Yes they did.LoL. what does that have to do with Hawke being failure?
Me: Hawke is a failure and many cases it was his inaction or stupidity
You:Nope , he tried to help his family (in what he failed too) so he isn't a failure.
Me:Wut?
Many things were once again hawke fault because Hawke chose act too late or was too dumb about it ,ending as pawn like with Petrice ,Talis or Isabela case.
"And hawke did use their brain to solve the problem"
This
There thing you can do to try to solve thing but when thing in the environment that are gunning to counter anything you do that you can't control, how can you say you are at fault?
The darkspawn killed on of hawke sibling. Nothing they could about that. Nothing hawke could do to stop that orge.
One of his sibling get tainted. Nothing hawke can do but not bring them there and they still lose them any way to the circle or templers.
Hawke's mom died. Even if Hawke warned her they would of still lost her being that this was a blood mage and they though she went on a date.
The Qunari uprising. The qunari were stress and could not leave with out the book which Hawke did not know where it was at. Add, people of the chantry who Hawke can't control egged the qunari on by attacking them.
The mage uprising. Hawke can tell Anders to leave from Act 2 and the man is still there to bomb the chantry.
Sorry, but How can Hawke be a failure for things out of their control. What could even be done. Even if Hawke was not involved all this would of happened except for Cory and the idol getting lose....And Hawke would of still be hunted down to use them to release Cory.
