Game is biased to Bethany. Both warrior and rogue will receive her. I suggest trying both the rogue and the warrior in the first sequence, to see which class speaks to you, because they let you see a lot of spells as a class preview. 2H warrior will duplicate a male elf cast member and melee rogue will duplicate a female human cast member. Both of those cast members have romances for either gender PC. Hope this helps w/o spoiling. Yes, this was of great help. Thanks! You should post your playthrough for us!

I have no problem restarting. I've tried both genders to see which voice I like, and I like both. So my choice will be aesthetic only. I do know he or she will be a two hander.

You could just start your original post with your impression so far. Like, why you chose your gender/class, how you felt about your sibling loss, did you play DAO? and import a world state? Or what default world state did you pick? That sort of info. No need to restart ^^

No need to restart ^^ Okay. I picked the default female Hawke, I think she looks cute and I like her voice. I lost Carver and felt bad, especially when the mother goes to him during the Ogre battle. I played and beat DAO over a dozen times, but the save I'm using is from my human mage, Jaden Amell. He romanced Leliana and did the dark ritual with Morrigan, and slew the archdemon. He did the Awakening dlc also. Talking about Amell, Hawke tells the guard in Kirkwall that the family has an estate, the Amell estate. Also the mother says that magic runs strong in the family. Are they related to the human mage in Origins? I have met Varric already, Also Cassandra looks really beautiful in this game. I think she's beautiful in DAI, but I wonder why they changed her look so drastically? I chose to do the mercenary work in the beginning for Meeran. I am now in the city with Aveline, Bethany, and Varric. I really like all 3 companions and their banter. Although it's been a year and Bethany wears the same outfit? Anyway I am enjoying the game and while I enjoyed playing DAI, DA2 brings back that Dragon Age feeling if that makes sense. My only criticism so far is that I have to be a human, which I understand with the family. But I miss my Qunari from DAI.

Act 2 is the best thing that the DA series ever produced! I'm going to restart my latest attempt and try a female Hawke..I had the same issue with DA:I and I tried a female mage and beat the game and its one of my favorite games now. Maybe that will work with DA:2..
From watching DA:2 Let's plays on you tube it seems like its a good game.

Another follow up after 27 hours of play.. Why the hate for DA:2? Its a great game with a lot of banter and jabs between Aveline and Isabela. Then there is sweet innocent Merrill comments. Then there is Fenris..The more I listen to him the more he sounded like Balthier from FF12..Upon checking I found it was the same voice actor. I did make a mistake. I decided not to take Bethany to the Deep Roads in order to keep her safe..Bad choice the filthy Templar found her and took her to the circle.

Either they get a new job or kidnapped or die. I love DA2 and I'm glad you gave it a chance

Yeah, I did not get it either, the hatred, but when a game is new and that radically different from Game 1 in the series, people will wind themselves up and then there is no stopping it, they close their minds, and just establish it as "I hate it".

Nah, I wouldn't say I love Inquisition either, or rather, I don't love it in it's entirety. I like dressing my Barbie doll, repeat kiss scenes are done well, and I like getting to explore faith. And I love the moment of becoming Inquisitor being a turning point for the character. And I love Trespasser. Hate the battle mechanics, especially magic. I'm not the gamer open worlds are made for by any stretch. And I dislike that I can't have bang a thons (forced serial monogamy, 3 for ladies, 4 for men) with no references from my new lover of my old lover, making it feel less immersive.

I understand that some people like to be the savior of the world, which Hawke is not. I mean, I don't share that view, but I do understand it. Beyond that, though, I don't understand the hate either. I almost skipped this game after DAO because of all the bad reviews, but I opted to play it anyway and form my own opinion. Very glad I did, because I think this game has the best cast and best protagonist of the series. I like that I get to play a normal person who gets caught up in a big mess and doesn't come away from the experience with poisoned superblood or a magic hand. And for Bethany...well, it could have been worse. Is that any consolation?

I fully agree Hawke isn't the savior of the world or anything. IMHO Hawke is more of a "problem eliminator" or a hired gun as they say in some of the Western novels I read..

I think it suffered from the combination of being a step further away from DAO on the action/narrative scale (so people who loved the choice - or illusion of choice - from DAO were disappointed), plus it was less of a power fantasy (so people who loved that element were disappointed), and then it had the more objective problems like the recycled environments, which meant that when three groups of variously disappointed people started talking you got a chorus of negativity. They weren't wrong, I think it's just a game that works best for a slightly different (although obviously overlapping) audience. DA2 wasn't what I'd originally expected, but once I figured out that it wasn't going to be more of DAO I ended up loving it. Personally, I think the chosen-one narrative has been done to death in fantasy, so I loved that this did something different. And while the waves of enemies annoyed me at first, once I realized what the force mage specialization could do I ended up loving the gameplay too.
