Posts with tag choosing

Do racial abilities play a part in choosing your race?  Does the home city factor into your choice? Or does it come down to pure aesthetics when you are choosing?

I know some races offer preferential abilities for certain classes, for example; gnomes gain a 5% bonus to intellect, which is desirable for mages and warlocks.  Orcs on the other hand, gain a passive pet bonus and an active melee talent, more suited to hunters and warriors, in my opinion.

Perhaps the choice of faces or skin color plays a part? Maybe it is the wicked hair choices offered to the undead that draws your eye...

Which race do you prefer? What plays a factor in your choice?
