Preferred to play as Human or Non-Human?

Human all the way

In fantasy/sc-fi games, I often find myself wanting to represent mankind who tends to be the underdogs with most gamers flocking to the more badass species.

Although, on the few occasions when the humans are heavily armed & overpowered, I feel the urge to crawl out of a ventilation shaft and rip the smug faces off those arrogant jerks. :)

I'm more like the elf kinda guy

If I'm staring at the main character for the entire duration of the game, she better be attractive!

I almost always prefer to play human. I really miss Mass Effect games too :/

Seemingly most will choose Human-ish over the others, unless Non-Human have better stats, or better story, hah.

Kindly yiff in hell.

When I play a game, I want to identify with the character. Being as close to human is the best means of doing so, if there is such an option. Otherwise, if I'm forced to choose between characters with which I do not identify, I will opt for the one which best represents me or my intended role in the game. This only really applies on my first run or character, though. Thereafter, I experiment with the other classes or races or roles and explore their unique characteristics. The initial character is always the ideal of myself, though.

It depends a lot on my mood. While I usually find it easier to identify with a human-ish character than a very non-human one, I still think it can be an interesting experience to play something very different. So I can't really vote (as long as I don't have to play a stinking elf).

Usually non-human, because it helps for immersion and escapism purposes. Truth be told, I do tend to create quite a few characters before I 'settle' on one.

I didn't like to use Human races a time ago, but them Skyrim come, I only played with Khajiits, but them I fell in love with Nords, and now I only play Human races sigh

I think this poll is not well thought out, I prefer fantasy creatures like elves or orcs first, but I'd rather play a human than a furry.
