What race, gender, appearance, and class of character do you plan to play in DA:I?

My second will probably be a Male Rogue, he will undoubtedly be a polar opposite in personality to my Mage.
Beyond that, I have no idea.

I'd want to play a rogue but in both the previous games, I really didn't like it.
I didn't much care for warrior or rogue in DA2, so if it's similar combat, probably a mage again in DA3.
I would want to play as a rogue though. Then I would know all my protagonists could form a super team if they wanted and would be unstoppable :')

So, your idea of roleplaying and how much depth it has is based on the idea of a direct reference to your choices in-game? Because if that's the case, Skyrim is just as deep, if not deeper than Dragon Age.Fast Jimmy wrote...

The problem with classes is that as soon as I choose one, I'm locked in. There's no room for expansion aside from the specializations. Because of this, I have a hard time choosing which class I want to be.
It doesn't help that Skyrim allows me to be anything I want and has a system in place that fully supports it. Vampire hunter? Yep. Werewolf? Yep. Thief? Yep. Werewolf vampire hunter thief assassin? YES!
It allows you to roleplay anything you can imagine and doesn't restrict you to classes. The system is very flexible and allows you to play your way right from the beginning. But the most impressive part is still how the game supports your head cannon in such a believable and satisfying way.
So, after playing a game like Skyrim, it's hard to go back to Dragon Age. The game feels so archaic with it's three basic classes and weak specializations.
At the very beginning of the game you must choose who and what you want to be without ever playing the game. That menas if you thought the description of a rouge sounded awesome, but you didn't really enjoy playing as one, you'll have to restart and re-create your character and choose a different class.
This is all true, but it's the reason I love Dragon Age as a series - the fact that you can't see everything on a single playthrough. In Skyrim, I played for 100 hours on one playthrough, but had no reason to ever start over. The opportunity for head canon is great, but in game, the roleplaying was shallow.
In DA, the game can reference and make slight changes to the experience if I am a mage, or if I support Templars or mages; since the game tracks all of that. It gives less freedom in character creation, but they also do a better job of fleshing out your character with in game content.
In Skyrim, the people always bring up topics about what you're doing in the world or even what kind of armor you're wearing or choice of weapon. I've even had guards threaten to arrest me because I was wielding the Mace of Molag Bal. They would tell me to get it away from them or risk being thrown in the dungeons.
In Dragon Age, you get a slightly different line of dialogue depending on your choices and what class you choose to be. But that's usually as far as it goes. The exception being who lives or dies (Carver or Bethany) at the beginning of DA2. But you never hear people talking about you or what your doing in the world, who you are, or the people you work for.
Even Fable is more reactive than Dragon Age.

Gender varies, I was mostly female in Origins because I really enjoyed the Alistair Romance, but was able to play both gender Hawkes because of the adaptability of the LI companions in DA2.

warrior of some sort for the first game. I'd be really happy if I could dual-wield again.
This. I was bummed when I learnt warriors in DA2 couldn't dual-wield, so I had to go Rouuge for my first pt. I hope warriors can do it again in DA3

With any luck the game will be conducive to multiple playthroughs.

My second playthrough is usually a female archer of some sort. In DAO this was a Warrior, but had to be a rogue in DA2. If warrior archers are back, I'll go that way. Mage will be third run...but only if they're as awesome as they were in DA2. That was one of the few games I could tolerate being a mage in.
