Dragon Age: Origins will always be better than it’s sequel to me. The Warden was my character, the Warden was me. I am not Hawke, and BioWare can’t force me to be.

 Agreed.

This is also true for myself. 

The main thing that kills immersion into Hawke as a literal projection of the player into the game world (for me at least) is the inability to make some decisions that the Warden would have been able to make in Origins. Want to kill Petrice after Shepherding Wolves? Nope, we need her for plot-related reasons later. Want to kill Sebastian before he has a chance to raise an army against Kirkwall? Nope, sorry, but thanks for preordering the Signature Edition! My Warden would have slaughtered both of them before you could say “MAKER NO!”
