Since giving the Warden a voice is the only way to get them into another game, I am absolutely ok with it.
I am more attached to the Warden than I am to Hawke or the Inquisitor. I would love to see them return.
Only if Kirk Thornton voices mine.
Might be a problem, one of the male Warden ones is dead.
Once I would have said I absolutely don't want this because they will mess it up, but I'm slowly starting to let go and not care about what they do in the future. Progress!
I feel like if the Warden returns, it'll just be to have a second chance at a glorious death. My concern over this is waning. I just want this Grey Warden civil war shenanigans to unfold and be resolved.
You know they had to know that people would want some closure with The Warden and I suppose Morrigan-mancers got some with Witch Hunt but seriously B-Ware you should have seen it coming when you decided to bring Alistair,Morrigan & Leliana back and of course theres the quest to cure the calling really B-Ware your pulling a Revan again both have gone far away to accomplish their goals and such conviently neither are around to help.Once I would have said I absolutely don't want this because they will mess it up, but I'm slowly starting to let go and not care about what they do in the future.

It kinda sucks that the Dalish gets the short end of the stick on the accent and shares it with the human.
I'd be quite willing to accept a voice that was not exactly how I imagined my warden if it meant we got another appearance.
Except that it would be "The" HOF, not "your" HOF. Just like Hawke, she would just have a few lines of dialog and you don't get to play her.
Seriously, I don't want my Warden coming back without me playing her, which will never happen.

With all this Hof stuff, I just keep imagining this guy showing up in Warden armor. Make it happen, BioWare.

Yeah. I'd hope for a Welsh voice for my Mahariel in this unlikely, hypothetical scenario, seeing as her clan all changed voice actors come DA2.

As I stated in another thread. All it takes is at the "Default or custom" selection for your HoF you have like 10-15 real short questions regarding minor choices made in DA:O these would superficially affect dialogue and possibly some scene action. For people that had the HoF die you thrown in a stroudesque Warden/Hawke (or use Alistar or Loghain if they lived).
After that all you do is have a choice early on in the DLC where either the HoF( or Filler) get captured/incapacitated or the Quizzy does. Your choice directly impacts who you play. You want to play as the HoF cool. You want to play as the Quizzy, Got that too. So now you get to play as your HoF (or not) and save the day one last time. At the end you are given a hard choice where the HoF can go out in an epic blaze of glory or they can ride off into the sunset with (or without) Their LI. Depending on how long you made it (5 hours, 10 hours, more) you could have nods to old jokes, cameos, fan service galore, future set ups, exposition dumps. and charge a goddamn arm and a leg for it. Hell they could even bait everyone by not having the Warden speak for the first few hours, then just when everyone thinks they pussed out on giving him a voice have him start talking like its no big deal.
Quizzy "Wait you can talk?!"
HoF *Gives him a WTF look* "Of course I can talk"
Quizzy "Why haven't you?!"
HoF *turns to LI* "You follow him now do you?"
LI "Hes normally not so easily startled"
I am not saying they should. But its possible to do and it wouldn't be cost prohibitive at all.
Basically it comes down to what Bioware wants to do and it sounds like more than anything they never really came up with a send off that they feel did enough justice to everything they feel that they should touch on with the HoF.
Remember that scene from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
The main problem isn't a voice in and of itself. The problem is what that voice says. I've got 10 different Wardens from 5 different backgrounds, each with different motivations, attitudes, and opinions. They have our choices recorded in the Keep, but they don't have WHY we made those choices. Hawke, already voiced and having a single background, was far easier to implement. There is no way that the Warden who appears will hear more than a superficial resemblance to the Warden from DAO. Just let him go.
I guess I don't get why everyone is so hung up on this. Do people want a DLC where your warden sits in a big leather chair and narrates a play by play of every choice he/she ever made?
If you make all the big decision the DLC has choices with a few options (which wouldn't be hard at all if its a stand alone one off) and have them have several flavors people can literally recreate their Warden as they play. No need to reference their actions from Origins left and right, just a couple of the big ones (most are in the Keep) to help set the stage. The reason Hawke was hard is that he/she was a NPC this time round and they had to force a voice on them. IF they made the DLC as HoF playable (which most people seem to want in some way) all they need is a 5-10 hour rail story that branches a few ways to let people craft their own.
No i do not want my warden voiced. I will undoubtedly be disappointed. I do, however want the warden to return in some form. Just not voiced.
I don't know. Loghain's appearance in the Inquisition was brilliant, yet Zevran's cameo in DA2 was bugged and ugly.
The risk is too great. And it seems to me it's best to have no cameo at all than an ugly one.

I have to say, I'm 100% against having a second playable character in this game. I feel that any story content that expands Inquisition a bit more should involve the Inquisitor and any companions remaining, not exhuming a past protagonist to occupy the slot. Shoving in the second PC basically bars any possibility of the main cast contributing in any meaningful way, unless the Inquisitor becomes the NPC, which I think would be a terrible idea. I was no fan of Leliana's Song, but at least that was a short prequel.
