I am going to play Dragon Age 2 soon* and I want some opinions. I have never played DA2 before, I played Origins completely blind, with no spoilers and I'd like to do the same for 2 as much as possible
My original plan was (since I played a female dwarf warrior in Origins) to play a male human rogue in DA2, and a female elven mage in Inquisition. I was wanting to play a fem elf mage exclusively to piss Solas off - I don't want to romance him (probably) but I do want to annoy him by being better at his job than he is, because that sounds funny as fuck
BUT. I have been told that a mage option in DA2 is the most narratively rewarding/impactful. And I'm a sucker for having my heart ripped open by video games :) also, I don't know much about the romance options, but I romanced Alistair in Origins if that means anything
so, who should my da2 Hawke be
male rogue
female rogue
male mage
female mage
other. pls elaborate?

I also have not yet played Awakening though I believe I do have it, and do intend to play it first!
