** Hawke will do either of these things if you elect to have him handle the darkspawn instead, and will use essentially the exact same animation. Further, all the attacks used in that cutscene are, in fact, usable warrior/ rogue/ mage attacks, and for the exagerated open, do, in fact, kill darkspawn in one shot. AS such, it cannot be said to be cutscene power.
