Cool cool cool. Well I stick with city elf, then I would say dwarven noble. It is much more GoT noble than bland generic medieval fantasy noble that the Couslands are. Don't get me started with "pup." BUT TBH I prefer Trevelyan to the others in DAI. I liked that there was a little background depending on mage or fighter/rogue and to me it fits best in the narrative. Points to Lavellan for having the best war table sequence, but then IMO all Inquisitors should have been able to play through that since it involves the politics of Wycome. Inquisitors have meddled in local politics even if their family wasn't personally involved. I have no problems with dwarves and Qunari as backgrounds but didn't care for the underdeveloped ones in DAI. I think I would have preferred that there be a few backgrounds to choose from, regardless of race, and then a few race specific. Like, we could choose smuggler or mercenary and then decide what race we are. I wanted to be able to play a dwarf who wasn't a smuggler or a human who wasn't a noble. I'd really love to be able to play a human that isn't nobility in DA for once. Even the Amell mage origin turned out to be secretly noble (you learn in DA2) I really love your idea of choosing a background and then race, that would be so ideal. My current Inquisitor (on hold while I play fo4 again) is a Lavellan and my headcanon is that he had been working with lyrium smugglers before being sent to the conclave by his Keeper. I still haven't voted in the poll here, though. In DA:O, I'm torn between mage (human) and Dalish. In Inquisition, I preferred Trevelyan as well, just because the whole lot centered so heavily on human institutions like the Chantry, and gave very little room for an Inquisitor who might be inclined to subvert those institutions. This is what I'm afraid will happen in DA4. Well, afraid is too strong, more like resigned that it will happen and will ignore implications... IMO being the Inquisitor truly only works if a human. Realistically most people would not suddenly get over institutionalized racism (and possibly fear of mages) to follow someone, even a Messianic figure. But then this is Bioware, where Celene and Briala can reunite and Orlesian nobility suddenly are okay with an elf becoming the empresses' lover and raised to nobility after centuries of persecuting and distrusting elves. And Divine Leliana is able to enact extreme social and religious reforms over her reign rather than inch toward progress over several generations of Divines. |

Voted for Qunari as I really enjoyed it in DA:I, would love to see Qunari stories fleshed out a little more. Otherwise I do rather like mage playthroughs, especially circle mages. My Amell was a lot more rebellious and fuck the system than my mage Trevelyan however.

I'm pretty surprised that human noble is leading, given that most people on forums are about the non-human races.
I picked human noble, but mainly because we haven't had a human commoner* (regardless of how DA2 starts, you are still nobility by blood, and have the monies [and then a title!] to back it up for 2/3 of the game). I just prefer human. I need to have something to anchor me to the character so I can RP with some understanding. With these games, it happens to be race.
* That said, if given the chance, I sure as hell will play a human altus in Tevinter. I really want to experience that, especially if I can be a soporati altus.

Seeing "Go soak your head" option in human noble origin...oh how I wish The Warden was voiced. Or "Men are overrated". Or telling mother Mallol you don't see the point in praying. (No, I totally didn't make an attempt at RPing Chloe Price as human noble ) Now that I think about it, playing human noble origin as female is quite fun  (I just wish I could be an elf in it  ) |

Kudos to the seven people who voted for dwarves. May you always find your way in the dark.  |

I woulda ate that shit up. I'm jealous of Sky Watcher's existence! |

Voted human noble. Mostly because the mod for Sir Gilmore who made him into an amazing character. Also Dairren too. The whole thing was pretty good, including the parents, the relationships and ultimately the tragedy of it all.
Eh, the origins were really good. I enjoyed all of them to some degree. Back when Bioware cared about actual story and quality not just money.

I like human noble line, this tragic night, and finally the satisfaction to becoming prince consort... and Loghain as the father in law was fun, later in Awakening Nathaniel Howe was even better than with elf mage, but the Circle Mage origin just touched more. Perhaps because this was the first pt. I heard, Ser Gilmore is great. This works only with noble? |

Gilmore can be a companion and love interest with any Warden, he just has extra stuff for Cousland since they have history together. And he's wonderful and better than any of the vanilla romances, in my opinion. |

What @disgustednoise said  I also used some few other mods to alter his original appearance... let me see if I can remember/find them... Ser Gilmore companion modHandsome Ser Gilmore modSer Gilmore first night modWhite teeth modI don't think I used other mods. Of course the problem is mods tend to bug the game pretty badly and oftenly... but Rory is worth it  |
