I've noticed that out of all the backgrounds, the dwarf background is the only one that locks you into a moral alignment. You are either neutral or evil. It won't make much sense to take all the moral high-ground responses when you were an active criminal at the start of the game. This is kind of a sore spot for me because what I like most about dwarves in other media is that they aren't petty, backstabbing criminals. Dwarves are, perhaps a little greedy, but steadfast and honorable. I know from playing origins that dragon age dwarves are usually scum. I can deal with that so long a *I* don't have to be scum.

Might there be a way to just forfeit the background content for an 'unknown origin' background or perhaps share the mercenary origin with the quinari.

Your background is just that:  background.  What you can choose to do is leave that lifestyle behind.  When you start the game, you've already begun to redeem yourself.  That's pretty cool.

The backgrounds will matter but the life changing event matters more keep in mind the line from one of the trailers.

"Whoever we were before, we are now the Inquisition"
 

And Dragon Age has always had shades of grey and the carta background is one of those shades of grey  has Varric once said they are businessman and there are many backgrounds that work for surface dwarves its either that or being part of the merchant guild both have ruthless streaks.  The carta is the better choice considering their lyrium dealings.

In the end just like Origins once the game starts and you start making choices your still deciding if your bad or decent.

OP, what I am seeing from your posts is that your own personal view of Dwarves has little to do with how they are presented in the Dragon Age Universe. So I must ask, if your view of what Dwarves should be is so inflexible that you find playing as one in DA:I repugnant....why are you playing as one?

Shame on you for being reasonable and logical.

As for Coopers remark about it being unforgivable for dwarves to back down from a fight for any petty reason, the same could be said for one of the biggest war fetishists in history, the Spartans, an yet they did just that at the Battle of Marathon, it happens.
