The majority of origins seem to come with racial and class restrictions. I'm wondering if those have been dropped for the Orlesian Warden origin.

I'm expecting the Orlesian Warden to be human, and you would assume all human restrictions to go with that.
I'll be surprised if any other race will be able to be the Orlesian Warden.

Why is that? There are more elves in Orlais than Ferelden.

Because a well trained elven servant is a highly valued pet and no self-respecting Orlesian noble would allow one to be conscripted

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if any race class combo would be allowed under the new origin. just because you're Orlesian doesn't automaticly mean you're human or say a chevalier as opposed to a pick-pocket or mage.

True, but we've only seen human Wardens in Ferelden so far.

I wouldn't be surprised to only see human Wardens in Orlais as well.

I'm not saying that there won't....

Huh... We've seen human wardens, elven wardens and dwarven wardens. As well as mage wardens. With Dragon Age it's not as if you are playing Random Dude 23, you actually have a last name, which means you are, previously to your own control on a set course of determination which leads you down a path to where it diverges. So it wouldn't be as if Bioware couldn't have your elven Orlesian be a special case, any more than your dwarf Orlesian or human Orlesian.

I'm thinking there probably won't be any race restriction. As much as I am looking forward to playing one, it seems like this Warden will sort of be the catch-all Warden for those players not continuing their characters. Enough backstory to fit for all races, perhaps one or two race-specific lines. class I am not so certain about. Fighter and rogue, definitely, but how does Chantry treat mages in Orlais? Would there be a plausible reason for a mage to be near enough to a Warden to get conscripted?

I'm still leaning on the side of no restrictions so far as race/class goes. It wouldn't seem very smart to me to limit the options on an origin many players will likely need to take.

Edit: Mordaedil says it better.

I doubt there's going to be a class restriction - if someone sacrificed their mage to the Archdemon, it seems mean not to let them create another one to replace her.



A race restriction would actually be less unfair from a gameplay perspective. Since all Orlesian wardens must have broadly similar backstories for this to work, race may make less difference than it does in Origins.

what about a Qunari grey warden?

[Maria Caliban]

That would be neat.



Unlikely, but neat.

i know its unlikely, but it could happen.
and why not?
they are great warriors, and Sten said there are Qunari mages, and its unlikely there isn't a Qunari Rogue, its highly unlikely that there was never at least ONE qunari grey warden.

You have to remember that prior to the battle at Ostagar, the Wardens had only recently been re-instated in Ferelden and were of small numbers. Whereas the Wardens are well-established and highly respected in Orlais. Just because Duncan, Alistair, Jory, and Daveth are all human doesn't mean all Wardens are human. It makes perfect sense that the Orlesian Wardens would recruit elves and even surface dwarves living in Orlais into their ranks as well if they are qualified.

Good point....

The fact that your character is Orlesian will probably be the focus of any changes in story/dialogue, as opposed to your being elf/dwarf/male/mage whatever.

Agreed. On an unrelated note, I wonder if the Orlesian Grey Warden's voice will contain the same accent as Leliana?
