 How do you guys role play your city elf?

[KnightofPhoenix]

I role play my city elf as a lithe, pointy-eared person who excels at poverty.

I've done it every which way.



My canonical (favourite) warden is a city elf rogue who was a good girl, happy with her life, looking forward to getting married and becoming an adult. She grew up fast.

[Asepsis]

My city elf is a female, she's got a bit of a sarcastic edge to her personality, she tries to good and the best she can but sometimes a few of her actions are questionable. I use dual weapons, and I play as a rogue since I think it fits with the character. Plus Rogues are just awesome, haha.



Hmmm, I also specialize her in Assassin/Ranger skills. I tried dualist lately though and that one is awesome.



I suggest Assassin/Dualist if you want to do most of the damage, but being a ranger is useful because you can summon an extra party member.



Is that what you meant?

Thanks for responding guys! Personally, I want to make my city elf a psychotic bastard who hates humans so I should probably just refuse to help anybody who asks for my help that's a human. I'll kill Connor, do the dark ritual and just be a complete douchebag.

I played a female city elf that way.  except she romanced Leliana, was just beginning to trust people again and all; she even started listening to Wynne.  then she defiled the ashes.  And learned she was right all along to not trust stupid shems.  

Edit:  there are quite a few opportunities to kill people, i learned.  And Alistair disapproves of them all.

When I role play my City Elf my safety word is banana. Although who ever role plays Vaughn always says "Bananas don't exist in Thedas", then I start to take off my shirt and cry.

[DebatableBubble]

Well, my elf isn't going to get along with him but they'll still have a mutual respect for each other.

[DebatableBubble]

Hooray for bananas!!

I'm roleplaying my city elf similarly, but with a few twists. First, she only hates human men since they are the ones that remind her of Vaughn and his league of rapists. Second, while she is a loose cannon who won't blink twice before killing someone who looks her the wrong way, she does have a soft side that can show up from time to time. She's romancing Leliana and that has helped a lot in soothing her rage.

So she's not a total loony, but she has done some pretty nasty things, like siding with the werewolves because:

a) She wanted to keep the descendants of human rapists cursed for life.
She wanted to kick the daylights out of those pissy Dalish who called her a flat ear.

She has also killed a LOT of random people. The prisoner in Ostagar, injured soldier in the Korcari Wilds, Lloyd, Berwin, Owen.... and even Zevran (*sniff*).

And Alistair's approval is almost at -100 hostile. Fun times!

She will also arrange a marriage between him and Anora just to make humans suffer the horrors of an arranged marriage (she was totally against getting married in the Origin).

EDIT: On the positive side, she did help Bella and Kaitlyn in Redcliffe, as well as Athras in the Dalish camp (since he was the only Dalish who wasn't rude to her).

Alistair? Well, there won't be much respect there if you stick to your plan, but he won't try and kill you. That's a plus.

^ Pretty much this. Made her a warrior like her mother. I was impressed when someone mentioned their elf showed up at Landsmeet wearing the wedding dress with hell to pay.

[CalJones]

My first city elf was a gay woman who didn't want to marry at all, but she also wasn't up for being raped by some human noble. She was highly suspicious of Alistair, as a result. She ended up with Leliana, however.

I'm about to embark on a playthrough with a male city elf who will be a complete and utter coward. He'll sell out Shianni to Vaughan, most likely will leave Redcliffe to the undead and will generally avoid doing anything he doesn't have to. Will he redeem himself in the end? I haven't thought it through that far, but it'll be quite refreshing to play a character that way as my games tend to end up very samey, lately (I've played through DA enough times to have explored most of the options and know which ones I like best).

[Liliandra Nadiar]

My city elf female was a bit of an independent type, didn't like the idea of the marriage solely due to not having a say in it, or meeting the guy before hand. Cautiously warm to Nelaros, but he got major points for coming after her. Has something of a chip to human nobility and not at all opposed to seeing them die. Turned Isolde into a battery (I enjoyed that far to much. Hate that woman.) to save Connor. Had a fair respect for Loghain, commoner who proved noble blood =/= superior, and recruited him. Romanced Zevran since she's not interested in contributing to the end of her race and Alistair proved to be too much of a 'noble' after all.

**evil grin** Someone should tell Avernus that. (Watches head roll away) Oops, too late.

And there's one that Alistair doesn't disapprove of!

[Zjarcal]

Alistair (if hardened) also approves of killing Jowan in his cell.

[Quill74Pen]

For some weird reason, Alistair actually approves of killing mages who have dabbled in blood magic. What did they do to that poor boy in the Chantry!

Quill74Pen ;-)

[Zjarcal]

But like I said, he only approves of that when hardened, otherwise he will disapprove. Normally he's all up for showing mercy, even to blood mages (although reluctantly).

And of course, he is also capable of romancing a blood mage...

True, but I like to harden the man-child most of the time. The only time I didn't harden him was my first playthrough. Hmm. Maybe I'll keep him soft this time around and only harden Leliana (as I usually do, since I like the bard part of her more than the Chantry mouse part).

Quill74Pen

[Liliandra Nadiar]

Of course, if you let Jowan go, he disapproves as well. So he want's mages all locked up then. *sagenod*

So far, my female CE is a DWW, and I want to make her a Berserker eventually, as she tends to just run into battle blades flying every which way.  lol

She didn't want to marry and resented that the human bigotry was holding her back from being anything more than a pauper or laborer, despite her skills.  She made a mess of that mansion and those rapists, and then took full responsability to save Soris.  She really fancied Dunkan the moment she found that he is a friend of their elder and that he was not above complimenting an Elf.  She couldn't have been happier to become a Warden.  Despite the horrors that preceded it, joining the order for her was like her greatest dream come true.  She imediately took to busting some balls.  LOL  But she softened up quite a bit after the fall of Ostigar, and comforted the silly fool Alistair, who she started to like, but only as her idiot friend.

She is very proud and mistrusting of humans, but tries to be patient and professional towards them.  She is not interested in romance, she's only interested in her mission and her own agenda, and in proving to the world what a noble, powerful, and honerable warrior an Elf can be.  I'm not far enough along with her to know much more about her yet.  I do think she will harden Alistair and make him solo king.  Anora did nothing to protect her people.  She will also make a grab for political power, trying to become for Alistair what Loghain had once been for Marick, as she does reguard Alistair is a bit of a fool.  A likable fool, and well intentioned, but to her he seems a fool none the less.  I don't know if that will change at all by the end of the game.


My male CE is a Rogue, and a bit of a slimeball.  He does not mean to be... he just lets his desires and personal issues get the better of him at first.  This results in him selling out Shiani.  He believed he could prevent his people from being punnished for what he's done by taking the bribe, not because it's at all likely, but because he was panicked, weak willed, and wanted to believe it.  He told himself when it's all over he'll use the money to help his people, not just himself, though he secretly desires to just run away in the night.  But of course he realizes afterwards that he is a selfish fool.

I have not gotten far with him yet, but I suspect he will blunder through the game, torn between his own inferiority issues, his baser urges, and his desire for redemption as he is plagued by guilt.  I think it is likely he'll be close to Zevran, but cut him loose after the Taliesin encounter, resisting his selfish desires for once, wanting his friend to have his chance at freedom.  He will likely be my US Warden.

He doesn't disapprove of the killing of Loghain either.  I was talking about the random killings, not justice killings.

Edit; I thought my point was clear.  I guess i should never assume that!
