What do?

Stop playing a Bioware game and move on to something better.

>>376041552
First of all, don't make a woman. I know Bioware claims that Daelish Female is the "canon" path for DA:O, but anyone who has actually played it knows that's not true.

Male dwarf noble or male human noble. They have the best storylines that actually impact the main story. Female city elf is also good, but no lasting impact.

>>376041552
Male human noble w/e is the patrician playthrough.

>>376041552
if you want to romance Allistar to completion, you gotta be female noble. I had fun doing the elf origin stories though

Old Bioware games were the pinnacle of RPGs.

>>376041743
I agree with Male Human Noble, it had the most impact on the general storyline.

>>376041994

adjective
1.
belonging to or characteristic of the aristocracy.

Don't know about framerates or whatever, but if you can live without these, not really

Play Dalish Female. It's the canon.

Complete the romance stories with Morrigan, Leliana, Zevran, and Alistair. For Morrigan, your character needs to be male. For Alistair, your character needs to be female. For Leliana and Zevran, your character can be either male or female. When you reach a certain level (track your progress with the meter below their Character Record), you will slowly approach the end of the romance. You need to get the meter as high as possible (Leliana for example is close to maxed out, Zevran doesn't take nearly as much). You'll do a quest for them, then share a kiss, and then...

For an easy way to gain points with them, go into your inventory, and scroll over to the "Other" list. Anything that says "Gift" in purple can be given to any potential romantic interest. Just use RB But to scroll over to the character you're interested in, highlight which item you're going to give her, and press A Button to give it to him. The best items vary from character to character. See First Knight, Witch Gone Wild, Easy Lover, and Wine, Woman, and Song for more details.

You'll probably need two playthroughs for this, but it may be possible to do this in one. If you have a high enough affection with each of the four, have been romantic with at least one of them, none of them are jealous, and have a high enough coercion talent and cunning ability, then you may be able to pull off a foursome with Isabella in The Pearl in Denerim.

>>376041960

Yeah but your character is probably straight?

Unless you view yourself as your character

In which case why are you playing female?

Unless you think yourself as trans?

Or maybe your character is not you personally?

Really makse you think.

That depends. Do you view yourself as your character, or do you just like the idea of a female heroine that munches carpet?

>2 genders

This is literally a Neo-Nazi game.

>>376044940
I like the idea of a gorgeous, sexy and skilled female warrior. Honestly the lesbian bit is both because picking dialogue options while romancing a man makes me feel weird, and because male romantic options in vidya are always "dark evil man with tragic backstory aka bad boy" or "super white knight".

Female romantic options are always much better.

>>376045242

Yes I like the same. Some people seem unable to view their character as anything other than an extension of themselves however. Their loss, I guess.

>>376045242
Yeah but in Dragon Age you can become Alistair's queen which is arguably the best ending

Play rogue female for cute armor.

Played a few saves like that and it was fun sneaking around and initiating fights.

I also played through as a big strong bald warrior female. Just played it like an evil asshole the whole game and Alistar hated me but Morrigan loved me for my actions. Worked out perfectly. Evil playthroughs just to get Morrigans approval is the best.

>>376045347
I do also enjoy roleplaying a seductive girl though. I guess that's my tiny mental issue.

>>376045361
Sure but I feel weird while replying to Alistair's I love yous and shit.
Only game I actually ended and romanced a male was DAI because Josephine and the gay goblin both suck, and also Cullen is hot. No homo.

>>376046496

>>376046840
It's worth playing as a female elf mage romancing Solas. The game's okay, if you can stop being a completionist autist trying to get 200 collectibles and just do the parts that interest you. Lots of roleplaying.

Romancing Solas is for story purposes. Being an elven female mage should have been the only playable option. I can't tell you more without spoiling everything.

>>376042519
Oblivion is the greatest general RPG ever made so no.
That said Origins is one of modern Bioware's better games so you may as well play it. Same sort of style as Baldur's Gate (party-turn based isometric combat) but more mobile.

>>376046519
The worst part is how completely different your characters always look in-game compared to the creator, and the hair is garbage of course.

You can make some kind of cute inquisitors, though they always end up looking slightly odd, particularly with the facial animations, not exactly Tera beautiful.

A few tips:
>If you dislike a certain companion, just don't recruit them. You lose nothing by kicking out Sera or the lore-destroying Iron Bull.
>Mod your game if on PC. Must haves are more banter, quicker looting, search radius increased, war table no waiting
>Try not to piss of Solas, you WILL lock out of romance if his approval is too low, fucking up your entire game. He approves of helping the poor, the mages, and being curious (asking him scientific/mage questions and not being judgmental)
>Rogue companions are annoying. Varric is useless, never take. Cole and Sera are high dps, but their banter annoys me. Whoever you choose, keep them with a bow because as melee they die quickly and never backstab
>Best party banter: Blackwall, Cass, Varric, Dorian, Solas, Viv. Ideal party as mage would be Blackwall/Cass tank + Cole/Sera bow + Dorian/Solas support + you knight enchanter
>Spend first 4 perks on arcane/noble/underground/history knowledge

The one thing you have to remember: you don't NEED to do anything you're not liking. If you see a quest that has "touch 5 things", ignore it. Stop collecting shitty ubisoft shards thinking this is what the game is.

If you must boil it down to one sentence sure, but the lore, world and history surrounding it was much more elaborate and well-thought than you'd get in any typical ancient evil awakens game.

At least that's what made it special for me, how just about everything from the maker to the fade, the chantry, demons, darkspawn, wardens, magic, circle etc. had a reason for being there and could be connected to each other in some way.
