I really wish developers/publishers like Ubisoft would ball up and tell people to deal with it. They shouldn't have to explain why they excluded women from their game(s)
It's their decision to do w/e they want, and if players don't like it, they don't have to buy the game.
Nothing will come of this and the game will still go on to sell millions, with the loud minority still whining about things.
BTW, I'm a black, lower class, autistic male that doesn't give a crap about other not my race is represented at all in video games. All I care about is whether characters are interesting, regardless of gender or race.
So the demo with the qunari PC was great huh? Wish I could have heard what she was saying though in the demo most of the sound was really muted for me might have been a bad video I was watching. I couldn't hear her really well but she sounded different than the one in the trailer was this the other voice actor or am I hearing things? Probably hearing things.
Think we'll see more PCs of other races? I think someone mentioned a video with a dwarf PC I hope thats true I want to see how my beloved Dwarves again and see how they're looking in DAI

Theres a video with the male dwarf pc somewhere in scuttlebutt I think. I loved seeing Dorian, IB, and Sera back up the femquisitor too because more and more I'm thinking that might be my 'main' team for my first play through. But given how big this team is and how big the story is, maybe we won't have 'main' teams this time around? And I definitely hope they announce the Inquisitors voice cast. Troy Baker is in Far Cry 4 and Shadow of Mordor, so I guess that rules him out? He seemed like such a safe guess. 
@HD, there was a video with a male dwarf PC, but the female Qunari one is the only one I saw that got all the way to the Leliana scene.
There may be a longer one out there, I haven't found it yet.
*clicking through all the youtube vids I can find for any new nugget of info....dang having to be out in the field this week*
@oceanicsurvivor
and
@Jaulen
thanks for the confirmation I'll have to start stalking the scuttlebutt section of the forums now too so I don't miss something like that again 
off topic: Can't wait to get Iron Bull in my party though I just hope he doesn't turn out like Sten where I have to leave him behind all the time (I loved Sten but nothing I ever did made him not disapprove of me. Thank goodness for the feast day DLC )
Edit: Aww they didn't give really any good shots of him that or my computer is going down the toilet well I guess I'll have to wait until late October to get the game and find out for myself (yeah I know it comes out early October but I won't be allowed to play it until late October I was told I could stare at the case so there's that I suppose )
I bloody well HATE the term "political correctness" and the way that so many obnoxious people outright misuse it.
The most common type of sentence used with that term is as follows:
"Wow, I can't believe you women are getting so upset about that rape joke. This political correctness BS is really sucking the humor out of everything!"
Just... no. The bashing of "political correctness" is not some excuse to go ahead and continue being rude, misogynistic, sexist, racist, whatever.
You might enjoy Neil Gaiman's thoughts on it.
He suggests that what douchebags call "political correctness" is simply "treating other people with respect."
"Now, that's just treating other people with respect gone mad!" 
We should clone him. Or bottle him. At any rate, we should get him into every home, school and church stat.
Oh yeah I wish I could hear what they were saying! I kept wanting them to just shush a bit!So the demo with the qunari PC was great huh?

I'm confused on the British voice now - that little tidbit from the Dwarf Inquisitor gameplay of him speaking sounded way different to the voice-over we heard in one of the previous trailers. 
It sounded a little bit higher to me, closer in a sense to male Hawke's voice. Maybe for the trailer, the guy was putting on a more mysterious type of tone.
Man I want NAMES, people!!!

There's more info on Iron Bull on the main website but apparently he's a relaxed guy that gets on well with nearly everyone else including Viv. May take exception to having his people disrespected and therefore not appreciate negativity about them according to his writer Patrick Weekes but otherwise he's fairly much a have fun and enjoy life kinda guy so hopefully much easier to work with than Sten.
@ Mes, I think I remember reading somewhere that there was going to be a slider to adjust the pitch of player voices as well as picking between two options. I read earlier in the thread that the fem voice in the companion trailer was Alex Wilton Regen (which is who I thought it was or someone with a similar accent) and if that's the case there's a 99.99% chance I won't even try the other one... I love her voice.
Oh yeah I wish I could hear what they were saying! I kept wanting them to just shush a bit!
I'd love the next big thing they show to be the character creator. That would round out things nicely (for me anyway!)
Yeah I totally wanted to hear what they were saying and get a really good idea of her voice in game but unfortunately I couldn't hear much of the conversations either.
And character creator... yes please! I really want to see that now too.

I think at one point they were futzing with allowing a degree of voice modification? Could be that...or the dude had a cold when he recorded the trailer 
A couple of his words sounded...stuffy...
But yeah, names would be amazing.

Yes good to hear! For some reason the main sight runs as slow as snails for me so I never go on it but this information is wonderful! I'm already planning on dragging him everywhere with me then if he's really like that and if possible going to romance him with my Dwarf PC especially if he has to pick them up to give them a kiss

Hmm... I remember the forum discussing voice modulation but I don't recall that being confirmed?
I must be the only one who is more excited for the American female voice. I'm okay with that. I think for me it will just help me to really immerse myself in the world through my character, as I myself have an American accent.

Haha, bonus points for lifting up a male dwarf PC by the beard!!

That would hurt quite a bit but if Sten is to be believed qunaris prefer it rough
Darnit now I have the mental image of my Dwarf tying rope around Iron Bull's horns and making him stroll her around on a sled or getting a piggy back ride while holding onto the horns

According to his writer in the news section quote "The Iron Bull really loves life outside the demands of the Qun, now that he’s gotten used to it, and he does everything big. He overeats, drinks himself sick, and will hop into bed with anyone he’s reasonably sure he won’t break. He’s been close to death enough times to appreciate life whenever he has the chance." also according to Mike Laidlaw in the "most romances in a bioware game" thread we're getting more romances than previous DA games so maybe... in fact hopefully you'll get your wish.

That could be what I'm remembering now that I think about it... sigh. So much info to try and keep straight, sorry if I got your hopes up.

While I'm really hopeful for either Iron Bull or Blackwall (that was the warden's name right?) I'm still mentally preparing myself for the worst just in case. I don't care if I have to make male characters for them just so long as I can get them with my Dwarf PC
I'm loving the description of Iron Bull he sounds like quite a few characters I've made before can't wait to get to know him and the rest of the companions!
Yep the warden is Blackwall and he's also on the main site both in the character section and the news... the news section has insights on Sera, Blackwall and Iron Bull from their writers which is quite interesting as well. Of the three Iron Bull sounds the most interesting character to me so it will be interesting to see how they actually turn out in game.

I'm tempted to deal with the terribly slow loading time to get a glimpse at all this. Would be wise to get a glimpse of what Blackwall is like before I become too attached (which may be too late darn him and his manly beauty xD)

You could probably check the dragon age wiki if that runs any better for you? That tends to update with new info pretty quick.

I haven't even though to go to the wiki to be honest ^^; I'll try that if the main site stays at a snails pace for me thanks
Edit: And just got back from reading that and am loving everything I'm seeing so far with those two I do hope they are romanceable or have a really strong friendship path. (Oh please please please let me have at least one of them they both sound so interesting )

Do you know how shares work.
But I do agree it's a slight overreaction. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing when it makes people post things on tumblr like:
'DOUBLED DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS'is that code for ‘our gross fuckboy developers wouldnt be able to model a tity without needing to stop and jack off for 30 hours straight’ like holy **** **** off forever
Iron Bull to bearded male dwarf PC : Like the beard Quizzy, gives me something to hang on to, woof!Haha, bonus points for lifting up a male dwarf PC by the beard!!
