Dwarves! Dwarves are my favorite fantasy race, and I definitely enjoy the Dragon Age take on the race. If the Dragon Age series makes it to six games, I plan on having four canon heroes be dwarves! I like dwarves,in fantasy they always end up in trouble because of the greed of gold.

About 98% of the time i play as a human. 99% in my case i started a couple of elves but i can't get them to look they way i'd like so they get on my nerves and i revert to human. haven't played in months though, i should put in a run before getting sucked into the Andromeda galaxy. The only time i wasn't a human, i was a dwarf. The only reason she gets 2% is because she ended up being my canon Inquisitor.

I mostly play elves because I can relate with them and their plight is the same as ours.

Humans. Usually either warrior or mage female humans though I do occasionally make an elf character to experience differences in dialogue.
My canon worldstate has Elizabeth Amell, spirit healer and shapeshifter. Succeeded by Sophie Hawke, sword/shield warrior berserker. And finally Natasha Trevelyan, rift mage.
Another worldstate that has a female Cousland, female mage Hawke and female mage Inquisitor.
But I do have a male Amell Warden, female mage Hawke and a female Dalish Inquisitor. (This is so I could experience Kieran's existance, drink from the well and see how DAI dialogue changes in response to being an elf Inquisitor.)
Finally, a female City Elf Warden, female mage Hawke and female warrior human Inquisitor though this worldstate is a work-in-progress.

Dwarves, by far. I only picked up DA:O when I saw dwarves were playable. They weren't the traditional fantasy dwarves I was accustomed to, but I was intrigued by their caste system and their once glorious empire that is now in ruins. It pains me to see dwarves turning on each other like that when there are so few left underground with no relief in sight coming from the other races on the surface. Their political shortcomings makes them wonderfully flawed so I really like that about them. Every time I did the archdemon fight in DAO, I'd save Kardol and the dwarves for last. They went through the trouble to leave their underground home to help the surfacers fight -- might as well make it really worth it and give them the best battle of all.
Even though elves and humans have taken the main stage in the franchise so far, I really do feel there's more to the dwarves that we just aren't seeing yet. I haven't played a qunari yet (lack of time), but I do appreciate their inclusion as a playable character so we can experience Thedas from their perspective.
I would say elves are the least played race for me. I've played them in the past in DA and other games. I don't groove with them the way I do with dwarves. Nothing wrong with that, different strokes and all. I do live vicariously through others who play elves and blog about their joy doing so. That kind of passion is something to strive for in what we play. It does suck when I see people suggest that Dragon Age should cater to humans and elves only though. Please don't do that. We're all on the same team here.

It'd be interesting to see these results if all three games (plus Awakening) had four playable races. I imagine the results are a bit skewed depending on whether people are just counting their DAI playthroughs or the franchise as a whole.

Humans and Elves for the most part. I was fond of Dwarves in DA:O, but beyond that I haven't played them since. yeah me too most of mine have been humans or elves pretty equal though between those 2 so far I think I've only played 1 qunari male mage and 1 dwarf female rogue

To be honest, it's a bit hard for me to select an option. I love all of the races and their respective cultures. I like playing and roleplaying characters from the different races.
I have, however, selected the Elf option in the poll because if the option is present then I know I'll be making and playing an elf for my first playthrough in the next game.

I've def played more as an elf. Though I have my saga set up to where I have a Dwarf as my Warden, Human as Hawke(duh), Elf as Inquisitor and hoping Qunari is playable in the next game so I can spread them out evenly.

DAO - female / male warriors; complete PTs. Starters for background, no complete PT; dwarf / elf.
Latest tally for DAI.
Over 20 female human warriors, 2 human male warriors; greatswords. 2 female elven archer rogues.
No plans for either dwarf and qunari.

I voted that you can't make me pick. I'll probably end up playing elves and humans about evenly with dwarves close behindm I will admit to having only one play through planned for a Qunari. It suffers from not enough in game support. Height, dialogue, an Origin story that helps me understand them.

Mostly human.. then qunari due to point-of-view thing, partially for the alien-ish look. Still need better beards though.

I did the 'you can't make me choose' option, though if there were better hair options for Qunari, they would absolutely be my most-played race. Elves are a runner-up.

title. I'm curious and stuff. Elves. Generally speaking, I've found them interesting ever since Record of Lodoss War (particularly dark elves). As for Dragon Age, while I did find the origin story of the dwarven protagonist to be a lot of fun (and I found the origin story of the human noble to be rather boring), I played as the Surana Warden, an atheist Libertarian. My interest in the Dalish mostly came from Addai's story " The Wolf at the Edge of Camp" that added some Fremen elements to the Dalish clans (I felt that Mahariel became an elven kwitzach haderach in the story, and such a concept always stuck with me when it came to the possibility of playing as one of the People).

I've always had altitis when it comes to RPGs, so I have a few : Aedan Cousland, male human warrior Elissa Cousland, female human rogue Solona Amell, female human mage Duran Aeducan, male dwarf rogue Serada Aeducan, female dwarf rogue Helga Brosca, female dwarf rogue Jerrick Mahariel, male elf warrior Kalian Tabris, female elf warrior Auron Surana, male elf mage I tried a human mage Orlesian Warden in Awakenings once, but it wasn't different enough from the Hero of Ferelden for my tastes, and soon lost interest. Yeah, all the Hawkes are human, but I'll count them anyway: Garret Hawke, male warrior Marion Hawke, female mage Harry Hawke, male mage Xena Hawke, female rogue Davon Trevalyen, male human rogue Evelyn Trevalyen, female human mage Mahanon Lavellan, male elf warrior Neylanna Lavellan, female elf mage Malika Cadash, female dwarf rogue Vorda Adaar, male qunari mage Oona Adaar, female qunari warrior For Origins, in terms of story and connection, my favorites were the Mages and City Elves. I'm s sucker for the underdog, and how the Fade played out kind of reminded me of Planescape: Torment, IMHO one of the greatest Western RPGs of all time. The Human Noble story had a slight Game of Thrones feel; good, but not great. Even though I usually find fantasy Dwarves bland, my favorite Origin to play through was the Dwarven Noble; with all the multiple options with political and family double dealings, Proving Fights and the Deep Roads, it easily had the most replay value for me. The Castless was good too, but not as varied. Least favorite was the Dalish Origin; the old "Wood Elf" trope was boring and cliché, the characters flat, and all conflict was external. Worst, it was just too short. From a racial standpoint, none of the Inquisitors really stood out to me. I know it was because bringing back multiple race oprions was a late addition, but there just weren't enough dialogue variants for me to favor one over the other. I will say that the new Elf models look too damn skinny, especially when I wanted to make a proper warrior.

Humans nigh all time, the other races just to see dialogue changes or to use for body variation, if the CC did body scales i doubt i'd swap out from human unless race changed the story/dialogue
