I think my Male City elf playthrough was by far the most successful in addition to being my favorite due to the fact that he was a 2H warrior and rarely died!. But I liked the origin because you get to storm that douchebag vaughn's estate and kill him and what can I say I love playing as an oppressed underclass. But I was dissapointed when there was no dialouge option like "Oh don't worry storming the Urian estate won't be hard I've done it once already" when you have to rescue the queen from howe.


haha yes!  I spent a lot of the time during the hunt for Howe thinking..

"Oooh I remember this hallway - there was a dead guard just there!"

"I wonder if they've cleaned Vaughan's blood up yet?"

To get back on track... I enjoyed the City Elf Origin very much. It's actually very well written and you want to fight the dark spawn because there are people you do care about who will suffer should he fails.

- Did your CEF want to get married?

No at first. And then he changed his mind after talking to Soris and decided to just be a good daddy's boy after seeing things through Soris's eyes.

He had another change of heart after learning that the change of the wedding date is to "prevent" Duncan from taking him.

But his heart was not in being a Grey Warden. He is just frustrated at being told what to do all his life.

- Did you become the Bann or give the title to Shianni?

He let Shianni take the title. He loved his freedom too much.

- Do you prefer the MCE or the FCE??

I like both. But being male in RL, it is easier to enter the minds of the MCE character.

- What's your class?

Rogue. I tried a Fighter.. doesn't seems right. A rogue who does MUG the humans as Alistair descibed makes more sense.

- who did your CE romance??
Morrigan. In a perverse way, my CE enjoys the insults. :innocent:

sadly I don't. :( I have DA on PS3 first and I finely broke down and got it on PC just so all my characters could look better...and have ears like all the other elves as well. I hate that normally you are the only elf with weird flat ears.

- Did your CEF want to get married?
At first?,,,no way She was too in love with her freedom how ever seeing her betrothed made her figure there was worse ways to spend one's life....of course Vaughan's attack changed everything.

- Did you become the Bann or give the title to Shianni?
Shianni ended up with it since she was still alive....Killian, not so much

- How did you RP your CEF?
classic tragic heroine, spreading  her love of life and adventure to everyone she met. She made Alistair a kind of replacement for Soris and was even starting to fall for the noble hearted GW then was kind of heartbroken when he cut things off to be with Anora. Leliana fell madly for her and eventually my girl returned those feelings after meeting Margie and seeing what Leliana came from and what HER life might have been like if she had not been recruited by Duncan. Morrigan's betrayal hit her hard and she saw the DR offer as a betrayal. In the end she sacrificed her life finally knowing why the best storues she heard from Leliana always ned in death ...because that is how life is

- Do you prefer the MCE or the FCE??
Female...like everyone else that sword slide will live on in my memories as one of the single coolest moments a BW game has givee me.

- What's your class?
Rouge/ Bard/ Duelist
- who did your CE romance??Image IPB
First time was Alistair then Leliana
I recently rolled a male and that one will be a Morrigan romance. I've also rerolled another female who i think will fall for Zev

Incidentally how can I get that ears sticking out look? I have tried every way I could think of at CC but I can't seem to get the look right. Is it a PCmod or is there a way on the console?

So it's an US ending? That means that Cyrion is the bann, not Shianni.

Thanls for the heads-up Sarah...It has been awhile since I played her so some details have faded into the background.

I always thought that was weird. I mean, if you live and don't want the job you can pass it on to Shianni or just say 'give it to someone else' and maybe then they turn to your father? Do you just not feel he's qualified by Anora/Alistair do? Could they not find Shianni or she wouldn't come to the funeral so they made the dad the bann instead?

my next female city elf is going to be a total airhead, but I don't know how that's going to work out with the crappy things that happen in the origin. hmm..

She's so traumatized she represses it? Being an airhead could just be her way of dealing.

you can agree to everything... the marriage, etc... maybe be an evil airhead and take the money?

The return to the alienage must be awkward if you chose to take the money.

I actually don't find the elf faces too pinched if you choose the right preset. Their faces are longer than humans and they tend to have prominent cheekbones, but I like that because it distinguishes the race as more than just little pointy-eared humans. The only elven facial feature that bothers me seems to only be in the female elf presets. They tend to have this really jutting chin that you can't get rid of that the male elves just don't have (they look fine from the front, but you can really see it in the profile view). Or maybe I am just choosing the wrong presets, I don't know.

ETA: And yes, I hate how the PC elf has flat ears, while all the other elves have stick-out ones.  It was done so the ears didn't stick out of helmets I suppose, but I wish they had done that differently.  Either make the ears disappear when wearing a helmet, or make all the elves have flat ears.  As it is I always feel like my elf is some weird inbreed or something.  Also hair tends to clip the ears real bad, so if you don't want the clipping then you are stuck with only a handful of hairs.  And since I am on the PS3 there is no way to fix it. :(

Elves just aren't as good as humans for warriors, and they aren't as good as dwarves for rogues.



How so? Your race makes only 4 stat points difference, and if you´re on the PC not even that thanks to respec mod.
 The only thing it affects is the dialogue and your looks, but not the gameplay.



On topic: City Elf is definitely my favourite origin, and Shianni is the best NPC in the game.

no, she will not be an evil airhead, but I will use some of the dialog choices through the game that I normally would not because they just sound silly. (for example:win you win the landsmeet use the option "ha. you lose." )

I guess it helps that my girl would be kidnapped but not raped. though she has to be smart enough to know what happened to Shianni, right?

if I was ever going to write a fanfic it would be with my new idea, but I don't know if I'll actually write it.

in other news..I just can't seem to make a City Elf that is a warrior it just doesn't make since to me. I can get rouge, but not a warrior.

I'm the same, it just doesn't fit with the story while the rogue class fits like a glove. It also makes more sense for a Dalish to be a warrior to me. It seems with the elves we really got three different origins, one for each class. I wish the humans could have gotten the same. It makes more sense for the human noble to be a warrior. I wish we had gotten a human commoner origin for the rogue.

I've made some dalish rouges. yeah, warrior might fit a bit better, but I can at least see it. and I like being able to open locks in the origin and at ostagar. (now I have the lock bash mod I don't have to worry about that as much)



I've made some human noble rouges as well (I usually play as female so maybe that's why it doesn't bug me as much) to me it's about the attitude I want to give my human noble...sometimes warrior just doesn't fit.

Oh I don't disagree that rogues can come from either the Dalish or the Couslands, I've done both.  It just seems that lore-wise warrior fits better with those two origins, while rogue fits better with the CE origin.  I always try to take those types of things into account when building my character.  And I've always wondered from the very beginning why there wasn't a commoner origin for humans since there are for elves and dwarves.  Maybe the devs thought it wouldn't be different enough to warrant a whole different beginning?  I also want it for personal reasons.  I really don't like playing nobility and I have never finished a human noble run for this reason.  I'd love to play some poor farmer's kid or something though.  I love the story of the underdog rising to the top (which is one of the reasons I love the CE).

I've heard that the human commoner got scrapped because it didn't fit with the rest of the story.

My "Noble rogue" is a warrior at heart.

But she was also a bratty little sister who believed in invading her brother's privacy, so she learned to pick locks!
