I wish we could pick our own backgrounds , we might only need two different backgrounds . Mage circle / aposate , Dwarf caste / surface , Elves dalsh / city and so on .
I do wont to play as a mage but i don`t wont to be a circle mage i would rather be an apostate .
I think that select-able backgrounds have gone by the wayside. From what I've seen, once you pick your race/class, that's what you get. For example, you can't choose to be a city elf anymore as an Inquisitor. You're going to be Dalish no matter what. The City Elf fans aren't too thrilled with this.

There are three kinds of people out there - those that know how to count and those that don't. 
Do we actually know there's no City Elf background? If this has been confirmed, my apologies, but I thought only the Elf mage was confirmed to be Dalish.
That's not to say it's very likely the other elf backgrounds can/will be City Elves, of course.
Well, I'm fine with it either way. If BW decides we can choose our own backgrounds, I'm absolutely fine with that, because that only adds more roleplaying choices. If we only get one background per race, which right now seems the most likely, I think that's fine too. For me it's all about what happens in the game, that matters. What happened before can be relevant or not, depending on how you roleplay your character.

But he obviously meant two per race.
Still, he forgot the humans and Qunari.

Tired, sick, lazy, so I'm not hunting for the source for the elf info. Sorry, but the sinus infection I've been fighting for two weeks has finally caught up with me. I heard every City Elf fan up in arms awhile back, but I'm not 100% sure if it's the mage thing or if I'm remembering correctly.. It's about 6:30am or so on the East Coast, so folks should be waking up about then. When in doubt, you can always ask the Twitter thread posters. They'll probably be able to give you some tweets on the subject.

I was meaning two per race .

I did say so on , i didn`t want to go and go when we all know the races 
I was meaning two per race .
I know, I just couldn't pass on a joke.
meh, not anymore. i mean it seemed important somehow, to fit oneself into the story. i think they prepared something special with this "intro" quest. if we can fill in the blanks with dialogue, it works for me
I think that select-able backgrounds have gone by the wayside.
I think this is what made DAO the best game , it was like looking a something from different angles . It added to my need to play thru all the origins .
IIRC, we were originally supposed to be able to only be Human but have a large choice of origins. When they decided to bring back race choice, they basically merged it with the origins.
So I guess for each race there could be one origin for warrior/rogue and one for mage.
So far what we know for sure is that elf inquisitors will be dalish and qunari will be born outside the Qun (or left the Qun, making them Tal-Vasoth? I'm not sure). I don't know if anything else is confirmed?
I suspect that we can't pick multible backrounds for our selected race because that way we'll get more race specific content? Sounds more like a time/budget issue to me, unless there really are strict story reasons why elf inquisitors can only be dalish and so forth. I don't mind it so far since dalish elves were my favorite to begin with. I wonder what the dwarf inquisitor will be? Surface dwarf?
Well we know some backgrounds that we get if we pick certain races.
Elves will be Dalish, it was comfirmed by one of the devs here on the forums somewhere.
Dwarf's are surface dwarf. (if I remember correctly)
Humans we don't know yet, but if you are a mage, I imagine, you original came from the circle.
Qunari is Tal-varshot which makes sense since a Qunari mage wouldn't be able to go anywhere without his handler.

BW has confirmed that the elves will be Dalish one of the devs told us here on the forums somewhere.
I'm not sure if dwarves are surface or not, but I do know that we'll have the last name Cadash according to PAX screenshots.
A young, no-nonsense, rule-breaking templar that is a "loose cannon" that always gets in trouble with the Knight Commander, paired with a old, veteran and cynical templar who is too old for that s***.
Qunari is Tal-varshot which makes sense since a Qunari mage wouldn't be able to go anywhere without his handler.
IIRC, one of the Devs said the Qunari with be Kossith, not Tal-Vashoth. So they will have never been a part of the Qun, rather than one who abandoned it.

sounds like a 60ies tv series. do want
I think a cool story arc for a background would be if a non mage qunari was an arvaarad but ended up bonding with his saraabas until the Qun demanded that he had to kill them, after the devastation of having to kill them, he leaves the Qun.
I would definitely LIKE having more choices, but I suppose it's not that important to me. As long as I'm still in control of my character's current outlook on things, their background doesn't matter to me overly so. I would only be annoyed if background slanted the dialog options in game towards only a certain view. For example, if playing a Kossith only allowed you to express Qunari based sentiments, I would be annoyed. Having the background of previously being a part of the Qunari religion wouldn't bother me if I could approach the game in a way to suggest my character no longer aligned with it.

Ehhh, Kossith (Which comes from when the qunari race first appeared in the south of Ferelden before the first blight.) is the name forum user use to describe the big hulking Qunari (Those who usually have horns) Qunari are both the name of the race and the religion. It's confusing as hell, but the devs have said this.
But yes they are not part of the Qun.

The Qunari inquisitor will be a vashoth, and yeah I believe it was to give each racial background additional content that's beyond what they've previously done according to the devs.So far what we know for sure is that elf inquisitors will be dalish and qunari will be born outside the Qun (or left the Qun, making them Tal-Vasoth? I'm not sure). I don't know if anything else is confirmed?

I'm kind of lost on what Kossith are if not Qun and not Tal Vashoth. Not that I'm not interested to roll a Kossith Warrior. Just lost on where they are if they're stand alone.
A question if you don't mind? For a human mage, will their last name be different from a human rogue/warrior like in DAO? I know the name for humans is Trevelyan.

I think that is their last name.
