I haven't noticed any differences between this and the initial version. Can You please explain what has changed?

Edit: Cancel that last sentence. I must have read the revised version before, only forgot it was revised.

There is also one factual error:

Elzair said:
For the first time, you choose how your character’s story begins and that choice changes how your story unfolds. (kinda true) From a grim barbarian wanderer who is the last of his kind (lie), to an exiled dwarven prince betrayed by his brother (lie)

'Grim barbarian wanderer' is a lie, alright, but 'exiled dwarven prince betrayed by his brother' fits dwarven noble origin rather well.

All in all, good read. Liked this review when it first appeared and still do.

Elzair said:
The world of Thedas is just so generic and soulless. Hell, even the name is generic -- Thedas is a placeholder name for THE Dragon Age Setting.

When I first realized the name part was true, I got a brief BSOD.
You have failed me, Bioware. This shall not be forgiven.

Is this different from the version that was posted months ago?

Yeah, and I even revised it a third time for this post.

Well, I revised it again (trimming out even more) and changed that fact.
