I don't think elves have freer options elsewhere. Human prejudice against them insurse it. In the codex and entries it says for city elves that more often, when they leave the alienage and start a business or whatever, it is not long before racist humans destroy it and drive them back to the alienage.
Just heard a conversation in Inquisition where a guy was shocked a dwarf worked with "them." When the dwarf tries to clarify what them is, it was all elves.
Went back to them and the human is saying you can't trust any elves, the dwarf says history says the opposite is true and the human says that the dwarf can't know anything of human and elven history since he's a dwarf.
Was an interesting conversation that really showcased cultural views while also being funny in how willfully ignorant the human was being.
The Dalish are the freest they could get. They wouldn't even have to worry about humans. Their only problem is they don't even know if it's real. Both Tabris and Fenris thought of it like some fantasy they couldn't attain.
But I think things are slowly changing with the Warden and Hawke..and later the inquisitor. It isn't just the Qunari trying to reform Thedas. It's us... in whatever we go about it. And now Solas is doing it too. Everyone is vying for the loyalty of the elves. It's like the main battleground of the series.
