Initial announcement here.
This time they're backing off from the full-spectrum-main-character model of Origins and going for the Mass Effect version. The main character is a fully-voiced human named Hawke, a survivor of the Lothering massacre early in DA:O, who fled to the city-states north of Ferelden.
But we'll be able to customize gender, appearance, and backstory (and, I hope, first name) after the manner of Commander Shepard. And the story will take place over a period of ten years, with our choices shaping the entire plot every step of the way.
...Lurker approves.
