Dragon Age 2 - Hawke's hidden monologue.

- So, I've finished game a few times, but I just discovered this hidden monologue.
I was just testing something. Alright. It popped up after quest Following the Qun.
Hawke needs to leave the Chantry alone and I guess she must have humorous personality.
" Enchantment soup " I thought I would fall from the chair after hearing that :D

Hawke needs her friends so she doesn't have a mental breakdown every 6 seconds. Seems legit.
Unless you cannot really find friends because they're using you for their purposes, making fun of you, avoiding or lying to you.
Or (which is very common for centuries) those don't have nothing interesting/common to talk about (like you talk about characters and storyline in videogames, sharing thoughts about it but she/he isn't interested. Games like RDR2 are like books, unfortunately too many in this world think games are like Fortnite or Tekken but are infected with narcissism and social activities like Instagram where they barely know someone and add them in "friends" list. Picturing themselves like they're special when in thousands of years no one cares about how the hell you looked alike. Probably in that time Instagram will be gone forever because nothing lasts forever).

@@xXSilentAgent47Xx Bro, are u ok?
@@maliciousintruder3010 Bro didn't have friends to talk to to prevent his own mental breakdown
thougt it was sciencephile for a sec
The sudden realization that you were about to insult yourself... priceless.
The Actress Killed it !!
Love how she gets self aware there at the end
thats the best part lol
If Hawke was a dlc companion in Origins. They would dominate the entire game's fanbase.
In retrospect it was a brilliant decision to give us free reign of such a lovable personality.
She's literally my favorite protagonist ever. She's sassy, charming, badass and oh my god, that voice. I haven't changed my mind even after all these years :)
Frankly, I wish Hawke was a full companion in Inquisition but you can't get everything
@@Srythian too hard cause of character customization, too much options to code probably
@@luretta6704 . What do you mean? He/She is already there.
@@AshiiX6 yeah im a little late here to comment but im just playing through all these now im halfway through inquisition and yeah hawke and varrick are the best characters in the series. if DA4 ever does happen hopefully they either go with you sacrificed shroud or the flemmeth prediction comes true and jumping into the thick of it lets him unlock powers and he comes back possibly as a dragon himself.
The moment Hawke realized she needed a vacation.
No kidding.
The moment Hawke realized she was talking to herself about loonies in the street talking to them.....selves
Hawke definitely felt the most likeable of the three DA protagonists to me.
Yeah Hawke was less of a “blank slate” unlike the other two.
Warden and Inquisitor just felt like player vessels, Hawke just felt different.
Because he/she feels relatable unlike the warden or the inquisitor. Those two are just important figures. Hawke is a just a refuge who wants to lookout for themselves and their family and friends.
my Warden is my favorite chasracter in the entire DA universe BUT I couldnt care less about my Inquisitor.
@@spiderz5145 i wouldn't go that far, while they weren't what you'd call the chosen one in the case of the Inquisitor, or someone who can end the blight and slay an archdemon as a warden, they were just a person who became someone. that's what makes Hawke so compelling and unique, they were just a person who got too caught up in everything that was going on in kirkwall and throughout the free marches. but based on what we know about the Amell's, Hawke isn't exactly normal. what was in Hawke's blood made them slightly stronger than the average person, but that's why even when you play as a mage, most people don't sense it, even the templars are unable to detect. it's only when you reveal the mage part, or like Fenris, since he sees you casting spells, he'll bring it up. he said i should've known sooner, meaning if your hawke was something else he would've known. but all mages cast spells, and you can't exactly hide that. that's why Cassandra had a hard time buying Hawke being a mage, she makes a good point, but we have to remember that what we see play out in DA2 can be a bit far fetched. i played a mage one time as Marion Hawke, got the peace option with the Qunari and became Viscount. Varric isn't a complete liar, but he does like to make Hawke out to be this unstoppable force. remember the scene with him charging into Bertrands home like a one man army, no one's gonna buy that act, even Cassandra saw through that one, but i still like how the game through that in there. we heard Varric's voice for the DA4 trailer, so it'll be interesting if the new protagonist is more like Hawke. somebody that goes from being an unknown to someone important by the end game, we know the Inquisitor will likely play a major role, we most likely won't play as them. that means how we played as them, might not reflect how they ll be as a character we don't control. some people weren't fans of how Hawke was handled, but imagine if the Warden did have a role, people would likely complain about that to. originally people didn't care as much about Hawke as much as the Warden when Inquisition was fairly new out, it was bad enough people complained about DA2 not having the Warden. i loved the Warden, but not every game series needs the same returning protagonist everytime. that worked for Mass Effect because Bioware had a tone of writing even before the first game came out, with Dragon Age it's all based on the D&D lore, and with D&D there's so many ways you can write a story. the dark spawn if you really think about it, in Origins they looked like goblins, but instead of green they have this reddish colored skin. but you see plenty of ogres which is basically an orc. the only thing you won't find in D&D are wardens, that's because a warrior doesn't need to bring some blood in order to slay a dragon, but that's what they came up with for a story. but the whole blight thing and dark spawn are only part of the story, how the blight began is the real story.
