Which race/origin/class combination had the most interesting content available to them in your opinion?
A poll for this: Link
Character will almost certainly be a male
Human Noble for me, suits better. Because you there is Landsmeet ahead of you, and noble blends in better in this atmosphere imho.
Dalish Elf is nice too.
Warrior or rogue? ![]()
emmm... sword and shield warrior for me.
As for rogue - well melee rogue. Because in my experience two rogues, warrior and mage is the best party setup possible. Those hasted backstabs.
Rogue has more options avaliabe for him. Locked doors, chests, traps.
yeah my opinion is biased, because i don't like non humans.
Hm, tricky. If you're talking overall content and immersion, I'd have to say human noble. Your family is well known amongst the other Fereldan nobles, and there are plenty of occasions where this is mentioned in conversations. Also, nothing beats your personal feud with Arl Howe.
If we are talking origins, however, I'd have to say Dwarf commoner and female city Elf are the most enjoyable. Or rather, dramatic.
My favourite playthroughs, funnily enough, are still female human noble (rogue) & female human mage.
City elf female and dwarf commoner are my favorite origins. If I had to pick one favorite, I'd go with city elf because of her ties to Denerim.
Dwarf noble imho. Nice -almost Borgia-like- Origin story, you get to have children as a male and you get a best buddy that will give you a nice gameplay boost later on and you're really personnaly involved in the Orzammar storyline. It's also the longest Origin story.
Very satisfying.
I loved them all, but I think on the top of the list for me would be the Dalish elf (mage modded).
Followed by female human noble warrior.
Then female city elf rogue.
Dwarfs have good stories also. I enjoyed my commoner more than the noble.
The character I appreciate the most is a Human Mage, I played her even before they announce the Amell/Hawke relationship, and she is the Warden I import in DA2 (and my Hawke share her first name with my Warden's, since I thought it would be funny if we had to see both of them for God-knows-what in the game. Too bad the Inquisitor isn't of the Warden's family, it would be funny that three of the greatest characters in modern Thedas share some blood ^^) The fun point is I didn't knew much of the game when I started, and the first choice I made was a female Dalish rogue, which is the origin I appreciate the most.
In rough order of my favorites...
Mage -female
(Are you pro or anti Circle? - Flirting with Cullen. - Friendship or Duty?)
City Elf -female
(Rampage through the estate. - The King's face when you tell him what happened is priceless. - The troubles in the Elven Slum are personal.)
Dwarf Noble -male
(Kinslayer or Dupe? - Helping your child. - Blood or Honor?)
Human Noble -gender neutral
(Howe/Loghain becomes REALLY personal. - Landsmeet can end with you on the throne. - Barkspawn is actually yours.)
Female Human Rogue Noble.... cause I can be the queen and get married to Alistair
) *shameless*
My elf mage Trix votes for... well, elf mage! ![]()
I just started a play human noble playthrough again and I must say they really do a fantastic job with the family. Everyone is so endearing and funny and its impressive how fast they can build up an attachment and make you feel something when they all get slaughtered
Agreed, which is one of the reasons that Human Noble isn't at the top of my list, the Nephew especially tugs at my heartstrings too hard.

Next will probably be an elf mage with focus on lost magics and glory of his people. Arcane Warrior + Shapeshifter. He'll be against blood magic and generally well with the idea of the Circles.
And then it'll be my evil human female mage. Blood Mage + Shapeshifter/Spirit Healer (haven't decided yet) who hates the Circle and the Chantry. Morgana Amell ![]()

Tossup for me between Male Human Noble Sword and Shield and female elf mage Arcane Warrior/Shapeshifter. I've tried human mages but it just isn't the same.
Male human Warrior with 2hander. I chose the preset name of Aedan Cousland. To be honest, I ALWAYS loved the politics, noble intrigues in Origins. Especially when Arl Eamon starts the Landsmeet.
Also tried the female human noble. Took the Rogue the second playthrough.
My favorite Warden is an elf mage (because I prefer playing mages and I like playing an elf). But my favorite origin is the City Elf. I also really liked the Dalatian origin, and the dwarf noble one. The human noble felt a bit too much cliché for me.

Human mage because its easier to relate with having no parents or friends like the other origins. Similar to being sent to boarding school. Places like these always have one guy who constantly talks to you-Jowan.
Human Noble Warrior for all the reasons already given in this thread. Though I could go for Human Noble Rogue as well.
