That I won't get to be apart of the MvT war and instead be something I have no interest in being and forming a group i don't really care about forming and not getting to see the country I actually want to see which won't be in DA3.

GameInformer has an entire section on Mages vs templars, I dont see why a lot of people think it will be minor.

Biggest concern is a lack of consequences for the Dark Ritual.

I will be forced to wear ugly looking armor due to stats rather then wearing what I want because I want my character to look a certain way.

I just came back recently to DA forum but haven't come across information on armor/stats since I haven't seen all the videos etc.

I could go for Wow's approach where you have the magical ability to alter any armor to look like how you'd like.

I'm sorry, what? If you hated Dragon Age 2, then why add it to your list of registered games? Because you feel some sort of accomplishment by having more rather than less?

I know it's off-topic, but I just had to point out the hypocracy of making fun of a game because you think it sucked, only to have it displayed under your identity (user name and portrait/avatar) as if to say "I played this game."

Actually we can keep the cosmetics of an armor set we like and upgrade it with the stats of superior pieces of armor, so no worries

"I played this game" doesn't mean they like the game, and it adds credence to their arguments or critiques of said game. Besides, some people register the game right away before they've formed an opinion of it.

Anyway my concerns are:

-Excessive and cheesy cameos like DA2
-Pre existing characters getting the Anders/Merril treatment
-Our actions and choices have no effect on the outcome of the game
-Autodialogue
-Dialogue and RP being "streamlined" like in ME3 and to a lesser extent DA2
-The game holding your hand and treating you like an idiot so it can be "accessible" to non gamers and casual gamers. This includes the game being unwilling to punish you for a choice (ME3's Rachni queen clone...thing comes to mind) and make the outcome the same no matter what.
 -Forced recruitment(and forced interaction) of companions, especially rage enducingly horrible and annoying ones like Merrill
-Not being able to wear a poofy dress :(
-PC has an Orlesian accent
-Bad/limited CC and more awful hairstyles and makeup that no woman would ever wear (seriously BioWare, hire a fashionable woman off the street as a consultant or something because whoever has been coming up with the hairstyles and makeup for DA should be doing something else...anything else)
-Bioware deciding who our PC is and how they feel (ME3 Shepard's forced emotions, forced reactions, forced motivations, etc...)
-A single ending, especially if the only ending is "tragic" and depressing

Until I know more it's pretty small. I'd like better lighting in the Character Creation screens. Something that simulates daylight so we have a good idea what we'll actually look like in game.

Otherwise, I'm excited and I'd rather not focus too much on the negative before any real information has been released. Creators know that the BSN has a tendency to do that, sadly.

I'm worried for the "execution". I thought Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2 had good ideas/stories but the execution/implementing of the story/ideas was underwhelming. The added development time has me less worried about this tho. An example of this would be like Kirkwall when I first found out about it I was excited to explore a city more thoroughly but it was a boring brown palette with recycled environments.

It is nice to hear about open-world exploration, but if there is no point in doing it or anything interesting about it what's the point? BioWare is great at hype, but the execution has been off in the last two titles IMO.

Another worry I have is EA micro transactions / advertisements being shoved in our faces 24/7. But BioWare doesn't have much control over that I assume.

MP, J.C. Denton/ME3 A,B,C endings. Last chapter contorted story line that loses where it's going.
MP. That's it, really not that much. I'd like to see more plot twists that are a surprise.

Well Inon Zur and Aubrey Ashburn were one of my favorite things about the series because I loved their music so much. But I just found out we're losing them to Trevor Morris. Been listening to his work and oof. Not saying it's bad, but I think we're gonna be getting some generic medieval music as our soundtrack for this game, rather than that unique fantasy feel DA:O had.

Ideally, we'd be able to run our character through a sample cutscene with a variety of lightings and a conversation to check out how they look animated, with the option to exit back to the creator at any time.

A variety of lightings in the creator itself is more likely.

Concerns? Well there are always concerns. As much as I love a good story, especially ones that can be in cycle for a long time, I would like to see some questions and loose ends be tied up. I greatly anticipate some of the greater questions about the Fade being answered or at least answered enough so to drop us off at another tantalizing cliff hanger. Ah, the mysteries of the ethereal continue to amaze and elude.

The transmog. The reason I actualy paid for a race change when I could be a Tauren in Judgment with my original Quel' Serrer.

But the oldest thing we know about DAI is the compromise between Iconic looks and armor.  Not that much information has been given about that system recently but that they were striving for a system where you could equip whatever armor you wanted but still have that "iconic" look for the character I think is the oldest bit of information we have about DAI.

At the end of the day  I care about the performance. Give me a variety of equipment available that can cover however I want to play and "spec" my character first. Looking pretty comes in a far second.

Addiction, you bring up an excellent point. The specs that will possibly hit for the PC version have me a little nervous. Thankfully my processor is pretty strong, but my video card is starting to show it's age.

I would love that. I cringe at how many times I had to restart Mass Effect 3 after their artistic interpretation of my imported character went awry. 

I'm not worried about anything in particular though. I suppose if I had to say one thing it would be unnecessarily killing off of established characters to clean up all the different world states. But I have no real reason to think this would be the case..

Namely, Bioware trying to appeal to so many fanbases everything gets diluted. No, I am not just talking about the "but but but they want the casuals/call of duty crowd/dirty word of the moment" that people usually hurl at this. More of the moves they've made for DA2/ME3 and ham-handedly clobbering people over the head with various real-life views and attitudes.

Crafting systems are more often than not the death knell of items and exploration in general. Aside from games entirely dedicated toward them - the Summon Night Swordcraft Story games from GBA come to mind - it usually winds up unbalanced as hell. Crafted items are better than anything you can find in the world, and they're not hard to make. I really hope Bioware keeps that in mind through the development process. I'd also like to see bought items not being entirely worthless, and I don't mean the "here's one good absurdly priced decent item among hordes of junk"

I'm also not entirely fond of the loot mechanics from DA2, but I doubt that's going to be returning. Having everything scattered all over the damn place, and some of the set items in different acts was pretty insane.

That DA:I will have in-your-face microtransactions, always online DRM or worse.

Actually I'm scared of what EA will do. I hope they don't ruin it too much.

Sorry to dissapoint then. From the sounds of things, the Mage/Templar War will be a subplot in Inquisition. Now with that said, it doesn't mean it won't be important. Just it won't be the central focus of the game. Chances are you can decide to support one side or the other, or even broker peace between them similar to the Geth and Quarian conflict in Mass Effect 3.

I imagine you're in for disappointment then, since there's no way it can play such a significant role unless the storyline is fixed in such a way that the dark ritual happens regardless of what you did in DA:O.

Which real life views and attitudes?  How does that relate to appealing to different fanbases?  

I can think of various story points, rather than game design choices.
