I've watched someone else play the Dalish origin but still haven't run it myself; it looks very neat, though. And I love me some Brecilian Forest. I really do love the concept behind them (hell, I love the concept behind the elves all over Thedas, city and Dalish alike; but I have this problem where I love everything about this game.)
Newcomer-bonding yay! Also, being an elf, he's not quite as tall as the humans--and thus slightly less weird. ... Because she does care, really. Craning your neck all the time to talk to everyone probably gets kind of annoying and painful.
