 Look at this guy here.

Image IPB

Trimmed little beard. Given himself a little blood smear across his face. Hangs out with his sister. I think we can agree that this guy is, to say the least, a wee bit of a ******.

So Bioware, what we need is dialogue options that support the ****edness that Hawke deserves. Every conversation should allow you to be a rude, sarcastic, ever-so-slightly camp bastard. Let us right hook old women, annoying merchants, the disabled, whoever. If you talk to Hawke you risk a hooking. Let us respond to a dying slave with "Don't bleed on my shoes, these are new,". Give us a quest to choose between two guilds, with a third option to ruin them both. Not even for money, just because Hawke is a dick. Let us spread STDs among the brothels, not because we enjoy the sex but because STDs make Hawke happy.

Being a generic, human, rags-to-riches hero is fine if we can do a second playthrough as an unbelievable ****.

I think you'll be satisfied with how much of a jerk you can be in DA2.



I saw a scene yesterday that was really, really cool. My only complaint afterwards - probably less than 5% of the players will ever see it because it pretty much involves being the biggest jerk ever.

Lol! There were some good ones like that in DA:O, too. Thank God for you tube, is all I can say. Someone will play that, and then I won't have to make my somach hurt trying to do it. ;)


Heh. I'm the same way - I can't be a bad guy in these games. In KOTOR, I tried to be Dark Side, but ended up only getting about halfway through before it fizzled out.

Renegade in ME/ME2 was always easier, somehow. I didn't feel like I was being evil so much as a big, efficient jerk. And that, I was okay with.

But yes. There are opportunities aplenty to be a total prat in DA2.

*wonders if there's an awesome cutscene that 5% of the nicest types get*


There are definitely some pretty cool moments that you get if you're a nicer person, yeah. And note that other people may not see it as the 'biggest jerk ever' moment - I just couldn't help but think that I would never, ever get that scene.

Sneak in a couple of "renegade interrupts" and all set.


If I can't kick someone out a window in DA2, I'm cancelling my preorder! I want a video of real window-kicking gamepl...

I hope the dialogue wheel is clear on the jerk options.


It is very difficult to accidentally be a jerk. Moreover, it is very difficult to accidentally be a jerk consistently.

I loved this thread, but it feels like it's cheating on me now. 'Twas nice to see some devs posting, especially John since Ithink he always says more than he's supposed to. Keep him talking!


A dev never says more than intended, nor does he say less. He says precisely what he means to.
