People keep saying they want to play a dalish elf, but I'm not sure that that's an option, is it? We know we can play an elf, but it might be a default city elf.

In the PAX panel about the race Bioware confirmed we can play as a dalish mage.

I listened to that recently. I thought that the speaker STARTED to say yes, and then backpedaled and said that 'Mage' might be a background that trumps race. I took this to mean that our options for elves might be dalish/city, but if we're a mage, our background is the same whether we're elf or human (basically, like Origins).

I just looked it up, and it's at about 38:00.

He says yes initially, but then he goes back and talks about mage being a different thing than just race.

it's rather ambiguous. I would LOVE to be wrong and be able to choose what type of elf my mage is (or, for that matter, whether I'm an apostate or circle mage), but I don't wanna get my hopes up.

Maybe our "origin" is determined by what race/class combination we choose?  For example, a Human Mage may be from some Circle (perhaps Tevinter), while an Elven Mage may be a Dalish First to their Clan's Keeper.  This could extend to warriors and rogues too.  An Elven Rogue could be from Antiva, while an Elven Warrior may be from Ferelden.  Given the races we can choose from, a Qunari Warrior or Rogue could be Par Vollen, but a Qunari Mage would likely have to be Tal Vashoth.

A female Qunari warrior or rogue would have to be Tal-Vashoth.Qunari females don't fight.At least that's my recollection.

Very true.  Good point.  Gender could also play a role I guess.

[King Cousland]

I doubt any Qunari Inquisitor will follow the Qun. Even from what little we know about the game at this point, the Qun seems far too rigid a philosophy to be compatible with the Inquisition.

The qunari PC will be Tal-Vashoth/Vashoth. They're qunari as members of the race, not the Qun.

In a military role, perhaps. And even then, there are exceptions. But Ben-Hassrath fight too. Look at Tallis.

Yeah, that's how it seems to work. We don't get to choose our background any more but there are different backgrounds among each race.

[Reznore57]

I think one of the quote is again from the Chant of Light , the one about the souls and water.
I sort of doubt it's Arlathan...in theory Arlathan is way up north from where we 're supposed to go.
But that forest we've seen in those late concept art was probably populated by the ancient elves at some point.

Anyway it's , again , really pretty.I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the new landscapes .This game seems really really big.
I'm thrilled by the elven forest thing , there's probably not a lot of people living there...So I guess it's all about looking for ancient mysteries.I wonder how the Inquisitor end up there ...I mean I have a lot of crazy theories and somehow it makes sense to me.
But from what we know of the whole situation ...I mean the fade tearing apart , the templar/mage conflict , red lyrium etc...the first thing that come to mind is not "hey let's go looking for ancient elven lore!"
I'm very very curious now.

Does that mean I'll need 12 characters to get all the backgrounds?   I mean, I'll do it, but DA4 better not come out for a good five years.

I think there's a certain amlount of overlap (they've been quite vague about it) - so a human rogue and a human warrior might share a pre-set background, ditto for the non-qunari mages and dwarves. 

I don't think it's necessarily the case that every class/race combination has loads of unique content, though it's not clear at this point how it all works. Since backgrounds aren't customisable anymore, this presumably only influences the start of the game and some of the class/race-specific content that pops up over the course of the game.

Well a Dalish Mage background has been mentioned, so maybe not that.

"The ultimate hope for a concept artist is for the final in-game art to surpass its concept art. That has definitely the case with this image. Come Inquisition’s release, I think everyone will agree that the in-game version makes this image look restrained and quaint." - Matt Rhodes (on the topic of the arlathan concept art)

...Gavin Dunne aka Miracle of Sound did say in a channel update that he was working on a song for a big game coming out in 2014 and that he was talking with the Devs for inspiration and getting clips who could use for a video. He also did a song for DA2

[Suledin]

Do not mistake Arlathan Forest with Elvhenan. The picture mentions the Arlathan, but the place presented on it could be entirely somewhere else since Elvhenan covered most of Thedas. So the location of the place on that picture could be in Orlais, Ferelden who knows where. I think we should take Arlathan as a reference to the history of Thedas.

Not exactly, there are no different orgin stories in DAI and our orgin will always remain the same no matter what race we pick it will always remain the same and every character will go through the same opening sequence.

However our backgrounds will give us different reasons for being there based on our race+ class choice, but I doubt they are going to by as diverse as that besides the mage ones and sounds like there will probably be no more than 7 of them( though if they did sets it would bring the total to 11 but I think that's unlikely), one each for every warrior/rogue + race combo and 3 separate ones for mages that will be fairly diverse and will be the ones that diverge.

Elven Warrior+Rogue= ?
Elven Mage= Dalish Lavellan
Human Warrior+Rogue= Trevelyan
Human Mage= ?
Qunari Warrior+Rogue= Adaar
Qunari Mage= ?
Dwarven Warrior+Rogue= Cadash 

Also orgins=/=backgrounds in DAI, the orgin stories were axed completely from DAI when they brought back races, backgrounds as in your characters past history and what their back stories are were salvaged and incorporated into the race+class itself. But it won't really change much or have a lot of impact since it's pretty much just going to be blurb like in mass effect but with more content in game than both series that we can fully explore. 

It would be easier if people stopped calling them orgins since that's going to remain only a DAO only thing, just call them backgrounds.

Hmm. It was mentioned that a character of the leak was completely changed/scrapped

 

What they said was literally no one should hold up that leak as gospel because not every character in it still exist, or that they have changed significantly.

I'm not going to say whether she's a companion, or if she's even still in DAI. Not every character mentioned in that survey was a companion, and some of them either no longer exist or have changed signficantly. Hence why I have said before not to hold it up as gospel-- you may be very disappointed.