Hard same. I will give props for Trespasser!Quizzy for developing a personality
DA2 had such repetitive gameplay, but it's still my favorite game in the series. Hawke was just the best, and the whole crew of Disaster Bis was just spectacular.
Even though it can be repetitive, I still like it. I find it more enjoyable than the one in Origins. I guess it was too slow and "boring" for me.
@@AshiiX6 While I absolutely adored the story of DAO, the gameplay left a lot to be desired for me. I have played a lot of games older than it that had much better combat. They certainly could have made the gameplay more enjoyable. Luckily, what it lacks in gameplay, it makes up for in stellar writing!
Theres just one reason I can never play it again. Going though same dungeon layout a millionth time, but this time a Spider the size of a truck falls on top of you from the ceiling without warning. NOPE NOPE FUCK NO. Shame, aggressive and sassy Hawke personalities are absolute joy blast.
Having no knowledge of Dragon Age combat, which game's gameplay hit well?
@@StealthTheFoxz people probably think the latest game has the best combat, but tbh my favorite is origins just because I went a strength type build and hitting enemies for hundreds of damage was just so fun lol
I mean who wouldn't be looking at default Female Hawke? She's gorgeous, and I don't need to be lyrium addled or fade crazed to know that much!
She manages to pull off the badass hot girl thing
@@MrTripleXXXcrazy how devs were capable of pulling this off before Publishers started forcing them to comply with ESG ratings
10 years later and I still cannot get over her voice ❤
She also voices Ciri in the Witcher 3.
there is nothing wrong with talking to your self.... it's only wrong if you answer back (proceeds to have a conversation with self including answering questions asked to self)
Gavin Martin Nah, answering is fine...When you lose an argument with yourself then you should be worried.
Brennen David Robert Myers Maybe you were just debating 2 points that you were not sure about?
topple why shouldn't you feel comfortable, sometimes you're the only person who listen when you speak😆😆😆
It's always best to speak to the most intelligent person present.
My grandparents used to say "talking to yourself is the first sigh of madness, answering yourself back is the second and having a complete conversation is the third and final".
Oh my god! This is the best!! XD And to think how many people miss it, considering you need to be without a party... :D
I don't, there's a few others too on the coast. I regularly go without escort.
I get bored without a party.
Dragon Age never stop to amaze me. :3
Dragon Age 2 has benefitted immensely from hindsight. At the time it was a big disappointment as things got stripped down in favour of focusing on the restructured combat, and it does still have issues that Id love to see fixed with a remaster. But stripping the scale of the narrative down from a whole nation to a City-State and its surroundings was such a wise idea, it really allowed them to develop the characters and stories in that locale in a way that made it all feel really alive and lived in. Hawke ends up being one of the best developed characters in the series, and all the major conflicts are really well concieved and meticulously built as the game goes along. Its not as good as its predecessor, I know very few games that are, and its not as in depth as its successor, but its such a neatly packaged, lovingly crafted story now that the stink of its initial release is gone its really easy to see what they were doing here.
To each their own. Even with all its problems, I will always say that DA2 is better than DAO. DAO was this typical "big bad evil" storyline we have in most games and movies. It wasn't anything new. People love the game, because they finally got a good RPG after so many years. DA2 on the other hand was fresh with ideas. Storyline wasn't about being a savior of everyone. It was about Hawke - you - and her friends. About corruption in one city and its politics. That's what makes it way more superior in my eyes than Origins.
