A huge demand by DA fans was that they make a game again where they can play different races and have different origins.  Instead, it's DA2 concept again which was received so poorly by the fans. Also, not surpirisingly, no origin stories but a la background briefs.  That's so lame. 

Why keep handing us a bland pieces of bread when we've already had cake?

It's rather interesting to see some people treating the situation as dire-- as if a decision must be made about what the game is right now.

You don't have to, after all. We haven't shown anything about the game at all, yet. It's easy for us to talk about things the game won't have, the ones which we're absolutely certain about, but talking about things the game does have-- like the new backgrounds-- is difficult, and thus we'll avoid doing so until we can explain them in full. Without that context, for instance, I see the backgrounds being brought up, and since the nearest examples anyone can think of are the Mass Effect backgrounds, they're discarded as irrelevant.

They're not, but until we can talk about them more, or show the many other things we do have, this is what you get. While that may make it difficult to picture the kind of game DA3 will be just yet, that's OK. If something like a lack of player races is a deal-breaker for you, if it was the thing you absolutely enjoyed most about DAO and increased customization over DA2 which doesn't include that just doesn't cut it for you, then consider yourself duly warned.

If you'd prefer to wait until you see more, and until then remain skeptical, that's entirely fair. The default opinion of any self-respecting Internet-dweller is skepticism, after all-- if the game is exactly as bad as you predicted, you get to be a prophet. If it's not, then you get to be pleasantly surprised. These are better options for most than being disappointed. If, however, you wish to declare that all is lost and move on, that's also fair. Hopefully once we start showing the game you'll see things you like, and they'll be explained so you can actually imagine the work that went into them-- which is plenty. We've had to make many decisions between what we can and can't do, all with an eye to improving the overall experience of DA3.

Such a reveal is not going to happen anytime soon, however. So if you're waiting to be convinced, you're likely going to have to wait quite some time yet. There are still many, many months to go before you need to make a decision on anything. That's not going to stop anyone, of course, but if you're bewildered why BioWare isn't rushing in to prove you wrong, that would be why.

Well this is going well.


That we didn't implement a feature that you wanted, doesn't mean that we aren't listening. If you think that the lack of race selection is why DA2 struggled, I think you're being myopic in your perspective (especially since BioWare has had very successful RPGs where you couldn't choose a different species, KOTOR in particular).
