Poll: What is your favorite "Standard Fantasy" Race?
- Thread starter Samtemdo8_v1legacy

Dwarves, no contest, having an incredible sense of honour and discipline without the burden of being too perfect, they beat dragons and giants, clearly superior opponents, with nothing but ingenuity, craftsmanship and the strength of their backs.

Elves but I'm getting bored of pretty much all "Standard Fantasy" races, including elves.
If Dragons or Dragon-kin were there, I'd vote for them.

PFt, he's got his finger on the trigger. If he was an Ultramarine, a real marine, he'd have proper trigger discipline.Abolished said:Gonna Second this and go with humanitycrimson5pheonix said:

I went with elves, because they're typically superior in many ways, such as magical, intellectual, cultural, genetic (longer lifespans, increased agility/reflexes). In fact, they often border on being a mary sue race.
Although, outside of their superiority in many ways, they really don't do much for me from a creative level. In fact, I don't think I could possibly be any more sick of standard fantasy at this point.

Beast races all the way.Elfgore said:
I picked Troll. They get my vote because there are quite a lot of ways a troll can look, whereas races like elves pretty much expected to have to be skinny white people with long ears. The fact that there is even such a thing as "standard fantasy races" gets on my nerves because it reminds me how derivative and uninspired a lot of fantasies are.
I pick Humans, because they're always mixed in as well. That, and I'm a massive fantasy racist.
I always play as a human. Fuck elves, they're bigger racists than I am. And typically insufferable.
If I had to pick other than human... I'd pick dwarf. Since they're pretty damn close to humans, just shorter. Very angry, tiny Viking miners.

Always dwarves.
I love those grumpy, no-nonsense little fuckers. Short in stature, big in attitude.

I really don't mind because I eat up this "Standard" fantasy settings.maninahat said:
Its my absolute favorite of all of fiction.
Its like even more spiced up view of Medieval European pasts.
Also I feel sorry for the Ogres.
Appearently Shrek and his "fanfiction" ruined Ogres for alot of people.

Realistically it's hard to turn down "Elf" in that context. Immortality, beauty, magic, intelligence, all seem better than, "Short. Lives underground. Sometimes heroes kill us because our leader was greedy."
That's because every dwarf ever has "Angry Short Person Syndrome". They're short, they're looked down upon - literally and figuratively - and as such they're always disgruntled. But if I walked around all day being eye-level with every other hero's crotch, I'd probably be disgruntled too.Cowabungaa said:
As for my own choice: I'll go with elves. When I play fantasy RPG's, I usually roll a mage, and Elves tend to make the best mages.
Wow Elves are winning!
A nice example of looks beating personality. They're all smug wanker pretty boys/ girls. If they were people they'd be hipster model greenpeace activists... Dark Elves are alright though, they at least have a bit of an edge and moral complexity to them.
