When deciding origin at the beginning of the game, remember that they dictate what kind of missions/contacts you get, what opponents you will mostly fight and what kind of enhancements you can use.
This will be escpecially important in the beginning since many people prefer not to fight a certain kind of enemy(which they consider more powerful and deadly than the others).
Storyline will change and some opponents can change things for your hero in the story(for the worse hehe).
Origin also have some similarities to race in EQ.
Later in the game, when good enhancements start to drop (think of them as items), your Origin will decide what enhancements you can use.
In the beginning, enhancements that everyone can use will drop.
In the mid-game, things called Dual Origin Enhancements will start to drop(restricted to two origins, for example Relics can only be used by Magic and Naturals).
Later in the game, Single Origin Enhancements will drop, which concentrate on a single origin(Cybernetics for Tech-Origin for example).
Compare this to War only or Ogre only items hehe.
You can of course Buy the enhancements you want from specific origin stores as well as sell, and trade with other heroes.
They increase in price of course, SO's will cost you OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS, so trading with the friends is important.
That is all you have to think about when choosing an Origin in the creation of your char and of course picking the Origin that suits best to your story!
