Your favourite race in a video game?

[Indignator]

I love dwarves in any video game, but I particularly like those in the Warcraft universe. They are engineers, builders, explorers and archeologists, what's not to love. And they are characterized really well, sometimes deathly serious and other times quite humorous. In WoW there is a gun called "Dwarven Fishing Pole" with a caption that says "Dwarves are not known for their subtlety."

Speaking of fishing poles, I would be remiss not to give an honorable mention to the goblins of Warcraft and their "Goblin Fishing Pole" - a stick of dynamite.

I like any race that is powerful yet mysterious. Protos, Night Elves, Dwemer and such.

I absolutely hate the prototypical "for blood and honor" race type. You know the Orc/Klingon/Krogan kinda races.
I can tolerate Dwarfs thou, they seem to be more in the line of "for blood and honor.....but first let's have a pint of ale shall we"

Sanghelli (Elites) from Halo.

Interesting and challenging to fight. Energy swords. But the coolest aspect of them is how militaiy rank is denominated by number of kills. e.g. An elite Zealot would have to kill 1000 opponents to achieve that rank.

They just ooze awesomeness.

What ever race Handyman falls under so I guess Figment.



That or Kaka just because Tao amuses me greatly while playing that game.

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

Me. or failing that, probably Cha-Cha, hes so darn huggable!

Lol Timesplitters.... Not sure if TS2 or TS: Future Perfect... xD

 

[Timmons]

I ALWAYS go for the dwarves, it feels so wrong not playing one. just gonna have to go nord for skyrim, its the closest i can get

 

[Dedtoo]

Orks from Warhammer 40k
In other universes i can accept orks, or lizardmen.

 

[ScarecrowAlone]

Mandolorians. Any culture that can get the almighty fuck beat out of it by the baddest Sith in the SW universe and still come back for more has my vote.

 

[DarthFennec]

Zora. They're awesome. And they're fun to play as ^^
I just love swimming around for hours in Majora's Mask sometimes~

 

[Zhukov]

The Krogan.

Big brutes with a heavy dollop of pathos? Yeah, that works for me.

Also, Quanari. Interestingly alien.

Ohhh, ohhh, and Geth.

...

Huh. I'm noticing a pattern here...

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

I'm going with the Turians from Mass Effect. They're an entire race of badasses. But none of them can top Garrus:

mm...dat ass.


agreed, turians are just so...

fucking awesome. can't put it much better than that, i never used to like anything besides humans and the occasional elves, but after seeing turians...

damn. if turians don't exist somewhere in the universe, then the universe fucked up.

 

[Puddleknock]

Well I've always been a fan of Wood Elves, dryads and other foresty beings with the forest spirits from the warhammer world being the best example to me. So I am very interested in the Sylvari in Guild Wars 2. Seems they have taken the idea of Elves and dryads and mixed together to make one race, which sounds good to me.

Oh and Warcraft Gnomes are great, especially when in full plate armour.

 

[Worgen]

The lizardmen from warhammer, they look cool, they have the most powerful mages in the world, they can ride trexs and the skinks are adorable.
The charr from guild wars are tied with them since they are giant spiked cat monsters who are also the highest tech race in the world and they rock with steampunk.

 

[ImperialSunlight]

I'd probably say the Qunari, the Zora or the Khajit. Damn, I'm indecisive >.< .

 

[3AM]

I like humans, specifically members of the Strong Woman/Spunky Girl clans. I know it's boring, but I like us.

 

[Michael Hirst]

Orks in the Warhammer 40K universe, they're pretty damn funny and have really amusing backstory/traits (their technology is crap but they BELIEVE it works therefore it does)

Second place goes to the Krogan (Brogan) in Mass Effect.

 

[shinyumbreon]

ARGONIAN FTW

 

[kyogen]

Dwarves, especially the ones in The Witcher franchise.

 

[Swifty714]

I find the lacking mention of Dogs in this thread....disturbing.

I mean come on, behind every hero, who is their to scout out treasure, take on dragon demon thing, and even take a bullet for you from an insane king/count person.

Dogs. Never cats, not fish, nor birds

Just Dogs.
