When the Blight swallowed Ferelden whole and hope was buried in its graves, a hero rose… not a prince of noble lineage, nor a child of ancient bloodlines, but a survivor from the ashes of ruin.
Hawke: Savior or Spark of Destruction?
You step into the role of Hawke, the sole survivor of a fleeing family, rewriting your fate in a world consumed by fire. Released in 2011, Dragon Age II, BioWare’s second RPG, plunges you into the heart of a gradual yet devastating revolution in the city of Kirkwall.
From Refugee to Power: A Story of Choices in a Broken World
Dragon Age II chronicles years of struggle, ascent, and the duality of choice. From the alleys of Kirkwall as a refugee to wealth, fame, and political influence — every achievement comes at a price.
The city itself was rotten from within, teetering on the edge of chaos. The clash between Templars and Mages threatened to ignite an apocalyptic war.
Choice Between Control and Freedom
You must decide:

Along the way, unforgettable allies join your journey:
- Varric: a dwarf whose words cut sharper than swords.
- Isabela: a pirate who stole hearts as easily as ships.
- Anders: a mage torn between a divine spirit and a shadowed fury.
- Fenris: a slave-born elf wielding deadly power and bearing scars of the past.
Choices, Betrayals, and the Fall of a City
Every decision, every act of loyalty or betrayal, shook the fate of the land. And in the end, as Kirkwall burned, only one truth remained:
In a world where the line between freedom and chaos was thinner than a sword’s edge… Hawke was no mere hero; he was the spark that ignited a revolution in the heart of history.
