The lights are on
Can't get enough Dragon Age II? The folks at BioWare and EA are looking out for your best interests. At last weekend's PAX, the companies showed off the female version of Hawke for the first time. If you missed it, don't fret--she's right here. In addition to Hawke, a new screen of one of the fearsome qunari has been released. Enjoy!

Man she is beautiful (lol) I might get this game then play as a girl just so I could look at this character more often :D this is going to be an awesome game!
I hope the female voice acting is better then mass effects female sheaperds voice acting.
Pimp
I never make female characters in games that might change in dragon age 2
Yep. I'm playing a femHawke. She looks infinitely cooler than maleHawke.
Oh, also glad to see Qunari lookin different.
But yeah, FemHawke FTW.
Only two screens? :'( I was hoping for more. But either way, I'm not going to complain. Any DA2 is better than no DA2.
The new Qunari design is just plain EPIC and I love it. FemHawke is lookin' pretty badass herself, as well. I laughed so hard last night, as I was playing Awakenings and in the Daughter Ransomed mission, you fight a guy named 'Hawke' and I immediately burst out laughing at the irony I found in that.
God, the Qunari are so sexy.
I wish they were a playable race.
I for one loved Sten.
She looks the same!
Sorry.....still playing as a male hawke.
Great reason to buy the game.
Nice frickin' work, Bioware! Its about time you designed some characters that weren't hideous, burdened by the stupid, inane western need to be "gritty" and "realistic".
That girl is stylized JUST ENOUGH to really, really look great. You could put her next to Lightning in FFXIII and she'd hold her own, for sure - and that's something I don't think I could say about ANY of Bioware's previous games. Heck, Jade Empire's Radiant Jen Zi was the only decent character model in any Bioware game from the past ...forever. They've come a long way.
Its really awesome to see them inject some JRPG-like focus into Dragon Age II, like the pre-made character of Hawke instead of making someone generic. I am already far more interested in DA2 than I ever could get for the uber-derivative DA:O because of the subtle changes they're making. Or radical, if they're changing the combat so severely for consoles like they said they would. Really wanna see more of this.
That devil man scares me.
What's with the guys in the background of the qunari pic?
These screens are looking ten times better than the ones from two months ago. Maybe there is hope for the "new art style"... maybe.
This is really good new...she's not ugly.
I'd hit that
the qunaris look so badass now
i just wanna know if the customization is good enough for me to recreate my femShep into ladyHawke.
She ain't bad looking. Not like high maintenece pretty,more rough and tumble, somewhat tomboyish. Perfect!
