I assume she's more practical and blunt than 'motherly.' I can see her being the protective type.

This.

I'm intending to play my Hawke as a ruthless man who gets things done for the greater good, like Loghain without the paranoia, and I'm hoping Aveline can serve as the Ser Cauthrien to my Loghain. Except, y'know, they're going at it like rabbits when not looking official and intimidating in their massive armor.

I agree. I don't see her as being Wynne-like at all. From her quote on her character page, I can totally see her being very protective over the people around her, but I don't expect to get lectured at. :happy:

I guess it depends on what you think qualities a good mother should have are. You can gaurentee that she would teach her kids how to beat a darkspawn to death with their bare hands, much better than say her sowing torn shirts.

I have no interest in Aveline... i wish they put a more feminine woman in her place. I'm going to play a mage so that only leaves Isabele as a possibly likable female

the page count of this thread compared to other character threads speaks for how popular this character is... and her appeal as a LI

That does indeed sound like a great situation, from the story's point of view. Seeing as how we don't have companion trailers like we did in Origins, it's very hard to make heads or tails regarding their character. I consider this a good thing, because this entitles us to a lot of surprises.

If Aveline does indeed prove a LI (I hope), it will be very interesting to see both situations, good/evil. 
If I choose to make a good Hawke, then maybe there will be some cute moments when he is trying to make her move on from the death of her husband. For the jerk/bad Hawke, I like the situation you listed above.

You're not going to like every character. Bioware has never intended to make every female party member suit everybody's tastes. That's why Bioware gals run the gamut from feminine Leliana to brawny Branwen.

But I like Aveline.

[Maria Caliban]

If BioWare made characters based on nothing but the size of their respective threads, we'd never get another female character again.

It's fine that Aveline doesn't appeal to you. I like a wide range of characters and think she's delightful.

Leliana was a very 'girly' character. I enjoyed her as well but wouldn't want every female companion to be that way. There are women who love dressing up, dancing, and shoes, but there are also women who are more earthy. The kind you can just sit back and enjoy a beer with. Who's comfortable in jeans and enjoys spending the day hiking and the night sitting out under the stars like other women enjoy shopping sprees and cocktail parties.

Aveline strikes me as that kind of woman.

Slap a bag over her head and you're good to go.

Concerning the fact that we know little about the character, I find it very normal that the situation is so. Myself, I have no idea what to make of her, but I like the character Aveline mainly because she is different (the red hair may also be an important element for me ). And that's one of the main things BioWare tries to bring with DA2, something different.

Leliana was a really great character and LI, but all her girlish aspects really made me roll my eyes (she reminded me of most women here in my country) and it's a breath of fresh air to have another type of female character.

I wish we had a proper video of Aveline punching the taint out of that hurlock.

There are such creatures as feminine women, who, if crossed would have no problem drop kicking you to the moon. They may even flirt and giggle sometimes (but would likely cringe at the words rather it a laugh and being seductive. Still, they are also the women who can sit down for a beer, joke with the men without always taking offence, and still be feminine.



I love having a wide selection of character types to spend my time with. EVEN taking into consideration the types of characters I enjoyed before. Kind of like: I had fun with Zevran, but I don't want another carbon copy Zevran.



It is kind of like the thread a while ago about Cassandra and her short hair. I personally liked the look, and the character ( from what I saw of it) - Having narrow roles limits things, to me, personally. To each their own though. I love it when the writers come up with something no-body expects, even characters that don't necessarily accept or even LIKE you. It keeps things interesting.



Aveline reminds me of what I imagine a Norse goddess to be like if human. (in appearance)

[s0meguy6665]

I just hope i can kill potential companions instead of having to recruit them... If yes then it's bye bye Aveline.

Wow.

Let me guess, you're one of those sociopaths that purposefully gets Jack/Tali/Miranda/Whoever killed on the ME2 suicide mission.

[crimzontearz]

I think you can choose not to rescue Aveline + her husband (even if he dies anyway) thus saving both carver and bethany



least that is what I heard

This.

It's such a simple thing to become overly attached to particular types of characters/companions in RPGs. However, what sets BioWare apart from all the other developers who either create or have created RPGs is that they always *do* try something new with not only thier stories but the character through which elements of the story, or even the story as a whole, are experienced.

In Origins we recieved the Witch with the massive chip on her soulder and an almost Shakespearean tradegy brewing in the wings. Also there was Leliana, seemingly the embodiment of gentle grace and charm mixed with quite a bit of Valley Girl and a dab of psychological instability (nothing wrong with just a *little* bit of crazy.-Laughs-Eyelashes indeed.) But, both of these character resided on completely opposite ends of the spectrum and, again, this is where BioWare excells. Giving us companions and LIs who sometimes make us reconsider what draws us to people and how we, in turn, are altered by that if at all. 

Aveline would appear to be as distant from the aforementioned previous LIs as possible...though there may be some small measure of Leliana's desire to do good, however tempered by an almost Loghain like determination to see no one else hurt by Darkspawn or any other evil in the world. We know so little about her, yet of the female companions revealed thus far she is the most compelling. If she does prove to be a LI (I hope) I have the feeling Luke is going to make us work for that relationship. On a side note, I can't help but see Aveline as more akin to a Celtic Warrior Queen then something out of Norse Mythology. Maybe it's the lack of things like a Brunhilda vibe, blond hair, and thick pig-tails.

I don't know about Aveline, but Bethany or Carver dies depending on wich class you are, you can't save both.
