In DA:O, we had a playable origin which familiarized us with our background. We know that DA:I will not have a playable origin. Will we know our background before starting DA:I, though? That is, will we know if our human mage is a Circle mage or an apostate, or that whether our Dalish elf is a Keeper or not? These details are important for making RP decisions early on in the game.
Will we know the race backgrounds before we start the DA:I?

Human warrior and rogue are nobility. Mage might be of noble birth but can't inherit because mage. That partt unclear.
Dwarf is a surface dwarf
Qunari is Vashoth who was born outside the Qun
Elf is Dalish, but mage is not a Keeper
That's all we really know so far.

I suspect we'll get a narrated intro and a playable sequence set prior to the great Fade explosion, not like an Origin from the first game as they will all take place in the same location and more or less follow the same plotline, but contain unique content/dialogue for each race/class.

The Keeper is the caretaker of knowledge and defacto leader of the clan, and the First is the Keeper's apprentice

Human: Noble of the family Trevelyan regardless of class (Mage is more likely a Circle mage who forfeited their nobility title when sent to the title)
Dwarf: Surface dwarf
Elf: Dalish
Qunari: Vashoth

Hmmm, wonder how this effects the game if it is like Origins where it is some dialog difference of if it actually has some meaning. Also what country is the human noble from?

Is it confirmed humans are nobility again?

Being a surface dwarf and vashoth sound like they can have good RP moments

There will be reactivity based on race.
The human surname is Trevelyan, which sounds likely to be Ferelden.

Being a noble is totally why I play humans. If you're going to be privileged, it's got to be max privilege. Human plebs are sooo boring.

Hawke was a human commoner. So don't act like every playable human in this series is always noble.

Given the Cornish (British) surname and the option between choosing a British or American accent, the human Inquisitor is probably Fereldan. He (or she) could also potentially be a Free Marcher, as the Free Marches are fairly diverse and settled with peoples with ancestry from all over Thedas. Some of Kirkwall's nobles had Orlesian names, for example.

Well.... Amells were Nobles in Kirkwall , so technically.. Hawke is a Noble.

Hawke's mother was from a noble family, returns to Kirkwall expecting to return to the noble lifestyle she ran from, you have to find some papers showing your mother's legal claim to the Amell mansion, and at the end of Act I you get filthy rich. By the start of Act II you buy a mansion in Hightown and remain living like a noble for the rest of the game.
Noble blood, later wealth, later lifestyle. For all intents and purposes, Hawke is a noble.

Out of interest where did all these ppl come from that expect to be a dalish first or expected to be a keeper?
Or where did they even get the idea?

No, Hawke's story is a classic "rags to riches" story. Doesn't matter what their blood was, Hawke was born to a poor family in a pisspot of a town and was as common as could be. Later becoming noble is irrelevant. Or is my casteless dwarf in DAO a noble because they eventually become paragon and get their own noble house? No? What if that casteless was of a noble family a few generations back? Would that suddenly make them noble? Because being of a noble family and then losing it all and then that family later becomes noble again thanks to descendants of that family is almost exactly the same situation as the Hawke's.
