My first playthrough will be a Kossith mage and for my second I'll either be an Elven mage or a dwarf warrior.
I'm going Kossith first because....horns! And also because we've never been able to play as them ![]()

Welcome, new forumer. You should know that the race is officially "qunari" now.
As for me, dwarves are the best. They don't seem to be as hated by humans, elves, and qunari as those three hate each other.

I like Asians since they're often pretty hardworking, and that's how they would make the best inquisitor.
Ah too bad. I'm an Asian slacker. You wouldn't like me. ![]()
You want the type of Asians raised with Confucianism in their society (seriously).

Ah I see, yeah dwarves definitely have it best in terms of getting along with the other races, and it would be pretty interesting to see how choosing Bhelen as King has affected things in Orzammar and the rest of Thedas.

The WoG, we should point out, is that no Bioware Death Squads will prevent you from using "kossith" on the forums, but do not expect to ever see that word appear in the game, as it is only used by Hardcore Hipster Elitists .
P.S. forum convention treats lower-case q qunari and upper-case Q Qunari as something different (race vs. ethos), but also capitalization will not play any role in the game as well.
Good news: use the word ox-men and no jihadis will ever bother you, and your meaning is clear!
I'd always like to play as a human, but I like city elves cause I relate to them. But preferably I like mages since they remind me of x-men.
human first, i use them to learn the game then i will probably be an elf
Dalish elf mage, because we finally get the opportunity to play as one! I've wanted this option very much since DAO.
City Elf. They will be so much better at being the Inquisitor than any other race that they had to be removed from the game to make it fair for everyone else!

I'll defiantly pick a Human Warrior first. Humans are the most versatile and balanced of all the races, having no specific strengths but no great weaknesses either. They're the most charismatic of the four species as well, an important thing for an organization that's going to incorporate elements from all over and will end up saving the world from itself, and really aren't out of place in any environment.
A rouge would probably be the best class to go with it, being good at both close and far, but of the three classes rouge was probably my least favorite in origin/awakening/II, so Warrior is the next best choice. Don't get me wrong, my second character will definitely be a Dalish mage, and my third'll probably be a qunari rouge so I can try out the different styles and outlooks, but from what I know now, the Human's the guy to be.

Dwarf'll definitely be last on my list...I'm just not a big Dwarf fan, sorry ![]()

Well other than Qunari who may be weak to magic, none of the races have a weakness, Humans are natuarally moderately strong in Strength, Dexterity, Cunning, Magic. They are the only race that has a strength in cunning, but they also lack any willpower or Constitution so you could call that a weakness.
So humans are the smartest race, but are as physically squishy as elves compared to dwarves or (probably)Qunari. I cant fault them on Will as Elves are the only ones that get a bonus on Will (most likely).
Not to say that they aren't a great race to play, they are. And absolutely right being the most charismatic, something I really am happy about because they even did humans differently than usual fantasy rpgs.
Going simply by the old Origins stats:Humans make good warriors, rouge's, and mages. They don't make the best warriors or mages, but probably make the best rouges, and do well enough in the other two roles. Socially, humans are intelligent and charismatic, making them the ideal leader for a global organization that interaction with all of Thedas.
Elves make great mages, but their rouges and warriors are definitely the weakest. The Dalish also suffer from an isolation complex, rendering their social skills limited, coupled with the fact that most races look down on elves they make the second worst strategic choice. (that said I enjoy the Dalish and it makes a great different point of view)
Dwarfs are physically the strongest of the three (though probably fall below the Qunari) and make the best warriors and good rouges, but lack any magic at all. Like the elves, they tend to be isolationists, though not to the same degree so are more social than elves but less than humans.
Qunari are completely new to the game so I can't gauge their skill, I assume they'll make great warriors, good rouges, and probably decent mages but socially they're probably the worst choice to lead the Inquisitors as most of the world hates or fears them. (though that's not always a bad thing, just don't expect a lot of friends
)
That's what I meant by strengths and weaknesses, the humans defiantly have the edge in all those categories.
Human. This is humanity's time. The Elven Dales are a forgotten memory. The Dwarven Empire was shattered by the blight. The Qunari must be opposed. Humanity will take it's rightful place and ensure it's dominance.
hmm I can see what you mean, but the fact they can play all three, with a slight bonus I think makes them more variable for the player than the character. Being able to be warriors, rogues, and mages with a slight advantage I think is a gameplay variability. Also I dont think the issues involved so much are about being Rogues, or warriors, definitely mages so.
I mean Elves rights I think is a thing, as is ancient lore, then there is The chantry, Mage rights, Orlais politics, Grey Wardens,
Some of these things like Orlais and Grey wardens mean most of the races,
While the Chantry show mostly humans
On the other hand Mages are going to focus on Elves and humans.(never seen Qunari in a tower)
Elves Rights and Ancient Lore are an elf thing and probably there will be a dwarf and Qunari thing as well not above.
As Much as I love Dwarves they are the least involved, I mean even the Qunari can be mages to care about mage rights.
On the other hand, Elves seem the most involved with the plot, and humans moderately so. That said, I do think Humans are a great route due to their charisma, and as the most powerful race in Thedas in terms of land and social power which can definitely be used for the Inquisition.
It's hard to say what role the story will fall into. We know the humans and elves both have a vested interest in settling the mage/Templar conflict though as few Dalish are taken to the circle it'll be more of a human and city elf issue (which we don't play as), all 4 races have an interest in sealing the void, though how each race will react to it might be different after all Humans see the Veil as where demons are held back by the Makers Veil. The Dalish see it as the spirit realm and where their gods are trapped. Dwarfs care very little of the Veil and probably see it more as an deadly inconvenience that it's open, and I'm not well versed on the Qun enough to guess but I'm guessing they aren't thrilled with all the "contaminates" zooming around.
I'm pretty sure that whatever "greater evil" is acting behind the scenes will be causing tons of trouble for all 4 races as well, though as humans are the most numerous we'll experience mostly human issues, followed by elven.
All in all, all races will have a part to play in the Inquisition, but I'm still banking on the Human to be the man to be. ![]()

you will submit
I think Humans will have the most...mm, let's say reasons, to lead the Inquisition, what with the Chantry's destruction, the Mage-Templar War, Orlais and Ferelden apparently preparing to go to war...However, I think Qunari will be the most interesting and challenging to play--as a Tal'Vashoth, you're an outcast among your own race, and as a Qunari/Kossith, you'll likely be regarded with deep suspicion by everyone else. This will be made a thousand times worse if you're a mage as well.
Yeah, yeah, human supremacists, keep dreaming. Your time in the sun ... until the Fex come along, rediscover their ancient elixirs of invulnerability and immortality, and take over the world.
All your base are belong to them. You just don't know it yet. I, for one, will welcome our new Fex overlords.
The fact that we have no idea what they look like has made their plans for conquest all the more sneaky. For all you know, they're already here! ![]()
My favorite race is a toss-up between Elves and Qunari, however, I think my Lady Qunari will make the best Inquisitor in all of Thedosian history... because it's a Lady Qunari, duh? No, but seriously, I just think she's better built and equipped to handle this in a more progressive way than any other race.
The girl from the race that's the most conservative of all is best suited to lead the world into a more progressive way? Well, I suppose stranger things have happened.

She's not part of the Qun though, so I mean..
also, it's my canon and opinion ![]()
Qunari ladies over everything
Lol, it's fine, just poking fun ![]()
Like I said earlier Qun rouge's 3rd on my list, Dalish mage is 2nd, and Human warrior's up first, all male as I just can't really play a female character in RPG's. ![]()
