Okay, I made a quick list of things I would love to sacrifice in DA4
1. An inevitable appearance or reference to Morrigan. Unless you can kill her. 2. Reuse and Recycle of the previous protagonists. All three of them. I can load an old save if I wanna visit. 3. Each and every landform that bars the protagonist’ path. Yes, yes, I dream of playing on a paved parking lot. 4. The unavoidable betrayal by the love interest. Happy endings save the developmental budget! I will tentatively try to cope with a game that doesn’t have it. 5. The densely populated talky-talky special place. I am not shy. Let the whole crew see me hit on my LI if it means saving precious budget and my time climbing stairs and opening the doors. 6. More flowers, less trees! Annual flowers save all that time the developers spend waiting for the trees to get big enough in all those forested areas. 7. Less mobs, less often, less… well, less. Twenty undead drive the point “the area is infested with the undead” home as successfully as 120. Think of all the scripting! 8. Eliminate hair. All hair. Give up on it. Get over it. It cannot be done. 9. Let the dwarves deal with the Deep Roads off screen. Just flash a dialogue bubble: that’s where you were supposed to spend 15 hours in the Deep Roads and we cut it to save the budget. There will be cheering across the globe.
And, the point 10 was cut in order to deliver this post earlier.

I choose other Remove the option to play as a dwarf, elf and qunari. Just play as human. Um, no. Humans are boring. I'd rather be a Qunari or Dwarf than human. I just recently started playing DA2 and was disappointed I could only be human. That is part of the reason why I find Mass Effect boring. I like the alien races, but I find the male human protagonist Shepard to be boring. If Andromeda let's the player choose their race then it will be a game I'd consider buying.

I'd easily give up crafting. It isn't something I ever do very much and wouldn't miss it. The other stuff starts getting harder but probably next on my list would be the large maps.
Glad to see no one voting for side quests.

In DAI I only played dwarf and human. I was disappointed by the lack of content when playing as a dwarf in DAI Qunari gets a lot of race-specific commentary, because he is an obvious oddity as an Andraste's Herald. I do feel sad that so much love went into dwarves, but playing a dwarf is unpopular. On the other hand, it's like they really try to make elves as unappealing as possible, but it's as popular as ever. Humans.... Well, Qunari hit the sweet spot for me.

I would happily sacrifice voice acting and cinematics. I think that would make the game better, so it's not much of a sacrifice.
If we could go back in time and ask this question, I would also have happily given up MEA to get DA4 sooner.

I always play as them. I like the Dwarves too. I've never played as a human in DAI. I did play a couple of times as a human male in DAO though.

Crafting. Crafting's... ok, I guess, but not very interesting. If I could pay someone to upgrade my gear I'd be happier.

I'm fine with that as long as making money in DA4 isn't fucking hard like it is in DAI. I miss being able to easily reach 90k as I did in DAO and DA2. But now? Just gathering 10k is a struggle.

I'd rather sacrifice an extra year. Give DA4 an additional year of development, if that would mean they would spare some time for PC players and stop giving us bad ports. I want my damn action bar spread across my entire screen, dammit. And no weird menus.

The company can sacrifice ports and just make the game for the PC master race. Otherwise I don't want anything done half assed.
