Certainly many people believe by now that choosing elf or dwarf and person of non-Hawk surname would benefit their gameplay experience.
People believe that cloaks and horses would benefit their gameplay experience, too. It doesn't necessarily mean they're going to get them.

Though I have a query that needs answering. Are these changes, such as the VO and dialog wheel things that will be present in all future games? Or is the answer based on how well DA2 is received?
We're not locked into anything. If people-- and by that I mean all people, not just the ones who hang out on these forums-- really dislike our changes then the game will do poorly and we will have to go back to the drawing board. Even if it does well, however (as DAO did), doesn't preclude the possibility that we will want to experiment and iterate on what we thought worked and what didn't.In addition, Mr. Gaider, have you ever had the pleasure of playing Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne? I found it to be the closest thing to poetry that I've found in the world of gaming. As such, I'd be curious as to your opinion.
I played Persona 3, but I don't think that's the one you're referring to. There are certain aspects of storytelling in JRPG's that I have difficulty getting past (primarily the uniquitous juvenile hero, but there are other things as well) that make it hard for me to enjoy such a game. That said, I thought it did some things quite well. That's probably not Nocturne, but unless it's radically different from Persona 3 I don't think I'd try it again.

This got quite muddled in ME2 but think its still the gist of it there, hitting a line on right part of wheel moves you on to new set of choices (or ends the conversation) with no way to get back, hitting options on the left generally doesn't but has Shepard get some details and then automatically returns to the same conversation spot.
From description of DA2 wheel you toggle between investigation and back manually at any stage, and the E spoke sometimes moves conversation forward and sometimes it doesn't, depending which mode you happen to be in. Granted though, it'll happen with the toggle approach too.

If so, excellent

Right now the game engages me(and others evidently) in negative way by forcing me to play an ulikeable character with unlikeable name Hawke. So I would say that varied choices would help in gameplay experience.MonkMorkins wrote...
But does that benefit the narrative experience? Arguably, it spreads the narrative thin and makes the process of emotionally engaging you in the story of the character that much more difficult.

Well based on the Comic Con stuff, the sexy Flemeth has a cloth like train on her outfit that flutters around in the wind. So maybe thats a precursor to awesome cloak action?!

ME2 did some pretty big overhauls of ME1, and it still did excellently, despite pre-release protests.

I bought ME2 as well on the success of ME1. I expected the similiar experience but with much more main and side- plot and better graphics.
I got a shooter instead. At the end I fought a terminator-like enemy similiar to enemies from arcade games from 80s and 90s.
I will not buy ME3.

She's a thousand-year-old abomination, a shapeshifter who, according to legend (and according to the grimoire you give Morrigan) seduces mortal men in order to get herself more daughters. Her daughters are reputed to be able to kill men with fear. She's both a seductress and a hag. She played up the hag aspect for the Warden, "Oh, never mind me, I'm just a crazy old bat who saved your life! Go on your quest and take my daughter with you! I'm sure nothing terrible could come from that..." But just because the Warden only saw her as the hag, doesn't mean that's all she was...

For pure narrative I would watch a video or read a book.

We don't REALLY know that much about Hawke as a character.
A very unfitting one as noted by several people.Hawke is just a name.

Do we know his back story is pre-determined?, source?
4) Hawke is just a name. If that seriously drives you over the edge and makes you not want to play the game, then ... Wow.... I don't really know how to respond.
