What race will you play as?

[Lephys]

I always tend to play a human rogue in my first play throughs in games like these.

 

I could get behind an Aumaua like this though:

Totally forgot about that character! He's basically an Aumaua ninja, haha. Never thought of that.

[beardedbrian]

more than likely ill pick dwarf. ive played too much dwarf fortress not too. haha

[Ahvz]

Probably male human Death Godlike for my first serious playthrough, unless something else catches my eye between now and then. During beta I'll try everything out but I'll gravitate towards Orlan and Godlike characters. Maybe Aumaua, too. 

 

I don't think I've ever played human in a game where you're allowed to choose other races.

Death Godlike Bleak Walker. No mercy!

In the IE games I would always play as a Lawful Evil Human, so if PoE has no alignment system I will just play plain old human I suppose. Possibly with a lawful evil background?

[Marceror]

I'm undecided at this time. I typically go with a human, but a godlike could be a fun variation on that (even though god-like aren't necessarily a human sub-race, as they were in DnD).

 

I rarely play shorties, so Orlan probably won't be my choice. But the Aumaua is a possibility.

Aumaua protagonist and one Godlike ally.
The Godlike are just too fascinating to pass on.
And the Aumaua... well, it's the first time that a "brute" race really attracts me. So I want to try them out.
Maybe it's because they remind me of the fish-men in One Piece...

The racial stat bonuses cause me to change my vote. I really don't like that. never  been a fan of racial stat modifiers.

[Signals20]

Definitely human!

Which racial stat bonuses?

I can't find anything about them on the wiki...

They're in the 'Bonuses' table.

[Sacred_Path]

Possibly Godlike. It's that quirky choice of race that might trigger more interesting (conversation) options. Then again, I also want to use an Auamaua Cipher...

[SnarkyArky]

Human or Godlike.

 

It really depends on what I end up fancying once I sit down to play the game.

[salo]

Anything but human.

[gholam]

All of them of course.

[Marceror]

All of them of course.

I'm sure I will eventually have done this as well.

[gbrocketman]

Leaning Orlan at the moment. Anything but human really. I get to live my life as a human every day,. I want something different in PoE.
