I will be playing a human male rogue that is excited to be free of what is expected of him. He will be romancing Dorian.
I will also be planning to play a human female mage who has been told she's cursed so much she starts off as dutiful the changes.
he's joking you know
If he is then I am sorry. Its just gets really trendy to bash humans here and it gets tiring to hear it.

How many different human runs do y'all plan on rolling?
I'll only be doing two, one male mage and one female warrior which will give me both the human backgrounds. I'd like to play all other races as well so I won't do another human run unless I go through all my semi-planned 9 inquisitor runs (unlikely to happen tbh and they're likely to be reduced to keep world states).
Human player here. I aways found playing human was the best for me. It just feels like non human races feel better as NPCs that you interact with rather then being the player themselves. When I play human, I play as me. There is an sense of familiarity. But when I play as elves, dwarfs or Qunari, it's no longer the same. It feels like I'm playing as totally different people.
@MisterJB: Not entirely true. Humans don't compete with the dwarves for resources or land.
It's really the only way for two sapient species to co-exist.
anyway how are you Trevelyan players planning on playing? Embracing your chantry roots? Fighting your upbringing at every chance and shaming your family at every possible opportunity?
I plan on making mine a womanizing scoundrel of a rogue who's basically the child that the Trevelyan family would try to hide in a closet at fancy parties, cause he would probably hit on the host and drink all the wine.
I usually don't bother with races other than human - I just don't find fantastic species all that interesting to play. Probably because I'm not really big into fantasy - I like Dragon Age despite (rather than because of) the fantasy setting - though I have come to appreciate the lore quite a lot. That said, I do tend to self-insert at least my general world view and real-life values, even if the personality type of the characters I play changes.
So, even when playing a human I'll play characters who are anti-establishment (read: anti-Chantry), pro-freedom for all (pro-mage), and accepting toward other cultures (as in elves, dwarves, even Qunari even if I don't agree with the Qun philosophy).
Also, I find humans more of a blank slate, so to speak, so it's easier to create different personality types for them. I find it funny when people accuse human-players of being 'boring' but then they go on to describe the cliche shem-hating elf with trust issues they're going to play. Not that there's anything wrong with finding that fun, mind you, but i wouldn't call ir particularly imaginative. Though I have to admit I find all the pro-human, to-hell-with-elves posts in this thread a bit creepy. I realize some of it's tongue-in-cheek or just people in role-play mode (or at least I hope so), but still... Fantastic races or no, that sort of gleeful bigotry rubs me the wrong way.
But anyway, DA Inquisition might actually be the first game where I'll play an elf first, and it's purely because Solas seems like such a fascinating character so far that I want to see his romance arc first. After that though, I plan to go human mage then human rogue, both also female, and then... Either a male human non-mage or a qunari female mage. Depends on what I enjoy more combat-wise and whose romance I want to see next.
See this?

It's ours, humans own it.
The other races exist because we allow it and they will end if we demand it.
We should really get started on those Qunari, and soon. Dwarves are bros for life, and the elves are all put finished. It's time to put the oxmen in their place. Permanently, this time.

Everytime I play. Every single one. Forever.
I guess I'll chime in... I'll probably be choosing human on the second playthrough. No later than the third.
I'm going to have at least one unshakably devout human warrior whose dedication to the Chantry will lead him to join the Templars if the opportunity arises. That's pretty straightforward... nothing all that exciting about the idea, I just wanted an excuse to play as a Templar and this fits the Trevelyan background like a glove.
I've also been toying with a Loyalist human mage who is resentful of those who rebelled against the Circle because it led to him being forcibly removed from the comfortable life to which he had grown accustomed. Even more annoying for him is the fact that he has no legal means of claiming the noble title that would have been his birthright had he not been born a mage, and now he's out in the world forced to fend for himself with no coin to his name. I'm thinking he and Vivienne will get along very well since they both enjoyed life in the Circle, but after becoming Inquisitor, he might think twice about helping them be restored if that means he gets put back into one after this demon business is settled. If it looks like he'll get to keep his new status regardless, then it could go either way... The mage class doesn't look very exciting this time around, so I don't know if I'll ever get around to this...

This post oozes with extreme heresy.
Almost always played a human. I'm just shallow like that I guess 
. Playing as my own species somehow makes it easier for me to connect with the character I guess. Not to say I hate other races/species. I love that our companions are as diverse as they are 
.

Hey now... my canon Warden was a mage. A blood mage, in fact. I like the class in theory, I'm just not that impressed by what I've seen so far. Maybe the specs will change my mind. So... we're cool, right? I won't be facing divine retribution... yes?
You will be spared yes, tbh there has been little class info to be excited.

Yeah, I'm hoping the specs are good. Now that I don't have to worry about the apostate Hawke's story not making sense to me, I would like to play as a mage again... there is no reason for anybody to attempt to arrest the Inquisitor, so this is the perfect chance to get back into it. I might not be able to come up with a decent character until I play the game though... my first Hawke was a dismal failure because I went in expecting to be able to become a BA maleficar... lol... didn't even come close.
My first playthrough and main Inquisitor will be a female Human mage.
Hmmm, I think I destroyed you and your kind in another life...See this?

Suffer not the heretic to live. Magic is Might!
I joke. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. And mine is that human mage is the best. A shame we can't come from Tevinter. Anyway, mage class for the win and humanity is supreme.
My first run will be my only human (or at least my only one for many playthroughs), a female human mage. She will be a creepy necromancer who will probably freak most of her companions out from time to time. 
My future Human Mage Inquisitor.
The hat is a must.
