You haven't heard of Aveline? Man, where have you been?

Well, the bad news is that its been confirmed that Aveline is NOT an LI.

And now that your heart is broken, here read this:
Cheer up 
                  by Cosmin


As disappointment may be present in this thread,
I am putting this down before going to bed.
We have fought long and hard,
And for that we should be proud.

We've lost nothing, we gained a friend
Who will fight beside us till the end.
As the sun sets, I say good night
Everyone keep a smile and be polite.

Anyway, we could argue back and forth all day about whether Aveline would want to romance Hawke, but I doubt it would make Bioware release a "romance Aveline" DLC. So for this thread the romance debate will be summarized thusly:

"The beauty of the rose is revealed when the thorns are brushed aside."
And with those wise words we describe the rose that is Aveline, stalwart companion for DA2. With her expertise in Knightly combat and her lion's heart she has won a large fanbase here on the forums, and swept many a blushing Hawke off his feet.

1) THIS THREAD...
Dołączona grafika...was originally a speculation thread about the mysterious red-headed warrior first seen in this screenshot:

But then she showed just how tough an "Orlesian Wallflower" can be, displaying meelee hardiness to rival Hawke's own!

Turns out she is Aveline, named after the first female Knight of Orlais!

But this strong warrior is not without a caring side.

Aveline is shown reacting to her husband's death above, but is still too tough to cry. This has inspired much "aww"ing and some fanart:

Notice the candle-light outline of her husand on the wall.[/quote]


Now Aveline has garnered a fanbase of Hawkes  who see the first real female warrior companion as a worthy comrade, or even lover...

[quote]blothulfur wrote...

In the shadows he waited, silent and unseen his sunken eyes watching every swing of the blade and his keen ears listening for every grunt of exertion, it was his task to watch and wait but of late something other than faultless service had driven him to watch her, something he feared had no place in the Qun.

Twice he had considered asking to be relieved of this onerous duty and twice his courage had failed, what excuse could he give to the Arishok that would not be lie or lechery revealed. No the Qun had placed a temptation in his path and he must prove himself the equal of it or lose himself to the way of the tal'vashoth forever.

"Anaan esaam Qun", he murmured hands twisting into huge fists and his young horned brow furrowing in concentration. He would not damn himself to that, not now, not ever.

A nearby sound whispered from the darkness and a raider more cunning than his brethren emerged from the shadows to level a crossbow at the captain of the guards undefended back and hiss, "With compliments from Castillon Aveline".

"Aveline". The name rumbled forth from the darkness and the raider found himself looking up into burning violet eyes that studied him for a brief moment before returning to the red haired rose who was captain of the kirks guard. "No such a woman will not die by a thiefs hand".

The raider felt the brief urge to argue this point with the qunari but suddenly realised that his body had not turned in tandem with his head and that the click he had heard scant moments before was not in fact the crossbow but his spine, his last words as the qunari dropped his limp bodies would have shrivelled the ears of a fishwife but he was in no position to breathe let alone speak.

Later a distraught Aveline would kneel by the thugs side and study the huge bruises that marked his broken neck and the loaded crossbow that lay nearby her brow furrowed in irritation, had Hawke hired some thug to watch her back while on patrol or was this some vigilante stalking low town. By the Maker she would know the answer and punish the varlet whether he had saved her life or not, the law in the kirk was hers to uphold and no one else's.[/quote]

Actually, she seems to me like a starting tank for you until you get your real one. Her being a married housewife contributes to this idea. Exactly why would she help out Hawke on his rise to power?

*SPOILERS*


After making my way through part of the Blightlands, Hawke's family ran into an injured Templar, Wesley and his body builder of a wife, Aveline.

The article later shows a screenshot of Aveline kicking ass with a sword/shield.

First female warrior companion that (probably) doesn't die early! She's gonna be in my party all the time! :D :D :D


Hmm ...

I didn't know they are celibate, they just can't have relationships with the mages they protect in the tower.

Also that one templar in the tower had a demon as a wife, so ...

I'm slightly hesitant over whether or not she's going to be a full-time companion, especially with the whole ten year spread thing, but a female tank? Awesome. (Her not dying after about twenty minutes would be nice too. Just saying.)



Is it bad that I'm slightly more excited about different body types? I kind of hope that's the default build for female warriors, but I imagine people would get up in arms about that. (Warriors? With muscle? Preposterous!)

I'll be sort of disappointed if she's a romance along with Gypsy-Pirate lady, meaning that we'd already be stuck with two human romance options. Although the templar husband throws a wrench in that theory, it wouldn't be out of the question that she's some sort of uber-Carth.

You know the article later says that his party of 5 quickly dwindles down to 4 and that he won't ruin the surprise by telling us who dies.



How can you be so sure Aveline doesn't die in this encounter leaving us with a whiny Templar named Wesley?



I mean I certainly hope not but there's no way to be sure.

Oh man, I really hope they don't go that route.

The fact that this game spans a decade, giving us a real chance to see some character/relationship growth, is what makes this game so exciting.

Although I suppose the fully voiced protagonist, better looking art style, and beefed up combat are pretty exciting too.

It is probably a famous name for people who wanted to name their children after a hero, but that alone let's me doubt she will become another great warrior women with the same name.

I noticed the muscle too. I am hoping that we can have varying body types. That way, my Lady Hawke warrior will actually look like she can swing a sword.
