I tend to stick to playing either a human or an elf in most MMO's, though there's a few exceptions here and there. The elves in this game aren't terrible, but I prefer my elves to be a lot grittier and distinct in both their culture and appearance (to a lesser extent) without simply feeling as though they're just humans with long ears. Try as I might, I just can't see myself playing a roegadyn. Even if it isn't intentional they simply come across as being larger than average humans which tends to be my issue with many of the 'big' and 'small' races across numerous MMO's. I found the norn of GW2 to be appealing in terms of their culture, but their representation in the game itself just came across as a tad too goofy and out of proportion for my tastes.
