I played a female Aman with the height modifiers to be the tallest possible. It was like being a giant everywhere because the all the Elins don't even come past your knees, and of course basically everyone is an Elin.
I would have picked a male Aman, but for some reason the guys can't be tall and thin.

Because I don't want to be a special snowflake? For example in 40k Imperial Guard is the only acceptable choice, nothing better than fighting eldritch horrors and xenos with just normal conscripts.
And in RPGs other races are usually uninspired. They are just bland recolors and always humanoids. Often your race isn't even mentioned beyond some rare dialogue

My personal favourite thief was in Quest for Glory: Dragon's Fire where you could actually bankrupt vendors by stealing from them too much, as well as the town by robbing the bank nightly until you get caught.
So good watching the vendors pack up their tents, tears in their eyes as they're forced to leave because I stole their wares.

Absolutely this. It goes along with my hate of consumable items. If mana regenerates quickly or is easily restored in some other way, I'll try it, but otherwise, I'm just gonna hit everything with my sword.

The only way you can make any kind of morality system work is if being good requires actual sacrifice.
For example, back when I played Dark Souls and beat Artorias for the first time, I saw Ciaran and really wanted her armor. But since she wasn't hostile, grieving for a long-lost friend and had been nothing but polite to me, I could hardly bring myself to attack her.

Honestly, how come more games don't allow close range/Melee magic? And no, i'm not talking about enchanted weapons, i mean like imbuing your fists full of energy, or pumping energy directly into an enemy through your hands, or telekinesis that slowly grows in power, if you got powerful enough you could throw the final boss against a mountain. How cool would that be? Why do the attacks always have to be either a bolt or a stream. There's jack all variation. There should be a mage that still has to duck and dodge around an enemy rather than stand back like a little bitch. We need more magic like the psychic abilities in Psychonauts, but less clunky.
