What's the best race/class/background character to play in Dragon Age Origins?

There isnt necessarily a "best". Mages are fun to play, after that id say a Warrior. And Dwarf Noble was pretty good.What's the best race/class/background character to play in Dragon Age Origins?
Mages are the most versatile, and with the right specialization and skill setup can do sword and shield casting. Arcane Warrior is a ton of fun, but you don't get that spec until you unlock it at least once in the game.



I had a lot of fun as a human rogue though. I set up for dual wielding damage and went to town. The fun thing about DAO is that you got to experience most every class through your companions on a single play through. On a second play through I set up Wynne as a mage killer, and most magic users she could kill outright in the first round of battle. THAT was fun!What's the best race/class/background character to play in Dragon Age Origins?
Definitely my Human Noble Warrior. I just got so emotionally invested in her journey after all she went through in the beginning. Killing Howe was so elating! I was beaming for practically the rest of the day after wards. Plus you get the royal happily ever after with King Alistair ;).What's the best race/class/background character to play in Dragon Age Origins?
Mages provide the most "fun". But if you're talking about skills and all that stuff - they are all balanced/equal. I prefer Mages because you can do more stuff - a bunch of skills, spells, combos, etc.
Personal preference, really. I really enjoyed being a mage. :) good luck!
