[Inhuman one]

For my first game I started with the human noble origin since usually my characters are human and swordfighters of some sort and this is the only option available then.

I must say this origin story is terrible. why? allow me to explain.

First of all, you are wearing armor and weapons at the start. why? it makes no sense. It looks rather shoddy for a noble son as well. I think it would have done a lot for immersion if you would start with either some fine clothes or an armor that looks suited for a nobleman while it still has the same low status.

Second, Duncan has an interest in you while you never did anything to deserve that interest as far as I can tell. Never fought a battle or have proven yourself.

third, the "surprise attack in which relatives, close allies, etc are killed" Sorry but this has been done in every single Bioware game. Try something different for a change. I certainly hope not all origins are like this. I already saw it coming, I was merely wondering who would survive and who would die. That only the player and morgan would survive was quite predictable as well since others didnt seem needed for the story.

fourth, why does your family insult you by calling you, an adult, pup? cant they just call you son/daughter or something like that? This certainly was a good way for me to not feel any attachement to the family.

fifth, no chance is given for you to care about the castle, its surroundings or anyone in it. I kind of liked the brother and his little family, but this is the place you grew up. cant we at least get a glance at the surroundings from the castle walls? to see what the land is like where our character grew up in?

sixth, your character's mother wears some crappy and overly revealing armor for her age and noble status during the attack. If she is used to fighting, wouldnt she have aquired something more impressive over the years? maybe something with a long skirt sort of what Duncan wears but  a female version? Would have been far more suitable.

Thats all I have to say about the origin, furthermore I must say I am very disappointed with the combat. I expected finishing moves and dismemberment but it was not there.

Still the game is enjoyable, and it might pick up later on but I just had to vent this, I simply expect better from Bioware writers. This origin only served as an immersion killer for me.

I am at the point that Morrigan just joined me, so please no spoilers beyond that point or about other origins. If there are origins that do not have this cliche surprise attack in which almost everyone you are supposed to care about dies its alright to mention there is such an origin, but dont say which one. I rather find that out myself.

From everything I have seen and read the human noble is the weakist of the origen stories, hell even Bioware has admited that.

Err... no we didn't. You'll find a lot of people that enjoyed the human noble origin very much, thank you (there's even a thread on this very page, in fact: http://social.biowar...47/index/118121). In my experience everyone has different favorites amongst the origins, for different reasons. Sorry the OP didn't get one that struck his fancy on his first try.
