Purple!Hawkes with Fenris or Isabela are so good. Red!Hawkes with Merrill. Yas! Though I love red Hawke with Fenris and Isabela, too. With Fenris they're two grumpy grumps and red Hawke is so deadpan with Bela, I love it. Shocked, okay, but betrayed? Anders lied, and did some questionable things, but Hawke who can betray him, if s/he want. (And can refuse his ask.) Definitely betrayed. And used. My Hawke had no idea he was helping Anders make a bomb. 1. Fenris sometimes very good react to the red answers, so I can imagine him with red Hawke (as pro-mage probably rather rival, as pro-templar or neutral Hawke rather friendship – what a harmony!), but with purple!Hawke Fenris so fun, I love this! With Isabela? This can be funny, but I think, purple!Hawke and Isabela match each other. 2. Neither my Hawke, but he behave suspiciously, and after Justice quest he tell Hawke (of course, if s/he ask him), that he lied. Now Hawke can ask him for the reasons, and he vaguely tell, what he plan willn't peaceful, nor bloodless. In this moment Hawke can decide that refuse him, or help him in his bloody plan. The explosion is a surprise, but Anders but does not hide, that people people will dieing: "It's easy to support freedom if no one must die to achieve it." Depend on Hawke's personality, I have Hawke who refused him, because didn't tell his plan. But the others supported him. He used Hawke? Yes, we can say. Just as Isabela (Koslun). But you're right, this is a feeling. Hard to argue with. Anyway: source

Isn't it funny how male Hawke is nearly always depicted as a mage? And from what I've seen, fem Hawke usually varies from fighter to rogue.

Probably true. Weird. Perhaps Garrett has appeared in a promo more times than Marian, and always as a Mage.

I'll be the lone blue Hawke. I do occasionally choose the charming or direct, depending on the situation, but I do mostly lean toward the blues.

My only templar-ended Hawke was blue, I think, he would be only, who really would feel some responsibility due to Corypheus, for Kirkwall, for his idiot Templar-brother, and sacrificed his friend "for the peace". He wanted compliance to everyone. I think, he really would be a burned out man in Inquisition*. (Not used in the keep this version.) Update: As I remember, my first Hawke was mostly blue too, especially toward the companions (I wanted to max friendship with everyone, and it succeeds, I think Carver , Fenris, and Sebastian were the exception with ~80%), I liked him, but I found a little bit boring later, in the light of the others. _____ *But this is only my crazy theory about the nice Hawke

I've had my fair share of blue & purple Hawkes and no matter her personality she always romances Isabela.
Blue Hawke sweet & dependable and purple Hawke is hilarious and while I love both, purple Hawke is my favourite.

Have a Hawke start out as sarcastic, coping with the pain of the Blight and being a refugee by being jokey and not being too serious about the situation. Then in Act II try to appear diplomatic and live up to the title of nobility. Then after everything is going to shit despite anything Hawke does, Act III is aggressive. I don't really do this since playing as purple Hawke the whole time is too much fun. But it's nice that we have the option to change tones.

I don't really do this since playing as purple Hawke the whole time is too much fun. But it's nice that we have the option to change tones. Yes. I like this idea too, there are many potential in this. For example: I. At the beginning–Act1 despite the tragedy, s/he can keep his/her helpfulness and charm (or at least try to keep it). Returning from the Deep Roads, s/he already lost his/her sister/brother, or can feel betrayed (Carver), at the moment s/he can lost his/her charm, and become angry, but still helpful (Act2). After his/her mother's dead, s/he already only sarcastic, diasppointed sometimes angry, but rather impatient. II. At the beginning s/he's an impatient hot-headed young, aggressive, sometimes perhaps can be charming (protective toward his/her family). At act 2 s/he lost his/her temper, and become rather sarcastic: on one hand, s/he lost his brother/sister, on other hand s/he became rich noble (more sarcastic, less agressive). At Act 3, qunari gone, s/he's already the Champion of Kirkwall. S/He feel responsibility for his/her home, the people (and remained brother/sister). Despite his/her mother death, start to hope again, and working for his/her city. S/he becames more patient and helpful. At the end he finally s/he realized, that his/her helpfulness was totally wasted. S/He already a silent mad. Or something similar. I have many ideas, incoming later... (now: back to the work)

I'm normally a sarcastic Hawke-r, but I recently finished a playthrough with an aggressive Hawke friend-romancing Anders and I really enjoyed it. Some of the dialogue options really felt like I was RPing a Bonnie & Clyde-style mage rights fugitive couple, and I ended up liking that run a lot more than my normal consistently purple Hawke!

Some of the dialogue options really felt like I was RPing a Bonnie & Clyde-style mage rights fugitive couple, and I ended up liking that run a lot more than my normal consistently purple Hawke! I started a run with aggressive/sarcastic mage Hawke, planned Anders romance. Before I played with a warrior, sarcastic/aggressive toward everyone, except Anders. Toward him was absolutely devoted (mostly blue), and he was in friendship with every companion. This was a different feeling than as the sarcastic mage, who was his buddy, and lover. He was the "want a sandwich?" - type, what doesn't means, that he doesn't love and supports him wholeheartedly. But he was more impatient than the warrior. He was in rivalry with Fenris. Now I'm curious, how different feeling as the aggressive Hawke (toward him: sarcastic/nice). Now he seems an asshole, but Anders seems impressed... (just like Fenris – bah, I planned rivalry with everyone, except Anders, but I see, that will be hard).

This thread, plus the Anders and Carver ones, has convinced me to dust off my PS3 and play DA2 instead of DAI.
