Of course, the Dwarf Noble is good, too. It's kind of the 'easy mode' among origins, since you can get so much gold to start with if you play your cards right, but the story is genuinely compelling and the decisions you have to make when you return are a little less clear-cut.

Dear Lord! These have to be the Sweetest Screen-shots I've ever seen on the Fourms. How the Heck did you manage this?
By the by, Dwarven Commoner all the way. Underdog story from the get go. Protecting a Sister, Fighting against a corrupt system of Rule and Tradition, and the complex choices that come later with who to put on the Throne. Outstanding.

So ... pause a lot. Check out all the angles on all of your companions. Someone's having a good moment somewhere. Take a screenshot. Rinse, repeat.
Edit: Oh, get mods that take out spell effects and ability glows in addition to removing the circles underneath the characters and the screenshots come to life.

Twenty minutes in the DN is the underdog as well and having everyone hate her for what she's done instead of just 'oh, look, facial tattoo!' is pretty bad, too. Yeah, you don't have Rica to protect (and Rica hates you because you're a noble and Bhelen said bad things about you) but the other parts of that are true for both.By the by, Dwarven Commoner all the way.

In fact, I'd say the choice of who to put on the throne is even harder as a DN. For the DC there is Harrowmont who hates casteless and on the other there is the man who takes care of Rica, the father of your nephew, and the more progressive candidate. On the DN side there's your brother who caused all your problems and engineered the death of your ther brother but who is a member of your House and more progressive but on the there is a man who always liked you, who your father chose to succeed him, who saved your life by telling you about the Wardens, who allowed Gorim to say goodbye, who won't change anything, who would remove your family from the throne after nine genrations, who may let you succeed him, and who doesn't stand a chance without you.

Thanks! I just pause my game a lot (like every few seconds) while in combat and jump around on each character to see if there are any good camera shots. The top picture with Bhelen took a few tries (I'd reload a saved game over and over), but I basically had to dump all my aggro on him and pull him up the stairs to the throne so I could get a clear shot of the two of us. Otherwise all the deshyrs were crowding us out and nothing looked good. The bottom one was just lucky. I took the picture from Alistair's point of view (scrolled out and panned around) when I saw how nicely it framed the dwarf.

Wish I had that Luxery. Sadly, as the owner of the 360 version, I'm afraid the wonderful world of Mods is closed to me. Damn you Console Limitations...

Dwarves are so damned awesome that it matters not whether you comes from the depths of Dust Town or the tiers of the Diamond Quarter. Only that, for pure game/RPG value, you will never go wrong playing one of the stout folk.

I gotta agree with Sarah, the decision about who to support should be really simple for a dwarven commoner.

Funny thing is, a lot of people have been saying they never liked elves until Dragon Age, well I'm that way with dwarves. Dragon Age made dwarves much cooler imo.

In many ways, I agree.
DA is t the first time I actually got very excited and attached to playing a dwarf, because of the richness that DA added to dwarves and dwarven culture.
Personally, despite my name, I've never been a great elf fan. Thanks to the DA universe, I can come out of the closet and say "Oooorah! Dwarves!!!!!!!!!"

huzzah! I like both too, but my Brosca wins by a hair slither due to her personality. t

I strongly disagree that either is richer than the other. They are both very well done and it just depends if you want to be a Cinderella story or the vindicated exile.there's just such a richer backstory starting from the bottom

What about the tattoos that bothers you? The limited designs you pick from or the fact they even wear them at all?Sarah1281 wrote...
Is it shallow if additional points against the DC origin as my favorite is my dislike of facial tattoos and the name Brosca while I love the name Aeducan?
