Hawke has to be one of the most ineffectual serious protagonists I've seen.

-Mistakenly and unknowingly released the lyrium idol which all but creates the central antagonist and nearly destroys the city.
-Mistakenly and unknowingly helps Anders create a mage/templar civil war throughout Thedas.
-Mistakenly and unknowingly helps and even allows Corypheus to escape and likely infiltrate the Grey Wardens.
-Mistakenly
and unknowingly prevents a list of Qunari spies from being obtained,
likely making the eventual qunari invasion all the worse.

It was annoying at first, but this has gotten to be just comical. I have to wonder if Bioware even realizes what a joke Hawke is.  I'm not sure I've ever seen an RPG character railroaded so much into being a complete stooge or stepstool for other characters to walk all over.

 

And yet most of the fandom, and most characters in-universe, seem to believe Hawke is the most competent and get-er-done protagonist of the series.

 

Go figure.

If you play Hawke as a selfish, opportunistic rogue trying to claw their way upwards in society, caring next to nothing about the rest of the world, they do okay. From a military grunt in the poorest country on the continent to Viscount of an admittedly ******-up trading captial isn't a bad over a stretch of ten years. Of course, then the demon invasion begins and that all goes to hell. Good thing nobody important was lost and no suicidal risks were taken along the way, huh?

Hawke's not supposed to be a hero or a legend. He becomes a legend because he survived against all odds in a city gone mad.

 

He's a survivor, not the hero who saves the day. And neither did he ask to be. Leave that to the Warden.

However s/he saved a few days. And as I remember, the warden also did not ask for this (my wardens, at least ...). "It's a gift."
