Of all the races in GW2 none of them, to me anyway, look as good as the bear-like kodan!
With all the official statements made about them by A-Net you would think that they would be a playable race. They have a very extensive history that they have posted on the official Wiki; including such things as an in-depth account of thier creation, and a very extensive look into thier belief system along with a basic understanding of thier cultural structure. Not to mention the architecture and armor styles of this race are extremely baddass.
Now, I have never played the original GW game so there are few questions I would like to ask:
-Was this race even in the original game?
-If they have made this much background about this one race, why not let us be able to actually play them?
-For those of you you have played the original GW game, is this race something that you all like? Or feel that it is something they just threw at you?
Personally I hope this race gets added into the game at some point for me to actually play one. I just hope they don't pull a 'Blizzard' and add them in them game then just forget about them; not with all this information and background they have made for them. And what I mean by saying "pulling a Blizzard" is like when Bliz added the Arakkoa and the Ethereals into the game, created some really cool backstories, then just left them all to rot in the Outlands...
Anyway, here are some links directly to the information related to the Kodan on thier official Wiki:
