Dragon Age 2: Hawke is a jerk

Surrounded by blood mages, psychotic templars, petty thieves and filthy urchins, is it any wonder Hawke wants to gut anyone in her way?

[@TheAerisSerris]

Hawke: Is the Flint Company bothering you again? Varric: - Hawke asked aggressively. Hawke: You know I hate it when you do that! Varric: - Hawke muttered in an angry aside to the dwarf. Oh God. Varric. I love you.

[@akuladoctor7355]

WoW a that 6:36 is too cold for me. I did all the others once. Sarcastic Hawke has good dialogues too. Still this Hawke is a badass.

[@jamesonholbrook3969]

I....... I really like this hawke

[@MukuonChannel]

+Jameson Holbrook Right? FemHawke is so hot when being choosing renegade options.

I mean, I need money too tho....

[@channel45853]

Kid should just git gud

[@cheshirhatter]

I prefer sarcastic Hawke myself. Good Hawke is too... good and aggressive Hawke makes me feel guilty. :D

[@BethanyEvams]

2:29 - Varric even facepalmed to that one lol

[@Hawaiian_Pizza_Enjoyer]

I think the aggressive personality gets way to much hate (ironically) It has a huuuge protagonist-value in my opinion Hawke, the guy/gal who takes no sh*it

[@ugan2]

Aggressive's my go to personality. Headcanons are just more fun with that personality like a mage who feels as though if she shows vulnerability then she falls apart or a warrior who is giant guard dog but a softy with his dog.

[@channel45853]

A good combination of sarcasm and aggression

[@AFGuidesHD]

Especially depending on the situation. "Go back to Hightown" alright then, I'm defending myself with the aggressive option. "What are you dirty urchins doing here" 🤣

[@anders8461]

My hawke is a type of guy who grief through sarcasm

[@Adanu191]

Aggressive Hawke is my default Hawke. Diplomatic Hawke is too much of a pushover and sassy Hawke is completely absurd.

[@kmacmuzikmafia27]

lol "buy yourself a drink"

[@lastplayed]

+Kelly MacLeod I wish that were an option in every RPG.

[@meltingcrayon4697]

Why act like the "Good one" when you can be the jerk? *-* Best Hawke ever XD

[@Malon2006]

You're Hawke is such a sweet heart, she is the most kind and charming women I ever seen(sarcasm).

[@lastplayed]

+Malon2006 lol thanks

[@Shadowhunterbg]

+Malon2006 Malon2006 said sarcastically.

[@Malon2006]

Hurlock alpha You know I hate it when you do that.

[@rinokumura7371]

[@EliKat94]

I don't think I could ever have my Hawke be a jerk to Carver, he looks like a kicked puppy when she's mean to him.

[@CMY187]

Mine murdered Carver in the Deep Roads. I role-played that his affliction of the dark spawn taint was due to her surreptitiously poisoning him with dark spawn blood.

[@LadyDecember]

I played an Aggressive Hawke, but I could never make her mean to her family. So I made her mostly Aggressive, but with a soft spot for family and they were the rare people she'd speak more softly/diplomatically to.

[@Willzb-xk4ew]

All carver does is complain

[@BronzeFox]

9:14 I couldn't stop laughing when Hawke punched Isabela. I'm literally still laughing!

[@Blazieth]

+BronzeFox Personally, I think it's funnier to bring up the whole "you ran off with a Qunari relic" over and over and over. Isabela will never live it down :P

[@TDurdenArt]

"Don't give me that look. Be grateful for five minutes." Lmao

[@markfeemster5695]

That Arishok execution though... 😈

[@shadowstarz3651]

The scene at 10:30 is actually one of the few times you'll get friend points with all your companions because what he did was so despicable.

[@MugzieIsGir]

At the end I could imagine Hawke saying "The fnck y'all lookin at?" xDD

[@ramazantekin4144]

haha. i like Meredith's face when hawke tells no mercy to the mages. i wish i find a woman who looks at me like meredith looks at mages being executed...

[@cherryblack420]

She reminds me of Azula

[@RedSubsFun]

6:37 This is the cruelest scene in DA 2...

