I loved sarcastic hawke, and all the beautifully written moments. One or two moments seemd innapropriate, but by how the companions interact with sarcastic hawke, they knew that hawkes humour was a coping mechanisim, and INTERACTED with it.
When hawkes mother dies, and hawke uses humour.. the desperation, and anguish in their voice..makes it very clear that it is a coping mechanism.
And the inquisitor has 0.1 percent emotion compared to Hawke..and the world in DAI was blander for it.
I want that DA world back where the world responded to the personality 
No matter the personality, Hawke lost people throughout DA2 and showed their grief nearly every time, as well as how they never really got over some of the awful things that happened to them, like their mother's death (not even moving anything in her room except to dust).
The Inquisitor presumably lost people they knew at the Conclave... yet aside from a few sad generic dialogue options about how this was a horrible waste of life, never mentions anyone they lost or reflects on being the sole survivor of a world-shattering catastrophe afterwards.
The Inquisitor is awesome in what they do, but they are a tad boring in terms of their personality. Aside from the main quests and some of the epic or funny moments, I can't really recall that much dialogue that they had with people that really stood out that much?
At least Hawke was a lot more memorable of a character and far more quotable, even the random dialogue you had in minor sidequests. One of my complaints about Inquisition is that Hawke came off a lot more stiff in most of their scenes, even the humourous personality.
Whether it's the stress of being on the run and everything that's happened to them, Varric over-emphasising Hawke's character in DA2 or just being written far too bland and generic to cater to all the various personality-types, they didn't at times seem like the same character we knew in the last game? It felt more like Inquisition forced us to deal with Neutral-Hawke and while this doesn't bode well for the Warden if they ever write them in the game as an NPC, if they are also written to be a blank slate you can input any traits onto to sastify all players?
Although, I fear they might also learn from this and fan complaints and actually give the Warden a personality if they ever should appear down the line, once again screwing Hawke's character over and giving the DA2 haters more ammunition.
