Dragon Age 

The player selects a preset or imported story to determine the events of Dragon Age: Origins and form the background story of Dragon Age II. The main story has a linear frame narrative, unfolding through flashbacks from the perspective of Varric Tethras (Brian Bloom), a humorous though caring storyteller and dwarf rogue. The protagonist is Hawke (Nicholas Boulton or Jo Wyatt), whose gender, first name, appearance, and class type is player-determined. Hawke fled the nation of Ferelden during the events of Origins to the city of Kirkwall as a refugee, eventually rising in power and influence to become the legendary "Champion of Kirkwall", and the center of events that change the course of Thedas. Varric, a companion of Hawke, relates the Champion's "true story" to his interrogator Cassandra Pentaghast (Miranda Raison), mainly based on the protagonist's choices. The story is told in three acts, with each act being separated by a gap of almost three years. Although the story remains unaltered until the two endings, it is greatly influenced by the player's decisions.
