Well, I'm currently in the middle of a playthrough in Dragon Age 2 (Though admittedly, I stopped in the middle when something else grabbed my attention). I didn't think it was 'that bad' so far.

I know, I'm in a minority here, and my opinion doesn't really help your situation.

I recommend you do what you want, or what you think will make the situation fun for you. If that means "100% Snarky Hawke," then by all means.
