No you weren't. Every character practically had two origins.. the beginning and then Ostagar. And you were a mere soldier who survived that. Not some chosen one. And you got nowhere except for Flemeth. Even down to her telling how the battle plan was laid out.
The story arc for the Warden essentially went 'ok, you look like you can do something tough, here, now you are a Grey Warden.' Which granted is kinda their schtick but it makes for a ****** poor character arc and essentially meant you were chosen regardless of the skills you had or did not have.
Now consider DA I. The Inquisitor had to prove themselves, twice, in the first like 3 campaign missions of the main game. THey were initially going to be executed by Cassandra and the Chantry who believed you guilty of destroying the Conclave until you proved them wrong. And then through your trials throughout the course of the main game they eventually decided to make you Inquisitor. Proving yourself by bringint the Templars/ Mages into the fold and then proving yourself again by personally standing up to Corypheus. besides, especially in the early part of the game, the 'Chosen One' narrative was more the Inquisition playig it up for political purposes. The player character had a choice on whether or not they believed it, which even informed how the Inquisition treated you.
