        Johnson from Halo and Prophet form Crysis, however, the anon you're replaying to doesn't care about making a character just a virtue signal. Or worse it's some kind of fetish.
        Such a person would almost certainly trend-chase instead of making a good game. Or worse they would try to twist an existing IP and ruin what is and what could've been due to being too lazy to make something from the ground up.
        I'm pretty tired of fellow dark skin people and even those who aren't doing this crap and whining about representation to the point of messing with existing series, because then it messes with the stuff I enjoy.

      That's what the vast majority of custom player characters are made like though, and that's a problem.
      In TESO more people rolled orcs than redguards, and orcs are very very far down the list of played races.

      Don't be disingenous. This is a racism thing.

          >what spectrum of choices
          Playing as anything that exists between a human and a cardboard box, not just a human or a cardboard box. Most people don't want to play as a gelatinous blob or a horse. It's cool that you want to, but most people want to be able to speak English and wear armor and stuff.
          >is just human but with X, your pic is just midgets
          Tarus do not look like midgets. They have large eyes, pointy ears, button noses and child-like faces. They look more like teddy bears.

    Humans and elves are the closest thing to a blank slate so everyone is going to pick them. If you look at that chart the more niche races overwhelmingly favor one or two classes that the race favors over everything else. I don't have a solution besides making elves and humans similar to other races, which turns the whole game into just picking the obvious race for whatever class you want to play, or making the niche races less niche which lessens their already small appeal.

      This armor is overdesigned, should lose the chest part, and the armor on the forearms. If the point is to have full mobility, that needs to be unrestricted.

    overwhelmingly often, especially when there are romantic options, players will want to make characters they can identify with or relate to. Often they make an idealized form of themselves. Most players are white and male and relate more to humans than the others.

    How to solve it? Expand the audience and make more minorities play the game than majority groups. Alternatively, make the non humans more interesting, relatable than the humans. A nuclear option is to remove human characters altogether.

    Devs don't actually care about this shit, and only point it out for brownie points from social justice groups.
