The great/awful thing about Sarcastic Hawke was that his/her lines were occasionally so inappropriate and groan inducing, it was surreal. People who are legitimately upset about missing or dead spouses, children, or siblings are confiding in this person, and Hawke feels the need to crack jokes. It borders on "this character is insane"...which isn't necessarily a bad thing, if people enjoy playing that way. I just would hope that the other personality types are more subtle, if Sarcastic/Charismatic Player Character is completely wacky.
Many people use humor to cope with unfortunate and/or stressful moments. It's actually pretty easy to roleplay a snarky character as someone who's simply trying to hide from his crappy reality.
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying to take out that kind of dialogue, but to give the choices a bit more range, for when you don't want to try to cut the tension with that guy who is holding his dead son with silly puns, but you also don't want to brusquely chastise him for not being more attentive to his kid by choosing the Aggressive dialogue, for example.
Basically, extremes can be funny/fun to roleplay, but sometimes you do want to play a character who is a bit more balanced.
Also this. I am pretty much like that. I use humor to cope with a great many things. I think I know how to keep it appropriate though.
