I know most folks here have given up on Bioware but while I have my reservations I have still enjoyed the Dragon Age and ME games so I still follow them, if not as closely as I might something like Project Eternity.
So for those who are also interested in any news on DA3 here are some scraps from the forums, primarily from QuickSilver (whom I am quoting).
Oh and QuickSilver also posted a link at BSN with some concept art (scroll to the top of page one on the link below):

so this is just a wrap up of what was tweet about the edmonton expo DA3 stuff
Protagonist is human.
Player can choose different backgrounds for their character that will affect portions of the story.
Warden and Hawke may appear if you played the first two games and as NPCs.
Flemeth is coming back. (said somewhat jokingly)
Dragon Age is not a trilogy but there will be a close to certain stories, “threads.”
The is a big Qunari story waiting to be told. Not a big focus of the story but we will learn more.
Importing save files from previous games are presenting an issue due to the switch engines. However they are looking at how to keep the Player’s choices.
We are going across many lands this time around.
(not sure about the problem with save imports thought didn't see that this is someone else summary)
this is the save import tweet
{Cameron Lee @BioWare @Cameron__Lee"how will you handle save game import?" Mark: we will bring choices across, we're investigating some ways without save imports}

Character customization will return "in a big way" for Dragon Age III according to a BioWare panel spilling details and concept art on next year's game at the at the Edmonton Comic & Entertainment Expo today.
Already known as Dragon Age III: Inquisition and slated for a "late fall 2013" release, BioWare said it would release concept art being shown at the expo later today. Cinematic designer Jon Perry said that "one level in Dragon Age 3 is as big as all of the levels in Dragon Age 2."
Creative director Mike Laidlaw said that "customization is going to be bigger than Dragon Age Origins," to include "follower customization," according to producer Cameron Lee's live-tweeting of the event.
Asked how much control players would have over their character, lead writer David Gaider said "You will be human," before adding that "backgrounds will be in Dragon Age 3 even though you will be human, it's not playable but it does significant impact on the story." That again was according to Lee's twitter feed.
Other details trickling out suggest that you'll be able to take control of your own castle, and that the game will import prior character choices but, said executive producer Mark Darrah, "we're investigating some ways without save imports."
