>Game has different races
>Each one is Human/Dwarf/Elf

As much as I hate Bethesda, at least TES has the decency to do something different. What are the most unique races in games? Bonus points if it's not just a variant on human.

Elaborate.

Because, you know, what you posted IS a variant on human.

It's not pink soft skinned with all human parts.

Beast races are something different which are good.

Nowadays TES really is a shitty example because every race has the same human physique but with a different face.

I think its time we have humanoid races mixed with other races that aren't just lizard face and skin ok human body shape.

Alternative races need to be more shaped into their beastial form. I don't want an insect race that's just standing bipedal with extra arms cause lolspider race.

This. I cannot remember the last time an MMO had races that were physically different enough that armor models had to be modified to follow suit. Too bad they stopped trying to do so fairly early along.

Asura had the same problem, some helmets making their giant ears vanish entirely, or having their toes sticking awkwardly out of their greaves.

Shit game that I'm not even going to name as I hate even the idea of anyone supporting them (beside it is just a fucking MUD, it isn't like any of the underage here would even be able to enjoy it anyway) but they did have a few entertaining ideas.

You could play as a Naga. To explain it simply for anyone who don't know the "Medusa race" though Medusa is a name of a special naga, not the species name itself.

Anyway you took up 2 tiles and you have a special shape-shifting ability which start off with you simply turning into a weaker frog just in case you need to become 1 tile in size to move. Depending on your current form you will unequipped equipment. Kinda hard to wear boots if you lack legs again. Endgame you can turn into a Hydra (eight headed snake on this game) with will allow you to equip 8 necklaces funny enough and being an old school game necklaces were often extremely powerful magical items with great effects. Slap on eight regen ones for example and you will become basically immortal.

It just a shame the dev and his group of "wizards" (mods) are just asshats. Simply talking at the wrong moment is an automatic ban for a week.
>>
>>344873170

That's what I'm saying. If they can't even get it right on something whose only real difference is their heads, they should either stop trying or just assume the players don't care that much about clipping and just go ham. I'd love to play as races with completely different physiologies. In Mass Effect the Hanar and the Elcor are both based as fuck.

Oh No! You've been transported to a magical world where 100% Pureblooded humans are mythical creatures!

You soon learn that Humans have the ability to function as massive magic storage batteries that mages can draw from, able to contain and produce over 1000x the amount of a regular person in that world, and that's without any training on how to optimize magic production.

Except you can't use any of that magical energy yourself.

It sucked in Morrowind though how Khajiit and Argonians couldn't wear boots or gauntlets. I guess you could make an alternative armor set specifically for them, but that would make loot more complicated. I think SWTOR makes the most sense, non-humanoid characters can have armor, it just isn't visible. That way at least you get the same stat bonuses as other races.

I wish more games would try to make more original races rather than just humanoids that look vaguely like lizards or birds or dogs or cats or some other common animal.

Granted, gorons are still humanoid, but they're still miles more creative and original than most OC donut steal races.

I haven't seen many games capitalize on ents either. Having a playable ent race would be the bee's knees.

Wildstar is weird.
When you list all the features out it sounds like a game that I should fucking love.
Its a sci-fi action-y mmo with neat races and a relatively interesting artstyle.
But I just don't enjoy playing it, the races all feel like they're lacking something, the sci-fi kind of misses the mark and the artstyle is mostly just kind of shallow.
I think its just that it's trying to be what I would consider the "perfect" mmo, so I can't look past the flaws to enjoy what good there actually is.

I guess they just have the brain as an organic processing unit. Plus it probably helps with body alignment and control due to the comparable body plan of a Glitch and the other bipedal species.

Kinda like how Fallout robobrains were originally. Completely robotic, with an organic brain (animal or human) for processing.

Assuming there is intelligent, civilized life out there, what are the odds that they'd have military tradition?
I mean, constant inter-species war, and organized war at that, and TOTAL WAR at that, with everyone being recruited to fuel the war machine... that doesn't offer much evolutionary benefit. Nor is it particular intelligent.
If there is another species that is capable of space travel, and has organized to live together and strive towards a common goal, it seems unlikely they'd be very good at large scale murder and destruction.

Bethesda beast races are shit, they have interesting lore, but very dull appearance, what I really like is the Bethesdas take on elves, Merish races actually look alien and distinct from humans

they arent just tall and skinny treehuggers, interestingly enough the Bosmer, the treehuggers of the setting, are brutal cannibals and shapeshifters, are closer to khajit then other mer, and are likely ancestors of a significant portion of the monsters you see in the setting

Not really. Animal races like lizards, cats, bugs, etc were the norm for every fantasy fictional setting prior to somewhere mid-80s or so. Initial lore Bethesda put into TES was horrendous, in case you forgot about Abecean sea, until Daggerfall and more importantly Morrowind.