@@AshiiX6 IMO DAO was never really about the storyline and narrative, rather about the characters and companions and their interactions with the world and their relationships with each other. That was mostly what made the game so good at the time, and DA2 expanded on the theme a lot more with personal issues and struggles surrounding the characters and plot in retrospect to DAI and DAO's "saving the entire world" shenanigans. I wouldnt say DAOs plot was bad, of course, even more so better than some RPGs released at the time. Despite my love for DA2s handling of the narrative (and lack of love for the flexibility in combat and gameplay) I think DAO holds a special place in my heart even though DA2 stood out and was really memorable. Theres something about it that makes it so different from its successors and what makes it so good (that i cant seem to figure out.) Of course, youre entitled to your own opinion but those are just my thoughts on both of the games. DA2 could have really benefited from an extended dateline and had the potential to be one of the best games of all time, alas that was not what it turned out to be. Nevertheless, i still like DA2 for what it did become, and i never have second doubts about spending so much time playing the darn thing
The biggest benefit to the story is Hawke’s family. Origins kind of has this, but having a continuous dynamic with Hawke’s family and friends makes him/her seem alive. Inquisition and Mass Effect lack these features so while it’s easier to make the characters a stand-in, there’s not as much feeling that the character is charming on its own.
I think the biggest example is when you complete Legacy after Leandra’s death. Hawke has a conversation with a vision of their mother and it just feels so sentimental and heartbreaking. You never get moments like that in Inquisition because you don’t interact with your family, just a group of strangers that are way more serious than the DA2 group.
@@caramelllllllll You just described DA2, not DAO. DA2 was about family and friends/companions, not Origins. Origins was about ancient evil, war and uniting races under one banner. Pretty vanilla story.
@@AshiiX6 i feel like origins never really centred the focus around the plot but the characters rather, atleast thats how i saw it. DA2 did do it better in that regard however
Hawke: "I'm not crazy, you're crazy!"
wonder what Fenris and Anders would say to all that XD
Nothing, both are busy being edgy and angsty.
I love her voice... 💝
It's Jo Wyatt.
hahaha enchantement soup again , hahahah
still seems healthier then Alistair's cooking.
@@spalenzagabriel Kinda setting the bar low.
Maybe, but there is still Orzammar cuisine.
@@spalenzagabriel Cooking is....a word for it.
Mutilation is another.....
mage hawke is the best character ever, like i never had so much fun in a game before playing dragon age 2 mage omg the amount of power and humor is just so fun. i cant believe anyone hates on this game its by far one of the best games of the series.
honestly, if the devs had even just six months more time on the game it would probably be one of the greatest games of all time
@@dummy_vicc2976 yea i agree, its one of my favorite games of all time along side the first game. i feel it only got so much hate because of reviewers like angry joe didn't like the whole characters are okay with being gay, straight really the characters didn't discriminate like in dragon 1 which made the character you played up to you and route you wanted to take said character. i loved da:2 for the great combat, good story, lovable characters and showing the plight the mages vs templars was kinda brewing in dragon age 1 and spoke about breifly like in amarathine hero of ferelden/warden commander talks to wayne about.
@@pride2184 I feel like another problem people might have had with it at release is that it definitely feels like more of a prologue to dai than a sequel to dao, and despite the great story and characters, the devs were clearly rushed
@@dummy_vicc2976 yea but i thought thats the point of the story was a middle ground between the story shifting to a larger poltical upheaval and you just feel something is loomimg after the blight that there is political and war in the air. I thought war between ferelden and oralis then tevinter would swoop when both were weakened however the church falling apart was a good twist.
personally found the game extremely boring in the first act, but it definitely picked up in act 2. personally it’s still the weakest dragon age game, but i don’t think it’s as bad as everyone says it is. i also seriously hate the “wave system” during battle, i’m happy that didn’t come back in inquisition
The biggest mistake Bioware did to DA:I was the lack of the means to make my inquisitor sarcastically funny like Hawke did
Yes. The Inquisitor was such a bland PC by comparison of the other 2, especially Hawke.
great... now i need to replay the game... thanks a lot!
