Gah. If Hawke starts emoting all over the place like Hale I'm gonna be irked. I can't even play a FemShep because of her ham acting.

Really a military commander should be cool under fire. Not sounding like she wants to snuggle puppies or is off her meds.

Sure Meer sounds a bit flat but I take that over ham any day.

I hope she gets one too (with a male love interest).

Well that is what i was implying but we know that Isebella is bi so that scene in the video trailer can probably also be replaced with femHawke

-20 approval.

I don't approve of your dissapproval.

Though really I take flat over overacting any day. I can't even consider ME an rpg anymore because of the VA of Shepad. It's just an action adventure game mashed with a choose your own storyline. That's all.

I agree with your point.

It's just that I had this mental image:

Hawke: "Speak, Fenris, speak!"

Fenris: "Woof!"

Hawke: "Good boy! Have a treat."

I couldn't even understand Hawke..she makes cakes and poison? It was so lifeless it could have been she eats kids and throws up and I wouldn't have cared

I have to agree with this. I'd be ashamed to make Hawke a warrior with that voice because he sounds like a wuss

We'll have to agree to disagree. It's not about what one expects, it's about what one is allowed to imagine. Mass Effect is extremely limited in that sense as the amount of variation possible between different Sheppards wasn't very great. It really wasn't what I was referring to--I don't actually consider it a roleplaying game.

Agreeing to disagree is fine.    Let's do that.    For the record (just to respond to what you said here), I felt one of the only things DA:O was missing in RPing terms was the voiced, named main character as in Mass Effect.  Having people address my character by her actual name felt much more personal to me than plain old "Warden."  (Initially I thought DA:O would take the "Shepard" approach when it made my elf a Tabris by default.  It took me a while to figure out why only two of the Origins use one's last name much - only two of them make you famous enough for most people to know your name without difficulty.)  I actually found the "Warden" thing especially glaring because Alistair was in my party all the time - either people are ignoring him by calling me Warden, or he gets named but I don't.  It just broke my immersion.  As for the voice, I find it makes my character feel more actively a part of the world (rather than this gaping, personality-free void that my silent Warden often felt like beside characters like Alistair and Morrigan - yes, I can fill in the blanks with imagination, but I can do that with *anything*, certainly including a fully-voiced game; if we're going to take the approach that giving us extra stuff stifles imagination, then Bioware might as well sell me an empty box and tell me to have at it).

Honestly, given my opinions here, you can imagine how delighted I was when I found out that DA2 would intregrate the only two things I thought DA:O was missing.  But I feel sympathetic towards you if you feel Dragon Age is moving further and further away from the roleplaying approach that you want for it.  We invest emotionally in these wonderful games quite a lot, and whenever something we care about changes in a way that we dislike it's upsetting.

Yes, I think we approach roleplaying from opposite ends of the spectrum, but I can agree with you that it was annoying when people acted as though Alistair wasn't standing right there. And thanks for your kind words.

I KNOW! I was so mad when I couldn't hear him talk over the voice over in the video 

But I still like the 5 seconds we get to see him <3

He sounds way too posh, like he's the event planner for tea parties or something <_<

Yes: opposite ends when it comes to computer RPGs anyway!  (I run and play a lot of tabletop games too, where one uses few resources apart from one's imagination.  Wouldn't want someone else being my voice there!) 

Honestly, I found it baffling that everyone in DA:O treated my Warden as so pivotal when, to my mind, a better and more experienced candidate was standing right beside me (even if he didn't want the responsibility).  In many ways, to me, DA:O was more Alistair's story than my Warden's.  And I didn't mind.  If anything, I'd have liked it to be even more so, given the impossibility of adequately representing everything I might imagine for my character.  (E.g. why no option to take Anora to task for failing to uphold justice in the Alienage, if she was really ruling Ferelden while Cailan played hero?  Or refusing to accept the guards barring me from the Alienage until the plot tells me I can go there, and forming an all-rogue team to sneak in by night as soon as I can get to Denerim?  Only in fanfic...)

Anyway, thank you for the pleasant discussion.  Disagreement, as you so correctly point out, does not need to be acrimonius at all.  :-)

Absolutley loved everything in the video, Bioware I couldnt be more proud of you.

 VERY promising. I'm all a-flutter with excitement now.

Im love elf girls new look. and mhawkes is actualy growin on me.

[HolyAvenger]

I like the MaleHawke voice. Just because I'm playing a warrior doesn't mean he has to sound like a gruff idiot. I rather like the suave, smart but deadly approach.

Except Hawke's voice isn't any of those things.

Wow, I really have to agree--the new animations/interactivity of objects really, really looks FANTASTIC.  I am SOO psyched now.

Mmm I don't mind the snippets we've had so far. The cake line was delivered with a kind of flat, dry deadpan wit I quite liked. Not laugh-out-loud, but not bad.

In my experience, the deadpan-ish delivery tends to grow on you over time because you learn to read the nuances.  Yeah, the first few times you hear someone talking you don't pick up on the nuances well.

The first two Gothic games had voice delivery very much like this, and I really loved it.  Took about . . . 30 minutes of gameplay for me to get into it, but after that, it worked.
