Back on Monday of this week, yet another Hawke was born

[sarasa_cat]

The number of Hawkes saved on two different computers plus one PS3 far outnumbers the number of game saves I have that go all the way through to the end of act 3.

After not touching DA2 (or anything DA related) for a long while, I made a red-tinted Purple!warrior!F!Hawke in late March but abandoned her when distracted and didn't feel like returning to her because playing a warrior in DA2 makes the the battles feel slow, and that's not where my head is at ATM.

Thus, a red-tinted Purple!Mage!F!Hawke was born earlier this week.

I almost *never* play purple hawkes, especially as f!Hawkes (which is why I made that warrior back in march) but ... idk. I've liked other warrior!Hawkes whom I have created but her concept (or lack of one) just didn't click for me?

Also, given how long it has since I have played DA2 with Carver, the whole game feels brand new to me because of it. ;)

Only playing 20-45 minutes per evening, and not every evening. Thus, not all that far in.

Was suddenly obvious to me while taking the Athenril route into the city that this Hawke will someday rationalize becoming a blood mage. As for other decisions? Tbd.

DAI keeps crashing OH NO IM BEING PUSHED INTO DA2'S ARMS AGAIN WHATEVER WILL I

It's been a while but I seem to remember purple Hawke having an interesting relationship with Leandra.

For me, Leandra becomes more interesting with each play through involving a very different HawkePersonality+sibling combination. Looking forward to seeing how this continues to play out with when Hawke speaks purple around Leandra.

Much of my initial conception and headcanon about Leandra was shaped by the Very Difficult relationship that occurs with a blue!Hawke (particularly a blue!mage!Hawke).

Also: it has been so long since I have played a carver-survives family that I forgot how sour carver is during Act 1.
