NPC is usually saved for "non-playable characters".
Hawke, I'm pretty sure, was playable, because that was the main character.
You were Hawke. Hawke could be customized, thus being an extension of you.

I don't understand how someone couldn't like a character that they made.
But that's me. I can see how some people would wish the DA2 story to be over,
but apparently, the writers decided that it isn't. Maybe Hawke will be more likable
to those that dislike the character.

For all the control and attachment I felt for Hawke (which is to say very little), s/he felt like an annoying sidekick or random party member that quipped or commented in dialogue rather than a character I played. I tried different classes, different personalities, different appearances... nothing made me care or like Hawke enough to do a full complete of DA2 besides my first time.

That's why I refer to Hawke as an NPC. It didn't even feel like a stranger, it felt like a set of disjointed responses, all strung together. Which is maybe what every PC character is when the mechanics are broken down. And maybe Hawke just revealed too many design and execution problems for my own tastes that it felt like they were never a person or character at all.

Cameron lee said in the tiwtch stream that hawke plays a significant part in the game.

 

 

He did?! Oh gods noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Zana:  You know - if I were to run off on a wild speculative tangent.... she also jests about being a dragon and makes a point to look at Hawke seriously and say:  "You could never become a dragon." 

 

SO - semi-confirmed rumor - Hawke becomes the dragon that protects the Inquisitor in DA:I!!

[IamTheXena]

Can't wait to see how the story plays out... whatever Hawke's role.

[SmilesJA]

I really can't wait for the interactions between Sarcastic Hawke, Sera, Iron Bull and Varric!

For those of you so opposed to the option to killing Hawke, what do you suppose I should do in this playthrough?

 

Hawke was a sarcastic anarchist sociopath blood-mage, who full supported her boyfriend Anders blowing up a Chantry? My Inquisitor, in contrast, is a humorless warrior devout andrastian, who believes in authority and harsh measures against the lawless. These two will not get along. It would be very out of character for either of them to like the other, or even respect the other, and most likely they both want to kill the other.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I actually hope Hawke is a secret companion. That would be awesome IMO.

I had a playthrough like that planned out simply for drama's sake, but decided to hold out for Hawke flirtation instead.  

 

If it did come down to blows it would be highly amusing along the lines of trying to keep both Keldorn and Viconia in your party.  Oh man, now I've got the urge to see if I can complete a BG2 game in two weeks since I never did play the "new" version.  

[Ryzaki]

I rather they just left my Hawke alone =/

[Grayvisions]

Everyone is forgetting the real question here...

 

Spoiler

??? CAN WE ROMANCE OUR HAWKE WITH OUR INQUISITOR ???

 

Would bang. In a heartbeat. Just cuz he was me at one point. I bathe in the Freudian implications and exfoliate with its masturbatory scrub.

 

In other news, I've heard nothing about Hawke being playable, that scene with him running around with your party could just be an in-game cinematic. Maybe at some point the Inquisitor goes off into a kamikaze mission and tasks Hawke with getting your team out to safety? Could be anything, really. I wouldn't want to play as him, but I am happy he's a big part of the story. Bravo to Bware for cleaning up a loose end. Unless it just leads to more loose ends...then, q.q

[Almostfaceman]

If you had been reading Scuttlebutt regularly, you'd know it's been scientifically proven with science that everyone in the world wants to murder Hawke.

 

[silentspec111]

I am all for Hawke having a cameo in DA I but honesty I dont know how i feel about him being playable....

[LostInReverie19]

I actually hope Hawke is a secret companion. That would be awesome IMO.

 

Me too! I for one loved all my Hawkes. I'm more attached to them than my Wardens, blasphemy I know. I think this would be a really cool idea. Yeah, I'm still gonna love my Inquisitor, but I too feel like Hawke's story isn't quite done yet. DA2 was really just setting up the events for DA:I.

I'd rather Hawke be playable than not, just because I want to be able to continue to shape/control her character. This is why I don't want to see my Warden either---at least Hawke had dominant personality tones, how on earth am I to expect them to know what my Warden was like?

[Dutchess]

Yup. Hands off, Gaider!

^What She-Hulk said. How could they possibly capture the Warden? Hawke at least has one of three different personalities. 

[LaughingWolf]

I don't know why so many people dislike Hawke; I love him and his story. I actually liked Hawke better than the Warden because Hawke felt like an actual person involved in the world (at least imo).

I so hope this turns out be real! Hawke part of the Inquisition would be soooooo awesome!

[Coverage]

Sarcastic Hawke was good fun and all, but I just don't have the same connection to him as I had with my Warden. It could  be because I feel like I went through a large, grand adventure with my Warden through the game and all it's DLC, whereas I never played any Dragon Age 2 DLC, and the main story was more constrained and focused, but also a little less 'epic' feeling and memorable.

 

I don't mind Hawke making an appearance, but I hope his role isn't too big in the game. I feel like Hawke has had his time in the sun and I'm ready to see the stories main focus moved elsewhere.

Deal with it. Especially since its nigh impossible for Hawke to be a sociopath since like Shepard all Hawkes care for their family or at the very least their mother. All Hawkes stayed in Kirkwall to kick the Qunari out, all Hawkes in some way wanted to help at least a little even if it was a in a ruthless fashion. Even assuming Hawke is almost pure unadulterated evil then still deal with it. Finding Hawke was a big deal that wasn't just going to be forgotten. Not only that but you're essentially wasting a bunch of resources trying to kill someone who could be a strong ally. Too stupid of a move for the rest of the leadership to consider that even remotely practical.

I wouldn't mind Hawke being a "secret companion", but I don't think I'd like to see them as a permanent part of the Inquisition. That would feel too awkward. Having a significant role is really nice, as long as it doesn't mean they end up dead.

 

I think many people dislike Hawke because they mix up "player agency" with "control over where the story goes". Hawke carries a ton of bad luck around, but that doesn't reflect badly on them. I wouldn't want every story I play to be like theirs, but I did like it. It was a refreshing change.

^What She-Hulk said. How could they possibly capture the Warden? Hawke at least has one of three different personalities.

By and large I disagree. Sometimes it seems like I'm the only person who picked dialogue tone based on context when playing DA2. She joked with her friends, was diplomatic when she liked or respected the person, and was aggressive when she was pissed off.

Now I have to tell the Keep what my Hawke's personality was.

Umm... complex, human?

Nope. So I guess since my Hawke was annoyed slightly more than anything else (who wouldn't be after the cluster of events in DA2?) I have to say she's "aggressive" and watch as BioWare [probably] makes her into a perpetual jerk.

meh

[veeia]

No I agree with you. I didn't blindly pick the tone that I had chosen, I tried to RP. But the structure of the game and dialogue system made it so Bioware--as long as they avoid explicitly stating Hawkes motivations or rationale for things---can make a Hawke that will enough sound like a large majority of the fanbase's characters. I'm not sure it will be done well yet but..... Warden doesn't even have that.

That isn't strictly The Keep's fault. In the game Hawke had a dominant tone no matter what.
