WELCOME. And no, I don't believe that is an uncommon way to play. My first Hawke was trying to be a funny girl the whole way, she was a mage and she romanced Anders and she got a tiny bit upset about things, but was mostly fine until ACT TWO RIPPED OUT HER HEART AND ATE IT. Then she was a bit grumpier. But I didn't think I RP'd her well enough, at the end when she spared Anders I actually didn't think she would have, so I felt a bit cheap and wrong for doing it.
My second Hawke I played as a goody goody rogue, intending to romance Anders, but THAT didn't work (I'm going to go back and have her romance Merrill instead!).
My third Hawke is a mage, and I'm RPing that she's a funny, slightly unhinged girl. I'm actually playing her sarcastic through ACT I and most of ACT II, and then she's going to turn violent, committed to Anders' cause more than he is almost. I have no problems about sparing him at the end, she wishes she had planted the bomb herself.
I totally agree that Bioware is bending our moral compasses here. I love it though.
