Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9729210" data-attributes="member: 18">Man Hawke was the one time, the goddamn one time when "pre-created character" 100% landed for me.Hawke was boss. Like, I tried to make a better-looking character than default Hawke, and I just couldn't even come close, and it wasn't just the engine, Male Hawke looked amazing. I don't even like beards but goddamn. I've literally modded him into other games since.And then he always had speech options that ruled, and I was like YESSSS that's right suck it up! Hawke is absolutely owning you in conversation! They let him drop so many sick lines.(The one exception being I couldn't call out Anders for obviously lying to my face re: what we wanted bat guano for - I've played AD&D guys, I know a fireball spell is!).I also normally played female characters in RPGs, but Male Hawke was so cool that I just didn't initially. I did eventually play female Hawke, she's also pretty cool. I had an incredible evil run with her.I really liked that DA2 was kind of short (30-ish hours) and had some good fixed story elements too (not fighting Orsino regardless though, that was lame). Somehow worked to make it very replayable for me.They did get incredible shizz for it, and for other things (some more or less justified), and then Inquisition was just like an insane overreaction to all that criticism! Inquisition answered every single criticism of DA2 except what Darkspawn looked like by going waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too far in the other direction.Not enough areas, too many resused areas? < Movie trailer guy voice > HOW ABOUT WAY TOO MANY AREAS! SOME OF THEM COMPLETELY POINTLESSSSSS!!! JUST MORE AND MORE AND MORE AREAS! ALSO THEY'RE HUGE!!!Not enough meaningless sidequests? HOW ABOUT SO MANY YOU WANT TO DIE JUST FINISHING THE FIRST ZOOOOONE! IS THAT COOL!!??!?!Main character is too specific? HOW ABOUT THE BLANDEST MC DIALOGUE YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE?!!? EASILY THE BLANDEST BIOWARE EVER WROOOOOOTE.Enemies rappelling down, coming in through 1-way doors and teleporting in (with demons) is annoying? HOW ABOUT ENEMIES JUST STANDING AROUND BASICALLY EVERYWHERRRRRRRRE!!! ALSO WE KEPT THE TELEPORTING IN BUT NO-ONE NOTICED TO COMPLAAAAAAIN!!!No real crafting? HOW ABOUT ABSOLUTELY METRIC TONS OF TEDIOUS INGREDIENT HARVESTING AND A TRILLION MILLION ITEMS YOU CAN CONSTRUCT AND KIND OF HAVE TO CONSTRUCT?!?!?I feel I've overstayed my welcome with this bit already, but you get it.EDIT  - Okay one bonus one.Hawke looks too good, I can't make a character who looks that good? HOW ABOUT WE BRING HAWKE BACK AND MAKE HIM LOOK TOTAL AND UTTER CRAAAAAAAP??????</blockquote>
