What race will you play as?

[Barothmuk]

Just your standard "what x will you play as?" topic where no one reads the posts as you're only here for the poll. Doesn't make for interesting conversation but someone had to do it.

 

I'll probably be rolling aumaua as I usually prefer to play as one of the 'unique'/non-standard races and I thought the aumaua portrait in this week's update looked pretty cool.

 

 

[Bryy]

Godlike for funsies.

Human, Orlan, or Aumaua for RP ad import to POE2.

 

It may be switched later on.

[Messier-31]

Human or elf.

All of the above, at some point.

First playthrough going Druid, but still deciding between Orlan and Human

[Reever]

First Godlike, then Aumaua, then Orlan, probably.

[Prometheus]

After the update I think my first character will be a wild orlan druid. I will likely play all races besides humans.

[JFSOCC]

I will check the stats of the races first, but if it's no matter, I'll pick human, maybe godlike.

[BillyCorgan]

First... as always, human. 

[Death Machine Miyagi]

Probably human.

[600lbpanther]

Wood Elf.

[rjshae]

Orlan, I dub thee Half-Pint.

[Elerond]

All except I may skip human play through.

[Andraste]

Prooooobably Godlike first. Aumaua or Orlan may yet win out, though.

 

After the last update, I have at least settled on druid for my initial class.

[FlintlockJazz]

All eventually, priority is human, orlan, godlike, not necessarily in that order.  Dwarf too, since they don't get noticed so much these days despite being awesome.

[Mannock]

Human I think. That's the plan at the moment atleast. And plans tend to change.

[ManifestedISO]

A cursed, god-like dark paladin. Unlike his contemporaries, however, the harem will be above-ground.

[Midas Touch]

Hyoooman for me.  Whatever is closest to the Dutch.

[drake heath]

Human, might do a dwarf or an elf eventually, if I feel like it.

 

I never liked playing as non-humanoid races, so I don't know if I'll ever play a Godlike, orlan or an aumaua

[Tauron]

My first pick human. Although I might go with demonspawn...i mean godlike!

[Falkon Swiftblade]

If I understand correctly, godlike get a bonus to dex, and since I always play a speedy stabber or boxer I'll likely go that rout. I do hope you can be a short godlike being though.

[Woldan]

Most of them, a new race for each playthrough. Though I voted human because thats what I'm going to chose for my first playthrough.

But the Godlike are humanoid. In fact, I think all the races are humanoid. Even if you meant "very, very human-like," I believe the Godlike are variants of any race, like a sub-race. So, you could make a Human Godlike. Just for what that's worth (you're still free to wish to not do that.)

I don't know that DEX, in this game, actually affects attack speed. I think just your base weapon speed, plus your armor detriment (heavier armor = slower action speed), plus maybe some bonuses from things like talents, skills, or specializations? That's your attack speed, that we know of.

 

As far as I know, DEX will only grant you increased accuracy (and, consequently, fewer misses and grazes and more hits and criticals, overall.)

[Larkaloke]

I voted elf, because that is likely what I'll have as my first main character, but I expect that I'll play them all eventually in one form or another (be it as more characters in that party, or as later main characters). Of course, that's also just what I'm thinking is most likely right now -- I might have a different idea by the time the game actually comes out and I'm playing it.

[Helz]

Depends a lot on which class I decide to go with first.  If a fighter, probably a mountain dwarf.  If a wizard then a human or maybe a Godlike.  Definitely not an elf.

[AGX-17]

All?

 

If you don't try every race then you're probably missing out on something worthwhile.
