I think it could be fantastic, if handled maturely, and it added to the story. And if it adds to the story, there's a good chance that we may get Hawke babies. 10 years is a long time, and I think it would be nice to either have multiple romance over the ten years, or perhaps get married and have a kid. The choice is yours.
Yeah, I'd really like that.

I'm confused. Is the game ten years long or does it take place ten years from DA:O?

IS this game 10 years long I WISH!!!! no it takes place 10 years from DA:O 

Well. Wish granted. It's ten years long. It starts during DAO, spans ten years.

I know that Saibh JEEZ  i meant the actual game takes 10 years to complete

"Is this game 10 years long I WISH!!!! no..."

?

Then what did that mean?

"It takes place 10 years from DA:O"

?

This is a good question and the OP has a valid point. If Hawkette starts the game say 20 or so, by the time the game ends she'll be 30. We don't have any reason to think she'll live 200 years, so that's a good chunk of her life right there. I'm thinking she would want to have a kid or two by then. PLUS, we know she's going to end up running the show up in Kirkwall.... and a major duty of any sovereign is to provide for the succession.

I would love a BioWare comment in here.

Wow... wait a sec... she can be a mother after 30... no need to rush things, especially motherhood 

Waiting to have kids until after your thirties is an extremely modern phenomenon. It doesn't really make sense in a pseudo-medieval setting, IMO. Granted, Lady Hawke will be busy and maybe not plan to settle down at all, but considering she'll be reaching a position of power I'd have thought that it would be prudent of her to have kids earlier rather than later.

I think you both have points, but yeah, I'm thinking that most Thedas chicks have kids before they are thirty.  I mean, I have no demographics, but for a fantasy-medieval setting, it would make sense to have them young and then keel over young.  

Hawkette will have her Arthur, I'm sure... and maybe her Lancelot too.  So long as she doesn't have her own Jamie.  Augh!

If we go with the idea that Hawkette is going to eventually unite all of known Thedas in a single empire to, she will have to have heirs or DA3 will be a "War of Daidochi" which might be a little grand in scale for a single game.

we had a thread like this  if you want, you can take something interesting written in there and write it here for discussion.


here are some parts i wrote:

"being a parent in a rpg is something that has lots of potential mostly due to the fact of how pratically untouched the subject is. i'd love it if bioware explored more on this since they said family is a very important theme in DA2 and let's face it, what a more powerful theme of family than to start your own?"

"that's another thing, being able to teach your kid the stuff you've learned through the years."

party banter of hawke's child and possible party members (in this case, a tal'vashoth):

"kid: are you a qun'ari?
qun'ari party member(qun for short XD): no
kid: but you look like one, horns and everything
qun: being qun'ari is a belief, i am no longer part of the qun.
kid: why?
qun: because i chose to follow hawke
kid: why?
qun: i'll talk about this matter no more
kid: why?
qun: i hate children."

................ People really want to spend their DA2 experience staying up late and changing diapers?.... To each their own I suppose.

1. We already covered this earlier.

2. Doubt there's diapers on Thedas.

[Ayanna Nyx]

Personally I'd just rather have a really excellent story to follow than deal with character offspring. I recently played Fable II and I wasn't all that impressed in general. I completed the damn thing but I just kept thinking, not as good as DA. And even though the having a family etc was interesting initially, it didn't bring a benefit whatsoever. Maybe if it was done properly, I don't know. But as I said, I'm more interested in the story, general gameplay.

I think I'd like the new possibilities presented by Hawke being a parent... For one thing I think it'd be interesting if there's a villain who threatens Hawke's kid(s), and possibly kills them. If the writers wanted to make this really dark (and gut wrenching) fantasy that could happen (would be especially dark if the kid dying is a canon storyline - like it's impossible to save Shandra Jerro in NWN2 or Yoshimo in BG2, or both Ashley and Kaidan in ME).
...
I wouldn't want that though... I would want to be able to save Hawke's babies.

Or Flemeth could have something to do with the kid....  A little Merlin and Arthur action?   Say Hawkette's Love Interest lays dying at the end of the first "chapter" of the game.  Flemeth steps out of the shadows and says, "One more night with them, wouldn't that be sweet?  Even my power is only enough to heal them for this one night...  I'll do it, but any child will be mine to raise."  Hawkette, of course, agrees.

That sets up...  "Dragon Age 3:  Morrigan's God-Baby versues Flemeth's Hawkette-Baby:  Show down in Orlais:  The Revenge:  Part 2:  The Return"  You know what I mean.  It would be awesome.

Understandable... but having a little Hawkette running around would certainly add a new layer to the story.  It might even make some people question how their Hawkette spend the first chunk of the game behaving!

As for Fable II, there's a reason they gave up on the PC port.

My hawke has no plans of getting himself pregnant.

"getting himself pregnant" Did anybody find that part...well..

[Ayanna Nyx]

It's something I thought would have been interesting in a game, but as I said in my last post, when I played Fable II I saw that it just didn't work. I often found myself thinking *sigh* I'd better go and check on my lazy-arsed hubby and kids lol But there was nothing much you could do apart from throw presents at them and then get on with the story.

i think the fact that Mr. Woo thought this was a spam thread is a hint at how likely this is going to be in the game, not that I would mind it, but I don't think the chances are good.

Oh I don't think it will be in the game either, its just humerous that some do want it

[sw33t nothings]

Life doesn't end after babies. This is all just speculation, and my bias opinion, but I feel like it could be done in such a way that you get all the fun, emotional parts of starting a family without a diaper changing mini game.

Also, if you have a 'rise to power' often people of nobility and of greater means in that time period didn't even nurse their own kids, so I don't think it's a stretch to have a child then continue on adventuring after, then have a tearful reunion with your family. After all, love is something worth fighting for.

I just think that if it's done well (and I doubt Bioware would put something this big in the game if they didn't have the confidence to pull it off properly) it could be a fantastic addition to the game. DA2 is about family, after all, isn't it?

[Sjofn]

Wanting your character to have a spouse and kids doesn't mean you want a diaper changing mini-game, yeesh.


EDIT: Haha, the poster above me had the same diaper changing mini-game thought.

I'd be a horrible parent, but that aside, I think it could add an interesting dynamic to the family relationship thing. Seeing as it's been stated that how you react to certain events during the opening chapter can impact your relationships to the characters, this might be neat to see. I just do NOT want to change diapers in a mini-game - nope. *chuckle*

You should have seen this town before Sheriff Woo it cleaned up.

Which maaaaaybe is a hint of how likely it will be in the game.  :)

Perhaps when she got older you could start playing as her child, an individual you would have helped form.

Just speculating.

Wouldn't work when the story is about Hawke.

Wait a minute, Hawke's child would also have Hawke's last name... making them Hawke.

You might be on to something.

I heard if you beat the entire game without dying once, you unlock a hidden scene of Lady Hawke having hot steamy butt secks.

What is this I don't even

[lv12medic]

Wouldn't a pregnant lady Hawke require extra dialogue options like "wildly fluctuating hormones" option?



It'd have to blur the lines between aggressive, sarcastic, happy, sad, and humorous into an amorphous blob of confusing dialogue that freaks out all the male characters during the middle of the conversation.

Well It could work like...
"You're pregnant." 
"NO WAI"

And then there's a huge timeskip for 6-7 (considering they could just hide the pregnancy / not make it show for 2-3 months) months of the ten years.
