Guild Wars 2

Quaggan is amazing. Quaggan loves me! Quaggan wants to be a playable race. Coo!

(Seriously though, you made amazing races like quaggans, koda and tengu, please make them all playable. I’ll pay if I have to. Pretty please!)

Quaggan really likes this idea, although Quaggan thinks they won’t do it. Poo…

Skritt… I’d play a skritt in an instant just to hear my character say stuff…

It would be challenging for certain races to be playable, mostly due to varying the armor designs and giving them believable stories and lip syncing with their voices. But it’s doable.

Tengu
Koda
Quaggan
Skritt
Hylek

All of these are great races with tons of originality and heaps of potential to be playable in an expansion. While Tengu and Koda are at the top of my list, I love all of the ones I listed. I know it seems a bit…strange to be attracted to rat people but I find the Skritt to be extremely cute. The problem with them is that they’re only intelligent in large groups. This could be solved with a proper backstory though. Maybe have a large city of Skritt uncover a spell or magical object that lets them keep their heightened intelligence even when separated or something.

I would want to at least try playing as one. Would probably get tired of waddling around all the time (and it seems like that can’t run?). Skritt would probably more fun, as long as they keep the voice(s) about the same.

Quaggan thinks lip synching is not an issue, because Quaggan talked to many Tengu and other Quaggans and had no issues with it.

Okay, I’ll stop before someone hates me. :P But yeah, there are plenty of those NPCs in cinematics. For me the biggest issue would be that they’d need whole storylines for it. And the races you can help were designed to be secondary characters, it seems. And there is no longer a big Quaggan city since Jormag invaded the north and everyone began attacking them, they are scattered everywhere in small communities.

Plus Quaggans are a peaceful race. Sure they are fighting against the dragons because they have to, but still.

The Tengu remains the top of my list, it will remain there after I read about them in the Art book!

Would be really hard to animate them I think.

I’m down with these choices. Only drawback i see is where would the starting zones be?

Skritt > Quaggan

I don’t think quaggan,hylek, skritt, or grawl are as likely to ever be a playable option because their brains are sort of stuck at an early developmental stage. They’d have to break their character role to fit into storylines.

Koda and tengu I can see being playable.

I can understand the developmental stage when it comes to Skritt, Hylek, Grawl, Ogre and others. But Quaggans? They are very intelligent and civilized. They just aren’t very ambitious. They talk in a foolish way, but they are by no means foolish. They just don’t like to fight not to morph into their bestial forms.
