If it serves to add depth to the storyline, then why not bring in the possibility of having children?

[Mecha Tengu]

I'm not going to stay home and play a video game in where I stay home and raise a kid.

[Russalka]

The growing up part would be done in the timeshift.

[Mecha Tengu]

fighting with children will give you plot armour I guess....

LOL, I see your point.  Kind of like in Shenmue, where you had to get up and go to work in game.

[Russalka]

Hawke has enough living family to ensure that the child is raised and kept safe no doubt. Unless he or she comes to Kirkwall alone to estates without any relatives.

OP should play the upcoming Fable 3, if (s)he is interested in becoming the ruler of a nation while also conceiving as many offspring as wanted.

The OP just asked if it was possible, but never said anything about even wanting one. And in fact he/she said the way it was handled in Fable 2 sounded bad.

What is so disturbing about it? It's a thread asking if the protagonist can get pregnant. Is that concept really that disturbing?

I don't know why everyone is assuming it will have to be like Fable, where children, like relationships in general, are completely unimportant to the story. Lots of epic tales include procreation. It doesn't have to be some silly little side thing like in Fable. If it adds to the story, then why not?

Now before the "hurr hurr you want to pump out kids the whole game" gun is turned on me, no, I don't really care if such a thing is possible or not. I'm simply not discarding the idea outright because some other game handled it in a way some people disliked.

So what you do is report it to one of the many mods if you have a problem with the thread.




As for the topic at hand the only reason I see this being a possibility is if Hawke (male or female) having a child in some way impacts the over all story for the Dragonage setting. If that is the case I doubt you would get an answer for a juicy bit of the story like that.
As it is I doubt thise will even be a possibility in DA2.

Yus, i agree on this post! Tis what i wanted to say further up too!
Whats wrong with getting kids? Why so some of you suddenly act like the idea of pregnancy is something superweird? Its not like i need it in the game, or any game for that matter. But if it adds to the story, then ye, why the hell not? There are few things as emotionally understandable as the relationship between parent and child.

On that note, I actually don't know if I'd like to have kids in DA2. It depends, I suppose. How much of an obligation are they? Do they get kidnapped (if so, no, keep the nasty little monsters away)? What about non-human LIs, do you have kids with them? Not to mention the mysterious status as "Champion". I still don't know what that's supposed to entail. If it's like a noble title, does your child get it? What if their, like, half-elf or something?



Personally, I think this would be interesting from a male perspective--you knock up your LI, go away for a year, come back and BAM--baby!

I think I would like it in the epilogue...
not so sure about in game... but I certainly wouldn’t like it to be impossible
with you LI (as it was with Alistair...)

Ye sure, its quiet easier to handle for a male Hawke. But if u are the Champion of Kirkwall, than u can afford a something like a day mother. Not to mention that nobles usually seldom raised there kids themself in a medieval setting. Loghain said the same about Anora, that he seldomly saw her, due to his duties etc.

Tbh i think that depends a lot on the person u got to have the children with. A Child with Zevran for example, thats what i can imagine. Zevran had this thing to really really care about the few things that are dire to him. (the other LI had it too, but Leliana... well, i didnt think she was ready for childs. She wanted to travel and didnt strike me as the motherly type.)

Interesting Question anyways: What LI from Origins could u see in the role of a parent the most? And what kind of LI do you wish for in DA 2 -> Always in terms to the topic please. Meaning: What kind of LI would u like to have a Child with your Hawke?

[namedforthemoon]

I can't imagine my Lady Hawke having a baby... Granted, it's ten years and if you're in a relationship with someone, it would make sense for it to happen, but... Would she have to spend nine months, getting bigger and waddling around and your armor not fitting or your boots because your feet are so swollen... Not to mention giving birth... Eww... Then you have to feed and change the little bugger. But I guess if you're the champion of kirkwall, you can afford a nanny and a wetnurse. At least, I'd hope so.

A bunch of off-topic comments removed.

I don't see the point unless having children is a functional part of the game.  Obviously the child can't be old enough to be a potential companion.  The Maker only knows what they might have planned for DA3.  I guess it would be neat if we could have a child to import into a future game.

On a less related note, I'd rather have a small animal to raise as a companion.

I think the child would grow to be about Orin's age, depending on when it was that he or she was born.

I can see a weird little half-Varric running around.

[Estelindis]

I'd like it if it was possible for Hawke to have kids. It would certainly be a change from most video game characters, whose families only seem to exist as part of tragic backstories. (Hawke's parents and siblings seem to add credit to this too.)

Also, I think that putting Lady Hawke in the topic title is fair game, considering that the male Warden in DA:O can have a child as part of the main plot, whereas the female Warden cannot (and can end up being *dumped* by her love interest as a consequence - what a gutting scene!).

In the "Sharpe" series by Bernard Cornwall, Sharpe got a resistance fighter pregnant. After having the child, she had her family care for the child (if I remember correctly) and went back to resistance fighting. So, it is possible for an adventurer to have a child and continue with the story. In DA2, I am assuming you will be living at your mother's estates. Not only will your mother be available to help rear the child, but you will have servants. Plus, not all of that 10 years is spent on the road. Only segments of that time frame. This means you will get quality time with your potential offspring. In short, it is very possible to have a child and still change the world.

[LucianTansey]

I think its more than feasable if properly executed. Hasnt it been said somewhere that Hawke's parent(s) are knocking about still? Why couldnt they take care of the child? And it would be quite feasable to skip the pregnancy/early childhood stages, as the game must surely time-shift forwards at some point if its over a decade.

The chance of getting a half-dwarf baby is extremely low (because dwarf babies are already rare as it is) and a half-elf child would still be human. I also doubt they'd hate Hawke for having an Elf as a lover because he's the mother****ing Heavyweight Champion of Kirkwall!

I did get the impression that Hawke wouldnt really care what others think of her/him being together with an elf.
Atleast i have the feeling that Hawke isnt getting Champion of Krikwall by pleasing the crowds. More by seizing opportunitys and "getting **** done".

[Tooneyman]

Best thing I liked about Origins was the fact of baby's with your main character maybe bioware would keep this option open for your hawke. I don't see why they wouldn't, but when it comes down to it and I've said it once and I'll say it again. It all depends on the budget. I just hope they don't through anymore god baby story lines they can't seem to work with in anymore. This will just make fans want to spit on ground at their feet which is called disrespect. I will always say this. Don't write something if you can't fully finish it.

[OriginsIsBest]

No. She can't, because she is an ugly dog and Varric will never love her.
