Best Races in Dragon Age II

Dragon Age II will feature a greater difference between races, meaning elves, dwarves and qunari are being reviewed and redesigned.


and now, What is the best class in Dragon Age II ???


Dragon Age II Humans Guide

Humans are the most numerous, yet also the most contentious of all the intelligent races of Thedas. Only four times have they ever united beneath a single banner, the last being centuries ago. The monotheistic faith of the Chantry plays a major role in human society.

Humans are able to play all three classes, warrior, rogue and mage, and a human Warden can select either the Human Noble or Mage origin.

Racial benefits of Humans: +1 strength, +1 dexterity, +1 magic, +1 cunning.


Dragon Age II Elves Guide

A humanoid race, elves typically stand four inches shorter than their human companions and have a slender, lithe build and pointed ears. In Ferelden, and many other parts of Thedas, elves are second-class citizens, often referred to by humans as 'knife ears' as a racial slur.

Racial benefits of elves: +2 Willpower, +2 magic

Dragon Age II Dwarves Guide

Dwarves are one of the main humanoid races of the Dragon Age setting, and one of the three playable races in Dragon Age: Origins. They are a race in decline, once boasting an underground kingdom spanning much of Thedas, but devastated during the First Blight and still losing both lives and territory to the darkspawn every day. In the dwarven language, they refer to themselves as the dwarva.

Dwarves have an innate resistance to magic, preventing them from becoming mages; dwarven characters can still be either warriors or rogues, however.

Racial benefits: +1 strength, +1 dexterity, +2 constitution, 10% chance to resist hostile magic.


Dragon Age II Qunari Guide

Qunari are identified as a large humanoid race hailing from the island nations of Par Vollen and Seheron in northern Thedas. They have bronze-hued skin, white hair, pointed ears, and vivid eyes with colors like violet, red, or yellow. Qunari are considered physically more robust than humans.

In Dragon Age II, it is revealed that most qunari have horns. Some are born without them, but it is not considered a defect—on the contrary, those born without horns are considered special, as they are meant for a special role in qunari society such as a Ben-Hassrath or an envoy to the other races. Sten, as a soldier of the Beresaad, falls into this category. It is not uncommon for qunari who betray their beliefs to remove their own horns (as in the case of Armaas), though the reason for this act is not yet clear.
