Which of the 3 do you think is best for RP?

Tough one. I voted Origins, but only by a hair over Inquisition. There is just more room for head-canonning with the silent protagonist, in my opinion.

DA2. Hawke is everything i wanted in a character. 

Um, my warden displayed emotions. It's actually much more deep than all the other two instalments.
Human noble when meeting her father in The Gauntlet. Talking to Wynne you have various choices when describing how you feel about the current situation and the death of your family. You can be angry, dismissive or resigned to being a grey warden.

It's much much more complex. And the dialogue actually carries on on the subject for more than one dialogue choice. In DAI for instance, you are asked once about your family, has one dialogue choice to describe your relationship and the subject is dead and buried. And it's never digged deep, just barely scratched the surface of the matter.

In short, you have to headcanon the fuck out of DAI so you can feel more connected to your character because the game itself doesn't give you enough tools to do what.

My thoughts exactly!   

This.

For me, all i need is the ability to change their appearance to make me feel like the character is mine. I don't feel the need to have to make up a backstory, etc. I change their look and control their actions going foward. I don't care what they did before i got them.

Hmm, can't really decide between DAO and DAI - in DAO we have origins which could be seen as potentially limiting (but it also adds a lot to the story), whereas in DAI the clean-slate (sort of) beginning lets me create my own background (which nevertheless has no real impact on the gameplay later on, unless you're an elf).

On the other hand, the dialogue options in DAO were more varied and I missed them a lot in DAI.

It's very difficult to choose between DAO and DAI. The various Origins gave me a basis and background to build on, but there's something about the Inquisitor that I just keep on wanting to explore in different ways. The problem with DAI is that certain personalities aren't given any lines after Here Lies the Abyss. If you believed that it had been Andraste who threw you out of the rift at the start there were no dialogue options to cover your disabusement of that position. The character sort of lost something without that.

Agree. My canon Inquisitor was very devout (my Warden wasn't at all) and it bothers how the game doesn't really explore your PC's faith/change of faith/whatever more. It's like after a point, the game forgets about your character you just stand aside watching things unfold without your input.

Whilst the origins could be seen as limiting, they at least meant the writers followed through on your background. With my Dalish elf, when we got to Zathrian's clan, the storekeeper comments about your father (and Velanna recognised you in DAA). With my City elf, it was meaningful when we went back to investigate the alienage because I had a connection (and I totally surprised my companions with the revelation that I had been married). With my Cousland noble I spent much of the game wondering what had happened to Fergus, was irritated with Alistair for not being more sympathetic to my loss, and then right at the end at the celebrations, there was Fergus! I didn't complete my dwarf run through but I could see how different the whole Orzammar section would be for you if you are.   It made me feel I was really part of the world. 

The disappointing thing about DAI was the lack of referencing of your race and background. Much of the dialogue felt as if it had been written for a human Inquisitor and didn't feel right for other races (particularly Dorian's comments about your knowledge of what it is like to struggle in life with regard to slavery).   Playing an elf I could potentially mess up the War Table quest involving my clan and get them all killed but there was absolutely no acknowledgement of that in the game. At least in DA2 your LI/Aveline comes to comfort you on losing your mother. So whilst having a lack of background origin story left it more open for role playing, that was really all in your head and not reflected in the game.

I like playing mages but the choices available for spell schools have become increasingly less varied as we have progressed through games. The specialisations for all classes have become increasingly limited. I also dislike how the warrior can no longer use ranged weapons and the rogue is limited to just dual wielding daggers.  Nor is it possible to switch between daggers and bow once an enemy has been sighted, even if the other weapon type would be more appropriate.   I also liked how origins split the dialogue options between romance and general, so you didn't have to miss asking something just because you were worried you would miss out on the romance if you ignored the heart icon (This turned out to not be the case but I only discovered this after playing DAI for the first time and in fact for certain PCs like Solas you would miss out if you didn't take the heart icon). So on the basis of all these things I preferred Origins.

I also found it annoying in DAI that in order to find out about aspects of your companions' character you had to have both them and Cole in the party. I prefer being able to chat to the character and encourage them to talk to me willingly, rather than have some third party blurt out their secrets and then like as not miss them anyway because the moment they start talking a bear attacks us. For interaction between companions I liked DA2 because I could take them on a shopping trip around Kirkwall and hear them chatting without any danger of being interrupted. Then in DAI the one place we could have done this safely, Val Royeaux, they didn't talk.   Also in Origins you could even stop to chat about general subjects whilst out in the field if you wished, which was helpful to break up long journeys.   How I longed for that option in the Hissing Wastes! 

This is a problem for me as well. None of the specializations for my archer rogue really excited me over much, and of the three, the one that seemed the most overall useful/complementary to my preferred style of play was the assassin, which felt completely at odds with my Inquisitor's personality/POV. Like you said, it's not major, and if i'm so inclined could concoct a rationalisation for it, but still an annoying niggle.



On the topic, I also went with the Inquisitor mainly for the reasons stated above RE: the blanker canvas, and that allowing me to connect, create and imagine her on a level that I just didn't feel that strongly in the previous two games. I've never really been troubled by things like the paraphrase system or the voiced protagonist--I hear my own crap voice in my head 24/7; I'm happy to hear a better one come out of my character's facehole. ;p
