But if the protagonist is seeker, we cant choose the mage class
Aah, that explains a bit of the dilemma.
If I were you, Bioware, I'd cleverly integrate a seeker story line with as many races as possible, and surely make the option of being a mage.
We could have a renegade/pro-chantry in seperate to the characteristics' (do-gooder/psycho/etc (NOT paragon/renegade)) protagonist, with two (branching) story lines. That would make many happy, I presume.
I think the extreme bipartisan conflict was part of what many people disliked about DA2. How you had to be extremely pro-mage or pro-templar with no choice to be neutral. Likewise, with this game, making people have to be extremely pro-Chantry or anti-Chantry (with no choice to be neutral) is probably not the best route.
I think the way they did it in Origins, with varying levels of devotion or antagonism for the order that the protagonist joins (Grey Warden Order for Origins), would be best.

edit: the two story lines could work well with many a race. We could have Kossith and Elven mage as anti-chantry exclusively, yet other race options available for that story line as well (renegade human, dwarf) - and we could also have the exclusively pro-chantry human, dwarf and maybe an elf. Though Human could very easily be the exclusively pro-chantry one as well - that would inspire trying out different races, as you cannot go anti-chantry with a human (and pro-chantry with a Kossith).
Eh, I don't think that's such a good idea. Having your character's personal beliefs decided for you is not very good for a role-playing game. There will probably be plenty of people who'll want to make atheist humans, devoted elves, etc. You never know. I think it would be better to go the Origins route and just let the character express their personal opinions in conversations (regardless of their race, but maybe have the dialogue just tweaked a little to acknowledge their race) and build from there.
Differing religious beliefs and levels of devotion? Awesome.
Having said religious beliefs and levels of devotion pre-determined exclusively by race? Not so much.
EDIT: I like that your ideas are open to different races though! ^-^
