Warriors seem to be lagging behind in popularity. I sure hope that if there ever is another DA game that the person designing abilities makes them a lot more fun I think DAI made progress on the Warrior front, but clearly it's not easy competing with the even more fun Mages & Rogues. That said, I definitely enjoyed the Reaver spec (as a PC, a little too micromanage-y for Bull). The fact that it's also the most blatantly "magical" Warrior spec probably says something too... More hybrid classes (Warrior-Mage/Warrior-Rogue) to the rescue? If there ever were another DA game, it certainly would be encouraging to hear that someone out there was looking to make them "a lot more fun". Hmm, I suddenly have an idea for a new thread...

I prefer playing as a rogue 95% of the time.

Rogue... just for case that I might kill all rogue companions (yeah, well, it happened once in Origins ).

Older thread, but golden topic, so let's do it.
Mage. Warrior a good second. Not knocking Rogue, just not my style.
My very first Dragon Age Origins playthrough (and first ever Dragon Age playthrough at that) I picked Warrior. I got all the way to the final battle in Denerim... And I couldn't finish. Something felt "off". Not wrong, just off. I deleted the save and started a new game as a mage.
Best decision ever!
I think a mage has a better connection to the lore, and I like how they can avoid being "squishy" if you so choose.
Defensive casters are my favorite type of character/build to play, and the Mage in Dragon Age delivers.

Pretty much always rogue. In the first two games went always with the two handed and in DAI always an archer, I like being able to move around a lot during combat, easier to keep an eye on things. I've done a couple of warriors and for once in DAI actually liked being one. Mages have never been my cup of tea so much.

Mage for me but I do enjoy playing rogues a lot too. Warriors are probably my least favourite although I do enjoy them on DAO and DA2 but on DAI I find them a tad boring. Because other than being harder to take down due to guard I don't find them that special.

Hilariously, while Mage is probably my favorite class, the class I've actually played most often (all the way through) is Warrior. Haven't even finished a Rogue playthrough in DAI yet.

Something felt "off". Not wrong, just off. I deleted the save and started a new game as a mage. Huh, I was exactly the opposite, something just felt off about that mage. Rerolled as a Human Noble Two-Handed Warrior and steamrolled through the game. Weird.

In DAO my favourite origin is the Circle Mage, but right after, the human noble. The Circle Mage connects to the Southern-world lore, but the human noble connects to Loghain/Howe better, and can take the throne.

I don't really have a class I play the most, because I haven't done many pts in the first place.
But my favorite one is warrior. It feels more... traditionally heroic, and I love the bulky armor.

Rogues are usually my first choice but since I've gone back to playing DAI after a long break, I seem to be favoring mages. I've never been a fan of warriors, although I have played them. I just don't enjoy it that much. Unless of course it's an Arcane Warrior or KE.

DA:O - Warrior/Rogue. I hate the robes the mages have to wear. I prefer my mages to look combat ready, not library ready.
DA2 - Mage/Rogue. The playstyle became so much more fun in DA2 than it was in DA:O. And more fun than warrior.
DAI - Mage. Basically just an extension of what I did in DA2. Mage is just so much more fun and gets the best/most fun powers. Though I do always do a warrior playthrough for Templar, because even if the powers aren't that fun, I enjoy the templars lore and find them super cool. haha

I think, rogue is still my most played class. I have two mages atm - in DAO and DAI, but I also have a rogue Hawke, a rogue Cadash and a rogue Trevelyan, that I'm still playing. I never developed a taste for warriors, tried once or twice in every game, but never made it far

DAO: Rogue, then Mage purely because of Shapeshifting
DA2: Rogue & Warrior
DAI: Mage, mage, mage and mage. Did I say mage? LASER SABER!
