Why pick human?

    ... Why? Why pick human as a race in the face of all these exotic new ones?

    Now, this is no reproach - My brain simply doesn't comprehend (I can construct some reasons, but I feel no direct empathy). For me, being anything BUT human is a MUST. Without an intricate reason, I'd never pick a human. So I am left to wonder ... What drives one to see humans as a potential first pick?

    Please do explain in detail what makes you become a human connoisseur. I'd greatly appreciate your input. :)

    I don't like playing as bizzare races in games. I like humans, the general hero in most stories.

    Self insert.
    Don't like the other races.
    There isn't a race I like.
    The other races are weird.
    I plan on making one of every race.
    It fits my character.
    I'm not making a human.
    I don't like the way the other races look.
    I'm on the fence about what race I want to make.
    I don't care what race I pick (If human is default).
    The race I want to play isn't in the game so I will play human.

    The last reason is my reason as bad as it is.

    Humans typically end up being the underdog when multiple races are concerned, thats why I always pick them.

    For me... they're the most romantically and sexually attractive. Though that doesn't amount to much in a game... they're the ones who I just know best.

    Because I am human? I hear people going on about immersion then say will play an Avian, last I checked I never met a person with a beak for a nose and feathers instead of hair. Wait, I stand corrected:

    I don't know though I probably will. I like their look and they are quite familiar. I really can't decide though because I also really like Floran too. In fact I like all the races apart from Apex and only because I really hated Planet of the Apes movie. Sorry! :boo:

    Also for roleplay reasons :)

    I mean, there are some people who always pick human no matter what game they play. It's just how it is.

    I'm not really sure why either though, to be honest.

    Maybe they'll have an interesting backstory. Other than that, one might like the design of their items, equipment and ships.

    Aesthetic/roleplay reasons. Some like to immerse themselves with characters and said character may be a human. And for the look of the ship or items you get from the race. They're humans, yes, but they're humans from the future and, from what I know, power armors and laser gattling guns are not in existing in the present time we live in... sadly.

    Some like the idea of being a human exploring an alien universe. Some like playing a character they can better identify with. Some just click the first option and go with it. Some like playing a character they'd f-.... er, nevermind.

    I guess people like to play with a race they're most familiar with.
    But that still doesn't change my pick...Glitch supremacy. hoo-hah:megusta:

    Uh, because Humans are the most realistic? We are uh... We're human. Why would you play another race? I mean, I find it way cooler to be a human/human experiencing the world first hand than some gross alien heretic unclean race.