Good, good, do it. I'm actually replaying it right now :)
Same here 😅👌 With mods and on Nightmare difficulty it's amazing ✔ Endgame Rogue OP as fuck. Enemies blows up like bloody balloons 👍
@@AshiiX6 what about now? lul
@@leonthezarcos1444 I played it again couple of months ago actually ;)
What this game lacks in gameplay it makes up in its characters and storytelling. Hawke was Definitely the best player character in the entire franchise, and all the companions are memorable, unique and beautifully flawed.
Inquisition companions were also very remarkable but I still feel like Hawke has more personality than the Inquisitor, and relationships with Hawke felt so close because you were in a very tight group who helped each other with a lot of personal shit
I felt absolutely nothing to Inquisitor or her companions. Half I wanted to just kick out of the team and another half just was just... there. Inquisition failed for me in every aspect. Story, writing, protagonist, companions, gameplay... literally everything.
@@AshiiX6 The other characters just aren't the same, are they? I think DA:O had the best characters, DA2 had some good ones too. DA:I still had Varric, but I'm not that keen on too many of the others, and Vivienne I outright despise. didn't recruit her at all in my current playthrough.
@@danielharvison7510 I only liked Vivienne and Varric from Inquisition and even Varric didn't feel like himself, sadly. My fav companions are the ones from DA2, actually. They had the best dynamic with Hawke and with each other.
@@AshiiX6 really? i felt Inquisition did a remarkable job in its characters, story, and gameplay, especially with the Trespasser DLC.
Oh shit. I never knew about this. And ive done at least 7 full runs of this one but i rarely travel alone. I wonder if the Inquisitor has something like this.
I don't know if they have a monologue but if you're by yourself the inquisitior will make the comments that your party normally do instead.
The Inquisitor is boring, so I doubt it.
@@SeventhheavenDK the inquistor is boring. a goody two shoes, like the warden and hawke both seem very sassy and blunt but when you try to be sassy in inquistion always seems to get the most hate by companions other then varric and sera
@@pride2184 Solas tends to like sarcasm actually. Dorian too. Bull too. And ironically, even Cassandra loves it, possibly more than any other companion. "The Inquisitor was hilarious, that's what they'll say one day, just watch."
Stop hating on superior games. The Warden didn't even have a voice. They literally couldn't be funny.
@@TheStraightestWhitest never claimed the warden to be funny. Funny doesnt mean better. Alot of funny people arent good people. Same with games. Solas eh didnt care for, cool to find out more about the gods but solas and morrigan and flemth is kinda showed that these old gods of tevinter and elves have alot in common. Lore wise seems good. I love lore. We were talking about gameplay mainly, dragon age origins and dragon age 2 the characters mainly fought for you with not that much interference you needed if wanted click hot keys what abilities to use i didnt need to click every second like i do in skyrim. It works in skyrim cuz first person and youre hit do alot of damage. I play tbe hardest difficulty in all the dragon ages you just feel weaker and burned out. I literally wasn't having fun with playing the inquistor, while warden had cooler story of revenge of shiz. Hawke hilarious and witty and felt powerful to play as why they were a hero. Inquistor very button mashing felt more like a port from console to pc which is just sad.
Dragon Age: Origins will have a secure spot in my heart as one of the best games I have ever played.
But Dragon Age 2 is a good game on its own too.
I find it funny that this is the same voice actress as Ciri
Funnily enough this entire monologue is bigger than the majority of party banters in this game.
she has personality, incredible
lmfao im dying, i played all dragon age games literally 5x even more maybe and i still learned something new today
This game was a literal turture in nightmare difficulty seeing even this little video about the game still give me a ptsd after that many years
Anyone else catch themselves doing these irl? No? Just me?
I'm getting old. 😂
shes under alot of stress
I do this all the time, I’ll mumble, mutter or in private outright speak aloud.
Shes going nuts.
Thumb right in the bowl. His enchantment hand, too!
she became selfaware
LOL
This is better than the other video; this one has subs :D
that is golden
Talking about loonies wandering the streets when she's the only one around.
AWESOME!! its there more??
I love how she says knot head like a northerner saying dickhead
i wonder if there are more dialogues like this
It's Ciri when she got lost in time and can't find her way back.
There is also:
"Hawk this,Hawk that.
