Well I think they're on the right track with the diverse range of characters, if nothing else. It's really the main reason I enjoy the Bioware games; its an oppurtunity to interact with a really eclectic crew.
I may be in the minority, but I already hate pretty much every companion except Varric, Blackwall and Iron Bull. A shame as the game mechanics seem to be a huge improvement.
I dislike that Dorian hates his own people (it would be cool to have someone who actually stands up somewhat for the Tevinter Imperium, as that would add an interesting moral dynamic to the party, so missed potential here).
Cole seems to be a weird, "misunderstood" emo stereotype.
Cassandra is too devout a templar (and I always play a pro-apostate, anti-establishment character).
Vivienne is far too pro-circle, which places her not far off Cassandra in being strongly pro-establishment.
Solas' head makes me feel uneasy (but OK other than that he's not so bad).
Sera I hate the existence of as I would have liked a hetero-male anti-establishment romantic subplot (on a side note an estimated 0.7% of the population are strictly lesbian females; there are more bisexual women than homosexual, so I feel they should have made her bi, and this wouldn't have harmed anyone).
Bioware rattle on about discrimination and diversity, yet all their characters look like models. Physical profiling is the accepted 'face' of discrimination.
First of all, the characters aren't that physically perfect.
Secondly, what's wrong with a game full of beautiful people? Having men and women who are nice to look at makes the game more enjoyable and less uncomfortable, and it's fantasy anyway, so this sort of thing is expected.
Way to go Bioware on bringing such diversity to the game.
Seems like a change in diversity and will be well supported by gamers. A times they are a changing.
mooi man, i like. Looking great, enjoyed this series a lot, hope this one delivers
I loved dragon age 1, 2 was a bit underwhelming, hopefully 3 will be great it looks like being so from what we seen so far.
