What's everyone Race of choice and why?

Been putting a lot of thought into this, and I think I'm going to be looking at Dwarfs myself, they have that old Dragon Age look to them and they look badass in their armour

I wonder if they will look silly in some of the cosmetics designed for the other races though!!

sure, i understand people want to play a sublimed version of themselves but as a roleplayer and "old" rpg player i got bored too see "perfect" bodies. I want to play an old character with drawbacks, disability etc. i would love to have an option to modify morphology and a posture old arched back.

i hope our gear are sober, i saw too many fancy shields and weapons (even at low level).

Btw my second race of choice would be Tulnar. i have this fantasy to play a jack-of-all-classes character so it's the perfect choice (mixed races+religion

Oh my !! A nice and friendly looking Baba Yaga ? ^^

More "Civilian and harmless looking/seeming"-Characters are underrated, i think. Even to this very Day in WoW, i see about 998 Players out of 1000 play young, vital and capable looking Characters who totally fit into an Adventurer-kind of Lifestyle.

You have the Option to let your Character look old and retired - but about no one uses that. I could imagine that we see some more Players in Ashes of Creation go for that Look. It looks more realistic anyway. The overall Look of the Game.

what about that, just saw this

Unsure, leaning towards elf. My choice is pretty much based on the lore of the race and taking their points to extremes.

Nova_terra

Definitely going to be Empyrean or Py'rai. I love me some elves and both look very good from what I've seen of renders and I love the "elegant" designs of typical high fantasy elves.

Ahh, "SMITE" ^.^ saw that Game a few times, in the past.

So there is a Character named after like the "whole Race" of Babayaga instead of just being an Entry in a Monster Catalog.

In some Fictions, their "Houses" are described and displayed as ABSOLUTE Beasts !! The Babayaga-Houses can whip themselves into a Berserker-Frenzy in those Fictions and - well - they are huge and Heavy. Don't underestimate them.

A cool Fantasy-Character and Race.

VEK

I decided on Vek once the first race list was shown (during KS?)

I like to play the races that are more connected to nature - but hate elves - so Vek was my clear choice.

I was even more sold on Vek once they released this art showing how they will actually look in game. The massive dark eyes are so unique that I fell in love all over again.

edit: oh... i've uh... already replied to this post...

at least i'm not a hypocrite

I'm very interested in the Tulnar for main, but I want to see more about them first. But I'm liking their concept for having to stay after the others were able to get away.

So, if not Tulnar, then probably Ren'kai though the Py'rai are a close second. I just like playing non-human races. I'm just not sure what I want to do for an main yet. I have time though. lol.

I have an idea for alt (character from another game) that just screams to be a Vek. She's a grumpy, old seer and I just love the character.

I want to see what tul'nar look like before I choose. If it isn't something that looks good to me, I'll see what Kaelar looks like.

WHY ? WHY???????????

MORTAL ! you dare to question my choice ?

know your place and worship me! or you will know the consequences of my wrath.

Dwarf, because front flip is the default jump. That's BiS across all races.

If they remove that... Then I'll reconsider.

Ehrgeiz

white human male warrior yep

Dwarf, because i haven't any problem with alcohol.

Py'rai 110% if they look similar as the concept art shown here. Why? Horns xD https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/51987/player-feedback-request-pyrai-female-male-concept-3d-models-2022/p1

Py'rai. I always play elves and love their aesthetic. I have a preference for wood elves over high elves so Py'rai fit that the best. I love the look of their buildings as well. I'm leaning cleric now for my main until I can see what Summoner and Bard look like. I'm very curious how racial augments will affect spell effects too. I hoping for more of a druid type look.

My first alt will probably be another Py'rai female for whichever class I don't main. Then a Vaelune as I like their added Djinn flare.

Kaelar for my good guys and Tulnar for me evil characters. Elves are a bit too soft skinned for me and orcs smell. Dwarves are cute but they're a bit short. Tulnar scare me so thats good.
