Look if the wardens story is done, Just f**king kill him/her off already, so the rest of us can stop hoping and leave DA in the dust.
The warden is my character, My story, it seems pointless to me to play as Bioware's Hawke.
Seconded! ^.^
Heh...
Hawke: I should go.
Warden: Yes you f**king should.
Morrigan: Indeed.
Hawke: I will just be going then...*Turns to leave*
*Godbaby blows Hawke up with super amazing lazer from his eyes.*
*laughs maniacally as she dances on Hawke's ashes* Yay!
Rotf. Too funny. 
I would rather my warden P*SS on Hawke's ashes.
Screw Hawke, I want the warden. If they don't give us more warden DA is DEAD for me.
Well said.
Also well said. This is part of why I am still on the fence about getting Dragon Age 2. I've really enjoyed the first one but as I played it more the amount of bugs, both minor and major started to get on my nerves and I find it nothing short of unprofessional that Bioware have missed the amount they did, it reminds me too much of Oblivion. Especially when I played through Mass Effect twice and never encountered a thing wrong with it. I know Bioware can do better, they can make mindblowing experiences.
But anyway, my original point was, why should I care for Hawke when my Warden character is one I have looked after, who I made the way I want and have played for hours. Hawke won't be my character, it will be stepping into someone elses and not one I will feel any sort of bond with.
Now if it turns out due to some wierd time travel technobabble (perhaps involving a collision between a DeLorean and a Blue Police Box?) that Hawke is indeed the offspring of Morrigan and the Warden then I would jump off that fence in an instant and get the game, so at least I can play as Warden Junior and kick ass the way his parents did. As long as there are no bugs mind.
Yeah... I don't think that's going to be the case, though. I think Hawke is a completely new player. In Gameinformer, August issue, I think it was, this is what they said in regard to Hawke and DA2. "Dragon Age is not merely the story of a Grey Warden slaying the archdemon and quelling the Blight. Your exploits in Dragon Age: Origins made the world a safer place, but Ferelden isjust one nation on the continent of Thedas (which is complete bull since Hawke's story still takes place in Ferelden). As you crossed swords with the dark spawn, other denizens of the world - from Orlais to Rivain - fought their own battles for survival and renown. Dragon Age is a multifaceted fiction, and a single game, novel or comic can only shine a light in one piece at a time. With Dragon Age II, BioWare is shifting its focus to a new region, a new hero, and a new tale will shape the larger Dragon Age universe. While the Hero of Ferelden was rallying allies against Teryn Loghain, a new legend was stirring in the doomed village of Lothering."
There you have it, I typed iy word for word, minus my little () addition. There were also a few more quotes (well, okay, a lot more) that led me to believe that Hawke will have virtually nothing to do with the Warden and that DA2 is unlikely to resolve many, if any, of DA:O's cliffhangers. Like "Who is the Champion of Kirkwall? Some citizens of the Free Marches will tell you that he survived the destrustion of Lothering. They say he found something in the deepest parts of the abandoned dwarven kingdoms. Some claim he is a powerful mage, while others swear he is a unstoppable warrior."
"Hawke is a legend in his own time, and like all legends, his history is shrouded in speculation, mystery, and exaggeration. ( [insert eye roll here] )He escaped Lothering as it was razed by the darkspawn, then fled to Kirkwell, a major city in the Free Marches north of Ferelden. But what happened between his escape and his rise to prominence? The answer to that question is the driving narrative force behind Dragon Age II"
Yeah, that's not extremely cliche and a poor attempt to make this premade character sound more appealing.
"As Dragon Age II opens, all plyers will know for certain that they are Hawke, the Champion of Kirkwall, and his story is theirs to define." ...Not. That sentence contradicts itself a bit, in my opinion. They say in the article that Hawke's story takes place in the past, during the Blight, from the sounds of it, and the game is actually a narrative of people and, I
think Hawke himself, telling this new character's story. But it's still pretty much predetermined from the get go, despite BioWare's insistence that it actually gives us more choices, rather than less.
"When compared to Origins' selection of race and origin stories, Dragon Age II may appear more limited. However, with the beginning of Hawke's tale predetermined, players aren't making fewer choices; more choices are just being made as the story progresses, rather than a character creation screen before you start playing."
They go on to justify their creation of Hawke as a replacement for the Warden due to voice acting. Saying that with Hawke they can have the main character actually talk and whatnot. I personally don't care if my character doesn't actually have voiced dialogue. The ability to create my own personal character and to make choices for that character, coupled with the knowledge that this character is MINE, completely obliterated my concern for voice acting. Seriously, if it's a choice between having a silent character that is MINE or having a premade BioWare one just so I can hear him take... I will choose MY character every time.
The article says quite a bit that was disheartening, and also indicated that the questions left in Origins would NOT be answered in Dragon Age II, but it's a very long article and I don't feel typing more. The more I reread, the more depressed I get about the whole thing.
