That's would/won't (can't decide) be a problem because I don't fully believe "Professional" reviewers or haters or fanboys.

True people can leave 'trolling' reviews or blow things way out of proportion. But on the other hand why is it every game magazine that has a ton of advertising for a game (like most AAA titles) always gives 9/10 and 10/10 reviews for the games that have multiple full page ads in their publication? Customers aren't being paid to review a product where it most definitely seems like the one's that write for magazines do. No matter if you liked DA2 or not it wasn't a 10/10 game.
And I always told my friends (never posted a customer review on any site) that DA2 was a mediocre game, not horrible and not great, just average as a stand alone title but as a sequel to DA:O it was a horrible game. And while I was looking at BSN a lot in the month that followed the DA2 release a lot of the posts weren't blind hate for the game. There were plenty of well written reviews and explanations given as to why people didn't like the game. Though all the focus from the devs in the press seemed to focus on the crazy over the top hate posting.
I think overall it will be easy to separate the customer reviews that go in depth, articulate and well reasoned from the "DA:I suxxxxxx! DO NOT BUY 0/10!!!!!*!!!*!*!) style troll reviews.
I apologize, I was too hasty with my post and competely missed that you addressed it as a joke.
Here is the main theme. Composed by Trevor Morris. I quite like it,

they could start by redesigning all of them from scratch.
Didn't care for the slow 35 seconds at the start and was about to close it when the rest of the orchestra jumped in and suddenly I loved it haha. I still have a few Bioware soundtracks in my ipod, DA:O and all 3 ME's OST, say what you want about the ending of ME3, I loved that song!
Thanks for taking my post completely out of context...

Yay, new information and pictures about all the possible race, class and backstory combinations you are able to give for Inquisitor.
Hopefully the Character Creator will be released as separate demo before the actual relase of the game. It was quite nice in DAO and I always like to take my time when I plan my character in these type of games

25% ranged defense for Elves
25% magic defense for dwarves.
That's surely not game breaking at all. That vs 50 HP from Qunari, not sure how useful 50 HP is we'll see and 1 ability point for humans.

It's kind of Meeh, especially considering it's 2014 and we already got way better production wise and innovative OST that take place in fanthasy-esque stories.
I don't know why, but BioWare is way better when making Sci FI Soundtracks or hiring appropriate people.

Chhhhh.... I hoped Bioware will decide to bring health regeneration back. No, I have to spend money on health potions or wait until one of my mages will unlock one of these "rare special abilites".

Why would anything other than a rogue use daggers?
What kind of "role playing game" restricts what you can do to what they think you should do?
At least Geralt is a predefined character but even then, we can use spoons and polearms if we want to. Making it physically impossible to use something is an over simplification that shouldn't be present in cRPG's.
And it's not about a non rogue with daggers (which could be desirable, why not?), but about the freedom to, for instance, dual wield any two weapons. Long sword + dagger, dual short swords, dual hand axes, etc. DA:O was already oversimplified by fusing weapon proficiencies with skills. This is just ridiculous.

@Cormacolindor Seemed like a genuine inquiry to me, so I answered. Meh, no matter.
It's not a major deal to me, either. In fact, I think there are enough other games out there with looser equipment and combat style mechanics that something more focused like DA could actually be a pleasant change of pace.
@.Volsung. Didn't DnD restrict things like what classes could use what? Or is that somehow not an RPG? If you ask me, though, role-playing is about the character you play, not the equipment he or she uses.

The term RPG is somewhat loose these days. I am all for having weird combinations in RPGs, I have a melee Wizard in Diablo 3. The difference is that the melee Wizard is a viable choice while using daggers as a warrior in DA:I is just stupid.Stuff shouldn't be there "just because", You're making it sound like DA:I is the only game guilty of oversimplification but every modern RPG is guilty of breaking rules.
