 I would think that the concept of Origins, one of their most popular and demanded features in the franchise, would be something they would be touting and waving a flag for from day one if they were going to do it. Instead, the things we've heard them say about complaints they heard about DA2 were combat, re-used levels, inability to equip our companions and the size of the world. Not once did they mention 'not having origins' as a major complaint about DA2 (even though, as this thread and many others shows, it is the case). If it was a flaw they had their hearts set on fixing, I would have thought they'd have mentioned it by now.

I find strange that too...but DA3 is just being officially announced, and what is been said is almost nothing. just I don't get the silence in reguard of playable races and origins.

But I think an announce too early about it would means a lot of people wouldn't buy the game. Maybe, they would not tell about the presence of races and origins before the release of the game.

And for now, they let us hope or be angry about it. So we continue to wait and see in trepidation, so when the game is out people would be so in Hype to play the game, that even if they hate the Human in DA with passion, they boy the geme anyway because they are too curious

Just give origins by class, if they can't be bothered to do 6.

Just have an apostate mage origin.
An asssassin/thief rogue origin.
Or a knight warrior type of origin for warriors.

I like the idea of you walking into a village, the town guard goes "Who. Are you?" You spend seven hours creating the perfect looking character with zero skills. You move on to the local inn.

"How can you have *ZERO* skills when you're an adult, Young Adventurer?" the local innkeeper then asks.

"What?" you exclaim somewhat incredulously. "No, I spent my youth honing my abilities as the best archer of my tribe!"

"Well then, perhaps you can use your archery skills to get rid of the big rats in my larder!" the innkeeper suggests. Only it wasn't a suggestion, because you had no gold to pay for the six pints of mead you had.

You then spend the next thirty minutes missing rats with your bow and arrow. You feel you might have died and come back to life in the interim. Suddenly, you remember you weren't the best archer in your tribe. You didn't even belong to a tribe. No, you honed your skills on a battlefield and smashed things with axes. You axe those mice to death. Only you do it with a club, because that's all the innkeeper had in the larder.

Yeah, you must have taken one too many blows to the head in battle. That's why you don't remember anything. Yeah.

I would like to suggest a possible origin to DA3 for the Dalish mage...


the PC is the younger betwenn the two apprentice of the clan's keeper, who should go to another clan who didn't have mage. Once at the place for the exchance, is found aut that the other clan is been slaughtered by Templars, to find mages.
The clan is surrounded, and can't do anything else but give the templars what they are searching: the Keeper and his apprentice.

The clan give the Keeper and the younger apprentice (PC) to the templars. The keeper is killed, but the apprentice is forced to enter in the circle.

Time later, the PC is judged reliable enough to enter in the Inquisition by the Chantry.

Now: your character would hate his people who abbandoned he/she to the templars, or would you just try to help as many mage/keeper as he/she can?
Would he/she like to return to his people, undertanding their sacrifice, or he/she fell too betraied?

Apostate mage would also be a good one

[daffl5]

maybe even a kossith mage origins

[daffl5]

but a scene i would love is running through a forest from templars or blood mages

[daffl5]

or maybe even being the chaser

[Felya87]

For a Human origin could be fun having sa PC a Templar apprentice who is saved by a mage who should be his/her prey... I don't really like playng as a human, but it could be interesting.

 It is tragic that even the clearest wishes of the consumers will go ignored... 

[Felya87]

however, any origins should give two possible point of view, to have realism: one pro mages/templar and one versus mages/tamplar. As in DA:O there was in the CE: the PC could hate the Humans, expecially after what that noble did to he/her, but is still a human (Duncan) who save his/her life. (same thing for the DE)
That way the character could be played as more open minded (he/she understand not all templars/mages are bad) or he/she didn't mind, and stay with his/her hate for one of the cathegory (can always change during the game, or not at all)

What makes you say that???

[Adanu]

Origin stories are optional, not necessary, for me.

[Riknas]

So, first I was going to say something snarky, but it seems like too many people have actually taken this seriously, so I'll just give a serious comment.

While I would like Origins, if it interferes with a voiced protagonist and a more customizable, "iconic" stand out character, I would do without. Mind you, I would like it to be a more in-depth backstory than the very short time spent in the outskirts of Lothering.

[Burnouts3s3]

I agree a background would be nice. However, I would suggest something more... traditional and easier to use.

While I wish they would use the race backgrounds from game 1, perhaps a system akin to ME1 would suffice.

[daffl5]

origins would create the best back story compared with ME stuff

[Felya87]

ME backgrounds would be always better than the nothing of DA2.

But I think the origins as the first DA would make fell much more the character.
