That's so interesting. I've never done it that way because I am an absolute coward in real life, with terrible social anxiety, so I could not do what the Warden or Hawke would. Perhaps I should make a semi-me, who could actually talk to strangers. Or not-strangers.
Lol, I say go for it. Hell, there's nothing wrong with creating the "ideal you" in-game, I certainly make my me-characters better looking than I am in real life! And I'd probably be more inclined to go get drunk than deal with Inquisition paperwork, but obviously we have to pick from the options available, LOL!
Sometimes I've found that by playing as myself in-game during these first playthroughs I've ended up realising, addressing and dealing with some real-life problems. For example, I played as myself in DA:O and during Alistair's romance/story arc I came to admit to myself that the relationship I was in at the time with my ex was bad, that he was treating me terribly and that I needed to take steps to leave. I also learnt that the friendships I had in real life at the time were unhealthy and that they were fair weather friends that would (and often did) drop me when I wasn't of use to them, which was sad to realise but beneficial in the long run after I cut ties with them... I think that's in part why my me-Warden became my canon Warden, I found DA:O at a difficult time and it helped me get through it.