[@toridawley1101]

I can barely do this in any of the games... especially Mass Effect... it makes me almost cry. :(

[@dddrrmm]

Actually jerk Sheppard is quite logical and far more tame than one'd expect.

[@toridawley1101]

Getting Inquisition for Christmas. Really excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@toridawley1101]

I've never really tried with Shepard. I just look at some of the decisions that are worse with Renegade and die a little inside XD

[@yuneriah]

1:26 I couldn't bring myself to play as a agressive Hawke, but wow, she's badass as fuck. She's the sort of person you must try your best not to piss off. :P

[@Anonymous-mp2ln]

I don't get why mage Hawke stabs in cutscenes, she should just blast them with fire or lightning.

[@owo4353]

She just likes the feeling of stabbing it really satisfies her :3

[@YZY_Fox21]

@@owo4353 we pretend about Rogue female hawke stabbing arishok with her dagger right in his balls lol

[@hannahneptune6751]

This is oddly attractive. lol Bioware and "renegade" female protagonists, I swear.

[@rjmcripley]

When I get this game I'm so going to make hawke like this.

[@Hawaiian_Pizza_Enjoyer]

10:47 The best reason to refuse his duel

[@11damkina11]

I ALWAYS play aggressive Hawke lmao she is funnier than the sarcastic one

[@kingsboro1]

Agressive hawke is just very direct on things and is all about moving forward humorous wears a mask on things I use to have blue mage purple rogue and red warrior now I perfer blue warrior red mage and purple rogue I like the blue/purple conversations with bethany and the red conversations with carver

[@AFGuidesHD]

Sometimes sarcastic option is more jerky than the aggressive one though, so it can be good to use to max out the jerkyness

[@pri2x0x]

This never gets old

[@Wurzelknecht]

This is what made Dragon Age 2 better than Origins: Your character actually had a voice and could interact with the other characters in story sequences, making the entire story so much more dynamic. The Warden sadly was just another boring mute player avatar like in so many other rpgs who stood around during such sequences looking like an idiot and not saying a word. Choosing a written answer and actually seeing your character say it in his/her own words makes such a huge difference to me in how invested I get in my characters story.

[@CMY187]

The great voice acting certainly helped. By the way, Ciri from the Witcher 3 is voiced by the same person who voiced Hawke in Dragon Age 2.

[@tofattofly1]

In my opinion more options > voiced character

[@IzzyLovesRock]

tofattofly1 It's like I say, love it or hate it the dialogue wheel doesn't belong in DA. This cancer has even spread to Fallout. Honestly, I look forward to the day when we can get a fully voiced and indepth text box. But the budget for something like that just doesn't exist.

[@robbertvandenberg8954]

Either they will need bigger budgets, or computer generated voices will have to get more advanced. Imagine having the option to use a microphone to record something you say, then the software would analyse it and use it to generate a voice for you character that would be used throughout the game. We can only dream for such a development

[@homosexualitymydearwatson4109]

Robbert van den Berg I hate my voice and a lot of other people hate their own voices as well. I’d rather hear a paid voice actor than listen to my self for around 48 hours of gameplay.

[@BethanyEvams]

The 6:35 part though

[@kaylaposey7616]

I just love the aggressive dialog choices with Carver. xP

[@Opalaisha]

His/her CHAMPION is actually quite pretty, to me.

[@shadowstarz3651]

Hawke in the last scene: Cheer for me or I'll do the same to you!

[@thekeepersfirst6996]

this is what the inquisitor lacked. there's so much personality packed into every type of response. I loved the British actress for the inquisitor but the tone of each response wasn't as impactful as Hawke's. love the compilation though!

[@lastplayed]

Agreed, the Inquisitor was kinda boring compared to Hawke.

