Which currently non-playable race would you play?

[Deleted]

Hypothetical scenario: Blizzard says that they developed a tech through which they can make all intelligent races in WoW lore playable, all armours fits them, they can ride mounts etc.

Characters of which race would you roll? (this is not a "what race do you want" thread, in this scenario all of the races are playable and you're rolling a character).

P.S.: I used the most known races, if you want another write in comments as I couldn't fit even half.

[Al Gorefiend]

Vrykul and Ethereal being my biggest requests.

Naga, Ogre, Hozen and Arakkoa I wouldn't mind, though I doubt Naga will ever happen

Everything else is laughable.

[FertsBlert]

For me it would be Ogre, Imp, Draknoid and Nerubians any of these I wold roll cheerfully.

[Exodeus]

Arrakoa and Ethereal top of my list.

[Putin-Chan]

I'd play the shit out of a hozen/furbolg/arakkoa/vrykrul shaman.

If I had to choose one though, I'd go furbolg, I'd get to be a lighting shooting bear without jiggling every time i moved, but then again I'd love arakkoa...

I'd go with:

Furbolg shaman

Arakkoa priest

Vrykrul warrior

Hozen monk(ey)

[Blithe]

Ogre maybe. It's always felt like it should've been a Horde race.

I wouldn't play anything else though; all the races I grew up with from Warcraft I and II that make sense being playable characters are playable. I think it'd stop feeling like World of Warcraft if I suddenly started seeing Arakkoa, Furbolgs, Murlocs, or Naga in my raids or battleground's. They're far too neutral to be faction-specific, I don't see the point of adding another neutral faction (unless it makes complete sense), and there are already plenty of other races that need coverage before we continue to add more.

Worgen were the only race I didn't see coming because they're not depicted in Warcraft I, II, or III and very mildly explored upon pre-Cataclysm. None of the lore would've seen them as a playable race, but everything else was pretty obvious.

For me, a shorter list would be "What wouldn't you play?".

Wouldn't play:

Furbolg-
They just look too stupid.

Drakonid-
I've never seen a Drakonid and thought, "Wow, that looks cool".

Succubus/Incubbus-
Not unless we got a Mesmer-type class at some point.

Erredar-
Male Draenei are the ugliest things in Warcraft existence. Why would I want to play as a red one?

Gnoll-
It would be cool to run around as Hogger for a day, but the novelty would wear off quickly.

Quillboar-
Annoying pig race. Don't care.

Owlbear-
Meh, no thanks.

Arakkoa (the "pure" ones or w/e) and Ethereal would be the ones I'd want the most.

Lore-wise, I'm still surprised that Ogre isn't a playable race.

[Crackleslap]

Always wanted Etheral as an Alliance race, but i doubt it'll ever happen! :P

[jellmoo]

This list needs more TUSKARR!

[Lime]

This list needs more TUSKARR!

Needs more Saurok.

[Breccia]

You no take kobold!

[Cooper]

No take candle!

[Scorched2Black]

Would have voted Satyr or Pygmy

[Yattz]

They could have soo brought in the Naga as a playable race for Legion to go with the whole Illidan thing - aww
Id play the shit outta that. I cant picture them as anything other than warriors, mages, hunters, Priests and Shaman.... Maybe DKs....Hmn....

[Crimewave]

Alliance High Elves.

[Tijuana]

Why are High Elves on the list? They are not racially different from Blood Elves, including the long long lost Legion ones.

[Lady Dragonheart]

Alliance High Elves.

Most definitely.

[Kokolums]

Satyr are at the top of my list and not even listed?

[In Ogres We Trust]

Arakkoa
High Elf
Hozen
Jinyu
Naga
Ogre

[Adoxe]

Always wanted Etheral as an Alliance race, but i doubt it'll ever happen! :P

If they were to add Ethereal, they'd be neutral. Ethereal are just like Gnomes/Goblins when it comes to technology and we already have 1 of those on each side so giving Alliance/Horde a technology boost in the lore wouldn't be a smart idea by making Ethereals one-sided. They have lore to support 2 separate groups of them (Protectorate and Ethereum).
