That horrible Act 3 quest that ends with Thrask's death made me realize during my first PT of DA2 that everything was definitely going to shit before the credits rolled. I cannot even begin to say how much it depressed me. Oh wait, I already have. That quest radically changed my initial Hawke. The person she was after Thrask's death was not the same as the person before.

With a little polishing plus putting it fully back in my Mari Hawke's world, this quickly written scene could become interesting. But it will always be an "ow."
