I like all the origins. I don't dislike any of them.



Favourite: Female City Elf. This had the most personal impact



Least Favourite (but still good): Mage (Forced bad choices are rarely fun, less so when they are out of character).



Dwarf Noble was very well done as an origin. Both the Dwarf origins were well done in terms of coming back to Orzammar and having an impact. Unlike every other origin, with the Dwarf origins I knew exactly who I was backing for king for each one.

Best and feels most cannon is Human Noble.



Worst - Dalish Elf

[AndreaDraco]

I've yet to try the Dwarf Origins, but as far as the other four go:



1. Mage (the theme of freedom and equity strongly resonates with me)

2. Human Noble

3. Dalish Elf

4. City Elf - the main I didn't like about it was that I felt it was pretty short of roleplaying possibilities, forcing the player too much down the path of vengeance. It's better if played on the female part, but on the male part I felt really little connection to the characters and I didn't like the "Braveheart" feeling of it.

Nay, I just saw: am I really the only one who liked the Magi Origin better? O_o

Worst: Dalish Elf

Breakdown...

I love the characters in the human noble origin. The banter between the family members really makes me feel how loving the Couslands are. I've rolled a ton of nobles, and I enjoy the origin every time. It's like home...which is what it's supposed to be, I guess, so kudos to BioWare.

I've played a female city elf and a male city elf, and I have to say the female has the better story. Yes, it does push you into a vengeance-type story line, but that works for me. And hearing the guard say "Oh, sod" when you get the sword...awesome. I also like the heroic feeling you can get so early on if you step up and take sole responsibility for the massacre at the palace.

I liked the mage origin as well; I've played it three times, now, and all have been different. Same ending, of course, but very different actions in the interior of the story that really coloured my character's background.

Dwarf origins were fun -- Gorim as a second to a female noble rocks -- but I'm not a fan of dwarves, so I doubt I'll play a dwarf character beyond the origin. I also love how this is one of the few origins where you actually encounter darkspawn on your own. Makes the lines in the Kocari Wilds about not being afraid all the better.

I recently did a Dalish Elf origin again, and I did talk to more members of the clan around the camp, but I still don't feel as connected to the origin as I did in the others. If they'd written in a stronger interaction with Tamlen, I think that would have helped, or if he'd been with you longer instead of disappearing in the middle of the origin. Something to get a stronger attachment to him.

All in all, every origin was well done. I wouldn't say any of them were "bad", just some appealed to me more than others.

[Inzhuna]

Hey, everyone seems to dislike Dalish origin, but i agree with Jadon92 - it gives you most background for roleplaying, you really get the feel for what your character is like. Plus it was the first origin I played, first DAO experience, so I cannot not like it.



I thought Magi was worst, too little choice in the matter plus recruitment into Wardens if you were acting on Irving's request seems realy silly. 'She went downstairs to a forbidden room!' Eh what?

[Ephemeral-Nights]

I've only played the mage and the human noble, but out of those two the mage is definitely better IMO.

[Carodej]

Best: all of them. I was pleasantly surprised that BW did such a great job on these. They are not at all equal, and their strong points are differnt from each other. But I think each in their own way were great.

[Spuro]

Best to Worst:
1. City Elf - immersive with emotion impact, especially the female PC story.
2. Dwarf Noble - honour, kinship, betrayal: what's not to like?
3. Human Noble - a good back story but the circumstances into joining the GWs a bit far'fetched imo.
4. Dwarf Commoner - Dust Town part felt lackluster, the Proving part sort of makes up for it though.
5. Dalish Elf - Directly relates the PC to the Darkspawn, but kind of boring overall, no real connection to characters/lore.
6. Magi - Nice to see the Magi Tower when it's normal but really let down in the plot department here.

Best: Human Noble. Yes it was short but it's my favorite. I feel it "glues" really well with the rest of the story. I'm also kinda biased towards humans in RPGs



Worst: Dalish Elf

[Addai]

I'm torn between Dalish and city elf female. Both are emotionally wrenching in their various ways, and gave me the most opportunity to roleplay creatively with the Ferelden world. My Dalish warden telling Cailan "I am no friend of yours, human lord"... for some reason, that line just made it for me! I also like the epic feeling of an elf leading the charge against the Archdemon. I usually call in the Dalish army at the end and it just seems poetic.



After that would be human noble. Similarly, the idea of a struggle between yourself and Howe for Ferelden's future has an epic feel. And a money line from that one: "This man murdered my family, I demand blood rights."



I haven't played the dwarf origins yet, however. Just not as into dwarven theme.

[Sandtigress]

I loved the Dalish origin. Maybe its because I set my female Dalish as having a romantic relationship with Tamlen ("Why are you here anyways?" "I wanted to spend time with you") and so increased the amount of emotional bonds with the people around me. But I thought the whole idea of a proud, nomadic elf forced to leave the only people she knew for a foreign land to save her life (she went willingly to do her duty and make her people proud) was very touching. And the camp battle scene/Haven was very emotional for me. Perhaps it all depends on how much you get into your character.



I have done three of the origins so far - female Dalish elf, female City elf, and male human mage, and find them all to be well done. My mage I have less of a "connection" with because I'm playing him rather opposite to my own personality, but still, I like that there are so many ways to do even a single origin. He's power-hungry, on the blood mage path, so he willingly helped Jowan, but it could easily be done as a reluctant friend, or a number of other things.





This game has far more replayability, to me, than anything I've tried before, and I am really enjoying it.

[AnniLau]

Dalish was the first one I started and, even with talking to people in camp, I got so bored that I stopped midway through and started a Mage. I eventually finished the origin, but it just wasn't interesting to me.

Funny, I felt similarly about the mage origin.  I have trouble getting through it.  Perhaps it's because it is depressing to think that the best friends you have in the tower are Jowan and Cullen. 

[Vansen Elamber]

The biggest dissappointment for me was the Dwarf commoner, which I am currently playing now. What bothered me most about it was that at first I tried it as a male, then I decided to see if as a female they would let me play as the male's sister Rica or perhaps even a friend of hers. But to have you running around with the same friend as the male commoner, leske, I could not see the sense in that at all....
