You forgot Hawke found the idol that made Merredith crazy which lead to the events that lead to the ending of DA2.
Going to have to disagree on this. Anyone besides Hawke (and a party of that caliber) would probably have been screwed trying to deal with the tunnel collapse (dragon anyone?), and would definitely not have survived the rock wraith.
says who? Who said Varric would not have found someone else? Hawke when he/she went to the deep roads was pretty much a sword for hire. Not the unbeatable champion of kirkwall, defeater of quanari.
Varric needed a partner and good hired bodyguards. Hawke provided both.
If you get the devs stating that there were other options for those that Varric/Bartrand would have found and accepted, post them here. Otherwise, you're speculating based on your own bias against Hawke.

In the Legacy DLC Hawke went to an ancient Gery Warden Prision and freed Corypheus.

It's not a speculation that Varric would of found someone else to fund the deep road expitiontion. Virric is flexible enough to not hang everything on one guy. The fact that he went to Hawke proved that because the only reason he did was because his brother's parter had a falling out.Adanu wrote...

Hawke is not the solo Catalyst to what happen in Kirkwall. In fact can say the dominos started falling as far as stone throne.

You mean the resistance that attacked him on site and did not try to talk to him first to see what he wanted?Taleroth wrote...
He also slaughtered the resistance that was planning to take down Meredith and would have prevented the war.Brodoteau wrote...
When he/she does react, he does do good (who else could have found the Tome, stopped the Arishok, found the White Rose Killer etc.).
Good job, Hawke.
That was there own fault. And it would of ended badly anyway with all the blood mages in there camp and the fact the Divine wanted to do an exsalted march.

No, he made things better. Remeber the worst case is that an exalted march would be called on the city as well as a mage uprising. The mage templar war was going to happen no matter what.Versus Omnibus wrote...

Hawke was a metafictional character created by Varric and the Merchant Guild.
Whatever happened in Kirkwall was the result of other people's actions.

excuse you? Have you read my posts? I have defended Hawke.<_<
And it looks like YOUR spectulation about anyone that was not Hawke would have died in the deep roads is just.. spectulation.
That's not bias just spectulation.

You forget about the scroll containing the list of Qunari spies, and Hawke did nothing as Tallis skiped on out of Orlais. That's a pretty big one as well.Arcane Warrior Mage Hawke wrote...
Outside of possibly releasing an Ancient Darkspawn Hawke's screw ups were marginal at best.The Six Path of Pain wrote...
Yeah, but the Warden can also CHOOSE to not do any of the choices you listed. That's the difference between the two. Hawke just plain screws up no matter what.Arcane Warrior Mage Hawke wrote...
The Warden can choose to spare Avernus and the Architect and give an amoral witch a god baby.
Those are worse then Hawke's screw ups.

As it is, I'm not dealing with speculation with no information to base it on. I've seen no evidence there were others for Varric to approach.

I'm sorry, but Hawke did make things worse by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yup, Hawke screwed up a lot and unleashed a crapload of nasty on Thedas.
She had the power and skill, but not the brains. A very bad combo.
Oh please, Hawke is stupid and typically stands around and let people murder each other all the time, or unleash ancient darkspawn, let qunari spies skip off, or allow Sisters to ****** off Qunari. She's a failure of a hero.

Good job, Hawke.
Grace was an insane blood mage. If she succeeded, Divine Justinia would have had to declare an exalted march against Kirkwall. Instead of insane renegade Anders nuking the Chantry and the mages being unfortunate victim's of Meredith's insanity, the entire templar order and the Chantry would have had a rallying cry against Circle mages.
That's one thing Hawke absolutely did right.

She wasn't half the threat Meredith was.
And why did Grace spontaneously turn into an abomination only the second Hawke shows up? Because he is freaking curse. I swear, it's like demons are invisibly circling around him at all moments looking for people to jump into when he gets near them.

We don't know that (i) they were actually opposed to Grace or her use of blood magic, since even Alain was a BM and (ii) Grace was doing a fine job mind controlling several of her supposed templar acolytes, like Trashl
She wasn't half the threat Meredith was.
It's not about thread. It's about optics. A Circle mage rebellion led by blood magic and mind controlling templars is the Chantry nightmare. Instead of Justinia searching for a cure to Tranquility, you have to have the entire Chantry rally to burn Kirkwall to the ground.
And when it comes to the Circles asking for freedom, you don't have Meredith's insanity as a rallying cry. You have her as a justified martyr doing her best to control a city that went insane with blood magic.
And why did Grace spontaneously turn into an abomination only the second Hawke shows up? Because he is freaking curse. I swear, it's like demons are invisibly circling around him at all moments looking for people to jump into when he gets near them.
Grace was clearly possesed before she started her so-callde rebellion.

2.Also, the fact the if the mages took control of Kirkwall would of started an exsulted march has not dawn on you. Yes, we know Meredith is bad but nothing in DA2 was worse then an exsulted march on the city.
3. "And why did Grace spontaneously turn into an abomination only the second Hawke shows up"
She turns into an abomination only after she is nearly killed in combat.

The mages wouldn't have taken control. The rebellion was jointly run between Templars and Mages. It was a pro-circle Rebellion that was strictly against Meredith's excesses. It wasn't Tevinter.leaguer of one wrote...

It was a blood mage led rebellion controlled by an abomination. The templars were mind-controlled. It would have turned into the Circle Tower had Uldred won.

It did not matter if Tevinter was invold or not. Marches are not called ageint Tevinter, just any one who aposes the chantry laws. The fact allow a city is taken control of by mages is enough. Remeber we are told by Lilianna if the mages do take over a march is happening.Taleroth wrote...
