Usually more fun gameplay of mass destruction. Plus most studios don't know how to write non-vanilla 'good' protags.

>>322599392
Dunno. I'm always good. I can't help it. Even when the people are fake and the good doesn't matter I still have to be good.

because humans, short humans and long-eared humans with generic medieval culture is boring.

I'd rather put up with edgy than full blown faggots.

Before WotLK Horde used to have better racials for everything. After WotLK Humans had the best pvp racial, but pve racials were still better for the horde. So if somebody didn't want to play Human he probably played Horde. At the same time they've simply got used to it.

Pleb
Only wrong race is vidya are humans with their "neutral stats" and "good" affinity

what the fuck do you want from dwarves? do you want them to be nimble defenders of the forest or something?
>>
>>322600560
They've been done to death for whatever reason.

>>322600832
Literally anything other than what they always are.

Basically escapism, being that dark brooding badass king they can't successfully be in real life. It's arguable that the evil side of the spectrum is inherently appealing to people though.

>>322600420
They exist to shit on elves

imagine the following

underground red lolis with elf ears and affinity to magic due to living nearer the earth's core.

also, white pupils due to being blind.

is that enough?

I used to play Dofus and fucking everyone was Bontarian which is the good alignment. I liked the bad alignment because the city and music was better.

Dwarves, a race of 10 ft. tall arachnids that hate alcohol and live in the clouds where they ostracize the more muscular and hairy of their race

Are they tsundere due to their affinity with heat and redhaired twintails?

Most games have you play the forces of good.
Very few games have you as evil and when they do it's usually the whole selling point such as with overlord.

>>322599392
Fuck you the Alliance is evil guy.

Because the dark side is quicker, easier, more seductive.

>alliance literally going hitler mode on races they dont like
>the horde has some more monsterous races like trolls and orcs and cows
horde is clearly the evil side
