I would personally vote for the PC being an elf in this case. It sort of seems like there's more story potential that way, or at least different and interesting hooks.

No, it must be Dwarf.

Anything but Dwarf. Or Dalish. 
Actually, since we are probably getting only one race(budget, voicing, etc), I highly doubt we will be getting something other than human. Forcing people into being dwarf...I know I won't be playing it

I just want to say, I really hate the title 'Dragon Age 3: The Breach'. It just sounds weird, and I think people wouldn't know what to think of it. Out of the titles listed, I think 'Inquisition' is the most likely. It has the best sound and instantly gives an idea of what it might be about (maybe the wrong idea though). That's my opinion anyway.

So where does that leave the people that don't want the war?

The people who want to restore the status quo?

Remember: that was Kirkwall. We are not going to be in Kirkwall.

Aldenon the Great fought against the Chantry controlled Circles, and so did the mages who joined his side. I remember the mage protagonist in Origins being able to say that the Circle was a "prison" and an "oppressive place," and having the opportunity to ask the new ruler of Ferelden to emancipate his people from the Chantry and the templars. Apparently, even mages outside of Kirkwall can desire for their people to be free.

Aldenon the Great didn't so much fight against Chantry-controlled Circles as he did leave in a huff when Calenhad started buddying up with the Chantry to get their much-needed support. After that, if the history codexes are correct, he led all of one battle against the Circle in which he ended up royally screwing the pooch. He sunk into obscurity after that because no one hands out medals or names mountains after failures known only for legendary hissy fits.

For all his/her faults, Hawke did about ten times as much for the cause of mages as that feckless loser.

Exarch would be a cool name... if I knew what an Exarch was. Sounds kind of like Primarch.

Aldenon the Great fought alongside his rebel mages after Teyrn Calenhad betrayed him, but eventually he disappeared. King Calenhad tried to locate Aldenon some years later, and simply vanished during his search for the mage who wanted to create a kingdom where all men would be equals. And it's not accurate to say he fell into obscurity when his story is passed down from Circle mage to Circle mage after all these years.

They're all religious references, aside from The Breach.

When was the last time a Greek religious term was used in a game title? They do sound a bit verbose and obscure...

(I don't want to even imagine people trying to pronounce them )

That's my main issue with them as well. Inquisition and Inquisitor are the only ones that sound accessible, and even then they're somewhat loaded terms. Breach makes me think that the game involves Morrigan's child, which was apparently a breach birth.

Meh. I don't know if it'll be worth it unless there are racial customization options, and if there are, we might be forced back into being silent, which I'd hate.

It's maybe a little unrealistic to be annoyed about a set character with a title (that has no species customisation options) while also disliiking the alternative (a blank slate, of any species) because it's a silent one. 

Fully-voiced racial customisation options just don't seem possible, at least not with this kind of budget (and would they even be worth it? How many used elves/dwarves in DAO, relative to the expense of giving them a full voice in DA3?) - but it looks like we can expect a more customisable protagonist, at least in the sense that they aren't defined exclusively by their name and family - which Hawke is, for most of the game. 

And that, I think, is a positive thing. 

Human/elf, then? As a compromise? Elves are likely going to be more popular than dwarves, and easier to integrate into this setting. Dwarves worked for DAO because it was all about fighting darkspawn, but I don't think it'd do as well here.

With the name of the game, I wished they'd just stayed away from numbering them.

Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: Exile
Dragon Age: Inquisition

sounds so much cooler than

Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age 2
Dragon Age 3: Inquisition

It's too late for DA2, but hopefully they'll drop the 3 from the next game.

While I don't necessarily disagree with this idea, I doubt Bioware will drop the numerical designation. The number, at a glance, tells the consumer that this is a sequel and not a expansion or spinoff.
Personally, I'd be just fine with Dragon Age 3 but that's not a very interesting title.

Expansions being released on their own discs are almost nonexistent now, so I don't think that's a real concern.

Indeed, edited my post with an "or spinoff."

I liked the title Apocrypha.

Spin-off? Who's concerned about video games being spin-offs? Are we getting the Jeffersons of video games with DA3?

I know quite a few people who are significantly less interested in a spinoff as opposed to a full-fledged sequel. Take Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations for example, many people were burnt out as playing as Ezio and dealing with relatively similar themes with his story arc (even though I think they were different enough and still fantastic games). Now that Assassin's Creed 3 is coming out those same people are excited to get the game, because it'll have new gameplay, new locations, etc. If it was just called Assassin's Creed: Revolution for example many people who'd assume it was a spin-off and that it wouldn't have those things. 
The same thing could happen with DA3.

You can't possibly have - there were too many topics to follow. "Keeping up" stopped being an option pages ago.
