    The Au Ra

    Anyone else find them lackluster in appearance? I know they've been visible for quite some time but I never bothered looking at them. Of all the options the blue male in the promo photo is the only one that seems interesting, all of the others really just look like humans or slightly morphed mithra with horns glued to the sides of their heads and re-skinned tails.

    I kinda wish they had gone completely reptilian in their design a la Argonians. They just look fairly.. bland to me.

    I tried to make my Au Ra as mystical looking as possible. Pale skin white hair and bright white eyes looks pretty cool.

    As a Lalafell, I often find that most of the races look like freakishly morphed Lalafells. I've tried changing to Miqo'te and Hyur, but in the end, I couldn't stand being a giant and changed back to normal height.

    I like them a lot. None of the races look all that different, barring height and extras, like ears/tails.

    The male Au Ra are the worst of any races imho.
    The narrow faces look weird to me and weird body proportion. The Giraffe necks look better.
    I wish we had more unique races but I was so bored of Miqote you don't even know.
