This is not how you tell a story or establish a setting, Bioware. You cannot - CAN NOT - change things so radically without completely destroying the setting's sense of identity. It kills continuity, confuses fans and serves to disconnect the player from the experience. It's not an excuse to completely redesign the people of your universe because "Our artists were bored". I'm glad you have original IPs now, but good god you have to have respect for them. Changing things so broadly demonstrates lack of respect for the IP you've created, and if you don't care then why should I?

edit: Also the above is not true. We saw more Qunari than simply Sten, the problem was the DA team was lazy and used Sten's model for all the Qunari we encountered, this painted the picture of a race who had a very established appearance even if it was not the desired intent.
I disagree. It does not affect my view of the original game. That's like saying that Star wars ep. 1 through 3 ruined 4 through 6. Bioware's pulling a Lucas on us, sadly. DA 2 is heading rapidly from the "wait and see" category where I might have bought it fairly early if I heard good news to the "hope one of my roommates gets it to see how the game is" category. Otherwise I'm hands off.
