If you play a City Elf, you will be treated much better in the Alienage once you return to Denerim, as well as getting access to the shop again.

Afaik my human noble had access to the alienage shop too after completing that quest.

Actually, "too" is a misnomer here, so far in the city elf origin, I have not been able to use the shop at all.

Signed, though City Elf comes a very close second. I found Dallish to be.. lacking, and I haven't done the dwarven ones yet.

Tbh the dwarf noble was quite lenghty too without getting overly boring. Commoner just seemed way too short.
