
-Incidentally if he -is- a mage then that would explain his default weapon. It will be a special Arcane Warrior weapon (Not saying it will be restricted to AW if that spec is even in the game, but it will be designed for combat mages). That doesn't mean we won't see polearms used by other classes though, I'm just speculating.
-Hawke's sword staff (I think it's the end of it) has a strange amber gem set into the pommel, with root like things around it, very Morrigan-ish.
-Big round red circle on Qunari's axe, symbol of the Qun? Or something else? I can't remember if we've seen it before.
-He also has a white symbol on his shoulder pad.
-Incidentally default Hawke's shoulder pad/gauntlet combo looks kinda silly but I'll let it pass.
-Yeah his sword staff definitely has that orb on the pommel, probably magical.
-Mountains in the distance.
-The orb seems to glow while Hawke uses his weapon.
-More Dwarven-y symbols on the pillars. Or are they Tevinter in origin? Just remembered Tevinter uses similar designs on the runes.
-Hawke burns the Qunari using his gauntlet hand. Is it magic or some sort of corruption on that arm?
-I swear the Qunari uses a magical attack to stop Hawke's flame attack. It happens to fast to be sure though. Seems unlikely as the Qunari don't like mages and keep them chained up, but still.
-Nope whatever power Hawke has isn't confined to his gauntlet arm. After being wounded you can see him cut his other arm (the cuts on which are already glowing red with power). His cut starts smoking and then you get the montage of memories as he closes his eyes.
-Hawke making out with the gypsy woman/pirate lady. Guessing she comes from Antiva or Rivain judging by appearance? Maybe the Qunari will play a big role in this. Big pirates of the Caribbean vibe with her, she has golden earrings with a skull on them and a headscarf/bandana. Maybe she is played by Penelope Cruz (what? I can dream right?)
-Ah she is definitely a pirate lady, there is a boat in the background.
-Looks like she betrays Hawke, or similar. She tries to leave, he grabs her, she points a sword at him. Maybe he is really clingy?
-Flaming buildings. Could be Lothering?
-Really interesting shot of Hawke gazing down upon a canyon strewn with statues and ancient looking buildings. In the distance is a hill/mountain with a fortress on the top. Actually this could just be Kirkwall, unless that fight takes place elsewhere. The architechture is similar.
-Really disturbing image of some weird dragonmonsterthing after that. It's all emmaciated and thing, but with the same overal shape as a dragon (wing like [protrusions and whatnot) glowing red and screaming.
-It then seems to fly off. Further confirming dragon-ness. The area it is in he cracked and dead looking with red light coming from underground. Could this be related to the Dragons that were killed in the Free Marches?
-Hawke's hands closing a set of big heavy metal doors that lead out into a cavern. Looks deep road-ish to me, and you can see ruined architecture in the background. Doesn't seem very deep though, looks like light spilling down from above.
-VERY annoyingly the next few moments are really bad quality for some reason, all block and you can't make anything out. Surely not intentional? You can make out Hawke looking down at something in a cave though. Wait scrap that he is now looking up at some giant thing.
-Flemmeth in Dragon form. Unclear whether this was what Hawke was looking at a moment before.
-Flemmy in human form beconing to something.
-Hawke fighting some giant metal dude with two huge swords in an old building. I can't make screengrabs right now but this guy looks odd, completely metal it seems and huge. It has a human looking face though, and is dressed as if in armor. Some new form of golem? It has like the spikiest shoulder pads of all time.
-Hawke fighting some other monstrous thing with a blue core that looks like it's made of rock. Really hard to make out though and goes by faster than the Flash. It's underground though, so maybe the same thing I mentioned before Flemmeth.
-Ah clearer shot of it. It has a head and massively oversized arms. Looks golem-like to me but much much bigger and OTT. Kinda like you might imagine a really badass Shale before she got chiseled down. It's blue core reminds me of something but I can't think what.
-Very Lord of the Rings style shot of a bunch of warriors lining up with shields and spears (think the start of Fellowship and the battle with Sauron). They are Templar's judging by the symbol on their shields (the sword with waves coming off it).
-They are fighting a large group of black clad dudes in a barron area with old pillars dotted about.
-A shot I missed of Flemmeth standing on a cliff overlooking something we can't see (Hawke fighting the rock dude?)
-Finally got the shot of the black robe guys. I'm calling it now, they are maleficarum of some sort, they all seem to have staves and robes. They are a mixture of male and female from what I can see.
-I have a feeling I can see a dragons wings in the background of their 'group shot' Flemmeth?
-Another shot of the two armies lining up. This looks like it could be to do with the civil war as we already know the Templar's/Chantry is heavily involved. Mages unleashed? Would certainly explain why they have made Hawke a mage (seemingly).
-Back to the fight and Hawke has glowy red eyes now. Could be blood mageyness could be something else.
-Regardless he shoots some sort of crazy fireball out of his arm that sets fire to the Qunari. Interestingly the fireball almost seems to have dragon wings for a brief moment.
- It isn't a normal fireball at all in fact, it grabs the Qunari's arms and holds him in place. Very blood magic to me, but can't shake the feeling Dragon's are involved.
-Implied dismemberment of Qunari by Hawke.
-"These are the ones that change the world forever." - Yay for Kate Mulgrew.
-Flemmeth dialogue stuff:
"There are men that struggle against destiny, only to have it swallow them whole." - Talking about Hawke I reckon. Probably in relation to him getting swallowed whole by Varric's chest hair in act 2.
"And there are men who embrace destiny and do not show their fear" - scrap that both of these talk about Hawke I think. It's probably to do with player choice, embrace your destiny or struggle with it. As Varric fans we will all be in the first camp, we know you can't struggle against that chest hair.
-Cosmetic note: Garrett Hawke really does remind me of Morrigan. I saw someone speculate that Bethany might be taken as Flemmeth's new 'daughter' - but what if it doesn't have to be a daughter? Flemmeth might be planning on using Hawke for some similar reason. Maybe she is like a lot of us here and wants to try playing as the opposite gender?
One definite fact I got out of this trailer was: Regardless of the rest the music in DA2 is going to be freaking fantastic.

It's not that I don't like Varric's model, it's just too standard for a dwarf of that calibur.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. I'm sure he'll still be awesome in game, nothing has changed my opinion yet! I never expected him to look exactly like the concept anyway. The only thing I am disappointed with is his hair, and even then you can't see it properly in that screenshot.
I have faith!
And anyway, it's a game. Be open minded people! So what if he is a bit podgy?! If he is as godly as we make him out to be it won't matter.
Edit: Oh and after reading the past two pages can I just direct everyone to my post above. The trailer most definitely revealed more than just one fight.

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not a LI model. I mean really, you can usually tell who the LIs are gonna be based just on how they look. Except for Tali and Garrus but they were put in by fan request anyhow.
Like I said, still gonna love him, just probably not romantically. I remain hopeful for an interesting dwarf romance in the future, because variety is a good thing!

Yes he's quite tasty-looking. I might even be convinced to actually use Garrett as my male Hawke. And goddamn, they're making me wanna play a mage. I never play mages. <_<

I'm pretty sure that's what we see off in the distance in that flashback. There's huge statues butted up against a cleft in the rock wall.

It was undoubtedly the strongest class. Overpowered even, compared to the other two, but I still played melee characters mostly. Because I'm obstinate
