...and we were supposedly going to have multiple 'backgrounds' for our Inquisitor? Did we ever find out what those were?

[raging_monkey]

Nope sadly those went out cause of extention.... personally i was fine with what i saw

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

Don't think so. I remember I was crossing my fingers for an Avvar origin.

Would have been cool, but oh well. Race options>>>>different humans

[Krothar]

I was about to say that no, I remember there being 4 races, but the it became human only, but...

 

I DO REMEMBER I think I read about it very early on in a gaming magazine (Possibly the last one I ever bought). For some reason a 2 handed Human Warrior sticks out in my mind.

[Muspade]

I'm quite happy that it didn't go that way.

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

Think i remenber that and telling people it was early days back then... then being told to politely go and perform un natural acts with a goat.

[ComedicSociopathy]

Those were dark times indeed...

[Reidbynature]

Frankly I think it's a trade up.  Whilst it would be nice to see different origins like Avvar, I will take other races over different human tribes and societies any day.  I can't see the difference between being an Avvar or a city born human being as great as that as being either human or elf etc.

I think personally that if I have to lose the differents origins for playing only has a human then I am ready to if I can play as a qunari.

[bootyislovebootyislife]

I personnally think the backgrounds they had in mind would be your specializations, that you could pick at the beginning,

 

When they said we'd be human only, i thought each class would have three back grounds according to specializations, an evil, good and neutral one, but since its only background you can be an evil person forced into a good role or a do-gooder put in a bad situation.

 

Warriors:

Good - Templar

Neutral - Champion

Evil - Reaver (i thought they'd make you a cultist).

 

Rogues:

Good - Duelist (Rivaini noble of some kind)

Neutral - Bard

Evil - Assassin

 

Mages:

Good - Spirit healer (in service of the chantry)

Neutral - Elemantalist (Circle mage)

Evil - Blood mage

 

My first thought was actually that the origin story would be about an assassination attempt on the Divine haha, so i wasnt far off on that. I thought the Good backgrounds could've been tasked with protecting her, the neutral backgrounds were spying there and somehow became involved and the evil backgrounds were actually sent there to kill her. I managed to keep myself excited by entertaining those ideas instead of accepting we would all be playing a boring human noble.

Ah yes. I remember in the days of old when only humans were playable in Dragon Age games. I miss those days. Ah well. At least we're nobility in all of them, unless we're a mage unfortunately.

That just means we are chosen ones if playing as magi lol

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Dwarf and Qunari backstories were adapted human ones. 

[veeia]

Like a smuggler/mercenary thing, Kallen? I could see that for sure.

[garrusfan1]

I would like to have had the multiple options for each race like how DAO had two different backstories for each race. Well and the mage backround for the elf and human. Still I am happy we got multiple races so I am not gonna complain

[leaguer of one]

Those were dark times indeed...

 

Dark times indeed...

UH yeah you are nobility if your a human mage. The human rouge and warrior have the same last name as the human mage. So technically you would still be nobillity

magi lose there noblity status when they join the circles. Cant inheirent property, titles.

Yeah. 

The smuggler story they use for the Dwarf could be used for a human if you just switch the Carta to for example the Coterie. 

The mercenary story they use for the Qunari could be used for a human, just for a different band of mercenaries. 

[Lebanese Dude]

I would have been fine either way. I mostly play humans anyway

A lot of people wouldn't have though so I'm glad they took this route.

[RenAdaar]

I'm glad they changed it. I hate it in rpgs where im forced to play as a human after seeing all the different races.

[10K]

I'm glad they let us choose our race. Because after playing Hawke I was done playing human. Besides, when it comes to fantasy genre, I always pick elf as my race.

[ArvinDulku]

Frankly would have far preferred Human only + Multiple Background cause considering I will most likely play human only anyway (I might just run a Pro Chantry Dalish mage just so I can burn Dalish culture to the ground with a sense of irony) and I have always, always wanted to play the Avaar. Oh maybe a Nevaraan Necromancer, or something else genuinely interesting.

 

But oh well, people wanna play "elves" and "dwarves".

 

*shrugs*

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

Now that I think about it, I would probably be nowhere near as hyped for the game as I am now if we were still human-only. The race announcement was pretty much the turning point for me on this game. 

 

...I'd also have probably been playing it months ago...

[TK514]

I was disappointed when they changed it from human only. I expect the race differences to be minor and relatively meaningless, given the comparatively short time frame they've had to implement them. They should have stuck to their guns and worked to make what they had even better.
