Of the species seen in the game so far, which one would you like to play as? Do you think it'll be possible?

I'll go first and say that I think it would be cool to play as a skeleton, but I'm not convinced that will be an option as skeletons are typically mobs.

The rabbits/hares/lagomorphs seem interesting.

Out of what we saw, the rabbit folk seemed like the coolest design to me. If people with antlers are a separate race from regular humans I think they could be pretty neat too, but I don’t think we really got a good look at them from the front at all.

One thing I did notice was a conspicuous lack of a reptilian race. Really hope we get that - dragonfolk like kobolds and whatnot are staples of fantasy and don’t have an overtly human like design such as elves or dwarves, and given that it seems most of the races are anthropomorphic animals I think they’d fit in well.

(Plus it wouldn’t be No Man’s Skyrim without the Lusty Argonian Maid!)

I wonder if there will be creatures like the Gek and the Vy'Keen.

Not as convinced about artificial lifeforms though, as that would indicate a level of technology high enough to probably get off the planet, which isn't in the game.

Still, it's going to be a massive world, so we'll see!

Playing as a bipedal bison humanoid always seems like a great choice for a fantasy character in my opinion. That and hawks.

I've just watched the trailer. Is there somewhere they listed the species you can play as?

[–] essteeyou 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not as far as I know.

Well in that case I'm just gonna hope they have some reptile like race and id play as that

Personally I want to play as a rabbit-folk rogue who rides a giant sparrow. I think that would be epic and something I've wanted in a game for a very long time. My only gripe with what has been shown so far was with the takeoff animations for the aerial mounts. They feel very starship-like and not organic. What I mean by that is they sort of thust off the ground straight up, with little to no forward momentum. Then at the height of the jump, accelerate forward via a nonexistent propulsion system. That style of takeoff looks great on large, nonbiological ships but jarring when used for the flight of biological ones. I hope they address it before launch.
