No, none of the DA ever had spanish voices. None of the Mass Effect games either. You must be thinking of Skyrim which had localized voices in spanish.
Quite possible, but there is hope yet:
"Supported Languages: Deutsch (DE), English (US), Español (ES), Français (FR), Italiano"

In all likelihood, that's subtitles.
I don't think "we are not going to release X for PC because consoles can't have it" is a reasonable argument. It's not the PC gamer's fault that content has to go through the barriers on consoles that PC does not have. It's like console player saying "I don't think you should get mods because we can't".
Having said that, I think developer requires a level of incentive to put the effort into it. The question they'd be asking themselves would be "are there that many PC gamers out there who'd require these language packs?". I assume the answer would be no.
No, localized languages, both voices and text, have been known for a while now for DAI. Only french and german will get voices besides english.

Turns out there are only three localized versions. it would be great for all three to be included, with a choice during installation. It would even simplify the manufacturing (only one version of the game worldwide) and eliminate localization issues. It certainly beats having germans and frenchmen pirate an english copy and not get a penny out of it I'm sure.

No it would not, and to perceive it as such would be irrational.

Watch Dogs is in several languages on the XBOX ONE. It's all a matter of wanting to download an update or not. I played it in English and (BRA) Portuguese. I support this.
If they insist on being irrational, fine, but I'm going to point it out every time.Irrational or not, it doesn't make it any less likely.

They might learn, eventually.
Not trying to fix it is tacit approval.Irrationality is human second nature. I'm not sure you could be successful teaching it out of people on a big enough scale to ever matter.
But I admire you trying.

I do not approve.
I have yet to determine how to predict baseless conclusions.Fair enough. I usually do approve, because irrationloty is often quote predictable, against all logic. Having the majority people behave predictably, if illogically, means you can (on a gross aggregate) be one step ahead of most people by default.

Oh, you'll love it. Its super easy to do.
Its as simple as evaluating if someone is going to make the most rosy, unrealistic prediction possible or the most pessimistic and negative. Baseless assumptions are almost invariably one of the two.
Why would it be DLC? Shouldn't that be part of the game it's self?
This idea came to me yesterday because I wanted to play the spanish version of DA:O to brush-up on my language skills. I imagine there are also a lot of expatriates who live outside their region of origin who would love to play your games in their mother tongues, and countless other reasons to desire access to other languages for the games.
I understand that there is only so much space on discs for physical editions, and that unlike Steam, Orgin (The EA client) does not support the downloading of language packs with a click.
How about putting out the language packs as free DLCs, so we can play in any language we fancy?
Dragon Age: Inquisition, as well as most past BioWare titles, support language selection depending on your gaming platform. For the most part, setting your console language will set the game language to match, so switching your console to Spanish will get you a Spanish game with English VO. In the past, the PC version would ask you to select your language during installation. Now with the Origin client, it is similar to consoles where the language installed is based off of your Origin language. Adding a feature like per-game language selection is something I am sure we would all like to see in the future. Language availability is also based on your region for consoles, especially for Sony. For example, in the Sony Japanese region, we only include English and Japanese text with English VO. We haven't had any demand for Spanish in that region.
We will have an English VO pack for both Xbox 360 and PC, for those customers in French and German language regions at no additional charge. The Xbox 360 disc version only has room for one VO language, so this makes it easier to get access to this option. For PC, since English text comes with French and German by default, the English VO pack allows for these customers to have this option without changing their Origin client language. For the other consoles, English VO will be available on the disc.
Now, on to your original question. Aside from the above English VO pack, we have no plans to do languages as DLC. Since their are functional workarounds for this feature request, the next thing we have to look at is the cost and the time. It takes time to make and manage all these different possible packs, on all 5 platforms, and it costs to put these into Sony and Microsoft. Charging for these packs feels wrong, and I could easily imagine the community outrage at the concept. Putting all these factors together, I cannot see us doing something like this unless something fundamental changes. Especially with the existing workaround, as inelegant as they may be.
Thanks Derek for carifying things!

Well, the question was whether it would seem unfair. It wouldn't seem unfair to you, or to me, but it very well might to other folks. Irrational? Yep.

I completely agree.

Unfortunately, this is probably also true.
Extra language packs for PC versions exist under the same constraints as HD texture packs. They're only available for PC, and they're made available free of charge. So there needs to be considerable demand for it to be worth the developers' time.