[@Varyalover]

The Inquisitor was horrendously boring. The British voices were soft, and meek. The American ones were stupidly "tough". There's no typical adventurer, only the soft-spoken 16-year-olds who would cry over broken nails, or 40-year-olds with piercings on their genitalia. Inquisition was just bad in general. The voiced dialogue meant that we had basically no choices in contrast to choice-rich Origins, and the monotonous tones of the extremities that are these teenaged or elderly voice actors made every line into a flat monologue of nothing interesting, in contrast to Dragon Age 2. They should have had people like the Hawke voice actors, they were more normal adventurers, but were better at aggression, being sultry, or just being cool-headed.

[@kingsboro1]

@@Raizelash your in a middle of war not much room for personality

[@AFGuidesHD]

Hawke is also british

[@MakingSpiritualityReal]

People complain about the Inquisitor but there was still punching. Coming here after Veilguard is depressing.

Wow...must've taken lessons from Shepard

@frogger12346 It's in the third act during her personal quest.

[@amberlynnsgiganticneck5948]

This should’ve been brought back to Inquisition. I loved purple and red Hawke lol

[@kingsboro1]

It was in DAI they didn't have colors but they were tone down probably because it was war

[@TheReaperOfTheRebels]

No matter how hard I try I have never been able to play as fully aggressive hawke... I usually play has sarcastic hawke with some diplomatic and aggressive options thrown in.

[@SasukeHatergirl4]

Hawke: You're in my way.... Guard: We're under attack!!! lol

[@LostOddity]

"I just need your Grey Warden expertise, not a diatribe on your strange person habits." Lol! I love Aggressive Hawke, because s/he just has no social skills. Different to Renegade Shepard, who I think is more rude and snarky (like a combination of Aggressive/Funny Hawke). I like that morality in DA isn't tied exclusively to personality either. You could be Aggressive Hawke, and still rescue kittens from trees all the time. Though in Kirkwall, the tree would probably turn into an abomination. >.>

[@ChrisDeebo]

True but to me Hawke still felt more alive then the Warden who biggest response move was deciding whether or he should fold his hand behind his back or just smile and nod

[@SuperBarcelona1995]

In the beginning of Act 3 go to Red Lantern District in Hightown where in the map should be an exclamation mark ''!" there'll be a tanned guy named Nuncio accept his request to initiate the mission ''A Murder of Crows'' play through it and you'll see... PS. If you're having a romance thing with Isabela tag her along ..you'll want that.

[@Macder10]

The whole video hawke is here a jerk and at the last kill he gets applaused....Best ending ever

I make my hawke a mage too, and a blood magic. And she's aggressive. Damn hypocrite badass

With her red hair and the jerk attitude she reminds me of Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail.

The only way to play Hawke: Male Hawke - Sarcastic wise-guy Female Hawke - Hardcore bitch

[@Zaya_Nalenthi]

I prefer sarcastic Hawke. "I think you'll have to clarify, a lot of things are "my" fault."

[@119951000]

I love to play as an aggressive Hawke! Like a boss. XD

[@VenomQuill]

This... this blows my mind. You are awesome.

[@RawrieatChu01]

It did add to the character in a certain way, but the point of the Warden not having a voice in DA:O was so that you could put your own voice to the character, making him/her sound as you please in your own mind. Putting a voice to the character removes this, which personally disappointed me, but it can improve a character if you choose the right actor for it. As for the animations, well, the weren't too many animations in either game, so I don't believe it's really a fair point.

[@SharinganshiSasuke]

At 05:03 from which quest is this scene from?The Last Straw?

[@skynet091287]

Is the knife you can put in the neck of the dwarf Javaris a rogue only option? Because that's by far my favorite cutscene kill...

Does that mean the other two behaviors also have unique moves in cut scenes?

[@raccooncitizen]

Your Hawke is more masculine than Carver! XD

[@DavrosVonJammell]

@lastplayed Hopefully the next DA character will do something as ruthless as Shepard destroying the Batarian system (not that it was such a bad thing to do, really). Eradicate Orlais, maybe.

[@ultimatekotorfan]

Damn! 6:50 is just cruel...

[@RawrieatChu01]

You can do that for every chapter, so you can go through all three 'personalities' in one game if you please. It was supposedly Bioware trying to make Hawke seem like his/her character grew throughout the game, but it wasn't really that impressive.
