I love Lalas, but I understand why its not a race for everyone.

But seriously, you shouldn't play a game where something you hate so much is so recurrent.

There's so many people like this on XIV, I don't understand how can people enjoy a game with so many elements that piss them off.
>>
It depends on a lot of factors, but I'd say I generally gravitate toward more inhuman races.

Argonians and Orcs in TES.
Looots of races in WoW, including Draenei (yes, including the ever rare males), Orcs, Trolls, and Worgen.
The plantfolk and Charr in Guild Wars.
Roegdayn and Au Ra in FFXIV.
I actually gravitate toward humans in Dungeons and Dragons settings, though. Can't say why that is, half-orcs and tieflings just lack some kind of appeal for me.

I don't personally mind them all too much to be honest, at least appearance-wise, but the personalities all tend to either be screaming sperglords or assholes who have to inject their Loli fetish into everything, or said "run everything Jews with no knees" types.
Only genuinely cute Lala I've met is Precious Piddlepants on Excalibur who overall was a sweet, and actually really kindhearted person no matter the medium.

If Lalas weren't treated as the LOL SO FAHNNY race for literal memelords, I'd probably like them a lot more.

Guild Wars had a good thing going until the salads came along.
Humans were strunk as fuck and dwarves all got turned to stone and were magic users as oppose to fighters. Beast races were fighting to take back land that the humans had taken.

Yeha, Guild wars 2 has the Sylvari, which are a plant-people twist on Elves.

They're an extremely new race in terms of existence and have only been around for 25 years. Despite this they're fully fledged in terms of intelligence as they exist in 'the dream' before they're 'born' and gain all the basic knowledge they'd need, while learning some other stuff so each individual is unique instead of a hivemind. They're 'born' as adults.

There's some really planty/woody features you can choose for them

>>317337352
If I can, I tend to go for unique races like the fluffy pokémon triplets in Allods, the cat people in Shit Wars 2, the cyber dog guardian in Sacred 2 and so on.
If I'm limited to generic fantasy races it's usually high elf or half orc.
I've wanted to play as a bard lich for the longest time, though. Maybe Original Sin 2 will fix that.

It's gone limited F2P now. Much of the game is restricted to you until you level up and you can't mapchat below level 10 or 20. Otherwise, you can pretty much enjoy the full (base) game.

Frogs, Elephant might be cool, and Mushroom Men tend to be fun guys.

Land-based mermaids are rarely done (think Minette from Skullgirls), Gargoyles would be cool, and maybe an owl folk race that is actually a bunch of predatory raptors that aren't as smart as they look, but they all have the Druidic look going to them.

Depends on the game setting and what idea I find most interesting.

In a game like Arcanum, I'll always go Dwarf because I love the flavour if brings with it in that game.

In a game like Morrowind, I'll most often go Dark Elf for the the buffs and to feel at home within the setting. (Even though everyone still calls you outlander).

Too bad dwarves usually take that aspect too, so gnomes just become lolsowacky.


Class of Heroes did something different at least, they were basically spirits that possessed dolls to interact with the world. Powerful at magic (but fragile) and are so chill that every race likes them, even the asshole demon race.

Even though beast races are just a human(oid) with an unnatural skin color and a handful of Earth animal inspired extra features (because devs can't be fucked getting armor to fit on more than humanoids), I'd still rather be one than a literal human with unnatural height, and maybe sharper ears.

Stop with the bullshit Daniel. You just want to sell as much games as possible, so you use humans or something that's basically a human because that's what normies like. It's perfectly possible to relate to non-humanoid character, but "Regular" people are fags that prefers to play a character that looks like themselves.

Nah, it's still alive and they never gave up. It's more that the previous guys that started it, announced it WAY too early. Normally, most companies doesn't really announce their games until they're 1 year or two from completion.

When EQN was announced, they had barely started. I'd say we got another year or two before it's released, maybe even three. They're keeping it under wraps for now, since what they're most likely doing right now is just the "Boring" stuff, like AI, mechanics and such.

I mean, sure, some of us would probably love to hear and see about that, but the problem is the general reaction and impression showing off a game that doesn't even have much assets and props and mostly just coding and AI. People will assume it's shit regardless of how the end product ends up looking like, leading to less sales.

It's why NDA are so common for alphas and betas for example, because they know that the common man are too retarded to look past the exterior.

Of course, I have no idea if EQN will be shit or not, but I can assure you that they are working on it.
