Re: Custom Hawke in DA:2
Yes and no...
I know great answer, and totally unhelpful, so let me explain.....
Both the oiriginal DA and DA2 worked at importing your game, and I think in the later DA2 the old Bioware site was up and they still used it. I can't remember for sure exact dates and time of such but basically for DAI they created the DA Keep to handle the imports and for a time they mined data off the old Bioware site to do this. But like everything else, things change and since Bioware was part of EA, they migrated all the old site forums and such over here to Answers, and for a time left in the background the Bioware site importing so DA and DA2 still worked. Now more time passed and I am guessing they tired of upkeep on the legacy site so they shut it down, thus both DA and DA2 no longer have a site to report their data to. So you play both games and want your data to be in DAI...cause that was one whole great thing about the series.....and now DA and DA2 uploads no longer work.....result, is you can still get your data into DAI, but it requires YOU to work at it to do so. You have to personally log into DAKeep, create or edit a character there and then fill out the tapestry choices as the same as you played the game for them. Once you get everything set, races, sexes, choices, and such, then lock it down and set it as export default world and you should be good to go. Not the best system, but considering the age and changes in systems, probably the best you could hope for.
Now as to Hawk appearing into DAI....yeah, BUT the graphics engines are different and character looks didn't transfer well(even if they could do the transfer, which see above). So for whatever reason, they didn't offer a face import but instead when Hawk appears, you are pulled out of the game and back into character creator screen for Hawk and you get to recreate in the new graphics engine your Hawk as close as you can.....or you can say to heck with this and just use default Hawk. I don't know how much will carry over to the next installment so you will have to decide if the effort is worth it.
