becoming in effect a legend in your own time. But legends are all
in the telling.

Dragon Age II utilizes a nonlinear narrative, taking the form of
a story-within-a-story that hinges upon your exploits as told by
the storyteller, Varick. Yet like any good storyteller, Varick
tends to exaggerate from time to time. When questioned on events
related to Hawke, Varick may present a different scenario in
which Hawke's exploits play out. It is within these replays that
the decisions of the players hold sway, as their particular
versions of Hawke relive these events. Is the player's particular
version of Hawke, male or female? A warrior, a rogue, or a mage?
Is Hawke good-natured or something less than a salt-of-the-Earth
type? Is romance in the air amongst characters he/she associates
with? These choices are all the player's to make and each affect
the the outcome of the story at all levels.