Why should I something something . "
I added something, something 😆
Bro. Relatable.
fem hawke is such a babe idk y maybe its her default design and her va
the end LMAO
In my canon:
Warden : Male (City Elf)
Hawke: Female
Inquisitor: Female
I got this because I went to act 2 didn't have my party members so I did blackpowder promise and this quest because I though it was a solo mission, turns out I was just incompetent!
Hmm yeah I wonder why that guy was looking at you hmm lol Next you will find yourself in the Blooming Rose drunk talking to a wall
The end 🤣
Is your rogue wearing the Mage Champion outfit? 😂
Um, yes xD Sorry for the late reply. Long time ago I used a mod that swapped armor models :)
Mage armor looks the best, war second and rogue third. Too bad that i don't like mages. I play rogue. xD
I don't like warrior outfit at all. I also play as rogue all the time, but sometimes I swap between rogue set and mage :) I like both equally.
Well my canon Warden is a Dalish female rogue melee (in my headcanon melee up close and archer at range) and Female Hawke archer. Don't know what to play in Inquisition though. I don't want to make it full rogue heroes in my story. I would prefer mage but that's stupid because i will side with the Templars in my canon. xD I just fancy more ppl that put hard work and sweat to gain strength and not be born with special power that gives you an edge over others. Come to think of it... i don't want to have a full female heroes story. I want to make a male Inquisitor but the romance with Solas is so revealing about the Dalish. GOD DAMNIT! Hard choices!
Well, I had Human Female Rogue Warden. FemHawke rogue and my Inquisition is also human female rogue. I don't give a crap about how it looks. It'll just tell that rogues can kick asses like no one else :) I don't play mages because of the same reasons you stated. I prefer when my char work hard on, so she can gain something. Not saying mages don't work hard... but they train differently. Plus, playing as rogues is fun as hell. I tried playing as mages, but it quickly became boring to me.
I’m mad that I never knew she did this.
Lol I guess I'm the weird one for running around solo
I thought everyone knew about this
i never play DAO or DA2 solo, especially with DA2s terrible wave system so frankly im surprised someone does lol. I did play DAI solo however since party combat is atrocious and broken
Hahahahahahahahahahaha Hawke did you just admit you're a loony?
Hawke is best waifu in DA2 seriously Bioware what have you done to me?
Started the game with male Hawke, then I found out Ciri VA voiced female Hawke, got abit excited but still, don't wanna start over again.
The VA did better job in this than in W3. Stll she gets owned by the male VA imo.
Totally forgot you could play this game without companions
Never got that one
Нужен ремастер первых двух частей) (Need a remaster))
Hey, i do that! >:(
cant have shit in kirkwall XD
why was this not a thing
that's nice
Imagine instead of Dragon Age 2, this game was called Kirkwall: A Dragon age Story or something like that. It would have been a lot better
...no
@@federicomachado811 well, we all have opinions
Why do you have 3 empty ability slots and why does it bother me so much?
How did you trigger this?? Reasons.
Well, it's been years, but iirc, it's right after Viscount's son is killed. You have to do entire mission just with Hawke, without companions. Then after you leave the chantry, it triggers. Not sure if sarcastic personality is required or not, though. I only play with this one.
Dragon age 2 is better then DA:Inquisition fight me.
It is but both are terrible. DA I is just even worse.
@@Dark_Voice they aren't
Funny how yt recommends 11 year old vid lul
Dragon Age 2 was the worst entry, with the best characters. It's tragic the game was so bad, while the crew was so good. Hawke, Varric, Isabella... Just name a few. Even Cassandra first appear here.
0:55 what is the movement there? tiktok influence?
POV: you're looking bisexually
I think this was a nice idea but terrible execution - either VA doesnt do a good job so I think its directional failure. You gotta have more pauses and thoughts before the sentences otherwise it sounds like reading - completely unnatural pacing of the speech in this.
Male hawke version is better
Nope.
Link?
There is nothing a male hero can do that male heroes have not done a billion times before. a big reason why I tend to go female in my games. 'course, what with PC culture having drowned the gaming industry, there is so little difference between the sexes in games now it's all but nonexistent.
THis was one of the biggest disapointments of my gaming life, got this game for ps3 when it came out, it sucked big time I still hate this game.
It's great and you're not a bright person at all.
