Dragon Age 2 - Three Concerns @ BitMob

Bitmob's editors have made an editorial about three concerns they have regarding Dragon Age. Here's one of the three concerns:

While I enjoy BioWare's other current RPG franchise, the paraphrased reactions used in conversation frequently result in Shepard saying something I didn't quite intend. I get that they're going for a smoother, more cinematic feel with less time spent reading text, but both Mass Effect and Dragon Age are RPGs first and foremost. That means I should be able to have control over my own character -- without the game getting in my way!

The recent news that GamePro dropped in the above preview gives me some hope for its implementation in Dragon Age 2:

"Moral choices have been refined in that visual icons of your character's dialog choices (like showing an olive branch for peaceful replies) will create less confusion for the context of a reply."

I'm still skeptical. Even though Mass Effect 2 consistently puts Paragon options on the top of the wheel and Renegade on the bottom, my Shepard ended up saying things he wouldn't have said if I'd have seen the text in full.
