I've heard city elf is the best origin. Any truth to this?
Yes, city Dalish is the best origin by far. Its probably the most compelling one for me. I also personally have a preference of the female route over the male route, simply because it felt more true to me.
I would rate the origins like this:
City Dalish - The one origin that hooks you easily, and deals with many subjects that will make you want to kill people. Which you get to do.
Dwarf Noble - This origin is just a step down but highly likable still. Though I played my main character like he was a prince who if he became king would sooner or later be assassinated because the Nobles don't like his ways.
Wild Dalish - Both Dalish origins are very well done. In all honesty, the only reason why this is a step down from the Dwarf Noble, is because it sorta goes emo every now and then, and we've got Alistair for that. And he's probably the best emo of any game.
Dwarf Commoner - This origin is pretty well done. Not much else to say because it was the last origin I played, and I'm not really recalling it, I'll need to play it again.
Human Noble - <_< Yeah, I said it should be the worst, so hold up before you lynch me. Human Noble is one of those ones that you could tell they cut back. You never actually see your Human ever do anything noblish. It also comes across as half finished, which considering they cut out the Human Commoner, this makes sense.
Mage - Ah, now I'll tell you why I put Human Noble over Mage. Because Mage has the most head fucked up thing in it. You need to spring a trap, but everyone and their fucking mother gets the shit kicked out of them, even though its 5 fucking Templars and supposedly the best Mage in the Circle (I'm assuming that's how you get to be First Enchanter). Even more so, the guys who were attacked farther away from you are in critical condition, but you, who are at point blank range, are TOTALLY FUCKING FINE! You should be DEAD. ...
that and being a mage totally sucks in this game due to friendly fire spells are nearly everything.
