Hey guys,
I'm just curious to see what your favourite race is and why. So far the announced races are:

Charr
Sylvari
Asura
Human
Norn

For me:
Charr- they can act as a effective and specialised war machine, when and if there is a casualty the Charr fight on stronger and more savagely than before.

Charr or Norn - I like my Warrior primary

Can't really see an Asura Warrior, be a tad pathetic

I'm going with Sylvari and/or Asura. I really like spellcasters so I think both of those fit nicely.

The Asura cause theyre small and smart
I like small races...

Though depending on how gayish the Sylvari turn out to be, or if they dont end up like metrosexuals like the WoW Night Elves did, they might be my favorite also.

Yeah, intimidating. You know what they say, big things come in small packages (dynamite, etc.).

Hard to say SINCE WE DON'T KNOW anything about them more than the little we have been told so far. It's like asking what planet in the next galaxy you would like to live on.

Even though we haven't seen 1 yet, seeing the concept art was enough for me. They look interesting

Human, or Charr.

If different races possess different effects and/or restrictions to certain professions, I wouldn't be happy though.

Norn/Charr seem quite similar in aptitude, expect rivalry in the Warrior department between those two... wonder what the effective difference will be if anything.

Anyway I'm sticking to Human, although I'll try the Sylvari too.

Sylvari - kinda mysterious and (sorry)elf-ish
Asura - smart, witty, little, the perfect squishy
Human - go go balanced class
Charr/Norn - I dont see any difference in these two besides the skin. and i dont need more big doofy tank things

No its not anything like that. We know a great deal about the Asura, Norn and Charr especially. We have interacted closely with all three in EotN.
To be perfectly honest the only race that we know diddley about is Sylvari.

Ahaha that'd be hilarious if Anet decided to make the Centaur race with an inherent bonus that gave them +20 inventory slots. Then they really would be the mule race.

I imagine female charr to look like Lionesses do to Lions, slender, cleaner fur and very very quick, possibley more intelligent, but im not a feline expert

But I agree, charr have a quality, possibley loyalty, that you HAVE to admire.
CHARR FTW
