    Here it is people...  
      

      
     
    Edit: OK MosseyMcMan your right. I was in a bit of a hurry and I just wanted to put it up.  
     
    Are far as what I think of the voice? I like it. She has this sweet voice but with a level of sarcasm too it. I'm definitely considering playing as Female Hawke first now.

    Geez, it's about time I saw something about the female Hawke. For a while I didn't think there was a female option.

    It's pretty good, looks like I'm playing a female Hawke, btw, how does the male sound? Is he better than Mark Meer?

    (I'd add some commentary before the mods shut this down BUT)
     
    It's about time some voice of Lady Hawke was available. That said, she sounds ... I don't know, whiny almost? Especially when the mean options are picked. This was just a short sample so maybe she's great.
     
    Maybe.

    I'm still picking lady Hawke but she sounds almost...bland, a bit? Like almost a bit too "dignified" and not really any attitude

    I wasn't too keen on my female's voice in DA:O either, though I think it's because all I ever here is, "Right."  "Let's get started then!" "Well this is going to be easy." 
     
    The new voice sounds fairly similar but hopefully having actual lines will make it better.

    Considerably. It's the same voice actor who portrayed Bann Teagen. The ginger fellow during Redcliffe, brother of the Arl.

    I have a feeling I'm going to play as a female mage my first time through, just like I did in DA:O. 
    I wonder why I chose to play as a female mage in DA:O, though...

    Sounds like Leblanc from LoL.
     
    I'd prefer Jennifer Hale just because Jennifer Hale is a badass.

    Having not heard male hawke's voice, I don't know what to compare it to. Doesn't sound too great though.

    She's no Jennifer Hale, that's for sure. Though I may be weird, since I thought Claudia Black was pretty bad as Morrigan.

    Somehow I knew this thread would turn into another Meer vs Hale argument. Let it go people...this isn't the place.
     
    Female Hawke comes across as very pedestrian. Doesn't sound like a convincing 'Champion of Kirkwall' or what I expect a champion to sound like. Instead of dignified, she sounds whiny and stuck up. Plus, I think I've seen enough female booty in my Mass Effect playthroughs. Time to man up as Nick Boulton. He sounds classy!

    She sounds a little bit like Bayonetta, as if it was the same actress but not as "british-y".
