how about:

1)choose your race and gender (human, eldar, ork (eww female orc...))

2)choose your backstory (sort of like 'mass effect' but more options to reflect scale of game)

3)play a couple of tutorial missions (getting you aquainted with melee, ranged, abilities & items. 'fable' comes to mind)

4)something quest related happens that you use to define your faction/class/"talent points" if they have them (eg. spacemarine/assault marine, guardsman/sniper, tau/firewarrior)

5)short "X years later" cinematic, your in the game ready to start developing your avatar...

i know its not really cool to predict how a game will turn out or go around saying "THIS IS WHAT I WANT!" but with still so much mystery around this title, its hard not to speculate on what the developers are doing behind the scenes.
