Poll: Orcs, Elves or Dwarfs?

[Infernai]

I'm gonna go with Elves.

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Elves, they are be far the coolest of the three. Dwarfs are second and Orcs are a distant third.

Story the stereotyping! Break away from the cookie cutting races! Equal rights for handsome orcs and ugly elves and really tall dwarfs!

Aren't orcs already supposed to be elves who've been hit one time too many with Melkor's ugly stick?

In some versions, namely Tolkien's and everyone who took their elf/orc notes right from the LotR. I'm just tired of the, to quote yahtzee, "the standard Fantasy setting"

You want something different, maybe deal with fantasy races that aren't elves, dwarves, and orcs.

 

[Footinbox]

Orcs for the win! Woot for the Greenskins!

 

[nick n stuff]

elves. bows beat all.

 

[YarnBarf]

I'll go with dwarfs. I love the smell of caves.

Well yes and no. Yes I would like to see more different and unique races in games, but also I'd like to see people change the elves and dwarfs up a bit. Why do orcs always have to be bad guys? Why are all elves super pretty? I mean really there's no reason dwarfs have to live in caves and elves in trees. Could just as easily put stocky short dwarfs in thick tree homes with elves that are nomadic and live on the plains while the Orcs have great mountain cities.

 

[molester jester]

Ork's

WAAAGH

 

[Counterwise]

Dwarves! As manly as it gets! Even the women have beards
*curls up in preparation of great internet debate*

 

[Tazz Azreal]

Dwarves all the way man, they make beautiful sets of armoure and weaponry, as well as they can set any field of battle up to their advantage by sending in sappers first (there very stratigic)

 

[Nevaehfo]

Tauren.

 

[haku1219]

im only going with elves because bows and arrows are cool and they are the only ones that look cool using them..... with dwarfs the bow would scrap the ground and orcs..... well they just look stupid aiming a bow^_^

 

[Jaranja]

I votez fur da orks! WAAAAAGH!

DA BOYZ NEED A NOB DEY DO!

 

[interspark]

i must have sat through about 7 hours of this blasted trilogy and it still hadnt come to ANY sort of conclusion, i mean, they hadnt even temporarily settled down in preperation for the next movie! it was just "ahhh, people are attacking! lets fight back! oh no! the rings making me feel like crap!" THE END! i didnt even bother with the last one

 

[interspark]

oh and btw, i voted elves cos theyre sexy! (just so you know, im neither a girl or gay, just VERY honest)

 

[RelexCryo]

You forgot halflings. They will rule you all.

 

[GrinningManiac]

Also, Serenegoose, do you read the Discworld novels? If not, I whole heartedly recommend them. Not only are they the funniest books out there, they are very insightful, very clever and turn all the tropes and clichés of fantasy on their heads and make them REALLY really cool. The explanation of the quirks of different races are wonderful. The first few books are a bit "meh" in comparison to the later ones, but you don't really need to read them in any particular order, as the characters drop in and out of the overarching narrative and each novel contains its own story.

I loves me some discworld. Give me some of that Sam Vimes or Rincewind goodness.

Excellent! Sam is probably my favourite (Loved "Thud!") but I do love me a bit of Granny and Nanny.

I think we can all agree that Death is the best of the best. I mean look at the guy

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I always choose human but Elves have my vote.
