Those half tiger/lizard/etc. races

Shelk

Am I the only one who despises those half-man, half-tiger/lizard/etc. races in MMOGs?

Umm.... I'm talking about MMOGs not RL "f000".  I didn't ask if you despised people who play white or black skinned characters.  I'm talking about those half-tiger characters and such, and if anyone else finds them kind of stupid.

I suppose your right.  I'll probably get all 16 of the freax in the world who actually like them flaming this post.....

i dun really mind them, personally i like seeing talking dragon, and human sized walking lizards weilding longbows, some are better than others though, example: have a walking man sized lizard toger that lives in the ocena is really dumb, but like lizard men are more acceptable.

 

so in a way i dispise some of them, but i support other ones. i'm a 50/50 in this matter

I agree with u completly i think they look ugly as sin. Their heads are always too big and they almost always look short and stubby.

its becuz the makes of them run out of ideas like Centaurs,Iksars that stuff I wanna see golems as races and things with more then 2 legs make something up thats not half a damn human

It is not all half man races I dislike but what EQ is doing with frogs, and rats and tigers and lizards is just stupid IMO.

Have a race or two like a mino or a cent, but having a long line of them like in EQ and EQ2 just annoys me.

im always usually a plain human in most mmorpgs where i can choose race.. dunno why, but i just like being a human

I usually play a human as well.  It just seems more realistic, even if it is a fantasy world. I really like what Adellion is doing, they'll have only one race, humans, but have many different cultures.

In my opinion you cant have a fantasy setting without the Main Three which are Human, Elf and Dwarf.

I agree though that some of the other races you find in say EQ are ridiculous.

I don't mind these kinda half animal races.  In fact, unless there's something preventing me from them in a game, I usually pick 'em.  'Course, that's just me...

i think it works well to have  a variety of races

Shelk

Humans only? "It just seems more realistic, even if it is a fantasy world."  I agree with anti-ssm on that one.  As far as variety goes, humanity on earth is pretty varied don't you think, and we don't have any human-tiger hybrids running around.

The only reason these ridiculous races are in the games is because theres no character individuality for 100000 players choosing between 10 classes.  Therefore they throw a bunch of casings at you to try and disguise the fact that their game design blows and that you have the exact same character as 20000 other players.  UO only had one race, human, but the free skill system instead of classes was so lenient that character individuality was far greater than any other MMORPG.
