One thing I'm worried ME:A WON'T have.....

I doubt we will have something like this:

But I'm hoping for some banter. Although ME didn't have much of it before.

they are still variables the developers created and thus not your story. 

Yes, but I'm speaking more on the mechanical side of it. Regardless of the requirements to get the banter, it at least has that sort of banter. 

ME:A 4 party member squad confirmed

So a character you make to look like you and act like you is equal to a character written by an author who gives you little options to do anything but be nice or a jerk and end up with the choice of 2 girls?

I only fail with the logic you have invented in your head, and no matter what anyone tells you, you will not see it their way and from your posts you are not for anything good about MEA or BW at all, so I am done talking to you.

Sure but it is not the kind of variations some people want. It is locked on gender, sexuality and appearance. For example I love playing table tops and there are various type of scenarios and games, some have set characters and others offer character creation in a set world with certain rules, the same can be applied to video games.

DA borrowed a lot of Mass Effect though.
I would not be sad if romances in MEA were handled a bit like in Dragon Age Origins for example where it isn't tied to the main story progression so you can actually get the sense of being in a relationship with someone over the course of the game. It made me smile in Inquisition when I got Cassandra's romance scene midway through the game and then during exploration the party would start to make remarks about the way my character and Cassandra looks at each other and stuff.

I do like the story-ties with how the endgame triggers the romance culmination -- they should keep that, but they should also allow banter and party-development to be more free now that we have so much open-endedness.

I find this strange because I had the banter bug in dai. The companions were mostly silent for me.
