Escape Velocity

A curated Collection of Fantasy and Science Fiction Media

Welcome to another playlist! This playlist is a collection of songs either inspired by Hawke from Dragon Age, or songs that I feel they might enjoy. I made it for when I need to feel more confident, and for some reason pretending I’m Hawke from Dragon Age does just that.

This playlist is mostly inspired by my personal playthroughs of Dragon Age 2, in which I made choices that may differ from other players. Wanna know what choices I made? Why not listen to find out?

1 - Hawke Family Theme - Inon Zur

The soundtrack to this game is absolutely phenomenal and does a great job of establishing the atmosphere of Kirkwall. Of course I had to include this. 

2 - Hurricane - The Fray

I’ve always found Hawke to be a very inspirational character because I, too, would like to be a bit of a menace. I feel this song does a good job of explaining how other people may have seen Hawke. 

3 - Young and Dumb - the bird and the bee

I don’t think this one needs much explanation. Hawke is living their best life and definitely isn’t thinking every decision through as well as they maybe should.

4 - Everybody Loves Me - OneRepublic

Look, I like to play my Bioware main characters as these humble little angels that just happen to stumble into being a hero. With Hawke? Not so much. I love playing Hawke as very self-aware and a little conceited. This is especially funny if you consider the fact that Hawke only really saves a city, whereas in Origins and Inquisition your’re basically saving the world.

5 - Next To Me - Imagine Dragons

We all know Biowware games would be nothing without a fun cast of companions to talk to. I can imagine Hawke is definitely  grateful to her friends for always having her back.

6 - Counting Stars - OneRepublic

I genuinely don’t quite know why this one is on the list except that’s it’s fun and upbeat, and I think that Hawke would like it.

7 - DIfficult - Peppermint Ollie

I romanced Isabela, but honestly? This song could describe Hawke’s relationship with all of their friends.

8 - Hard to Be the Bard - Christian Borle, 'Something Rotten' Ensemble, Wayne Kirkpatrick, Karey Kirkpatrick

This one goes out to my man Varric. It’s sexy but it’s hard!

9 - Get Down - SIX, Genesis Lynea

This is another song that’s just a fun bop with a Hawke vibe. 

10 - Come And Play - Masquerade - Petra Nielsen

Another fun bop! Hawke would want you to be yourself.

11 - Heroes - David Bowie

They’re heroes, babeyy!

12 - Flaws - Bastille

If Hawke and their companions are anything, it’s flawed.

13 - Jenny (I Wanna Ruin Our Friendship) - Studio Killers

Hawke and Isabela

14 - Don't Stop Me Now - Queen

Do I even need to explain this one? Also, I recently discovered this is a great Karaoke song for me.

15 - Toy - Netta

Some people hated this song, but for me it’s just the right level of zany. Just a little weird, like Hawke.

16 - Black Belt - John Grant

If anyone has a black belt in BS, it’s Hawke.

I hope you enjoy this playlist! Are there any songs you would replace to better fit your own experience of the game? Be sure to let us know on any of our social media accounts! I’d love to hear what you would choose.
