Maybe I am crazy but when Hawke first sailed into Kirkwall one of my first thoughts was the city in Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Looking at some pics at the moment I don't see it, but the feeling is definitly there.

Also the menu screen for choosing zones and the look and feel of the whole city actually.

The story line from Metropolis smacks more of Tevinter than the Free Marches but it is the struggle between the ruling class (Templars) and the oppressed (mages).
From IMDB - Storyline "Sometime in the future, the city of Metropolis is home to a Utopian society where its wealthy residents live a carefree life. One of those is Freder Fredersen. One day, he spots a beautiful woman with a group of children, she and the children who quickly disappear. Trying to follow her, he, oblivious to such, is horrified to find an underground world of workers, apparently who run the machinery which keeps the above ground Utopian world functioning. One of the few people above ground who knows about the world below is Freder's father, Joh Fredersen, who is the founder and master of Metropolis. Freder learns that the woman is Maria, who espouses the need to join the "hands" - the workers - to the "head" - those in power above - by a mediator or the "heart". Freder wants to help the plight of the workers in the want for a better life. But when Joh learns of what Maria is espousing and that Freder is joining their cause... Written by Huggo[/i]   "

Metropolis is so archetypal it's easy to see it everywhere. I didn't get the feeling in Kirkwall (certainly not in its Templar-mage divide, although perhaps the Hightown-Lowtown separation is a parallel), but Tevinter's capital of Minrathous would be such a blast as an homage to the film. I recall reading something about the magisters living high above the stench of the slaves, so the potential is definitely there, at least visually, if not in terms of plot.
