I'd like options for my background, pertaining to nationality as well as background. In Mass Effect Shepard's nationality or ethnicity never come into it, but we do get to decide where she came from and what sort of personality traits shone through during her military career. Something similar for Dragon Age would be good and I'm hoping that it's what the good people at BioWare have in mind.

e.g. [choice 1]"You hail from the Free Marches, descended from a noble house in Kirkwall (or Starkhaven or wherever). [choice 2] You fought as a mercenary during the recent civil war in Ferelden.

Both choices would obviously have subtle effects on encounters, sets of side-quests, etc. in the game.

But yeah, I want to be able to choose whether I'm from Ferelden, the Free Marches, Orlais, Rivain, Antiva, Nevarra, the Anderfels, or the Tevinter Empirium.

I am really bored with the fantasy=British accent thing. The modern British accent didn't even exist in medieval or renaissance times.

For that matter neither did the English language as any of us would recognize it. You aren't suggesting that  BioWare make the game in Middle English are you?

I want to always have the "option" to be ferelden

Agreed. There will be backgrounds and I sure hope being a Fereldan is one of them. For me it's not the issue of accent. I speak English with a fairly strong foreign accent myself. It will be just as easy/difficult for me to identify with a French accent as it is with an English one.

The reason I want at least my "canon" PC to be from Ferelden is that I'm attached to that culture. I like mud, dogs, countryside, spunky attitude and lack of dandyism. For Fereldans providing your family is more important than putting on airs. I guess I've sort of developed a sense of patriotism towards Ferelden. Ferelden is also the most similar to my real home country out of all places on Thedas (based on codex entries). 

I would be nice to have other background options. I don't mind if PC voice acting is same for all even if the characters have different nationalities. Bioware has retconned worse things and, in this case, I'll gladly exchange consistency to more options.

What about an Australian accent? Slang and all?

I really don't see the problem with accents from Orlais, sure some are over the top and ridiculous, but if we were to have a pc with Orlesian accent BioWare wouldn't make it one of those, probably something light. Like Leliana's. 
If I really had to pick however I want the Antivan accent, I always found them to be sexy

I hope we can choose w/the backgrounds. I'm not really interested in playing a Fereldan again. Not a big deal, but if I had my choice, I'd prefer to mix it up a bit.

As far as accents, judging by DA2, everybody seems to have an English accent. Except maybe the Antivans. But Isabella-Rivain---English accent.

Even Anders, though I guess he grew up in Fereldan? So, maybe Fereldan = English accent.

I have a feeling, tho, they're gonna stick with the English accent thing. I wouldn't mind a French accent myself. Like Lelianna? I'd be okay with that.

I wouldn't mind that. I'd never choose it though. I'm sick of Ferelden. There's an entire world in the game to explore, and I've had enough of the most generic one.

[ForThessia]

No one wants to be a "Ferelden Turnip"

[Ajzpick]

They should definitely add the option to be a Tevinter... And when you go back to Tevinter, they should allow you to become THE EMPRAH of the Tevinter Empire ^^

[Nefla]

If the accent is real, I don't care which one it is. The odd and obviously fake French and English accents make me cringe. I would prefer not to be from Fereldan again, I think they did it in DA2 so they wouldn't have to give you an introduction/background "he's from Lothering running from the blight, you all remember Lothering and the blight!" I would much rather have something new but I'm not optimistic about anything after DA2 and ME3.

Forget Middle English, have all dialogue in Ænᵹliſc ſprǣc. We Beowulf now.

[PorcelynDoll]

I like being Fereldan and having a mabari but if we are Orlesian I want an attack cat or the ability to throw very smelly cheese into a group of enemies to daze them.

[n7stormrunner]

I to be ferelden... if not I want to be the one to say it smells like dogs. I also want to say orlais smells like bad cheese

[Karlone123]

I always fancied the option of having a charming Orlessian accent that can make women swoon. It would be entertaining to play as a devilishly charming Orlessian rogue who fancies wine and women in time spent in taverns.

[Mercedes-Benz]

I want to play as a Fereldan again, but I have nothing against there being an option to choose different backgrounds nationality wise.

[Arppis]

German accent for the win! Truely brings inquisition to alive. Well or spanish accent. XD

[Twisted Path]

If the player character had a French accent it wouldn't bother me in the least. Some people seem to really dislike the idea though.

I wonder if we'll be a Marcher. Start with a Fereldan because that's where the first game was set, then a Fereldan fleeing to the Free Marches, so maybe a Marcher who moves (is assigned to, perhaps) to Orlais.

I want this, of course that means that the pc for da4 will be Orlesian...

[Dormiglione]

I dont care about nationality or language of the pc, i would like to have more than one origin.

[Will-o'-wisp]

I don't want to play as fereldan either. I never really liked the country, but since many people seem to do so, we will probably get at least one fereldan origin.

I just hope the game itself doesn't focus on Ferelden or its people in any significant way... or on the Grey Wardens - those are the two things that I'm probably most bored of in the DA universe.

+ I couldn't care less about the accent as there will be no clue of it in the German version anyway.

Well we do get to chose our PC's background. So maybe one background could be you're from Fereldan and another from Orlais and so on.

[Iron Star]

I'd prefer being from nevarra, or from the tevinter imperium. Perhaps even Rivain.

However, if the origins have different nations, but different backgrounds (eg, the nevarran PC's family was killed in a raid by bandits, and the tevinter PC is from a prominent magister family) I'll pick my origin based on the story, not the nation.

However, hopefully we can choose our nation and then our "background" separately. That'd be great.

He/she could be from anywhere as long as they explain it

[MisterJB]

I want an outrageous orlesian accent for my PC. And I want NPCs to comment on it.
And if we happen to encounter Fereldens, I want to remark how much their country smells like wet dog.
