This very much so. I wanna make my character mine as much as I can.
So long as it doesn't turn out like it did in Saints Row 4, where the voice started to sound robotic. Of course, that's Saints Row, they can get away with that kind of stuff. I'm totally on board, though, if they can make it sound right.

They can make it just like in Saints Row 4, but give less room for the voice alteration.
this is all pretty damn neat but all i can focus on is "a jar of bees"
Anyone else thinking of Varric running around in front of an enemy going "I got a jar of bees! I got a jar of bees! Guess what is inside it!"
No? Just me?
Okay then.
So am I the only one who thinks there's going to be a punchline related to the Inquisitor coming a mile away regarding this unique talent?
40 Endings! How ever am I going to get all of them?!?!? I better start making more DA:O and DA2 playthroughs....
I'm thinking maybe it'll be something similar to the amount of variation DA:O's epilogues could give you? Like, maybe a female human who romanced/married alistair, did the dark ritual, and destroyed the ashes counts as a different ending from a female elf who romanced/got dumped by alistair, did the dark ritual, but saved the ashes. Or something. And just all the varied ending cinematics you could get as a result of all those choices totals to 40?

Or Dragon's Dogma's set of crappy voice overs.

First is was that stupid hat and now the jar of bees....
Remember you age people... 
OP missed a part where the article said Morrigan "is likely to return as a party member again as well."
I really hope this isn't true, and unless she's matured to think of something other than herself, my inquisitor and her will NOT be getting along at all >.>
;Thanks for the new info btw! Very exciting 
40 different endings huh? Are we talking *real* endings or *ME3* rushjobs? ... 'Cause I seem to remember another Bioware Producer, Mike Gamble, boasting about the exact same things for Mass Effect 3 and we all know how that turned out.
I suspect it'd be wise to take that with a large grain of salt. It's not going to be "40 completely different end-states for the final battle" - that would be silly. Ultimately, the Fade has to be stitched up, and I daresay there'll be some sort of big-ass battle to bring that about.
But endings like we had in DAO; "these characters live/die/go on to do interesting things/are together/aren't" and "these regions prosper/are ruined" and "these political alliances are strong/weak/verging on war" and so on would tend to add up fairly quickly. 40 variables seems pretty reasonable, actually.
OXM says mounts, that the player can collect. It's blurry but just visible.
So... multiple mounts? Griffons?
Where?
It's likely a misunderstanding from OXM. Morrigan was confirmed to not be a party member in DAI.OP missed a part where the article said Morrigan "is likely to return as a party member again as well."

The 40 endings bit is something I chose to take with more than a grain of salt. Bioware said ME3 would have close to 20 different endings too. Wasn`t really true, was it?
Well, it wasn't at the time, and the pick-a-colour endgame (and the fact that the synthesis ending seemed supremely ill-advised in the light of what had happened to, oh, Saren, the husks, anyone else who'd ever merged synthetic and organic life ... ) was quite a letdown.
But then I was talking to a guildie who told me how devastated he was when Tali committed suicide, and I was all WHAAAAAAA??!!! So, his ME3 endstate (he also saved Mordin, and didn't cure the genophage) turned out to be vastly different to mine. He got a different ending. Mine was better. 
Taken in that light, lots of different endings to the game were possible, just not to the conflict.
I think marketing has to be a LOT clearer, if this is what they mean.

Thank the Maker! Though it raises the question on who knows how many more misunderstandings are still in that article..
Until Bioware confirms anything, I suggest everyone take in this new info with a grain of salt.
40 different endings... LOL didn't Bioware learn their lesson the last time they pulled this? They're going to get hammered if they've lied again.
4 voices, nice.... good stuff bioware.
40 endings. Hmmmm..... I think it more like 20-ish variables that will have more than a passing reference to the endgame/future games than an actual count of different endings. Especially with what the dev said on Twitter.
As for Origins End-count, well.....
Orzammar had 4 variable that had a mention on the Endgame Slides: King of Orzammar, Fate of the Anvil of the Void, Dagna's request, and the Creation of a Chantry hall.
That gave a total of 16 different endings alone, altho most are just minor variances (And the Chantry Hall doesn't even get mentioned unless you do the quest for it). I suspect that a count of all such variances, major and minor both, would put Origins endcount to around 150-200. And that's before Awakening.
In retrospect, that 40 doesn't mean a thing. And won't until either the devs expand upon it or we start playing the game.
In regards to the jar of bees: MEH. Unless it has a small chance of being insta-kill (People do die from bee stings), I am really not caring. Nevarra sounds more interesting, Especially since I know that Elyndra Theirin (My Warden from Origins) went there.

Can't wait to find out which 4 actors got the nod...
After seeing the magazine cover, it seem to me they've made Varric look like Brian Bloom.
