Is it just me, or does the entire design look far too much like some utterly cliche and stylized anime crap you would see from some mainstream japanese game developers?
To answer your question, 'yes, it's probably just you.'
However, to be fair, your analytical, predictive skills, which appear to be based on assumptive guesswork, could be better put to use in the arena of politics. You do seem to have a flair for flinging. Unless of course, you were providing a preemptive, but constructive criticism in the event you don't actually ever purchase and play the game.

My intent is not to mindlessly insult Bioware, because they are definitely my most favourite of all video-game developers... BUT this looks severly different from anything from the DA 2 I was expecting...
That's good that you clarified yourself.
Another expectancy, amazing. (You do know DA2 is schedule for release next March?)
But, given that DA2 has been in development for some time, you probably didn't inform BioWare early enough for them to take your
'expectancy' into consideration. However, it's possible that BioWare are writing down
'expectancies' for DA3, so cheer up.
Perhaps you could wait for the game to be completed like the rest of us and then tell us how well or how poorly your expectancies were met.
