+ People like self inserting into the character, which the Warden and Inquisitor can do much more than Hawke.
Hawk has most personality out of the 3 and you can still play him as either Paragon of Virtue, a Joker or Bloodthirsty savage.
But he had most of his own personality, ambitions and goals. Smth other 2 don't have, Hero of Ferelden and Inquisitor seem like they just accidentally stumbled into the plot
Still his story imo is the best out of the three, I felt bad for the man his life never stopped being shit.
He is by far strongest of the 3, and yea depending on the outcome his life can be shit, tho in my game his sister lived and Hawk went off with Isabela and survived events on DA3
Fuck sacrificing him in DA3
