For what it's worth, my first play in DAO was as a dwarf warrior. I tend to play new games as a simple fighter type and then experiment with other things after I've learned the game. After that, I tried human mage and it's remained my favorite ever since, even after playing all of the other origins.

For DAI, I'll be making a human mage to start with. My preferred race is human, but I'll be trying out the other races eventually.

What I'm hoping for is that the CC is not gated by non-skippable game play (as in DA2), so I can play around with it, look at the different races and options, before I make my final choice.

[Dead2Rights]

Human warrior for me. Don't plan on ever making a Qunari.

[KC_Prototype]

Nope, Human Warrior and Mage FTW.

[Moghedia]

nope Elven mage for me...

[RobRam10]

I'll play human mage first then Qunari warrior second and Qunari mage as third.

[Morroian]

I won't be playing a qunari at all.

[DarthLaxian]

well, no - i will start of as a human-male (who is a mage!), go on to play a female elf (who again is a mage) and then i will probably play a male Sarebas

greetings LAX
ps: so no, i will not start of as a "horned beast"

I definitely won't be playing Qunari first, and possibly not at all depending on what the background of the character is. Sten's comments about women in DAO were a huge turnoff. I'm just really tired of fantasy and SF environments that rehash the same tired gender dynamics. Part of the appeal of these genres lies in the possibilities at hand. Writers can create worlds free of some of the issues present in modern society.

And to some extent, BioWare did that with Thedas. Because one of their chief religious and political figures was a woman (Andraste), humans and elves who follow the Chantry (as well as the Dalish from what we've seen) are fairly egalitarian. So our dwarves, for that matter, since women have as much of a shot at being paragons. Only the Qunari really stick out as having these rigid class roles based in some part on gender. So no thank you. I don't want to RP a character who grew up in that sort of environment even if she gets to rise above it and kick serious butt later. It hits closer to home than I'd like for a fantasy game. I play this stuff in part for escapism, after all.

Now, if the Qunari character is really Tal'Vashoth and grew up entirely outside the Qun...I might be more interested. Otherwise, no.

Yeah I'd pretty much have to agree. I mean I can see that whole gender thing applying to their society, but it's something that has been done again, and again.

As for the whole Tal'Vashoth thing, I personally don't care for Qunari's one way or the other. So either way I'm going to pass on them.

[Elanor]

I probably eventually will play as qunari but not in my first playtrough.

[Khaeix]

No way, I'm not going anywhere near Qunari :x

My punk Tal Vashoth inquisitor will call himself Vashedan and have horn piercings and tattoos all over 

You know, I said it in jest but an apostatate Sarebas that left the Qun ( Yes DG, we know it is called Tal Vashoth), would really be a great character to roleplay. A "true" Ketojan, not that fake one Sister Petrice tried to con us with.

Guy would look pretty scary too, which would be fun for a few playtroughs  Think about it: On one playtrough he could be pretty pro mage and hate any non mage, because of all the prejudice he suffered. On another he could think Empire mages are whinny little brats that complain too much, that are being "coddled" by Templars and normals alike - because on the Qun mages get it a lot worse.. He might even side with Templars and  try to help defeat the rebel mages.

I believe not even the Kirkwal Templars would be dumb enough not notice a guy with sewn in pierced lips like that  would most likely be a mage

I think I'll play as an Elf mage for the first playthrough, then as a Qunari. Really looking forward to the new dynamic that being Qunari brings XD.

[Rane7685]

 Im a human or an elf. Might give qunari a go if I play a third character and I feel like a beastly warrior. Dwarves arent my thing (its a shame because I heard the dwarven origin stories were quite good

[Kaiser of Hearts]

I'll be playing a golden qunari with horns 3 feet tall

[TheRevanchist]

I have no intention what-so-ever to play as a Qunari, I never asked to play as them in the first place and frankly I think it does not belong in this type of story line. You can make w/e justifications you want to me but it wont really matter. I'm not saying it shouldn't exist, since people want to play as a race of people hell bent on converting and conquering everyone in Thedas to believe in their almighty Qun. Thats fine if they wana do that, but as for me? nope...stickin with Dwarves and Humans....MAYBE an Elven Mage...maybe.

Elves? Too alien too ugly.

Have you seen a Qunari? While the females inexplicably look nothing like males, it's at least on par with elves.

They seem to be toning down the sexual dimorphism in DA 3.

Oh my, I love this. I shall call her swirly bird and him blood beard.

They don't seem to be toning down sexual dimorphism, quite the opposite. In this CA female Qunari seems to be weak and anorexic (bear in mind she has armor), nothing compared to athletic build known from previous works.

But she seems to be less 'pretty' than previously.

Indeed...it seems this obnoxious anorexic trend will be continueing if thats any indication. I must say I am disapointed. I know Bioware typically fully supports female empowerment, but I can't shake the feeling this "artistic direction" is meant to pander to men.

[Tootles FTW]

While I think the concept art for the female Qunari makes them looks like total BAMFs, I'm going to stick with a Human Mage for my first playthrough. FemQunari will probably be my 2nd.

[Clockwork_Wings]

I had a thought: perhaps we're playing neither a qunari nor a tal'vashoth. Perhaps we're playing a kossith, either part of a rebel faction that never converted to the qun or a second- or third-generation tal-vasoth whose parents (and probably a larger community) who decided they liked the old ways better.

[animedreamer]

 Elf Female Mage right from the start.... It was only in Ferelden that women were said to be treated equally, so I expect to get the whole "treated inferior because of lack of testicles." ... Elf because being a Elf is like being a leper, and Mage because again everyone sees you as pretty much cursed but with the potential for incredible power.

I still hope it's only this art that looks so ridiculous (male Qunari's biceps is larger than female Qunari's waist, plus she doesn't appear to have any muscles - she's just tall, like anorexic model).

[Mecha Elf]

 Nope female elf rogue first of course 
probably second play through a female Qunari Mage

Yeah that proportion thing is ridiculous. I'd prefer the male protagonist to be build to look, you know, cool as opposed to someone who needs to stop abusing roids. 

[Afro_Explosion]

Yep since we shall definitely be a tal vashoth I will be a qunari mage or rouge depending on how i decide to roleplay
