I really like to play my own race. The thing is, this game is so rich with the other races and I feel like I’m missing out. My question is this: other than the personal storylines that are set in the character creation screen, are there any race specific PSs that I may miss because I like my own kind? TY in advance.

My main character is human because I like the home map area and the look. However, I have played Norn, Asura and Sylvari up to around lvl 20.

I can tell you that the experience is very different. Not only are the Personal stories considerably different but the entire culture feels different.

I would recommend starting with human and just test out a few of the other races. The culture of the Asura race is really cute and humorous. I hated the Sylvari cities. They were beautiful but so complex to navigate. Norn is very humanish but all snowy.

Personally, I’ve stuck with Norn. I’ve even brought my new toons over to the Norn areas to level up. The city I hate most is actually Rata Sum. I fell threw the hole at the bottom of the city and took about 12,000 damage.

On my level 2 Asura.

The hell are you talking about? His name is Schadenfreude without the vowels.

OP, missing out is a question of taste. Sylvari storylines are somewhat serious and also emotional. Asura storylines are along the mad genius line with a lot of snark. Norn storylines are centered around proving yourself, and also sometimes funny. I haven’t played much Charr yet, but I think they’re all somewhat military-themed and about the companionship with your warband. So if you really like any of these things, then yes, you’re missing out. If not, then you aren’t.

ROFL, but you can’t deny the conversations in the Asura areas are so funny. The Asurans aren’t much for personal safety with their Thermonulclear reactors and dangerous experiments.

OPs name looks like a condensed “schadenfreude” to me. Just sayin’.

And as for if you’re missing out… I’d have to say “of course !” If you like stories and interesting characters, that is. If you don’t care about that element of the game, probably not so much.

I only play humans and norns. Play what you like. I tried the other races and didn’t like any of them either, for what its worth.

No you’re not missing out.
I’ve tried all the races and eventually came back to Humans.
I now have 8 Humans, 1 for each profession with no regrets.

I play as few humans as possible. I made one just out of obligation and can’t motivate myself to even try him.

I prefer not to play humans in a game, I see them everyday! I stick with Norn, I love having tattoos and the hair choices. All female human faces look like a little girl, no matter how much I change (imo).

As far as missing out, I think really it’s only the personal story. You can go to each city and do all the quests to experience the race.

psst, Asura, Asura, Asura

I’ve tried all races, really tried hard…but keep deleting and making Asura’s. Everyone is different and has their own personal preferences, but there is just something about these little ones that are a blast for me to play.

On the falling note, well, I can tell you it is (or at least was) possible to go over the edge of Rata Sum….the landing, well, more a splat. How can a lvl 3 endure 60k+ damage? They can’t and the screams she made on the way down, well, now if I hop off a fence she screams with the memories. Best fall damage I’ve accomplished so far.

The only reason I don’t play a human female toon is that the models are so small compared to Norn females. Norn women are just so big and Amazon-like.
