Just out of interest, how many people are considering or are going to have a main character that is not human?

BTW, All of my characters are going to stay human. Until I get bored, anyway.

Humans are boring. I'd say all but one of my character would be nonhuman. Especially since there's supposed to be more than just 4 non human races according to the article.

Maybe one Charr for me, but most of my characters will be human.

PS The asurians look DUMB!

Depends if choosing the race is purely astetic, or if choosing them effects stats and/or quests.

Seeing as we have absolutely no new so far (as far as I know) about this I am going purely based on looks and assuming the classes stay the same when I say I will probably only have one or two humans. I will most likely have a Charr Warrior, an Asuran Necromancer, and probably everything else Sylvarian, cuz they are just plain awesome...

PC Gamer used the words "primary attribute" in relation to races. That doesn't sound like a purely aesthetic choice.

The Norn are shape-shifting half-giants that can turn into bears.

Hmm. In the PC article it said that each race would have some advantage, completely unique from the other races. I definetely would go with the Charr, or Asuras.

My main "Free Runner" will be human. It would be weird to have a character i have played since the start suddenly turn into a mutant rabbit. Though i will be makign my other chars into other races - going for Sylveri and Asura. I do hope Tengus make it into the playable races stage.

wouldn't mind playing a forgotton either
Norn's are historically the 3 sisters in Norse mythology known as fate (Urd), destiny (Verdandi) and necessity/debt (Skuld), aka the fates aka the wyrd sisters. Shapeshifters sound interesting although one can only hope their implementation will be better than the druids in D2. Can't wait till I can actually get a copy of this myself and look at some concept art

Depends on how the race affects the stats of the character.
