Were you the one who was originally advocating her? Because I commend you sir--I like how she looks--tough, but still pretty. Wild, but still feminine. Morrigan really never looked "wild" to me--I loved her look, and thought it fit her well, but she always had a refined elegance to her, rather than a wild one.

This woman:





Looks like a leader and a warrior and a woman. I know we're not going to see her in there, but her general look, the attitude I see with it, is what I'd like to see in Marian.

No that wasn't me, but I agree with you.  And I think it's funny having that guy in normal streetclothes in the same picture.  Like will we get Waterproof Outdoor Jacket as an armor in DA2?

Unless you mod her appearance Morrigan wears patch-work of a dress made from random scraps of leather, "makeup" from some berries smeared across her eyes and as garish collection of various jewelry as she can obtain from the warden in addition to her already sizable collection. She has natural good looks, but is on totally opposite end from 'refined elegance'

There's another thread along the exact same lines called 'Dear Bioware'

... Is there a mod who can merge the two? People are basically having the same disussion in two different place!

The other thread degraded into a "guy gamers are more important than female gamers" thing, so I created this thread. I'd rather not have them merged, as this thread is going quite well.

Oops, my bad. I didn't realize the change was done on purpose!

Why not? Trailer Hawke uses a streak of red lipstick across his face.

I'll just throw my lot in with the Olga Kurylenko crowd here, she looks awesome in Centurion and was one of the better things about Quantum of Solace.

real female warriors probably look like the East German swimming team from the 1960s... but really who wants a female Hawke to have an Adam's apple and sound like the male Hawke?  

[M.S. Rose]

Yeah for real! I think it's about time they show the woman! Jeeeez.

[Vandrayke]

Rhona Mitra and Olga Kurylenko. Both are epic wins! But Rhona Mitra looks more like Actionchick.

I think I'll stick with the idea that it was red lipstick, you perverted sicko, you.

Yeeessss!! I can't wait to see sneak previews of Marian Hawke! I'm really looking forward to this. I get that male Hawke is the face of DA2 and all that -- no complaints whatsoever -- marketing is marketing. I just want to see the female protagonist somewhere on the website. I remember when Mass Effect 2 was coming out -- all the female gamers were psyched to see if there were any improvements to the Jane Shepard model because John Shepard looked awesome. Tons of John Shepard and crew wallpapers/avatars/screenshots went up. Even avatars of creepy, icky aliens left and right were available for fans to use. No Jane Shepard. Not one. The female fans were at the mercy of those who got their hands on the game early and started leaking screenshots or videofootage until a ME moderator took pity and uploaded three official screenshots of female Shepard to the website three days before ME2 launched everywhere.



I am not saying that DA is like this at all. I was elated that they had both male and female wallpapers up for the DAO races. I'm just sharing what drives people to make threads like this because we just want to share in the excitement and have a kickass wallpaper or screenshot on our desktop of the female ideal we'll be playing. That's all.

I shamefully hadn't realised she was the same woman as in Quantum of Solace, who I also thought was really hot. I guess that makes sense =P.

Dang, I want to see Fem!Hawke! But not enough to have flown to Germany today just to see the demo.

Oh yes, I like her a lot. Now I want to see the movie.

The movie is just ok. I did like the battle scenes and Etain (girl in the pics) but felt that her character was horribly underused. Still I did enjoy seeing what I watched the movie for. Her.

I wasn't sure how to word it, but I don't mean "refined" a la Anora or Isolde. I simply mean she keeps her hair sleek and glossy, her make-up is fairly immaculate (if obviously there), her "ragged strips" are arranged very artfully with her raven feathers, her jangly necklace looks like it came out of a jewelers...

I liked her description in the Codex--she had a "critical eye" for beauty. It's clear to me she cares a lot, and it's not the "rag-tag" beauty she wants to exude. Not bad, of course--most women want to look beautiful without trying; their fashion sense great without being obvious. You know. "Oh, this old thing? I just threw it on", when previously you spent three hours in the bathroom.

Of course, Etain's beauty (just found out the wild-woman's name) is done to precisely look wild and beautiful and fierce, but I think they do a good job attaining just that.

This is from a movie, right? Someone able to tell me the name of said movie?

[namedforthemoon]

I think it's "In the name of the king: A dungeon siege tale".

Edit: Ah, no, it's Joan of Arc.

No, not Joan. Searched imdb for both titles, found the character in a shot from A dungeon siege tale.
Thanks, though.

I want to be able to make a barbaric woman

[SirGladiator]

I too support seeing Lady Hawke. Certainly if she is indeed very 'hot' as was said earlier, then she should be in as many pictures, trailers, etc. as possible, as they would surely lead to far more interest in the game than would the male character we've already seen quite a bit of. Certainly if the marketing folks have any sense then she will be featured in the next trailer....of course given the poor marketing for the ME series I don't actually think they 'do' have the sense though . Their minds seem to live in the pre-Lara Croft days, where it was just assumed that female lead characters didn't appeal to gamers. Now we know they appeal not just equally well but even more than male characters, at least the attractive ones do . So if she's as nice looking as Mike said, then let's see her!

[namedforthemoon]

I think that since Male Hawke has a pelt of some sort across his back, this particular woman would fit Female Hawke pretty well, at least, clothing-wise.

[Special_Agent_Goodwrench]

Stop posting pictures of Etain damnit! The more I see her, the more I want to create Hawke who looks like her. Oh god, I hope we'll be able to.

Sorry, she's just so beautiful and Hawke-like, for me. She's got Bethany's dark ringlets and Garret's animal pelt...  I'll try to stop posting her.
