Quite looking forward to it, as either a first or second playthrough! It's great to get an option that breaks from the human-elf-dwarf trifecta.
I'll never play human. The name "Trevelyan" has sufficiently unpleasant associations that I wouldn't enjoy being addressed that way.
I will play as one on my second or third playthrough.
Not really, Humans number one.
tal'vashoth.
and no.
I was expecting to basically play qunari chronicles.
First playthrough Male Quanari mage. Looking forward to the race/ class specific dialogue! Hopefully it will be amazing.
I'd like to play as a female Qunari warrior, but it depends how close I can get the character to look to the idea in my head. In my head she is basically the Ogre from Origins.
Male, maybe, but female, no. Lack of nice hairstyles currently doesn't make them appeal to me.
I would be interested in playing a character if i can customize how they look, with options that make sense to me.
If Qunari have only 4 hairstyles, i don't know if i'm gonna be able to make one after all.
First, we have seen female only, i don't know how the males are, but i assume they are identical or close, since i saw some of their hairstyles.
Second, the lack of options means, that i have to find something that would please me among the 4 existing ones, which is less than likely.
Third, i can't hide my hair in a helmet, i only have face paint, which means i'm stuck with the hair i choose, and have to see it all game.
It's not looking good at the moment.
I will decide when i see the actual character creator.
Basically this is how I'm approaching it, too. Playing as human first to establish a "normal" world reaction baseline, then I'm going Elf, Dwarf and finally Qunari last, since I figure Qunari will be the most reflexively outcast of the possibilities.
If you look at a qunari with horns, how would that be possible?
The helmet would have two different sections that are locked in place at the top, like a cuirass for the head.
In fact, Qunari do have helmets in DA2.
I was most definitely excited when I first heard about it. But seeing as how I normally play a Mage, and how the Qunari Mages were in DA2, I figured that we could be Rogues and Warriors, but not Mages. I was pretty bummed...until they made it so you lived outside the Qun and could be a Mage. So yeah, looking forward to becoming a Knight Enchanter and seeing how people react to me. The lack of options in the CC doesn't really bother me as much as other people, so no problems there!
And if I can make my Inquisitor look anything like this guy, then even better! Obviously I might change how I want him to look once I actually start the game, but seriously, look at this dude!
I am torn between a female dwarf rogue (thanks character creator you completely changed my mind from going Elf rogue again) or a female qunari mage. It sounds very odd to me that there are qunari rogues mainly because of their size is what makes the idea sound weird to me.
Dwarves look absolutely amazing right?I am torn between a female dwarf rogue (thanks character creator you completely changed my mind from going Elf rogue again) or a female qunari mage.

At first I was 100% sure my first inquisitor would be a qunari. But now I am thinking about choosing a human as my first inquisitor.

I wonder if this guy is one of the presets? He seems to be pretty popular lol.

What's wrong with Trevelyan?
Definitely looking forward to it! I never really play male characters but this time I absolutely have to play a male Qunari.
A female qunari is also a must. which I play first that I don't know yet.
As for a qunari rogue, what spec were you thinking of using?
I like the idea of a Tempest. Pop a flask, then bam, a flaming dual dagger wielding monster in battle
Tempest sounds interesting, the way you put it, and I should keep myself open to that. But if Assassin is anything like the DA2 spec, then I could end up going that route instead. I guess I'll have to see the full trees and perhaps some actual gameplay (have we seen Tempest in action yet?) before I make a decision. Or, you know, try both! 
Like Genshie, I'm also curious what you all think of qunari rogues. Part of me feels that warrior is the most in-character class for a qunari, given their size and strength (not to mention that 10% vs. melee racial bonus), but we did see some rogues in DA2, not only Tal-Vashoth but the Arishok himself. (Actually, I think rogues might have outnumbered warriors among the qunari in DA2.) Granted, it's their dual-wielding that means they must be classed as rogues according to the game engine, but I do like this idea that qunari can be dual-wielding rogues, provided their "daggers" are the size of one- or two-handed swords/axes. Since the devs have mentioned (apologies for the lack of an actual quote) that there will be some pretty big daggers in DA:I, I think a DW qunari rogue wouldn't necessarily be that OOC. Add to that the fact that a qunari inquisitor is Vashoth, meaning that s/he needn't subscribe to Qun mentality (and could be made to reject it entirely, depending on your tastes), I think an archer would be fine, too.
However, I agree that the size makes me just a little hesitant about a rogue. I can easily imagine a warrior or a mage towering over everyone else (or being relatively small, for that matter: dwarfs make great warriors and elves mages, for example), but a hulking rogue strikes me as a bit of an oxymoron. On the other hand, the unexpected combination could work really well, and I can't wait to see how it goes!
ETA: We did see a Qunari archer play an important role in DA2 (at the end of the episode involving Sister Petrice), so there are definitely archers among them.
I think it's a nice addition for sure but I have my ups and downs about it. They are tall, massively strong, and the vast majority of them belong to a uniform culture. Playing as a 'special snowflake' (you know that's why the qunari PC is a Vashoth, to keep their slate clean) sort of worries me in the sense that they will be like a human PC with a qunari appearance. Meaning it's only cosmetic with merely a racial bonus.
I don't get that vibe from the other races (Elven and Dwarven) since they have far more fleshed out, established lore and cultures. You've seen Elves and Dwarves that are IN their culture (Dalish, Orzammar) and those who are out (Surfacer). Especially since in Origins you got to play a Dalish/City Elf or Orzammar Dwarf PC. You see the variety that is there. You haven't really seen that with most qunari, not even the Tal-Vashoth (who have been depicted as little more than raiders).
But I'm not shunning it. I have a female qunari mage who will play the role of protagonist in at least one of my initial playthroughs (not first, likely second or third), and a male qunari warrior down the road. I just hope we get to FEEL like we're playing a qunari like we did when we played an elf/dwarf in past games.
I'm still debating between Elf Rogue or Human Mage. Qunari isn't in the equation yet. Being taller than everyone sounds nice though.
