At what time period does the game take place relevant to the original? Because if it's many years later....
I'm just gonna call it... You are Morrigans/demon/Gray Warden love child.
As far as i understand you start around 10 years after DA:O, you were alive during the Blight, you were stationed in Lothering but instead fighting you decided to escape to Free Marches. So no, you are not going to be tied to DA:O character in any way. Im more leaning towards the plot brining you at some point to meet with either Mori (which i would love due to Claudia Black VO) or her child.
As for the whole deal. Give them time. You so far know nothing about the gain except few very vague details. They said the combat still will be tactical on PCs and only consoles get a more pad-friendly system.
I also doubt they will go alignment way, circle is just much more convenient in choosing responses over numbered list.
