I will never understand the people who choose to play a generic human when there are other options in a game.
More immersive because I can relate to a human instead of a red demon furry
Speak for yourself
Macron is a tiefling 🤔
Yes, this. If I ever play it, I'm gonna play a human peasant, maybe a herbalist/druid if I feel spicy
What kind of total fucking weirdo would relate to a human
But there's a red demon furry inside you and she's just waiting to be let out.
I guess that's why I never choose humans. I can be a human anytime I want in real life. I play games to experience imaginative stuff.
I mean, everyone has their preference of course and you should play how you want. No shade.
human is usually a solid choice mechanically, esp in d&d, and as a matter of course tend to have the most varied customization options (sure there may be horns for your tiefling, but maybe only a choice of 3 or they're locked to hairstyle etc)
not saying that's the case here mind, but those are some reasons beyond a committment to being boring
Humans in BG3 seem to be bad. Variant Human (the one that let you take a feat at level 1) is the reason 5e Human is strong, and that's not an option in BG3; instead you just get one extra skill proficiency along with polearms, shields, and light armor (which, lmao). You also miss out on darkvision which may or may not matter (I don't know as I run a full darkvision party).
Because they want to make themselves or something less crazy? I really don't understand why everyone has to be a tabaxi, aaracokra, changeling etc nowadays. I like being a human or halfelf
In paper & pen RPGs I tend to design goofy personalities and attach them to boring standard race options. My friend who has been a part of the same group for 20 years loves taking pretty standard personalities and adapting them to fit the most bugshit insane race options he can find. We have had a lot of interactions where I - playing as a character that looks like the white guy from a diversity poster - go off on some rant about how I worship the concept of lies and illusions, and how I have written an entire manifesto about how all titles and human relations are manifestations of the holy concept of the ultimate lie, while my friend - playing as an entire swarm of 3" tall shadow goblins, with each hit point having an individual 1930s gangster name - looks for the most noncommital social democrat answer in the world. It's a good dynamic.
I still can't find any excuse to make a human look this boring in a video game though.
Fair enough, that sounds fun
