I mostly play all the games as a mage because I normally prefer to attack at range rather than go in close I think I will play as a warrior/rogue at some stage though because I'd like to try and beat the games with all classes like I have already with Mass Effect

Mage Hawke is more involved with the story but archer class is for me.

[AlexiaRevan]

Mage is alot of fun to play . Warrior is good too , but that whole running out of Stamina get on my nerve....tried rogue and didnt like it . 

 

So go Mage ! Go Blood Mage ! Go Humour Hawke!  = best combinaison = everyone do no wrong 

[TheBlackSwordsman]

Mage or Rogue
There's more immersion for a mage,and a rogue hawke gets some badass "Dialogue" options

[Riven326]

Female mage for Hawke. Male Warrior for the Warden. Inquisitor... still undecided, but learning towards rogue.

[luna1124]

Mage, of course

[NinjaFlips]

I avoid the mage class in that A)it's the least challenging, and B)there's something unreal about walking into the Templar courtyard working my staff and full blood-mage regalia and saying, "who me, mage???"

[Obadiah]

Thid reminds me... for the next game we need a rogue or warrior class that can do some real melee damage with those bladed mage staffs.

[JadeDragon]

Mage hawk with templar carver for some brotherly drama.

[Mikoto8472]

I've played and beaten the game with all three classes and each has its merits and detractors.

 

 

But overall I favour female mage Hawke with Templar Carver. Though it is immersion breaking to be bearing a robe, staff and lobbing fireballs around openly from as early as arriving in Kirkwall.... eh. I learned to live with it. Just like I headcanoned why Meredith didn't clap her in irons after she killed the Arishok and his men. It was flimsy but it worked. On the plus side I got the annoying but interesting Carver and his asshat career choice, a stake in the mage/templar conflict, a fun class to play (specially spirit healer) and interesting dialogue.

 

Of course now I'm halfway through Inquisition there's something appealing about knowing Hawke is now a free mage without Templars breathing down her neck. She's free to study and expand her magic. And with her 'disappearing' again I get plenty of room to headcanon.

 

S'all good.

Warrior. Hawke is built like a warrior, so I think that class makes more sense. Your mage sister is also the sibling to survive the prologue that way, so I personally think it makes the mage/Templar conflict more personal. You have a younger sister caught up in the mage/Templar conflict, and so need to help her. You're not just looking out for yourself and your own interests, you're protecting a family member. To me, that's far more powerful.

 

EDIT: Also, I hate how the story hinges on you wanting to get into Kirkwall and reclaim the family fortune like Leandra wants. Like Carver, I didn't want to stay chasing some old lineage. I wanted to leave Kirkwall and start over, build a new life somewhere else. After Leandra died, I REALLY didn't want to stay anymore, "Champion of Kirkwall" or no. By having Bethany a mage and taken by the Circle, I have a vested interest in staying around to make sure she's okay, to side with the mages, and to make sure the Templars' abuse of the mages doesn't get out of hand since my sister will be their next victim.

 

Nice

I'm playing as a warrior right now and this is my head canon. Hawke is doing everything to protect his sister.

I had to scrap my rogue!Hawke because I didn't like the way things turned out when I chose the Red Iron over Athenril, but otherwise I liked the overall feel DA2 gives the class.  Rogue!Hawke is definitely worth a shot.

 

Otherwise, mage!Hawke all the way.

[dongsaeng]

Mage Hawke, especially when your romance Anders, oh the tragedy </3

 

Also I prefer keeping Carver alive than Bethany. If I could keep both alive I would. But I love Carver's relationship towards Hawke and how it affects his character development when you befriend him or keep the rivalry.

True.  Bethany seems more like the ideal "good" younger sibling, which is nice to have, but the Carver/Hawke dynamic feels much more real to me. (Speaking from experience as an older sibling here.)

[Beregond5]

I like Rogue because it makes a nice balance between Carver (2H warrior) and Bethany (Mage). On the other hand, Mage Hawke and Carver make a good 'clash' between them. It's not just the city that is separated in two sides (Mage Vs Templars) it's the family as well. So it's either of those classes for me.

I have no clue how anyone can stomach DA2 as a mage.  I think its a solid game if you play as a Warrior or Rogue.  Don't get wrong the class itself is fun.  I guess with the hide weapons mod it can be done right but I  just cant seem to get past the fact that NO ONE reacts to you being a mage until years later.  Also if you are a blood mage they WILL NOT cannon your Hawke cause he will be vehemently against blood magic in DAI.  Just makes zero sense.

[xxQUANTUMxx]

I went hawke rogue and hawke S/S Berserker Vanguard. Preferred Rogue. I was still attached to the mage conflict having spent my entire life making sure Bethany was not taken by the templars (she went with the wardens in my pt).

That part is pretty lore breaking, I have to admit.  But there are hints that Meredith wasn't completely blind to it; in Act 2 she mentions your name cropping up with increasing frequency, and by Act 3 I headcanon that even Meredith isn't powerful enough to act publicly against the Champion.   Yeah, I admit it's a stretch.  (It also helps that I've never played as a blood mage, either in Origins or DA2.)

That? That's not a staff. It's an elven bow - gift from Merril's clan. With a crystal top for aiming. Elven thing. You wouldn't understand.

Seriously, though, someone should have called a Mage Hawke out at some point, especially in Act I when Hawke didn't have the sort of influence in the city that protected him from Templars touching him. Personally, I sort of imagine that it happens off screen.

[springacres]

Well, whoever you choose to work for during the Prologue offers to keep the templars off your back (or your sister's if you're a non-mage).  And Aveline gets a position with the city guard, so maybe she helps out a bit?  (I know, still a stretch, but...)

[ApocAlypsE007]

Played all classes on Nightmare. Most fun- nuker Blood Mage. The most brokenly OP- Reaver Berezerker 2 hander.

This part bothers me a bit, and Meredith's whole knowing Hawke is a mage but lets it slide stuff just isn't that convincing. It's a shame though, because I found the mage to be really fun in the game. But with that and Carver surviving instead of Bethany, I only rolled a mage once and kept with the rogue.

 

As for blood magic, it's been a bit of a joke since Origins, since bloodmages were always seen as oh so terrible, yet you could be one and everyone's like whatevs, and that's on top of being able to make Wynne, of all people, a bloodmage, which is one of the most character-breaking elements of the game. At least Merrill got flak for it here and there, and it ended up costing her in the end if you helped her along.

[thruaglassdarkly]

Mage is my favorite class, but Bethany is one of my favorite characters, so its sixes.  My Hawke typically ends up filling the Bethany void when I play canon magic.  Dual-dagger rogue is really fun too, particularly the assassin class.

Meredith's leniency never bothered me since you meet her with the city under siege.  Cullen's blatant idiocy in Act I was a bit much.  As for blood magic, I don't know how you win.  Its typically pretty story-breaking, but folks went bananas when it wasn't included in DA:I.  Personally, I could live without it.
