So the collective gaming community has been up in arms over Lizard Time: Sequel. (Dragon Age: II) There are various reasons, people complaining that it's been dumbed down and the like.
However, a major problem is being ignored.
Having the player character's race be human in a fantasy game is like having their class be accountant. Fantasy is supposed to be relatively divorced from reality. It's full of things like Dwarves, Gnomes, Quinari, and other things. This is like in Space Wizards (Mass Effect) where they introduced Krogans and Salarians, two of the greatest Sci-Fi races ever, and forced you to be human.
