I should wait until I finish the game to post this, but it's on my mind NOW.

[Spoilers for the end of Act 2.  Please don't reply with anything specific from Act 3]

Hawke's plan to take the city was always to try and get the Qunari and the Templar's to fight each other.  Into this chaos Hawke would inteject himself and his carefully built alliance of merchants, thieves, dwarves, elves, city guard, mages and refugees.  This Hawke faction would become the saviours of the City, whose nobility would elevate him to leadership of a city freed from control of outside factions. 

The only problem was that he lacked a catalyst, something to spark the Qunari into action against the Templars.  Then into his lap came Isabella's tale of the Qunari relic.  All he had to do was get the relic, plant it in the Gallows via the handy underground tunnel Anders had found for him (getting Bethany out that way) and tell the Arishok where it was.  He could even recover the relic afterwards for Isabella's sake.

Then she ran off with the thing and the Arishok went off half-cocked, attacking the city not the Gallows. Can the situation be rescued?

Obviously my preferred storyline doesn't match the writers, but I would have like to be Hawke dictating the action, rather than reacting to it. I suspect Act 3 will diappoint.

Hawke was, is and will be a glorified errand boy.

I will have to agree with you on this here. Not to mention that there isn't a real over all objective with this one as there was in DAO. In DAO you needed to gather as many allies as you could to stop a blight.  Nothing like that in DA2.

I found the OP post amusing. I guess you didn't manage to build up what you wanted as by the time you got the book the Qunari already decided to take over (The Arishok did say something about it being too late when you first offer the book). But the idea is great
