What class and race should i pick for dragon age origins?

on dragon age origins i started playing as a human warrior but i dont like him because i skipped the chin and the preset one is massive and i cant stop noticing it and im still not sure what to role because i could not open a tone of chests and the spells on mage and staffs look really cool but then i dont want to dye in an instant at the start plus it took me ages 2 hours to do the bit up to taking morrigon to the village what should i do?What class and race should i pick for dragon age origins?
What I suggest:



Human / Dwarf Berserker/Templar 2h Warrior

Human / Dwarf Berserker/Templar Duel Wielding Warrior ( kinda the same as a warrior except more focused into Strength and has great armour, like Duncan :P )

Human Blood Mage Mage

Human Arcane Warrior Mage

Elf Ranger Rogue

Elf Assassin Rogue



The ones I listed above proved to me to be really awesome! My favorite of them all at the moment is Berserker/Templar 2h Warrior :D.



Mage is kewl too, i enjoy doing AOE damage and blood magic.



If you make a rogue, make sure he's a back stabbing rogue.What class and race should i pick for dragon age origins?
Mages aren't built like toilet paper in Dragon Age, which is a relief to me because on some quests your whole party will go down and you can actually finish off the enemies, with the help of health poultices. I would personally go with a mage because that's my favorite character so far, but if you do wanna be able to open everything you'd have to pick a rogue. From the amount of time I played on my rogue most chests don't contain anything worth just picking that whole class for. I love this game and would go with whatever class you want to use.What class and race should i pick for dragon age origins?
Mages are fun. As long as you stay out of the way and bring a tank with you, you won't die easily. You need to be a rogue if you want to open chests, though if you bring Leilana with you she can take care of most of them.



Maybe read some guides and see if that helps you decide. Or play on easy mode until you get a larger variety of party members.
