New playable expansion race: Largos
this is a very good idea, i would imagine that their main city would be underwater
I don’t know.. As they seem to be a very stealthy and reserved race I wouldn’t like to see hundreds of largos running around.
Sometimes it’s necessary listening to the silence, it could tell more..
The asura were once a withdrawn race… you never saw them in Tyria until Primordus pushed them to the surface from the underground depths.. perhaps the same will happen for the Largos. Anyways, lots of threads with ideas about the “next playable race”.. so far I believe the most likely are the Tengu, the Kodan and the Largos.
Slow down and smell the pixels.
Yeah, I don’t think it’s really a matter of whether or not they will be a playable race. It’s more a matter of when. These guys seem to scream Bubbles expansion.
Agree, I wanted to suggest this on a post about a new playable water race.
I am pretty sure this race will never ever be playable. And I think t’s actually good as it would kill em.
What makes you so sure?
We all know tengu are going to be a player race, but will bird-men be able to sell boxes like deep sea drow will? Imagine if an expansion included both races and played up the two counter-balancing each other. Colorful, honorable tengu and the dark, sneaky largos. A bit of the same contrast we saw with the Luxon and Kurzick nations, isn’t it? I’ll be pretty surprised if largos never surface as a player race.
Either way, the entire design of largos screams player race to me. They definitely have a bigger shot than kodan do, anyway. I’ve gone over this before, but here we go again: existing models strongly suggest being placeholders, they have the possibility of hairstyles, skin, eye, and fin luminescence customization. They can easily fit into any world armor, and the masks give Anet an opportunity to be creative with faces.
Imagine if instead of picking a face like you do with anyone else, you instead pick and then customize a mask. These can be anything from just mouth breathers, half-masks, full masks, etc. Sliders would change the face beneath it, and maybe some elements of the mask itself. Either way, it’d be pretty neat!
Everything needed for a player race exists in largos (see: hairstyles, humanoid shape, gender dimorphism, unique culture and dialect, etc). I’ve also read that Sayeh is voiced by Tali’s aunt from the Mass Effect series, but I’m not sure if that’s true or not. If so, there’s more support in favor of this speculation. It’s also worth noting that they fill the presently empty role of a race that’s dark, mysterious, and stealthy.
Despite there only being 7 in the game, they give me the impression of being fairly active. There’s a lot of areas on the map you could fit a home city for them, and I strongly suspect one in the Sea of Sorrows or Strait of Malchor if they indeed come alongside tengu. Maybe even the Far Shiverpeaks, but that seems a fair bit less likely.
