She playes one of the leading roles in the first act of Dragon Age 2, mainly because she is the sister of the main character, and she has a few very good banter sequences with the other members of the party, constantly teased about her femininity by Isabela and talking to Anders about life as a mage that is on the run from the Circle.īethany is good natured and forward looking, even if the burden of being an apostate makes her rather squeamish when it comes to being around Templars or when Hawke chooses to confront them.
In many ways Dragon Age 2, the latest release from BioWare in the role-playing space, is a game about family and uprooting, about how three (or four depending on who's counting) people that care deeply for each other can start over in a new land and re-create their destiny in the face of adversity.Īnd the most interesting member of the Hawke family, in some ways better developed than the player character, is Bethany, the apostate mage younger sister that starts with quite the compliment of offensive powers and is especially helpful in the early stages of the game.
