I would regretfully have to leave Hawke behind.
My hof who still wears Nelaros's ring has had enough done to her. Though I find it interesting that the wording is "might" not "will" die.

Umm, one would think that with the Hero of Ferelden, the Inquisitor and the Champion of Kirkwall fighting side-by-side, they'd have the power to kill just about anything. In that instance, the choice becomes less "who are we going to sacrifice?" and more "who'll have the honour of finishing Nightmare off?"

Very true. But, unfortunately, we all know that even our godly PCs transform into rank amateur combatants when they're not under our expert control. My GuyHawke spent the whole fight against the nightmare demon swaying on the spot and trying not to throw up. Whereas in DA2 he would have adopted a steely-eyed squint and fired twenty arrows in twenty seconds, killing every beastie in the room before cracking an heroic and highly inappropriate quip. lol
I'd keep the Warden most of the time, and only sacrifice them to see what happened for plot reasons.
Depends on the world state really, I'm more attached to some PCs than others, and not all of them are good people.
World state 1, after a certain amount of agonizing I'd probably leave hawke to die. WS 3 I'd leave my warden to die without a second thought. WS 2 my wardens dead already. WS 5, there's no way in hell I'm letting that warden go, sorry Hawke... etc.
If the Warden was sacrificed, the epilogue would just say "Finally got 'im."
I don't know, honestly it would depend on romance and other such stuff and I wouldn't honestly feel good about leaving either of them behind but I'd go with HOF.
Then again isn't the HOF like level 50+ if you complete all the missions and DLC's in Origins? I think the nightmare demon would take one look and go "Nope Cory I'm done" and scurry into the deepest darkest part of the fade and wait till the warden is gone. Mind you a possessed HOF (because we all know whoever got left behind did not die) scares me more, imagine all that power for a demon to play with.
But honestly I don't understand why we had to make this choice, it always felt like Bioware just wanted to see us cry or feel bad.
I would leave Hawke behind a think a lot of people would as people seem very attacthed to there Warden's me included and i think my warden could do more than Hawke
The Warden caps out at level 35, but it doesn't matter. The Warden would get reduced to level 11, same as Hawke and whichever Warden ally you wind up with, including Alistair who can at least be in the 20's by Origins' conclusion.I don't know, honestly it would depend on romance and other such stuff and I wouldn't honestly feel good about leaving either of them behind but I'd go with HOF.

The Warden is indeed as strong as the writers decide s/he is. But from the interviews, things like Wynne depicting the Warden as a force of nature more formidable than the Archdemons in Asunder or Justinia deciding to use him/her as her "Behave or Else" trump card in the Mage-Templar war, I get the feeling that the writers decided to take the fact that the Warden is ridiculously overpowered (especially if they're still alive by the time Witch Hunt begins) and run with it.
Still, even though the Nightmare's domain is shorter and easier than the Fade sequence in Origins, narratively speaking, the Nightmare was clearly intended as more powerful than any mortal, HoF included.
I would settle it like this:
Inquisitor: Gentlemen, one of you must be sacrificed. If you don't want to die, immediately say something.
Warden: *Performs frantic hand gestures*
Hawke: What?
Inquisitor: That settles it. Good knowing you, Warden.
Sounds about right ![]()
Honestly never gave 2 shits about the Warden, Hawke has more personality in his big toe than the Warden so adios HoF, you were always boring ![]()

If the decision of who gets left behind in the Fade was between Hawke and your Warden aka the Hero of Ferelden, who would you pick?
Would the decision of choosing the two be more difficult or easier?
I kinda got the impression, though nothing confirmed, that this was the way Bioware might have planned in the early stages before deciding not to include HoF. But if they did, I would have a much more difficult time choosing which of my heroes I would leave behind. Honestly, I'd probably pick Hawke only because it would seem narratively fitting if anyone recalled Flemeth's words to Hawke on Sundermount.
HoF would look at both 'silently' ... go and kill Nightmare and say "This is how its done"
Then they would all go out ...

I would let Hawk die. Hawk is use to misery.
