Forcing the main character to be human isn't what was wrong with DA. ME is fantastic without turian Shepard. The problem with DA2 can be described thusly:
Hawke: You tried to kill me! Now I'm going to kill you in this abandoned house in the middle of the night where no one knows you're here!
Petrice: No. You can't. I'm plot armored.
Hawke: Really? Damn. Okay. Bye.
There's like a dozen goddamn scenes with the exact same problem: the story is written like a jRPG and the dialogue is written like a Bioware RPG. They give you options to do stuff but the options are only there for show, they don't actually follow through with your decisions. A major plot point, the Enigma of Kirkwall explaining what in the holy hell is wrong with the city, is hidden in obscure codexes that 1% of the playerbase reads. And even if you do read them, it only makes every character in the game look like a moron for not noticing that they're living in a portal to Hell. Then there's the retcons. Gah, I'm getting a headache just thinking about that game.
I agree that being human in the game isn't a particularly big issue, its really a preference. it's just a step in the wrong direction, for me personally at least. I think the complaints about it were rather minute compared to all the retcons and story problems and reused terrain. But they are putting more development time into this one so hopefully we won't get the same issues DAII had.
I think the main thing that worried me about being forced to play as human was the rumored possibility that you would start as the leader of the Inquisition for which the game is named, or more likely some templar/seeker agent that leads a squad or something. The whole "must be human" thing seemed to lead credence to that rumor.
Quite honestly, I don't think I would want to play the game if I'm forced to be a templar or templar agent of some kind and have templar convictions at the beginning, even if you get to change them throughout the story. Still that was just a rumor so no reason to take it too seriously until more information becoems available.
