No customisation of the main character?
No origins backstory different for each player's choice?
Dumbing down dialogue?
No import of your old character to continue his adventures?
Forcing gamer to choose a one stereotypic male character?
Giving impressions of the awful GOW clone being made?

Seriously Bioware? What happened?  It looks like some exec vampire took over and destroyed everything that made DA1 great...

What I am seeing looks awful, really awful, and certainly is nothing that I would like to buy.

Customisation, yes there is
No confirmation either way about a backstory
Dumbing down dialogue?, well there's a wheel now but how does that suggest dumbking down?
No old character, thats correct but you can import the data so that your Warden's choices are taken into effect.
Forcing into one male character, no you can be male or female human with customisation
GOW clone, they have said combat will be the same on PC, awaiting conformation for consoles
 
Edit: Check the What do we Know so far thread, in the stickies, for confirmation of the above.

You can customize your character, except for race. You can only be human, but you can choose you gender, class and customize your appearance.

I've said this in other threads, I just hope they give us back the features from DA:O if they intend to make more.

Ok forcing one male/female human character.

-You can customize your main character though not the race (only human)

-Dumbing Down the dialogue is arguable considering some see having the MC voiced as improving the MC as a character rather than being a mute

-They chose to change the direction from voiceless Grey Warden to a character they can build around upon while having enough room to give players choice in the game. You still get to import the file from the original game which affects some parts of the game (from what I understand) since DA2 is set in the same timeline as DA:O.

-You're not forced to choose one stereotypical male character you can customize the look and the gender.

Yes, I  hoped for similiar treatment as in DA1.

I am able to read, so that is not a problem for me. in fact it helps in making mods for the game.

Outside appearance and personality. Most likely class as well.

Customize the face.

Dialogue is supposedly the same just more oragnized using the wheel.

The voice of the Man guy/girl will be voiced by a single voice.

You typically make your character personality into whatever you want.

The only thing uncustomisable is the race.

They were inconsequential anyway. Once you got to Ostagar they were hardly mentioned again until the endgame.

Dumbing down dialogue?
How so? Dev's have confirmed that there will still be the same amount of choices.

No import of your old character to continue his adventures?
DA2 is not about a Blight, so it is pointless to play as a Warden.

Forcing gamer to choose a one stereotypic male character?
You can still be female.

Giving impressions of the awful GOW clone being made?
Combat will remain unchanged on the PC version.

Customize the face.

But not the race as in DA1 and the backstories that came with this.

Unfortunate. I liked the text based system, since it gave more options for dialogue at lower cost.

I still don't understand... There was only one main character in Dragon Age: Origins, The Warden.
Unless you mean companions? Or do you mean customization the Wardens race?

He means the Couslands and The Aeducans and whatnot I mean technically they existed even if you chose one race over another. Like seeing the corpse of the Dwarven Commoner on the Carta's Jail Cells should you have chosen another origin.

Really? So I can have different name then Hawke? And the race choice is VERY important.

They were extremely important for the roleplay feel and choices I made with my character. In fact I expected backstories to be expanded in importance in DA2.

DA2 is not about a Blight, so it is pointless to play as a Warden.

The PC has many things to pursue besides the Blight.Even in DA1

You can still be female.

Ok-one stereotypical male/female human with one backstory. Serious limitation compared to DA1.

I wouldn't call the origins inconsequential, they decided your background, starting skills, starting equipment, and added some changes even extra missions sometimes to your campaign, and highly influenced your options at the landsmeet, not to mention the rewards of the outcome

You can edit his first name as did the previous game. I mean in the past you couldn't edit out being Aeducan or a Cousland.

So being named Hawke isn't really that much of a problem. Except that it's a crappy name

Hawke is the surname. You didn't get to choose your surname in DA:O either.

They were extremely important for the roleplay feel and choices I made with my character. In fact I expected backstories to be expanded in importance in DA2.

Why? All of them were resolved by the end of DA:O

The PC has many things to pursue besides the Blight.Even in DA1

Everything the Warden does is to help combat the Blight. EG: sorting out the werewolf problem wasn't directly fighting the Blight, but you were doing it to free up the Elves to help you fight the Blight.

Ok-one stereotypical male/female human with one backstory. Serious limitation compared to DA1.

Whats so stereotypical about it?

I meant the style and character of the game.

I didn't know you massacred Greek deities in this game.

Basically, Bioware look at metacritic score for Mass Effect 2, think it best game ever (even though it is actually big turd) and think it make Dragon Age super awesome if it Mass Effect. Now game ruined, Starcraft 2 come out, and nobody care.

Each race had a different surname didn't it?

Why? All of them were resolved by the end of DA:O

I meant the system of backstories. And all of them could carry over to your personal story later with further unique developments. Even if they are giving us new character to play the backstory system would be excellent way to further make your character special.

Everything the Warden does is to help combat the Blight. EG: sorting out the werewolf problem wasn't directly fighting the Blight, but you were doing it to free up the Elves to help you fight the Blight.

I certainly didn't view it this way, and was pursuing my Noble Warden adventures with the grim determination to finally avenge my father.

Whats so stereotypical about it?

Hawke?  Do you know how stereotypical name that is? And his screenshot looks like every other lame h'n's game hero I had seen. The more I look at this game the more I fear it is execs attempt to compete with Diablo 3 rather than continue DA1.

I didn't know you massacred Greek deities in this game.

Combat orientated rather than RPG focused.

origins could still be used, different ones but more detailed ones, with more origin specific dialogue and quests and equipment, this is what I myself thought would be in DA2, an improvement to great ideas, not the total removal of them

Regardless of what you were doing, you were a Grey Warden. You can't stop being one. As the Darkspawn will have a minor role in this game, there is no need to be a Warden.

It's just the default Hawke. The Default Warden in the sacred ashes trailer looked stereotypical too.

Are you kidding? More than half of DA:O was the boring combat. It never seemed to end.

We didn't start the game as mindless Warden-bots, but full fledged personas who have their own experience and goals. Becoming a Warden didn't erase that personality for me. And really I would prefer to play a unique and customised figure rather than "Hawke-bot"(with optional female features).

It's just the default Hawke.

I am looking forward to my elven...oops. I can't.

DA had one of the richest dialogue and interaction with other people among RPG"s released.

It's seems that having one marketing face is what actually confuses the people, not the opposite. :D
