One of the critisisms of Mass Effect is that Shepard doesn't really have a character arc, he is too bland. Is this being aliviated at all in DA II? As lead writer I figured you would know

I'm not sure what you're referring to. There is a plot that determines what happens to your character-- how you react to what happens is up to you. We can't provide a character arc for your character beyond that, which is really no different than Origins or any other RPG we've done. The only difference might be that Shepherd has a set personality-- he's a stoic, hard-ass marine no matter whether he's Paragon or Renegade, and that makes sense for his role in the game. Your DA character will have a personality that's a bit more mutable than that.
