With everything we learning about DA3. What warden and hawke do you have as your main chars and why? What choices did they make that you like to see come in the game in some way shape form?--Dalish Arrow (talk) 16:32, December 6, 2013 (UTC)

Can we only have one canon lol? --Jamirflyd (talk) 18:07, December 6, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't have a single canon. Everytime I play DAO and DA2 I do something different or try something I haven't done before.Gruedragon (talk) 23:14, December 6, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I have many different story lines, but the one I'm going to go for first is that of my Origins Warden, being a Human Male Warrior, who had the god baby and married Anora and went into the eluvian with morrigan. By Hawke was a male mage, who sided with the mages (didn't make a big whipping difference) and romanced that pirate Isabela. And in inquisition I'm gonna be a human male Rogue so you can see the pattern lol ;), nevertheless I'm gonna play the trilogy continuously and go different routes and races (with qunari coming in now). Its a vast array of possibilities and even Bioware have claimed, there is no single 1 canon, despite their own definition. I would take their words with a pinch of salt though. But thats mine.

Different Storylines, but main one I had a Male Human Noble Warden Dual-Wield Warrior who romanced Leliana and did the Dark Ritual with Morrigan. Kind Hearted but Cunning at times, he saved the Mages in the Circle, cured the Werewolves curse, and destroy the Anvil of Void. Also convinced Alister and Anora to rule together. I didn't do Awakening nor acquire Shale (didn't know she was free). Only DLC I really did was Return to Ostagar. My Hawke was a Sarcastic female Rouge who romanced Fenris and friendship'd everyone except Anders, Merrill, and Sebastion. Sided with the Templars despite her sister being a Circle Mage, but spared Bethany. Did both DLCs with her and sided with Larius then helped Tallis despite her lying. Making a new storyline but that's pretty much the main one.--Liexi (talk) 01:18, December 8, 2013 (UTC)

I have one for every origin expect casteless dwarf, along with four corresponding DA2's with one warrior, rogue and mage male Hawke, and one female mage Hawke. Sided with the templars only once to see what that was like, it makes no sense for Hawke to do otherwise unless Bethany is dead or a Warden. Otherwise Hawke is either betraying his/her fellow mages or agreeing to kill his/her sister. Romanced everyone across both games except Fenris. Basically taken every option on the major decisions, though I've yet to play as an Orlsain Warden. I like to think of it as a multiverse of several cannons rather just one cannon. I imagine I'll playthrough Inquisition four of five times anyway, which is probably what Bioware is expecting players to do. --Silver Warden (talk) 02:56, December 8, 2013 (UTC)

I too have the multiple playthrus but the one canon I have for Origins is (as my name suggest) a Warden Mage named Ferris, who willingly did the OGB ritual, and became the Chancellor of Ferelden, till he finally found Morrigan and left with her through the mirror. Being both a Grey Warden and a Mage he always made sure to act as a shining example of both. (ex: Killing the Architect because its what a Warden should do, even if this one was proposing an alliance. Being powerful without using blood magic to prove it's not necessary etc etc). With DA2 my canon Hawke is the cover art mage. I'll be honest here this is where I broke the rule of character knowledge vs player knowledge. Seeing Hawke during Varric's prologue, subconsciously imprinted in my head THAT is how the story had to go. Why would varric simply retell the version where Carver was a Grey Warden when he was a Templar? it all just didn't sit well with me, so for immersion sake my canon Hawke is Garret Hawke with the paint on his face and everything. He romanced Merrill. Chose not to romance Isabella partly because Isabella is a bit too promiscuous, and partly (again, player v character breaking) her involvement with king Alistair during the comic makes more sense to me if she's not tied to Hawke, otherwise I have to wonder what he was doing that was SOOO important he couldn't assist. I know it's Bioware Canon, but I like my decisions to somewhat match up to theirs so the extra content (such as the comic) extends my personal canon. He sided with the mages, and let Anders live, so he has to kinda live with what he did. for DAI planning to continue the Mage tradition, I'm curious as to the explanation when a Mage is put in charge of the inquisition, and has his own army, and land, etc. but personally who better to investigate a tear in the veil then a mage?

I have been thinking about making a world where being a mage would be worse than anything... even worse than it already is for them. just to see how it goes, just a pro chantry/templar cannon. DA:O male warrior human noble warden, romanced a non hardened Leliana destroyed werewolves, annulled the circle, recovered the ashes, destroyed the anvil, harrowmont king, alistair and anora married, ect. DAII female warrior hawke, bethany dies in deep roads, anti mage with every quest, romanced sebastian, killed anders, sides with Templars. I am just really curious to see what would be different in that world. my normal cannon will be similar to everyone else that has posted so far. Lord Aeducan (talk) 01:02, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

In DA:O, most of my Wardens are usually the same: save the Circle, end the werewolf curse, save Arl Eamon's family, choose either Bhelen or Harrowmont for the throne, Alistair and Anora marry and take dark ritual. On rare occasions, I chose to save the Anvil of the Void or spare Loghain. Then in Awakening, I want to keep all my Warden recruits loyal and ally with the Architect. In DA2, I keep the Hawke sibling with the Grey Wardens, as the thought of the Circle or Templars makes me shudder. Always, I side the Circle, cause I wanna show the Chantry and Templars that they won't have their way anymore. Only on 2 occasions do I side with the Templars to become Viscount. When DAI arrives, I will lead the Inquisition into making alliances, to protect the innocent and bring down the current world order into establishing a new one.--Unic of the borg (talk) 03:51, December 10, 2013 (UTC)
