Hawke's dialogue contains a list of the conversations that Hawke shares with his/her companions, in which they discuss each other's backgrounds, and their reactions to the game's events. Hawke's dialogue is unique in that it can change based on what point in the game it is, friendship or rivalry, personality and whether or not Hawke is in an active romance with that character. Hawke does not participate in most of the party banter in Dragon Age II, but does so in subsequent DLC.
