    Big strong ugly smelly races, wookies from  SWG, trandoshans were good too, in fantasy games I like orcs, half orcs and trolls. I did a trial of AO and there was this big sexless ogre like thing I liked.

    Undead from WoW have been my favorite to play, but the Goblins in Vanguard: Saga of Heros look interesting, I think I'll start one of those

    VANGUARD > ALL

    Dwarves in any form that have beards, even females should have beards. Lineage II female Dwarves sucked.

    Dwarves should also have Scottish accents.

    Bellato from RF Online.  Got to love a race that's main trump card is a M.A.U (Massive Assault Unit).

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    I can't believe a few dissed the TARUtaru!..blasphemy!

    IMO the TARU is the cutest coolest character ever designed in a game.I also think it will be a VERY VERY long time before anything better/cuter will be created.

    TRolls/orcs?  are you serious?....I also kinda liked the ratonga from eq2,another cute lil critter.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    The most best race that i like is the one that i can make, but no developer did put in that feature.

    Well dude ,you might get the first glances of what's to come ,with the new unreal engine.It has morphing capabilities,so it's only a matter of effort put out by the authors.Morphing can only go as far as the textures will take them,and how scalable the program will handle the meshes.There is deffinately no reason at all,with a little effort that we shouldn't be able to design our own characters in the near future.Not sure if a massive online game could handle this however,as the game would require alot more bandwidth from the video cards.I'm sure the first wave will use very simple textures ,not much in the way of animation.

    This is a really hard question for me since my opinions of races is colored strongly by my experiences playing them.

    I will say dark elves, as part of a "standard" fantasy setting-- I've played them in EQ, EQ2, and L2. It's not terribly original, but I feel like there's something about playing elves that aren't all light and goodness that appeals to me.

    But if I had to nail down the one particular race across all games that appeals to me most right this very moment, I would say the Matis from The Saga of Ryzom. I think Tryker girls are cuter, but the Matis civilization appeals to me more. A little arrogance never hurt anyone.

    ...
    This is where I draw the line: __________________.

    My favourate race would have to be 'ORCS'
    in my opinion they have everything, well basicly i like them because they specialise in combat, and mining..
    most people say dwarfs are miners but infact if you look in most 'mmorpg' game you will see that dwarfs are more into engineering..

    i do have a second favourate race, but its more of a life and death thing..
    'UNDEAD', the undead are so cool, you can be anything with them,
    but i suppose magic and necromance' is kinda like the prefered option..

    Lets see..
    Gnomes: Ever since i read the book Conundrum, i've been facinated by these little guys. People don't tend to take them serious, but hey.. They just look upon the world another way, than we do.

    Trolls(DAoC): Huge creatures makes of stone. Exactly like trolls are supposed to be, their hard hitting, but slow like hell - Facinating race.

    Dwarfs(NWN, DAoC, WoW): Dwarfs.. Ya' have to love 'em. Drinking while singing songs of somewhat.. Questionable quality, they also help with keeping the elf population down.

    Gully Dwarfs: Yeah, just a joke.. Let's not go there, shall we?

    Taurens: Huge humanoids. Peace loving tribes of warriors and shamans - What's not to like?

    I like Humans, Zabraks, Wookiees, and Orcs.

    I hate Gnomes, Elves, Mon Calamari, and Trolls :)

    Generally, I really like humans if the other races don't appeal to me. The most likeable non-human races I played were Zabrak (SWG), Undead (WoW), Dwarfs (WoW, and everywhere, really). 

  • AcaeusAcaeus Member Posts: 193

    1. Iksar (eq1)

    2. Troll (eq1 - luclin gx), Dark Elves (eq1 luclin gx), and Orc (WoW).

  • I like undead races, My favorite ever was vampire from Shadowbane. It's just too bad I didn't really like that game all too much.

    elfs all elfs because they are born archers!

    I like the UrQa from Star Sonata because they're very hostile and wiped out all but one of the ancient races.


  • JaziaJazia Member Posts: 584

    whoever said WOW dwarf is the best dwarf lol..

    check out Lineage 2 dwarf

    (by the way, don't get confused. Though that dwarf looks bigger than the elf, they are sitting. When stand up, the dwarf is a lot shorter lol)
