Do you think we'll make three characters at the start of the game?
Or will they wait 'til they actually appear, then the character creation screen pops up?
Or maybe it's something to do with the keep, but that won't include character creation.
Hopefully we'll be able to get a similar enough face to our original characters, but it's going to be pretty hard considering all the possible appearance options.
What do you think?
They could make you create all your past characters in the beginning as a way to introduce everyone to your world state "if they ever were to reappear"
Maybe you'll get to pick in the keep if you'd like to customize Hawke's look or not and customize them at the beginning. Maybe right before he shows up. Who knows.

Hopefully right before Leliana and Varric start telling the Inquisitor stories of the Warden and Hawke. That way you know it's coming, but it's a flashback sequence. If the Warden/Hawke were to appear in the present time their facial appearance would already be plugged in.
I'd prefer to get all of that stuff out of the way at the start of the game.
Veiled portraits in Skyhold. Optional, but not too out of the way for people to miss.
You walk over to the portrait, hit A or whatever, Cullen (since he met both of them. Leliana and Varric could also work) walks over and says who it's the portrait of, he asks if you want to see it and you get the opportunity to ignore it.
Assuming you say you want to see it, you go into the character creator. Once you're done, the face you've created is now on the unveiled portrait. Cullen comments on how like him/her the likeness is and wonders where they are now, possibly commenting on how the world needs them. Maybe even ask for the Inquisitor's thoughts on them for roleplay purposes.
I hope as soon as Hawke shows up a arrow goes through his/her chest killing him/her
Probably like how they allowed us to name Dog but with a Character Creator.
They might have you enter the CC in a conversation with Varric, or at the war table.
or they can be boring and use the CC in the begining/just before meeting them.
I REALLY hope they don't do this. It would completely destroy any dramatic reveal.

Have we considered the possibility that we might be PLAYING as Hawke?
Or is that been debunked?
I think it would be the best solution here.
I guess that's always possible, but I don't think that's really likely.
I hope as soon as Hawke shows up a arrow goes through his/her chest killing him/her
Abandon all hope, all ye who enter this game.
DA: Keep I'll wager. That or the game pauses during the meeting and we customize them then.

This is exactly how I have envisioned it working.
Possibilities could be...
1) During the "main" Inquisitor creation screen, you'd get to create your own Inquisitor, then *big surprise* another window (or another character slot option, or something along the line) shows up for you to create your Hawke and, maybe, your Origins Warden as well.
2) A unique-to-The Keep Hawke creation screen... but I would doubt that, what would happen then to people whom won't download The Keep? What if those players don't care about it or just never played past DA games before, and will only use Inquisition's default canon story? Yeah, food for thought...
3) During the actual playthrough, after the intro, after the regular Inquisitor creation screen. At some point in the game, perhaps from the war table or somewhere else in your Skyhold you'll learn that Hawke has been spotted somewhere, you'll have to investigate and before launching THAT specific mission you'll get a Hawke tarot card for customization, or something similar to that.
That's just what I think, but I'm surely wrong anyway, not sure how (other than the above).
Putting the sidekick creator before any dramatic reveals would kill the momentum and suspense completely. I think putting it right after the Inquisitor's would be the safest option, people bothered by it being there could just skip it.
I guess they could give Hawke and the Warden short playable introductions, which would go into breaks in the main story. The creator would start each off at a moment of low story intensity. Or it could be the same but non-playable even.
2) At a location in Skyhold (a portrait, a story told by Varric or Leliana, etc.).
That could work, so long as it wasn't easy to miss.
Could be that they have an import option and if not it might be just a generic face.
i think somewhere in the skyhold would be the smoothest. having to create three or two people at the beginning of the game might be too much. i feel like the focus should be the inquisitor in that moment. but i think that still has a possibility.
maybe you have to talk to varric or lelianna and if u enter a special dialogue then you can create them. leliana for warden if warden is in it. and varric for hawke.
or maybe bohdan/sandal?? sense they were with both the warden and hawke. if they are in the game idk if they are.
wouldn't really want it to be in the middle of a quest or right before they appear.
