Come for the bisexual French nuns, stay for the dialogue trees. Let's Play Dragon Age

I'm just going to point out that Dwarven Commoners aren't actually commoners. That would be like Smiths, or Miners, or Nug Wranglers. They're petty criminals at the bottom rung of the Dwarven Mafia. All you do in the Commoner origin is stab/punch/crush people.

Dwarven Nobles, however, have a dude they can make talk to merchants for them. There's also a lot of politics and backstabbing alongside the basic combat and fighting--and there's just as much if not more fighting.

Further, as a Dwarven Noble you have access to the flat out best piece of starting equipment when you leave on your way to the surface

It is also second only to the Human Noble Origin in later game story tie-ins.

As for awesomeness of each origin:

Dwarven Noble > Mage > Dwarven Commoner = City Elf = Human Noble > Dalish Elf.

Though I'm not sure on the tie ins later on so far as the Dalish go.

Whoever Greed ends up playing, the character must go for all available romances.

There's only one and everyone else in the party ignores it.
Your best friend who was lost in the Origins quest comes back later half-transformed into a Darkspawn when they attack the camp, he begs you to kill him, you kill him, everyone goes on with their life.

Female Dwarf Noble

Oh, also, Male Dwarven Nobles get one funny bit that possibly leads to a serious situation later that Females don't.

Female Dwarven Nobles, however, get something a bit similar and perhaps a bit more emotional, and they get it more immediately.

Some kinda mage. Let's go with elf, because I'm a fantasy racist and I hate elves. But there's one thing I hate more than elves. Dwarves. Goddamn fucking dwarves. Fuck dwarves.
That's why it has to be a mage. Could be human too, but no. Every idiot can be human. Speaking of humans. I fucking hate humans. So let's go with an elf mage.

Male Dwarven Noble

Yeah, if Voting is still on for this i would tell ya to pick Rogue. Survive by Stealing!!!!!

[Funka Genocide]

Male Dwarven Noble Fighter.

It is the best possible combination. He must have a man-beard and be flippant with the ladies. His axe shall rend the heavens!

(I've done all the beginnings and dwarf nobles own. Also, when Male Dwarven Noble wins, we should vote on beard style and color.)

[Flarecobra]

Male Dwarf Noble Rogue.

And must be named "Billy Mays."

And for some reason, when I first saw this, I thought he said "Nun Wranglers."

[Funka Genocide]

when I said fighter I meant warrior.
