The only ones I find... for lack of a better word... boring, are the human and magi origins. Plus, if you put me in the fade right off the bat, I'm just going to hate you, sorry. >.> That's how it works.
I like both Elf origins, but I guess I just prefer the Dalish because I like their lifestyle more. I hate seeing the environment and treatment of the city elves, although the origin story for it was really cool, and messed up... but the chance for revenge always makes it sweeter. XD I loved playing my city elf and revisiting... poor Alistair, I still remember his voice when he said "wait, you were married?" No Alistair, just engaged! for a very short period of time. I never thought it really mattered much.
