I'm loving the news that we can pick various races again. Though, it's my understanding that it's also at the cost of our origin stories.

Correct me if I'm wrong, if that's not the case, but with that in mind, how will our character now be introduced? Will we have a choice in why we chose to bring back the inquisition, instead of just letting someone else do it? I.e a reason we're invested, such as our family kidnapped by demons or our bringing back the families honour, etc.

My dalish elf in Origins had to be knocked out by Duncan (as opposed to my city elf who loved the idea), because she hated the idea of being a Warden, so I'm wondering if those various events that draw you in, will still exist in this new update, as opposed to the typical D&D start of, "You're in a bar."

Careful when you say "origin stories". Someone might hear "origin" and think the playable origins from DAO. That was never in the cards, and that's why we called our original plan "backgrounds" instead.

There's too much reactivity during the game to that initial choice to allow for both race options as well as background options for each race. Much as that sounds cool to anyone who believe more is more, in this case it would have to come with the cost of either removing planned content from each of those variations (so they're individually smaller in scope) or... from somewhere else. We didn't want to do that, so the race/class combo effectively becomes the new background choice (along with all the subsequent reactivity).

With the Game Informer article, we mention that we were able to bring back races as a result of pushing the game back a year.
