It works better for them. Stronger characterization goes along with more developed personal background. I'd take that over few non consequential dialogue lines. Seriously, that's always been the case, all the way back from Baldur's Gate. You don't have to be a human at all for "stronger characterization. Could be qunari only and focus on that character having to deal with racism in the game. Humans are just the easiest choice to pick, and many times a copout. Being Qunari walking down the streets of Minrathous while a war is going on between the Qunari and Tevinter is retarded though.

Here's my issue, and it's strictly my issue and I don't expect any developer to make their development choices based on this, but it is something that informs my purchasing decisions.
If I'm playing a game where the enemies are orcs, then I want to be able to play as an orc, because a human fighting and beating orcs doesn't make the human look impressive, it makes the orcs look weak.
If I'm playing a game where the enemies are qunari, then I want to be able to play as a qunari because a human fighting and beating qunari does not make the human look impressive, it makes the qunari look weak.
That's my thing, my hang up. It bugged the hell out of me in DA2. Trespasser probably would have bugged the hell out of me if I didn't have the option to play through as a qunari.
So I'm not expecting Bioware to make that change and decision on my behalf, but I'm not interested in playing their game if that's the way they're going.

If it's true (it's highly doubtful), I have no problem with human only if it means resources are put into something else like quests, battle, etc. Though I'd appreciate multiple body types as compensation... I hate playing a mage or rogue that has the biceps of Dwayne Johnson.

I don't see that anyone has mentioned the release date listed in the leak. Doesn't that just seem way too soon? March 2019 is less than 6 months after Anthem is supposed to release. It's only 18 months from now and they haven't even officially confirmed they are actually working on the game.

I mean the first part doesn't sound like gibberish and lord knows I popped a boner with 60% of the game set in Minrathous and 200 times the size of Denerim but... Salos? Lol? Why? And while being human wouldn't make me immediately turn my faceskin off I dunno if Bioware would actually do that again. The idea of being attacked if you bring your Qunari companion into a place that "60%" of the game takes place in also doesn't reeeaaalllyyy sound like Bioware. Also, is equestrians a citizen class?

One of the Roman classes is often translated as "equestrians," yes. As for the rest, this thing isn't passing the laugh test. The release date's impossible and some of the feature are nonsense.

Retribution is a stupid name
Human only is lame
9:51 dragon is too long of a damn time jump
7 full npc companions is too few.
Your racial minority companions being attacked as you wander is ridiculous
Honestly, this whole thing sounds like some ones Free Think Anything Goes Outline....right before they edit it with a group of other experts and they tear it apart.

Recently it came to light that a 2+ year old reddit leak regarding Red Dead Redemption 2 that most people dismissed at the time did end up being largely accurate to the trailer they released last week.
So I guess maybe I shouldn't be too quick to dismiss this in it's entirety.

It's only 18 months from now and they haven't even officially confirmed they are actually working on the game. It's mentioned by the OP in his third info dump hence why I pasted it here. Also I seem to recall him saying that they might push back the release to November. Coincidentally that will be the 10th year anniversary of DAO launch.

hah! Yeah, not buying it, man. "Play as human for story reasons but can also be elf, dwarf or qunari"? That makes no sense. Plus, Iron Bull talked about spending time in Minrathos.
Whole thing sounds like gibberish.

1. As others have pointed out there are a few inconsistancies here or there.
2. This is probably a premptive attempt by Dutch for, when DA 4 'isn't this epic' he can say: What happened to the leak? Or if he is self aware: See a random poster on reddit can come up with a 'better story'.
3. Even if it is true, this also says its a year old, and a lot can change. In fact a lot of BioWare games start off as overly ambitious and then have to scale back features as we get to various constraints.

Boy I hope some of this is true and I would love having blood magic actually affect the story. I still doubt that it will be human only but if it is I'm okay with that.

Playing human only would make sense in the context of the story outlined here but I have some severe doubts about the authenticity of the leak. For a start off the "Old Order" trying to bring back the last two Old Gods. It was bad enough having the Chantry Andrastrian faith virtually forced on you but at least there was some continuity with current beliefs there. Tevinter has an Imperial Chantry and you can bet the Black Divine would not appreciate the competition, so either that would mean the Black Divine was behind it (not as stupid as it sounds since he is really corrupt) or you would be spending the entire game at odds with the ruling elite of Tevinter and forced into supporting this rebel faction whether you believe in their goals or not.
So the "Old Order" could be a faction that you are having to cope with as antagonists, in addition to the main big bad, and may be even someone you could, if you wished, align with, but compulsory membership seems unlikely.
Would also add that whilst Tevinter is based on ancient Rome, it already has its own established class system which does not mirror the Roman one exactly. Additional classes associated with this have already been revealed by Bioware which again are not precise copies of the Roman ones. The person writing this clearly thinks they do and so apparently knows nothing of the current lore regarding Tevinter. This makes their entire "leak" suspect to me.

Just looking at the format of this in comparison to the MEA leak makes me wanna give it side-eye, it reads a lot like a wishlist coupled with some light theorycrafting. Also I legitimately can't get over Salos it's hilarious.

Interesting if there's any truth to it.
I have no problem with human only protagonist but then i'm not as attached to choice in this area. Choices like Qunari always looked like they would at best be extremely problematic in a game set in Tevinter during a qunari invasion.
Not a huge fan of the repeat of the dead sibling thing.
Not sure about this old god cult.
No of companions slightly lower than ideal but then it's the same no as DA2 where i adored the companions, whereas DAI had a large no and i didn't particularly love any of them.
Like the sounds of a proper city. Like the sounds of certain companions getting abused in streets.

I'll believe it when I see it. If it's true though, it reads like they are going back to a DA2 style game. The would be fine with me since I liked that one the best of the DA series to date.
