I am probably alone on this (although I sincerely hope not) and wrong, but I hope the game doesn't completely thrust us into the spot of where the **** has hit the fan. I actually quite like that small semblance of 'normality' before things become readily apparent that bad things are happening, a lot, and that it needs to be sorted out pronto.

 

Or, if it drops us immediately into the Inquisition story then at some point we get to play some degree of 'origins.'

 

Why? Because I find it helps with context. BioWare stories are primarily about characters and their relationships. I'd like to see some semblance of these relationships (not necessarily with party members), but our 'families' (if applicable) and where possible even define these. The world is going down the tube, but I guess I'm a bit of a selfish bastard (with maybe something broken inside me) because I want to have a personal stake in it, mainly because Mordin's words are still with me from ME2 which is, to paraphrase, "you can't anthropomorphic the galaxy(Thedas)".

 

I mean Hawke sibling x who died to the Ogre (omg; spoiler) probably wouldn't have been 'as' emotionally confronting if it was mook #1 that wandered into the area (although it could have been far more emotionally confronting imo if it was played at a later date, imo, sibling x's death was no more or less emotionally devastating than Mhairi's in Awakening, which probably makes me a bad person).

 

Anyway, I was wondering if other people held the same views/different views?

I hope we'll be allowed to mingle (depending on our background) with people before the breach. I'd also like a quest or two that will allow us to explore our origins in more depth, especially the qunari Inquisitor. I'd love to see what a Vashoth community is like.

Well...it looks like we'll be thrown into the bad stuff right away, but hopefully we will get to have a different intro at least, even if only a small one.

I think since BioWare has gone to the trouble of creating some origins that have some pretty specific things in it, we will get to see some of those things play out in the game before we go off.  I don't expect it to be anywhere near as intricate as it was in DA O and it will probably be a five or six minute cut scene of just 'oh ye human noble of the Free Marches, go to the Summit, represent us.' But, I am expecting something.  And I do think we will get to mingle with the other representatives before hand too.  Though if I am wrong it will likely be on the former then the latter I think, now that I think about it.

Hmm... I'd prefer the game to start at the Summit, but before the bad stuff, and to have longer prologue at the Temple: mingle with people, point fingers at each other, have some drinks (they do serve drinks up there, right?). Because, since we won't have complete origins stories like in DAO, the scene before the Summit can be really short and can look very out of place: 

 

Your Noble Family Member: Hey, you! No time to explain, go to the ToSA, mingle with people and do some good Chantry stuff.

You: But... I don't support Chantry...

YNFM: Nobody gives a damn! Here's your pan, here's your horse!

BAM! Your character is already at the Temple. BAM! Bad stuff happens. 

 

Not to mention that you'll need five different starting locations (four races + human mage) and you'll need to introduce supporting characters (like, your noble family members, your fellow circle mages, the Keeper, members of Carta, etc) before the Summit, while this could be done with the voiceover:

 

Elf: You arrive at the Temple of the Sacred Ashes, sent to spy on the shems by the Keeper of your clan, who is completely irrelevant to the plot. Now go and insult somebody!

 

Qunari: You were hired to maintain security during the peaceful Summit between factions that can do anything but coexist peacefully. See grey-skinned horned guys? They are the members of your company. Go mingle with them, because they are totally gonna die in the next few minutes!

This is what I'm hoping for as well.

Yes me too ! I think it would give some greater impact to the story
