I am just wondering is our protaganist going to be part of Inquisition, obviously everything is speculation until details get announced. But I would like to hear people's ideas on this.

The protagonist will hopefully be any type of character I wish to roleplay.

Anything more defined than that is going to be a move away from player agency and, in my opinion, closer to mediocrity.

They have already revealed 2 of the Origin choices for the protagonist to be a Warden Origin and Seeker Origin.

There is most likely more Origins to come but for now only these 2 Origins are revealed.

Where did you hear that from? I'd be grateful to know. Or was it from BSN?

It would.be interesting, I think, if instead of the PC being an inquisitor, instead they are one of thousands that are subject to the inquisition. Arrested, imprisoned, interrogated, tortured, and judged. Origin determining if the PC escapes as a fugitive or is freed.

During PAX when they showed the armor arts and how armor will change your character appearance for having a Warden Character and Seeker Character.

[ElitePinecone]

OP - the protagonist is 'the Inquisitor', based on a leaked marketing survey from last year. The player character is in charge of tracking down and eliminating a threat to Thedas, using a variety of methods (espionage, war, diplomacy, etc). 

The protagonist also seems to get a cool cloak thing.

They were companions - Stroud and Cassandra, it looks like.

Sorry, but this isn't true.

We are talking about Origins of the Protagonist. Not what they are. They have stated that the Inquisitor will have a choice of Origins like in DAO. These Origins will explain how he or she becomes the Inquisitor and affect the story and NPC dialogues.

I'm hopeful that it is, but those templates may be for possible companions, like a Seeker companion. But none-the-less, we will be getting a choice of background and I'm interested to see what they might be.

Sorry, but this is just patently wrong. 

Firstly, the demonstration of the armor was showing how they were going to handling COMPANION armor, keeping a way to change equipment out while still keeping iconic looks. 

Secondly, everything talked about in that presentation was all "here are some things we are thinking," with numerous caveats that none of this would be guaranteed to make it into DA3, that they were just floating out ideas. 

I would, in no way shape or form, take these to mean those two characters are Origin types... mostly because Gaider already confirmed that there would be no playable Origins in DA3. So... yeah.

Yes there are no playable Origin but the ability to choose the Origin for the Inqusitor is still there. The Origin you choose will not be playable but they have already stated the Origin chosen will affect the dialogue and plot. 

Why does everytime I mention origin choices they think as if like DAO Origins. No I am not talking about them making Origins like that. I'm talking about the fact they still have the Origin choice of the protagonist in DA3 which will affect the story and dialogue towards the Protagonists.

Did you think they were going to make DA3 like DA2 where all Origins have been set already for you like they did with Hawke?

Son/daughter of a noble who: lives at family's mansion (Warrior, Rogue) or escaped the Circle not long ago (Mage).

This.

Agreed.

If DA3 has a predetermined character like DA2, I will be unable to play as anything else, and DA3 will be off to a bad start.

Not to be rude or offensive but I have already stated on this post that they have confirmed the Protagonist Origin choices. Yes these Origin choices will affect the story, dialogue, and etc like in DAO. However, you will not be able to playthrough the Origin story like in DAO sadly.

Yeah, I think the origins is the social background before the story starts. Circle mage, apostate, noble, commoner, street rat... I wish they did something similar to creating a Guild Wars 2 character: Choosing gender, class, appearance, biography and naming the character.

I always wanted a game that takes the best from TES: Skyrim, The Witcher 2, Guild Wars 2 and Dragon Age Origins.

I would not jump to that yet. They have also announced that the map in DA3 will be larger than in DAO as well. They will probably set Act 1 to explain how the Protagonist becomes the Inquisitor first.

Also, don't forget Origin choices still affect the story and dialogue like in DAO.

Gaider has talked about Backgrounds for players. He has not stated what that will entail. We don't know if it will be like ME's backgrounds, which basically resulted in one extra quest/mission per game, or if it will be something more. If the ME backgrounds are anything to base it off of, it will be an EXTREMELY negligible amount of content. Nothing at all like "deciding what kind of character I play" type of mentality. 

Not to say that they will be like ME. But I think Gaider was intentionally not using the word "origins," simply because many people will automatically compare it to Origins (capital O for emphasis). And I also find it interesting he used Backgrounds, since that was the term ME used. If he didn't want to use the word origins, there are a TON of other word options available (history, culture, upbrining, tradition, environment, ethinicity, profession, etc.) if he was just referencing where the PC came from and what guides them, but he chose the same word as what ME used in their more shallow version of the character creator.

Possibly reading too much into it, but, at the same time, it is all we have so far.

Well, I'm hoping there's a Kirkwall refugee background option. That's all I'm saying.

[Senya]

I'm hoping for a Circle Mage myself.

Sound good to me. I've been thinking that DA needs some kind of character background like ME had, just in its own way.

[Karlone123]

I'd find a Grey Warden background option to be interesting.

That'd be cool. Wouldn't want the Calling hanging over my head, though. But it is part of being a Warden.
