yeah, I think self-inserting in RPGs is super gay, but you don't have to play humans that way and that seems to be what both pro and anti human posters are talking about.
So many "humans are boring" people just make exotic race characters that are just as boring and uncreative as generic self-inserts, except with a tendency to be even bigger spotlight-hogs.
i like genasi type races that are just humans with weird elemental aesthetics, like a dude with volcanic cracks in igneous rock looking skin. only NWN2 has them as far as I know and the customization options aren't that grand.
If you aren't picking human it's because they have made all the races you can pick already human with some quirk. And this is why fantasy is shit. It's not fantasy, it's just humans with different shapes.
I enjoy settings where elves and dwarfs and such are truly alien to humans and their thinking and morals are pretty foreign.
Like if you are an ancient race that lives for hundreds of years that might be on the brink of extinction might change a lot of things (and a different lineage from humans to boot.)
D&D is the worst in this where they are humans with sharp ears.
Maybe the problem is that the different races of humans are just skin colours not actual races, or that they don't set another world culture as the default for humans instead of medieval western european
The people who think picking human is boring are the types who make fricking tumblr-tier TT characters like a half-elf half-dryad Lawful Evil Ranger with heterochromia (actual example from a person I've had at my table) and their personalities don't go beyond the vague identity of their race-class combo.
Because humans in fantasy settings have the best RP oppurtunities and the best self insert. They make the best imperalists/genocidal/lawful/divine justice/Barb etc characters. What do you RP as a elf? A homosexual mage or archer? Dwarf? A craftsman/warrior? Thiefling? A rogue or discount demon/succubus because the game doesn't let you play as them?
Most games have so many gameplay restrictions that they never do any of these other races justice or make them truly unique. They're literally humans with different stats. Frick that.
Elves protagonists are boring, they only work as villains, anti-villains, and foils. And as an autist, I'm too self-aware to go Dwarf. So, what, pick a gimmick OC race with +5 to Dex, -3 to Con, -3 to Int, enhanced night vision and communal shit-eating?
>Picks an oh-so-creative nonhuman race >Proceeds to roleplay as a human with a handful of stereotypical surface-level traits, none of which drastically interfere with the character's ability to seamlessly integrate into a human-centric society >9/10 times the nonhuman race is some dimensionless monoculture with nothing even close to the richness of history and diversity of the real world human race, because aesthetics are inevitably the top priority in its design >Even if you're trying to immerse in something truly unique and alien to humankind, you'll still be drawing constant comparisons to humanity to validate the differences as interesting.
Here's a fun experiment when you're making your next "creative" D&D character or whatever: describe everything about your character without mentioning their race or appearance to anyone, and see if they can guess that you're not a human. If not, you might as well (and should) be playing a human instead.
Special snowflake morons who think anyone gives a frick about their garbage DnD OC's gay backstory. Meanwhile humanchads just make themselves ingame or close to it.
I roleplay as a Christian earth-boy isekai-ed into the setting in all my games, which is possibly the most creative choice you can possibly make relative to conventional fantasy settings
why are physical attributes what matter to you most for roleplaying? Humans with different coloured skin or irrelevant animal parts probably come from completely different cultures within the setting.
>Humans with different coloured skin or irrelevant animal parts probably come from completely different cultures within the setting.
They literally never do, though. Because having actually different cultures and behaviors for the different races requires
A: more investment into rulebooks and lore books which creates a barrier to entry for new cash cows
B: risk putting the players at odds with each other which goes against the nu-audiences goals of safe low-investment wish fulfillment
C: would require acknowledging that cultures are not morally or ethically equal which is directly against the globohomosexual political narrative. See the "evil races are inherently bad writing" cope.

Now you're talking about different shit. Yeah I think that stuff is stupid. WotC is definitely pandering to those types.

Human usually is the uncreative choice. Too many settings just make them generic humans who have no culture or really anything that makes humans human. Settings that actually put in the effort to make humans interesting I will always pick humans. LOTRO and Total War: Warhammer I always roll human. Warcraft I will pick literally anything else.

Depends on how humans fit in. If they are, for example, 0 magic but have the best tech and I roll an engineer, I'd rather be human. If it's an archer who is stealthy, I'd rather be an elf.

Modern WoW of Warcraft is a terrible game with almost no redeeming qualities. But, I will admit that WoW's race choices were top notch (at least up until Blizzard became a diversity program).
I've never picked a human in any game ever unless it is the only option. If there is no other options and a character creator I try to morph it into a green goblin with long ears.
No, youre still in a fantasy world surrounded by weirdness and can shoot magic out of your eyes. Playing as human is nothing to ashamed of, now stop being triggered for being called out on it.
playable nonhuman races in games are literally always just a human culture with funny ears and skin color. the truly 'nonhuman' races are the unplayable antagonists
Humans are based and that's why I play games that let me play as humans and slaughter elves, demons, undead, and other freakshit. WE ARE SIGMAR'S HEIRS!
For 90% of people who play RPGs the most outlandish and unrealistic thing they can imagine is “what if I wasn’t lame” and that’s the character they make.

If you are not able to make a Human interesting then you do not deserve any other race.

People who play the race, not a character, cannot understand how humans can be interesting as they make yet another "quirky" kenku or firbolg.
