Storming alone into the enemy army while your King and fellow soldiers are already dead makes you an idiot, reasons are just excuses.
Dead idiot or live coward take your pick.

Huh? In one playthrough, my Grey Warden solo'd the entire darkspawn army AND the Archdemon. In other playthroughs, I only had three people with me. Obviously, the darkspawn aren't that tough.Melrache wrote...
Because one man against whole blight would've made such a big difference, when even a Grey Warden needs a huge army? It's better to run away to fight another day and it's not cowardice.
The warden was as good as dead until dragon lady swooped in and carryed him off.Vengeful Nature wrote...

Running from hopeless odds is not cowardice. There's a difference between recognizing impossible odds and letting fear constantly dominate your actions.
Unless you mean the very idea of not wanting to die means you are a coward. Then I guess we are all cowards.
Remember not to use health potions, as that would fearing having to die due to the possibility of taking more damage.

Hardly hopeless odds. Warden managed fine, didn't he? And Hawke is supposed to be more powerful, enough to change the world somehow.
At this point it was hopeless for the Hawkes. The Warden didn't stay in Lothering to defend it either, remember?Vengeful Nature wrote...

One, the warden was in a better position. The Warden was a Grey Warden, on of the only people who could actually kill the Archdemon. The warden had access to treaties demanding the alliegence of others to help him fight.Vengeful Nature wrote...

I hope you're sarcastic, because bringing gamemechanics into a story/lore discussion is kinda ... you know ... far off ... so far off that it even makes the moon appear to be close.Perfect-Kenshin wrote...

I'm trying to say is: we don't really know HOW Hawke survived the Battle of Ostagar... do we?

I love the people calling me a troll for having a thought its great.
Also everyone has forgotten that DA2 is still 10 days away.
I know if i personally would have been at Ostagar i dont know what i would have done.
Fight? Flee? or just crap my pants and stare in horror?
I just cant wait to see how the game is started and learn the past of our champion as we shape his/her future.

Being powerful enough to change the world might imply political power, which probably doesn't do you much good if you're being overrun by darkspawn. And even if Hawke has special abilities, he sure as heck didn't have them at Ostagar (assuming you're a rogue/warrior Hawe, since mage Hawke was never there).
Yeah, thing with our heroes is though, the more you know about them, the less you like them, because at some point you can't help to realize that they are just human.Grumpy young man wrote...
Some of the biggest RL national heroes could fit in that definition of "coward"
Skenderbeg for albanians, El Cid for spaniards, Vlad Tepes for romanians etc. - all of them have run on the number of occasions to live and fight for another day.
