I prefer Sword/Sword to Axe/Axe. I seem to do much better with the swords. With the axes, I will still usually win, but my health will be much lower than when I use the swords. Don’t know why, though.
Ok. But that wouldn’t explain why humans are just as strong as a Norn.
Anyway, I just think it would have been better if each race had its strengths and weaknesses (like DDO for example).
Unfortunately, there is no way to roleplay their strength. In game, if a Norn was to arm wrestle an Asuran, neither would be able to win.
I have 4 Asuran characters and 1 Norn. As an Asuran, I would be perfectly fine with them being the physically weakest and it having an effect in the game, as long as their very high intelligence also had an effect. I would have much preferred each race have their advantages and disadvantages. It would have been more interesting.
But most of all, I can’t possibly imagine an Asuran arm wrestling a Norn to a draw!
