Ignoring specs and everything, since I've played DA2 the most-yes, I really do like the gameplay in that one I think the most, I can't decide for my latest playthrough-Warrior or Mage?

They made Hawke a mage in the promotional material. They put a MAGE in the promotional material. They NEEEEEVER do that. As far as I'm concerned, canon Hawke is a mage, and so should you.

I don't know what those words, "warrior" and "mage", mean. The only true way to play DA2 is as rogue.

Rogue is the most fun to play; mage is most relevant to the story; warrior allows you to use all those Hawke specific items that are designed for a warrior and otherwise are just wasted. I've played all three and that pretty much sums them up for me.

Mage. Because of Carver. And because of the story more personal in every case. (And because mage Hawke can be a demigod, and this fits Varric's tale.)
Warrior. Because of Bethany, as Circle Mage. It can make the story just as personal as with a mage.
Rogue. Personally, I don't like as much as the first two, but it can fit a non-mage Hawke's position (especially if s/he become a smuggler).
___
My choice is the mage, but I really loved my warrior too.

Usually when I can't decide what I want to be I let the DA keep pick one for me at random. But seeing as I'm playing mage Hawke on my current run I'll pick mage.

Rogue gets her too, you know. You didn't say anything that is unique to the warrior.

Rogue gets her too, you know. You didn't say anything that is unique to the warrior. I just prefer the warrior over the rogue. I liked him with Anders, still friendship, but different than a mage. A protective (blood) Knight story. But this is just personal and special preference, this is why I said, the rogue also has good points, perhaps, better than a warrior. But a warrior fits the mercenary character... It depend on the player's view and playstile. And the original question was: mage or warrior. (With Merrill, probably a blood mage, with Isabela... a sarcastic Hawke, no matter, mage, warrior or rogue, with Fenris, the mage works better.)

Mage and rogue feel the best to me. Either you're an apostate hiding from the templars or have the skills necessary to hide your mage sibling. Rogue also fits with the sketchiness that Hawke gets into.

Flip a coin an do whatever doesn't win after the one that does.
DA2, imo, did all 3 classes an there respective specs the best out all DA games an for me each class warranted multiple playthroughs

Catilina I'm not arguing against warrior. My point was that your primary stated reason centered around Bethany, which seemed odd since the rogue gets her as well. If you had stated all of that stuff in your original post, I wouldn't have commented at all.

I still think regulating the choice of which sibling survives due to class/party balance was unnecessarily contrived and stupid. A good RPG should allow the player to customize their characters and party however they see fit. Not to mention how such forced balance wouldn't have been needed if Bioware had kept Origins' class versatility, such as allowing warriors to use ranged weapons, letting rogues and mages wear heavy armor if they had the right stats, and so on. If the player wants a party of just one or two classes, they should have those options. To me, it would have been more emotionally impactful if the sibling's death had actually been the result of in-story choice, like who fights up front versus who guards Leandra. I don't see the character dynamic of Mage Hawke and Bethany or Warrior/Rogue Hawke and Carver being all that different. Bethany could have been proud and/or envious of Mage Hawke's confidence and freedoms, while Carver... would still be Carver .

Rogue also fits with the sketchiness that Hawke gets into. Agreed! Male mage Hawke is my primary Hawke and I'm currently doing a female mage playthrough. But I also love female rogue Hawke - I like the "sisters Hawke" protective dynamic with Bethany and a freewheeling rogue fits Kirkwall pretty well.

Male mage Hawke is my primary Hawke and I'm currently doing a female mage playthrough. Male Mage Hawke is my canon, cause it's great. Ten out of ten would play my canon again. Also, I've done lots of female Mage playthroughs (that was my first ever play through I finished in DA:2 actually)
