Guess I should say that I was very glad when they announced multiple races was returning, and I'm usually a human player my first go. Quite a few people were disappointed that they lost all the options they had before in DA:O, and I'm glad they can finally go back to doing what they enjoy again.
Mostly just made this thread because I was curious if there were ever any details released on the old concepts. I'd still take races over them any day.
I remember. I was really bummed. But it made me all the more excited when multiple races was announced.
Sorry, though, that I don't remember any details on the different human backgrounds.
Having seen Origins with multiple races and seen DA2 with human only I can honestly say i couldn't give a rats bottom which way they went in and of itself. Da2 was an inferior game with a superior story. Of all the things wrong with it, being forced to be human wasn't one of them, it was required for the story.
In origins the stories between the origins were not equal. And how the story of the main game wrapped into your origin was also not equal. As I recall the developers stated clearly that it was not easy to write and they couldn't do a lot of things they wanted because of the different origins.
The above said I think the "science" of taking story and putting it into a video game has progressed within bioware since origins. SWTOR although a different studio will have given bioware a LOT of experience on integrating varied back stories into other story elements. So I think either appraoch would have been right, it all depends on the story being told and they likely saw that x numbered of varied human backgrounds isn't that different from x number of varied racial backgrounds. and given that the story didn't require a very narrow origin like the Hawke story making the leap to different races wasn't a large issue.
Considering I won't look at the other races, much less actually play them, yeah....don't really care.
Yeah and it was awful!
I recall it was the time I wasn't planning on buying the game and instead watchng let's play at best
Thankfully, it seems Bioware do listen to the critique and they made a right choice to bring back races
If we have a human origin again next game, maybe for once they won't have a noble background.
I am glad I get to be an elf because I like romancing elves with their own kind.
Yes, I remember the thread on BSN announcing that the protagonist would be human-only. I was pretty disappointed myself, and am glad they changed that.

I was looking forward to it still, when it was human only. I think humans are still very diverse.. instead of "plain" or whatever people think. I figured they'd do something a little different than Hawke, and make different psyche profiles like Shepard had (but better). Only an assumption though.
In any case, I would have been playing it by now 
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...
Wasnt the original plan for multiple races, and then they announced it was human only? Before going for the more choices again (at least that's what I understand from reading the twitter thread)
If I had to play human only, I think being part of the chasind would have been nice
y'know, the local barbarian, being the one to lead the Inquisition LOL

If I recall correctly the original plan was to have human only. They did say something about considering adding more races but were constrained by the release date at the time, then said date got pushed back and we got where we are right now... not sure of that however.
I'm so, so happy that they had the multiple races. Honestly, that was the turning point for me.
However, I am curious as to how the multiple human origins would have played out. Before the multiple-race option was implemented, I was really hoping one of the backgrounds would have involved the Inquisitor being an elfblooded child.

considering being half elf means you look human. That isnt too interesting
