I want to fuck that snek.
Fuck Xenoblade X for this
There were a shitton of races, all of which have some presence in your military, but a grand total of 3 of your 19 party members are aliens, and they're all a unique race from everything else

People like you are why people always insist on making everyone a black person in modern video games.

I personally think that Final Fantasy XII would have been massively improved if in the beginning when Vaan sets out that instead of Penelo going with him the foster parent lizard Migelo went instead to watch after Vaan and had some sort of alchemy class.

All the time i play as a white, blond-haired male. The rest of the Team is some human/dwarf mix.

I'd play a party of random woodland critters working together to painstakingly solve simple, completely mundane problems like fixing a shed or filing a tax report.
>>386931076
Who the fuck plays an RPG to minmax. Whatever, I'll beat the fucking game with a handicap or just mod it out.

Why would you want subhumans in your party?
>>386936046
so then you have something to beat the living shit out of when you can't find any badguys to kill

>What's the fucking point?
Actual role playing. You see this game? It's one of the best RPGs ever made. You know what it does during character creation to your party? It sets all of your party member races to Human and you can't do shit about it.
Races are gimmicks, if they don't carry role playing consequences in RPGs and roleplaying consequences can be achieved in ways other than giving the play the ability to choose from a shitload of races, so having a shitload of races is not a really a requirement for a good RPG.
Personally, I always play humans.
>>386936547
do you know if there is more with snek?
I just salvaged this one from /gif/

I know anatomy goes out the window in porn, but putting the pussy there on a naga/lamia just seems so awkward and dumb.

is that true though, quick googling (kek) reaveals it is not the case really, it is a bit lower but not at the tail
>>386936671
>The tits dont bother you?
No, I like tits.
>where her holesupposed to be anatomy-wise? you seem knowledgeable...
Somewhere near the end of the tail, if it's a snake. Just having it like that would make naga-sex way more dynamic.
>>386936594
>Races are gimmicks
Fuck that. I want racial clashes to actually mean something.
>>386928082
>new race
>it's just human with a different skin color, a different head, or fused with an animal
stop with this shit
>>386936551
The game has:

>human (w/ tail)
>human (w/ pointy ears)
>human (burning)
>humanoid robot
>human (w/ wings)
>human (armor)
If it can wear boots and grab a stick it's shit.

>>the main character is a human
We've been over this.
You can't make a strange race that is nothing like a human be played by a human.
That's why shit like dwarves, elves and shit are so common as playable races. They're just humans with slight variations.
Self-Insert, i guess. Nothing wrong with that, my dude. I only got triggered if the other races are bad guys for no fucking reason.
>>386928194
3? Are you counting Tatsu or I missed somebody?
So far the only xenos are L and Celica.
>>386937195
You can, its been done before and they should do it again. Mordern devs are just too fucking lazy to put in the extra work for proper lore, worldbuilding, animations, etc.
Different races are just a way to exclude People of Colour from video games.
>>386937195
You CAN do it if you're even half of a competent writer. Humans are capable of empathizing with anything, it's one of the very things that actually makes us human you fucking turd. You just have to write something that is human enough to empathize with, and all that fucking takes is making it sentient with some degree of culture.
>>386928082
Sup
>>386937195
What?
There are lots of games where you play as animals/not human-like creatures
>>386937546
another large problem is most modern 'gamers' almost fanatical obsessions with "realism"
they don't want to be able to play as non-human fantasy Races or even have them in the game as anything other than enemies because its "unrealistic"

Human is the default because from there you can add on truely magical shit, also a human who obtains ultimate power and transforms into monsters like liches or demon infused monsters or mutated alchemical abominations is much more fun then 'lol im a snek'

this everyone wants to fuck that birds
>>386939859

>>386937679
>>386937959
slimes, tentacle abominations, entities made of pure energy, etc.
>>386936873
The human form is ideal my dude, how are you going to have civilized non-animalistic races that look like beasts without a humanoid form?
>>386936461
pls recommend me a good rpg with races that's not elder scrolls
Only rpgs I player were Witcher 2,3, Skyrim, Dragon Age origins and possibly something else I don't remember
>>386939473
>>386931408
They did announce a Redwall game
>>386928194
AAAAAAH
I miss Breath of Fire a little more, every time I see threads like these.
>>386937371Elma
>>386940105
desu I think they're talking about animalistic humans where they're designed enough to be considered attractive for people for fap bait instead of actually being unique.
>>386928082
There are several RPGs where you don't play as humanoids.
>>386937679
>>386937906
>>386937959
Isn't this some multiplayer/online only thing? Like it's a server instead of a mod?
What animal race you wish was shown off more often? Bird race for me.

good luck killing your budget just animating them with the same amount of animations as a playable character
>>386941291
>Combat starts

>Switch them all out to their regular weapons
Such a good game.
>>386928146
>rig multiple non-humanoid models
>make a set of animations for each model
>make multiple versions of each armor, so it fits on every model
>make sure that every gameplay element works with every model, or make workarounds if it doesn't
That sounds inexpensive and easily feasible.

All of those are possible with just humans, it's just harder to write than copying overused tropes and giving them a twist which is 90% of rpg writing now.
>>386937679

Wow I wonder why developers aren't doing this shit for real.

>>386942525

Are you retarded?
>>386928082
Because I have yet to find a game with playable races that aren't literal reskins - where are the major dialogue and/or gameplay pros/cons other than a stat boost and the occasional quip about a nonconforming party member? That shit gets more boring than a party full of humans
>>386937679
>>386937906
>>386937959
Okay but real is this available for singleplayer or what
>>386942808

Final Fantasy XII was a big offender. The entire fucking world is full of different races, but you get exactly one Viera in your party and Moogles are just a mail delivery system. Good luck trying to recruit a Seeq or a Bangaa, because this party is otherwise human-solo.
>>386928485
Breath of Fire was a nice series.
>>386943170
Way to dodge the question, retard.
>>386928082
Basically. It's pretty much the reason why you never get really weird out there kind of games - because you still need to actually sell the product and most people want familiar shit. Fans of X like to think everyone is tired of X, but that's just them because they've played everything under the sun. RPGs in particular seem to suffer from this with their fanbase.
