The End of Races....but?

[Zeich]

I'm perfectly happy playing a human like race. people identify more with beings closer to them. I wouldn't ever think of playing a beast tribe race.

I'm quite the opposite, tbh. I'd have loved to play a Beast Tribe race (especially with how much model work they've done with Lupin between last year's All Saint's Wake and the current Hildibrand quest) because it's not human. While people identify with beings closer to them, this is also an RPG. Many people play alternate races to be something beyond what he is in real life. We're a human every day, why do we want to be a human in a game when we can try being something else? It's why I play Charr in GW2, Khajiit in Skyrim, etc - being a human is everyday life, and it's fun to play something different.

I do understand that obviously due to my characters gender, but it's still close enough to myself to identify with. I am not white haired or a woman in real life but I still wouldn't want to be a kobold or a moogle.
