If you look REALLY closely at Hawke's face in the video, at that moment he actually smirks a bit. Its just hard to notice because of the beard, and his thin lips.

Really not seeing anything like that there; his head just turns to right and left driven by autotracking as Isabela's character comes closer and his brows rise after she speaks.. which creates rather unfortunate effect -- Hawke's eyes are bit odd, the irises are placed high and are quite large, and in that particular sequence they move up to the point where they get half obscured by the upper eyelid... it makes him look like he's either extremely tired or drugged, and really not paying attention whatsoever.

Given Mr.Epler's comment how the facial animations aren't really put in until the last minute, could it be you're imagining something that just isn't there but you expect to be? It's not unusual to see a "subtle emotion" in what's actually a neutral expression (Mona Lisa's "smile" e.g.)


I just hope they don't try to force us into a relationship like femShep with Jacob.  I didn't mind Jacob, but that was just too annoying.  It got to the point where I refused to even talk to him, because I felt like such a sleeze.

Hopefully if there's this sort of thing, it only happens when you actually have a relationship with that particular person going Or for the lines intended to start one? I probably wouldn't mind Shepard acting like that in such case, it was when she was like that from the get-go that really felt jarring.

Same here!  I want to hear her voice!  Reading people's comments on the gamespot forums, there are still so many who think they can only be a male default Hawke.  Bioware should release some female Hawke gameplay.

Very true.  Yeah, I'm all for flirting, but I want to be the one to initiate it, not for it to be Hawke's choice.

BioWare is doing everything in their power to deny Marian Hawke exposure for some reason.  Can't even acknowledge her in desktop backgrounds while Garrett is featured in four!

Forgot if it was this topic or another one (think it was this one), I did talk about how DAO handled relationships far better than ME has and what with the whole friend/rivalry thing I think this will still remain the case with DA2.

Yes in DAO there were potential 'romance' lines but after that you could generally still talk to the character and in no circumstance did any of the other dialogue seem to give the impression of Warden being overly amorous of the followers.

Granted DA2 is obviously voiced, but I can't see a repeat of the way FemShep spoke to Jacob. Doubt we will see that in ME3 either due to the way people slammed the FemShep/Jacob dialogue. One other reason in particular and I don't mean any disrespect to the ME writers, I just can't see the DA writers writing such material that would make people feel the way they did about the FemShep/Jacob conversations. I think all the conversations in DAO were handled very well from both sides of the conversation. The lines played just as much a part in the aforementioned debacle as did the way it was said.

And as far as Bioware using Garrett because he's a male that appeals to male gamers, I say that's ridiculous, considering so many are disappointed because they still think they can't be a female character.

For the most part I liked what I saw.  A few comments I'd like to add.

The first thing that I noticed was the mention of a warden, I find this interesting.  Will this be our warden?
 
I thought Hawk and Isabella both looked and sounded great.  I still don't like the looks of Aveline with or without armor.  Why is MEG guy taller?  I hope you guys do something with his armor/clothing more to his concept art.  He doesn't look as good as his concept art  - rather bland actually.  I thought Flemeth looked awesome. 

As for the companions and one of them being Anders, could that also possibly be Alistair redone?  I was just wondering on this. 

Two things I don't like at all:  This dialogue wheel and the options.  I really don't like this.  I've never played ME, not my sort of game.  Second is the PC health and status bar.  I wish you guys would go back to the circles.  Those bars at the bottom are annoying.  There was nothing wrong with the circles. 

If combat is faster will we be swarmed by enemies?  I don't want battles to be over in the blink of an eye. 
I want all of my battles to be challenge when I enter into battle.

I think this was just from an early concept of the game.

perhaps in the early stages, the plan was to continue the warden's story  ( although the warden looked more like a companion than the main PC )??

That animation is from time when they were trying to decide what DA2 would be like, and there was no idea of Hawke the protagonist at this point. They were probably thinking more along lines of direct continuation of DAO at that point, with the wardens being still in the spotlight and whatnot.

My personal take on the DD

"+"
Thank god they do not use those awful artworky elves in the game - It seems that the new art style thing was exaggerated
Aveline in HA

"-"
Teleporting :pinched:
The Wheel (isn’t really new, but still)
We agreed on that blah-blah-blah instead of the game info – I am glad you like making the game but your personal preferences are not as important as the result.

Isn't there a Lady Hawke at 3:08 too? Seems to me the body has rather feminine curves. But it could be that it's not Hawke at all and I'm way off. In any case you can't make much out of that scene.

Seems to be a woman, but it looks more like Cassandra to me.

Ah, yes. I just watched the Rise to Power trailer and realized her armor matches the silhouette perfectly. Oh well, it was fun as long as it lasted...

This really wouldn't bother me.  My warden being a companion.  I remember way back when DA2 was announced that many on the forums stated the only way to get the warden into the story was to have the warden with a helmet on.  I think this would be cool actually.  The warden could be the special character from the SE?  Maybe?  Nobody, knows at this point.   This warden could also be just another warden that we're going to meet.   Could be the Orleasian Warden from Awakening as well, if there is a warden in this game.

Why was the female elf archer cut?  From the developer animation she seemed to be a really tough and gritty type, that would have been interesting.

We don't know if she will be in the game or not, not all companions have been revealed so far. There is a chance we will get a female elf (archer) companion.

I must say I think Isabela looks absolutely beautiful and her voice seems to fit her character very well (we have only heard one line from her, but so far I like it). ^^
Thumbs up for the one who designed her, it's definitely a job well done.

I really adore Hawke's voice. I was really quite worried about that beforehand, but based on that small sample I'm convinced that he'll be awesome, and well beyond the level Mark Meer has set. And british accents just work for me. :)
