I don't yet have any plan for sharing/not sharing DAI info once I start playing.
I don't mind learning certain kinds of pre-release info about the game from the developers but I am extremely selective about the kinds of fannish discussions/info/speculations/fanworks I am exposed to until I've played a game once. It isn't just a matter of spoilers but also headcanon/fanon. I don't want to over think the game when only tiny tidbits are out.
For professional reasons, I have been selectively spoiled on a few of DAI's cut scenes. Of those, a small handful are ones where that I don't mind from the first few hrs of the game, one that is merely a character development scene (which is fine), and one set of scenes from an actual quest that I would have preferred *NOT* to know about because it spoils a plot decision for that quest, but it appears to be nothing major.
Ah… DA2. I went into that game with ZERO spoilers and ZERO knowledge of what I was getting into. Personally, I was able to guess a few major plot points because I am a very careful and thorough player and Bioware tends to foreshadow through a megaphone. Although that didn't lessen my experience. On the other hand, if I had be spoiled on those elements rather than guessing them, it wouldn't have been as much fun.
DA:O: Up front in the official Prima Game Guide the writer put a giant unmarked spoiler for KING ALISTAIR on the same page that has info on how to spec him as a useful warrior. Grumble. I would have much preferred to learn the bastard royal connection just outside Redcliffe like I was supposed to.
