I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.
If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.
The advantage of the dreamer is that he never has to face the chains of reality.

This thread is so off-topic.
Most of races in Star Wars DO NOT vary by a large degree. 95% of the sentient races appear humanoid. Most of those are just recolored humans, humans with extra/less feature ie they are just bald humans, or they have a tentacle. The SWTOR races ARE races that were in the movies. Not sure you think SWTOR's races some how go against the Star Wars universe when they are all canon.
On-topic
If you don't like Asura then you are racist!

I'll agree with some of the others here... as appealing as this game is, race options are not one of its strong points.
I made my Asura have the biggest ears as possible. I love it.

What's your point? I never said that Asura or Greys are NOT humanoid. My point here is merely that they're still extremely distinct from humans.
Take a look at the body structure, and you'd see what I mean.
Asura heads = larger
Asura necks = thinner
Asura chests = smaller
Asura midriff = wider and rounder
Asura legs = squatter and thicker
Asura feet = wider, completely different shape all around
Asura forearms = thicker and longer
Asura shoulders = scrawnier, moreso to match the chest
Point being that Gnomes and Dwarves are truly humans with stunted growth. Asura are something else entirely, even if they are humanoid.

Not to mention eyes - both in the shape, and the fact that they have no iris. Shape of the torso. Shape of the legs. Shape of the head is even quite a bit different, though that's mostly tied to the head crest thing.

Everybody seems to just want to argue semantics - maybe it's because it's ONLY when you argue semantics you're able to sound smart and make other people sound dumb? You must enjoy trying to find ways to raise yourself on a pedestal and put other people down. Lucky doesn't even have a response to me saying that I see nothing human in Charr, other than to go on insulting me, like he does every time he posts.
Otherwise you'd actually try to be arguing everything and actually making salient points, instead of just arguing semantics and insulting everybody you can. Because I've brought up numerous other points that everybody is just plain ignoring.
If you're complaining about Norn being unimaginative? I get it. They're just giant humans. Most people are disappointed in this.
If you're complaining about Sylvari being unimaginative? I really don't get it. They're humanoid, sure, but they're still plant people, with a really unique culture and outlook on life. Plus, I've never seen another fantasy race like them. I've seen plant monsters galore. I've seen people dressing themselves up with plants. But plant people? Haven't seen it. They're different, or at least different enough.
If you're complaining about Asura being unimaginative? I really don't get it. Said it already: Unlike gnomes and dwarves, they aren't humans with stunted growth. They're something entirely different. Their inspiration is Dragonlance gnomes - except their inventions work. But that's where the similarities with gnomes end, entirely. Asura are a work of brilliance.
If you're complaining about Charr being unimaginative? I think you're officially insane. Yeah, we've seen "beastmen" before, but not like this. I mean, for one thing, they're not people with cat ears attached. And they're not people that magically turn into beasts. They're actually a race designed from the ground up to appears as though they followed their own evolutionary path, more similar to felines than people.

Your entire wall isn't proving your point at all.

I've quoted this, twice, so I know full well what it means. The problem here is that I'm actually following with the definition, and other people are imagining up on their own just how "human-like" is enough to fit it.

So you're telling me that you didn't read it, because it's too long. I never said Asura are not humanoid. Hence, I have bluntly told you that your argument of what I'm arguing is wrong, because I never once argued it.

The dance is the only redeeming thing about this race.
Best dance I've seen in an mmorpg.
Also, it's a very well-made race. I cant help but feel other races dont have as much depth and quality as the asura. I not only speak model-wise.
I like them, I used to hate them, but now I can live with them. I might roll one on smallest size as mesmer for lols just to mess around with people.
