Are you for or against the addition of race-based bonuses?

[PSxpert2011]

The reason SE hasn't added race specific bonuses and will not in the future is because it's only aesthetic and has nothing to do with performance. It was decided long before this senseless thread that races wasn't going to be favorable to any abilities or traits to influence players to choose what race to play.

That's why I'm still comfortable still playing as Elf (like in ffxi, best race ever!). Race specific gear shouldn't have different stats either but it should be mendable (the best system ever!). Unless you put alittle effort to being difference, faster, smarter or stronger, all players start the same way, on equal standings. SE need to make it clear that as their subscribers, no one will be playing favorite and getting special treatment because "all men/women are created equally".

Leave Rousseau out of this please ... and btw, that's not true at all. A Jamaican isn't a Japanese, you know ... same thing about Highlander/Lalafells etc.

All men are created equal in rights ... surely not physically.

What is this panic about racial bonuses? The game won't be funny if a race starts with 20 str and 25 mnd while another one with 25 str and 20 mnd?

You know, about "all men are created equal" ... there are people who are born without arms ... still someone is able to play piano using their own feet ... and they play better than me.

All japanese mangas, anime ... have as hero someone with a fairly impossible dream, being considered as a scum in the beginning, still at the end he's able to reach it ...

Now the problem here, in a videogame, should be small racial differences? Personally, I would really feel satisfied, playing as a warrior Lalafell, winning in an arena match an highlander with my same job ... It would be more difficult, more interesting ... more epic.

Now my turn to write a famous quote: "Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom."

OT: Has anyone ever seen "Gattaca"? If not, you should ... it's a very nice movie.
