With the voiced protagonist I don't think it will happen I hope to be wrong.

I'd rather have race selection and a silent character with a wealth of option than a voiced hawke or whatever, eurh. I'd literally vomit (wouldn't buy, no chance at all)


Totally agree with ya

This goes back to my theory on the redesign of the elves in DA 2, they made them soooo ugly because they didn't want players to miss being able to play as them. And dwarves are practically non-existant so that they are mostly forgotten. Might as well just call it Human Age from now on.


I've never liked dwarves. Varric was okay, I guess-- he wasn't as much of a joke as every other one-- but I disliked him for a host of other reasons. So I'm actually glad they're moving away from including them.



As Quoting the Turian from ME2: "You humans are all rascist!":pinched:
But Im done with Hawke he had a whole game and ten years to have his epic story. Failed because the whole game ended up being a prologue. The Warden had One Year, and did his "rise to power"<_<
Hawke needs DLC not DA3.

If it's not there i'm not buying it. There are many other games i can play as a human in a fantasy setting. All this about there being no chance of it because of the voiced protaganist is something i don't really understand. Sure a dwarf from Orzammar will sound diffrent than a Dalish elf. But since they are not doing the Origins anymore is it really so impossible for a dwarf,elf,human to sound the same if they all have the same origin. Say being raised by an adoptive father or something (lame i know but still) in a human town and growing up around humans. It's not like all dwarfs have scottish accents in DA. It would probobly be really clichéd and lame but still it is possible.

Dragon Age is slowly becoming a action game, i have a bad feeling about DA3.

Please no more Hawk!

Well HUMAN WARRIOR is far and away the most popular play style chosen by YOU GUYS the fans. I'm surprised they let people choose to be Rogues or Mages ... that's an awful lot of work for a company that has so much trouble designing levels for their games.

Yeah, pretty much this.
I really hope that DA3 has race selection.

Okey they said the only reason there were no main elf or dwarves character in DA 2, was becouse of the story , So I am hopeing for a story that will allow elfs and dwarves to be the main character.
A open world would be nice, also companion customization as well .

At this point, it's all about the Benjamins.Would multi-raced be financially worth the risk? Perhaps back in the days of non-VO, but considering they wanted VO in Origins even...

I don't see how VO is what prevents different races, as its not like Varric has a "dwarf voice" or Fenris has an "elf voice". What stood in the way in DA2, at least, is the kind of story they were telling fit a human, but not an elf or dwarf. An elf would not be related to Kirkwall nobility, and a dwarf would not be related to mages.

Another large obstacle is that, unfortunately, as much as people can be very vocal, when it comes to walk the talk, few people have even made (much less completed the game with) a dwarf character, for example. Even though dwarves had the best origin stories, people flocked to mage and human noble, which were probably the two worst origins, though most wouldn't realize it since they've never tried anything else.

As emphasized repeatedly by the devs, they budget things quite tightly, and everything comes at the cost of something else. Its understandable why the devs wouldn't want to devote a large amount of resources to something only 10-20% of the playerbase will even choose to see - and almost nobody will "main". Its sad but true, and the community is to blame moreso than the devs.

Why did they merge with EA if not to be able to have more money and resources to make games?

I only ask because if they intend to spend very little and make games in a very short time, why did they merge with EA at all as it is something they could have done on their own.

If the story for DA 3 allows for it - Yes, If the story does not - No.

I'm for race selection, but I think it won't happen. Chances are that we will continue to play as Hawke.

I suspect most of the resources from EA/Bioware are going into SW:TOR.

I've found that race selection is very important to me in Elder Scrolls but not that important to me in Dragon Age.  I'm not entirely sure why that is.  I need some way to individuate my character.  But race doesn't have to be the way to do it.  If I had mage, warrior and rogue origins for a human, that could be as interesting to me as dwarf, elf and human origins.  It depends on the details.  I think choice is required for RPG's but not necessarily racial selection.  I certainly don't oppose racial selection though.

It solely depends on the story. I don't want Bioware making games simply to appease upset fans or rectify something that really wasn't bad. I really did not care for race selection, as I hardly ever used it and the voiced dialogue was a major improvement in making the protagonist seem more human. I know others have wanted race selection and this is a reason why I wouldn't want it completely ruled out. All I really care about what Bioware does with the third is that they take their time, focus on their overall direction with what they want to do with the series (not the fans or EA, because you wouldn't ask fans or a producer to create your lyrics), and to pay homage to both games prior to it. Either way, I'm stoked for more DA.

Will also more than likely pass on DA3 if Hawke returns. Personally did not find him to be a very interesting character,while his voice actor was not that impressive. Having the option to play as different races with their own background is what made Origins unique and special to me. DA2 was very limiting because it was strongly lacking choices and felt watered down to please POTENTIAL future fans instead of the actual fan base. Let Dragon Age have its own identity, and if other people don't like a game with strategy and a silent protagonist let them continue playing something else.
That being said,being able to play as Tal Vashoth/Qunari (as one poster here suggested) would be amazing.

Just my thoughts, sir. But in my opinion human protagonist is overused, some new race or old one capable for all three classes would be nice.

personally I could care less about the character being voiced.. I'm role playing, I use *my* voice (even if it's in my head as I read the lines).. and this is a fantasy 'dragons and wizards' RPG please Bioware, let us be an elf or dwarf! I loved that about DA:O (fond memories of the RPGs I grew up with) you get to role play something new and different!

I thought the game handled the way people reacted to different race/origin quite well, felt like I really had to prove my worth as en elf mage. If the 'extra lines of diolgue' felt cheap to some, how would you have liked to see this handled?

Would be great if the warden could return or as some people said in another thread - maybe have Hawke and Warden come together and you can play either one? Or if it's a third completely different story, return to letting the player have a choice.

The ambiguous diolgue choices of DA:O really made one ponder what the 'best' choice would be or how the others might react.. it was not so cut and dry ala ME diolague wheel (top right for GOOD, bottom right for BAD).. it made it so real.

Still going to get DA2 and hold out high hopes for DA3 to return to the magic that was DA:O.
