I just watched the new gameplay video.

I've always had concerns about being forced to be supportive of southern Thedas' dominant religion, ever since the game's title was announced.

Then there was this "Herald of Andraste" business. Even if I can roleplay against it, I'd dislike spending the whole game detesting what other people call me.

Now it appears every time I claim an area, I'll put down a sign inscribed with a line that easily makes it into the top 3 of my reasons why I dislike this religion. Apparently, I'll help spread the faith whether I want it or not. Even if it's just symbolism, the message doesn't lose any impact.

Well, there's no way to be polite about this. If this happens, DAI will be a disaster of ME3-like proportions for me personally. And since this will be the second time in a row Bioware has attached messages I detest to my character without giving me any choice about it, I'll be wary of getting invested in Bioware franchises again in the future. It would be a shame. I love the world and the stories told in it. But if Bioware continues to define my protagonists for me in ways I hate, ultimately they're goling to lose me.

From one moment to the other, I've changed from pleasant anticipation to trepidation. This is all too much like the ME3 story...

Is there anyone who would be able to confirm this with a source? That would be really nice.

 

In the early going in any case, it's what people call you though you're free to say it's not true.  Obviously I'm not going to give away spoilers on what I do know, and I can actually only speak on maybe the first 10-15 hours of the game (due to the game being long, and my job this project involving much less "play the game." I'm actually looking forward to DAI release as a player because it'll probably be the first DA game I actually legitimately play after launch).

 

Reading the thread in its entirety, I can't speak definitively since I'm not you and I can't say for sure what things you are and are not explicitly okay with. Having said that, I am reasonably confident that I think you'll be okay with your character's agency in this regard (though I do hope it works really well for you).  Hopefully that helps assuage some fears about your character's views, even if you have to endure other people calling you the Herald from time to time.
