Classes in Dragon Age 4

So the conversation has kind of dove tailed in this direction (as of this writing) in the stealth thread and while I do not mind natural evolution of conversation...I do not think there has been a thread like this and well again I am kind of curious about what the community wants or thinks on this issue.

Traditional Classes- Already what we get in Dragon Age to this point. Warrior, Rogue, Mages.
Full Classless- No Classes at all, everything is available to all players, or theoretically available to find eventually for all players.
Hybrid Classless- Still have classes but eliminate or reduce them.
Passive Classes- The idea being that all your active skills are available to all players but each class (whatever they are) has access to different passive or active buffs...maybe even a unique uber skill.
Occupation/Organization based- The most esoteric on this list and the one which casts the widest net, but the basic idea is either A. this will determine what your starting skills will be as well as some background information and from there it will be a 'classless' system. Or B. to replace the class system for DA and replace it with this. In other words a Grey Warden will have different skill tree then an Antivan Crow and a Tevinter Magister could have a different skill try then an Elven Keeper.
Specializations- For this purpose not specializations as in how they have worked in DA past but more along the lines of everyone starts off with the ability to all have the same basic skills/ abilities, but then later on as you explore and role play you can then choose a specilization which can make you *more* of a rogue or *more* of a warrior.
Classless with hard limits: The idea being that you can do whatever you want but there is some limit on what you can do, like a level limit, which would still encourage you to be strategic.

Since these aren't mutually exclusive you can vote for up to two of them.

As for me: I do favor strongly the 'hybrid classless' model. Sadly the lore probably does not permit them to go full on Classless easily. So in other words I want them to combine the Warrior and Rogue Class while leading mages alone.

I am sympathetic to the idea that a class can aid in Role play.

However I feel the benefits far outweigh the losses, especially with how it goes for DA.

1. Namely the complaint that 'Rogues can't use swords' or 'Warriors can't use bows', if these two were the same class you could mix and match what you bring out into the field (especially since I feel it would almost be mandatory to have all characters have access to both range and non range options)
2. With the length of games these days it almost encourages less and less repeat playthroughs, I will leave that as a value neutral statement but consider if this is the case more people may want to be able to do more mixing and matching and experimentation during their playthroughs...they should be allowed to do so.
3. More fun and more mixing and matching...If you want to be a traditional rogue you can or if you want to be a rogue who can take a pounding...you can do that to.
