What proph. races should be playable?

I've been thinking about somthing i would like to write to Anet but i want to take a poll first

If you could play as another race in Prophicies, which one would u choose

Here are some i was thinking about:

Stone Summit
Grawl
Charr
Tengu/Avarican
Forgotten
Mursaat
Scale (not really)
Centuars
Undead
Minotaurs (no..too much like WoW)

Just keep in mind that the race would have to inculde all 8 playable classes
so like Root Behemoth, might not be a good pick.

RE: What proph. races should be playable?

Mursaat 4 me I would love to have demigod powers and spectral agony ppl to death and making them mob me and spectral agonizing them again. =)

second choice would probably be the Charr I like the kind of orcish feel to them

Tengu/Avarican and centars for sure. I would love to be a bird and hold my weapons backwards.

RE: What proph. races should be playable?

if the choice was there, i'd say Margonite
but...out of ur selection, i'd say the Mursaat and the Jade

keep in mind that if they were to introduce these 'races', an alternate 'evil' storyline would have to be created..

RE: What proph. races should be playable?

Were there to be nonhuman playable races... I'd have to go for Dwarves. They're the only nonhuman race from Prophecies that you WOULDN'T need entirely new storylines for, since most of the other races seem to consider humans to be their racial enemies/food.

From Factions, the obvious ones would be the Anchu Tengu. In Cantha, the only obviously-intelligent races besides humans and Tengu are the Naga, which already have a backstory that involves them being culturally opposed to humanity (blame humans for their near-extinction), and Yeti, which are a primitive, barbaric race probably too low-tech to be a serious race.

In Nightfall... Well, there really isn't any that would fit the criteria of being clearly intelligent and not needing a major story rewrite. Centaurs are the only semi-friendly race in Elona, and even they seem to despise humans in general. Besides that, there's Zhed's constant comments about "two-legs" which wouldn't really make much sense if your character had more than two legs...

Personally, I think that 10+ different professions is more than enough to give anyone enough variety without throwing species in there, especially since it would be difficult to balance new races with the old combinations.

RE: What proph. races should be playable?

I would go with medium sized races, such as:

Humans (of course)
Dwarves
Centaurs
Forgotten
Tengu
Charr
Heket
Skree
Grawl
Margonites

Possibly:
Undead
Naga
Gargoyles
Imp

I wouldn't go with Mursaat or Yetis because they are large creatures, and would take extra unnecessary balancing when there's pleanty of other races to choose from.

RE: What proph. races should be playable?

charr or tengu would be cool. there's a serious lack of charr overall in the game. and since we already have a centaur hero, i don't see why we can't have centaur players.

RE: What proph. races should be playable?

hmmm...

personally i wouldnt use existing creatures...
if it were me i would still stick with different creatures (not human i.e. warrior or ranger) but not creatures you can attack atm...

the point im getting at is that you should maybe use something i.e. dragons for fire and/or ice (going for the ele theme) and some sort of woodland being for things like the ranger...
(i also think that having some sort of creature that flies/floats would be good 2!)

incase you havnt figured out what im getting at, i think mystical (fictional) creatures should be used, but still stick with the existing professions, but set professions for each creature like the fire dragon for ele. :)

i think this would work well in contrast with the existing GW campaigns!

also, i think an alternative campaign scenario, where what you choose to do affects your gameplay and outcomes (multi choice campaign, not just a pre set for everybody)

let me know what you think of this!!!

gary

(P.S please rate my comments! anythin would be gud :) thx!)

That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I wouldn't mind the dragon myself :).

The multi purpose ending though doesn't sound like a bad idea....To expand on what you are saying have it so if you go into a story quest, and die instead of retiring it would have a different cut scene for that, and possibly a different town. If you are trying to protect someone and they die then it is another outcome entirely, I really like the sound of that idea.

Pyschobunny...All i have to say is "Last Days of Ascalon" or whatever that quest is. Someone in post Ascalon forgot to cull the charr herd and now they be level 20's. Not a lack just out of the way.

I chose to be Armored Cave Spider. Hopefully no one has favor. /prays*

glad you do! and yeah i luv the sound of playin as a dragon too!

i think that if that did happen, only use the warrior, ranger, ele, and monk professions (possibly necro if there was an undead creature) as a basis because these seem the most likely candidates to be sucessful.
(i cant really see a sin, rit, derv etc. working too well, and it would just be a repeat of the other campaigns)

(i think that a dragon for ele would work, and maybe necro for an opposite (evil?) dragon...)

again, glad you like the idea!

P.S could ppl rate my ideas cos i really need the cred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: What proph. races should be playable?

First lemme explain 1 thing: EVIL RACES CAN'T be played, it would simply be too difficult to make a good story line with evil main characters... some guy replied to this by saying they could be rebel charr or something, but that's just rubish if you ask me:P

Of course I'm not just being negative, so I DO hope they will make the dwarfs and tengu playable, since these are neutral races, and very cool^^

i never said that they should be evil, it was a mere suggestion... (notice the "?" at the end of it!) they could be opposites, or just enemies within the game as a back up story, like a brief history of sum sort, with no particular meaning kinda like stone summit and the other dwarves...

sori if i gave the rong impression!

o yeah 4got about that!
and also, if it was a multi choice campaign where you choose your own campaign (technically) theres nothing to say you CANT be evil and destroy everything, ranther than save everything!!!
*(evil laughing, grinning with a sick twisted smile)* he! he! he! *ehem*
so if this is the case anyway, even the good guys COULD be evil!!

Shadow Army, wouldn't it be cool to hear that the Shadow Creatures managed to break free from their chains.

Or Wardens.
