[Suggestions] New Playable Races
This might be better off in the discussion section for future reference but while I’m here may as well post lol.
Kodan:
I will admit this is a fun idea and I can appreciate the sentiment but these guys are just far to close to norn to be considered truly viable for a new playable race. Not to mention the struggle to make armor fit on them and it would also seem that they don’t have a whole lot of spellcasters, being a primarily warrior based society.
Centaur:
[Insert joke about mounts here]. Lol that aside the centaur race will likely never come to pass for a number of reasons. For one overall they are a belligerent race with a fierce hatred for humans after years of war and enslavement and much of the race now fights fiercely in an effort to reclaim the land lost to the humans. As of recently with Jormag awakening and pushing other races out even further the centaurs have also come into contact with the norn and the results were as expected, they soon started fighting as well. I will say that there are peaceful tribes of Centaurs as well and that in many ways they are similar to the charr who also had a fierce hate for humans however I still don’t see it happening, especially with what they’d have to do to armor to make it work.
Ogres:
An overall tribal and primitive race, they simply don’t seem to have the capacity to be anything other than a slightly smarter more belligerent form of animals.
Dwarves:
While the dwarves could have potentially been playable I believe it to be rather unlikely now as ever since they turned themselves into stone and went to fight Primordus no ones really seen much of them since. Maybe when we finally kill Primordus if they return to their normal forms it would be possible but not in its current state.
Tengu:
Okay now lets take a look at the sentient avian race known as the tengu, the most viable option. Note that I say the most viable not because this race is my favorite or even because I want to see them added but because its the most feasible of all the potential races. Unlike many of the other races often suggested Tengu are seen throughout GW1 and GW2, have their own sophisticated version of society, contain classes that include warriors and spellcasters, and are probably the easiest to apply the current armor choices to. They already have a platform from which to go off of in that they’ve sealed themselves off from most other cultures after a rocky history with humans and have recently begun to venture out more now that the elder dragons have risen, helping in the charge against Zhaitan. Despite this they are still rather xenophobic at the moment but their lore is set that they could emerge at any time.
