Don't be embarrassed about playing it three times. I think I've played it close to/more than eleven... :oops:
As for Hawke being the child of Morrigan, they've already denied this. He/She is a survivor from Lothering that escapes with his/her family and goes on over ten years to become the hero of Kirkwall. /nerd

Ah yes, I know that.. I guess that by saying him, I kinda excluded the opposite.. I apologize.
And I think that you can find some Female Hawke concept art somewhere.. At least I think I remember having seen some.

Yeah I wasn't trying to correct you, just trying to get it out there that Hawke doesn't have to be a dude, in spite of what the trailer shows.
I was really excited when the first Dragon Age had female characters that ran the gamut of interesting personalities, and furthermore you yourself could play the game without thinking "Oh right this was designed with a guy in mind.." Then with DA2 not only do they take out all the cool race options, they go back to highlighting that their hero is mister MANLY MAN but could also be a female.. if you're in to that..

Yeah, it is sad that they chose to take that route.. But a lot of fans wanted a "Commander Shepard" in Dragon Age so now they've created Hawke..
How that prevents them from giving players an elven or dwarven Hawke is beyond me.. Other than perhaps the lore behind the game making an elf or a dwarf unlikely to do whatever it takes to become the "Champion of Kirkwall".. Or maybe the extra amount of work it would take.

I don't so much mind the limited race, but I agree that it's a bit sad if they focus too much of making the char a man's man with just the female gender attached "because they have to". I think DA:O made a good job of getting the storyline from both genders. I've never minded playing a male character in games, I've had tons of fun as both Altair and Max Payne, but when they DO allow you to play a female, it sucks when you can feel that it hasn't been focused on nearly as much as the male counterpart.
