Half-lings? Why on Middle-Earth would anyone want to play a hobbit?! The eternal march of the undead ftw!
Natural rogues they kind of are I can imagine their racial move ability... Slink, lets them pass through (under xd) allies and enemies when moving
I feel like I will be a minority here but I voted Draconic. Looking at Total’s play at PAX makes me wonder how they could balance that out. Or looking forward (like with a telescope since beta hasn’t even made its long awaited debut) the start of a new game mode? Player on the defense as a dragon boss with creeps at their command? PVP dungeon maps with one player as dragon with creeps and the other with their hero deck?
Well i dont mean be a DRAGON, just a humanoid dragon, or lizard man type. IF they had wings they might be overpowered with basic flight movement skills, but who knows
I figured that you didn’t mean it literally, but as soon as i saw it i thought of Myrrh from the Fire Emblem series. That was probably my first real turn based strategy experience so maybe i am just being a bit nostalgic.
Why dont you just vote for Bone Golem and kill two birds with one stone eh? Or vote Dwarf ! They're beard golems.
I don't really think race is going to matter much in the game. Maybe a little... but not much. So I don't really care what races they give us so long as they aren't stupid ones; Sasquatch, Unicorn, Chupa-thingy, etc.
Not really. I suppose if I was going to make any suggestion at all it would be to make them distinctly different. Don't worry about sub-races and the like. If we have elves we don't need dark elves etc. Gnomes or Halflings would be an alright choices but for a truly different option from the poll I think Orc would probably be the best. Unless of course the developers want to keep Orcs as a strictly NPC race which would make sense. But I think it would be in their best interest to not only stay "classical" but also keep it simple. Perhaps I am just picky but I generally dislike it when games throw in a bunch of bizarre races.
I like undead usually but I feel like adding an undead to the hero roster would be kinda..... inappropriate. Perhaps later they could add like a necromancer class? Or maybe just some kind of summoner who could make zombies and or skeletons?
Construct and Undead might be iffy due to..well, how would a priest heal a robot? or a zombie for that matter, it usually burns them. A race that fits within the current theme and skill set would probably be best.
this is true. you could give the construct some kind of like self-repair skill? Maybe it would have to go into stasis in order to do so but can't be healed by priests that way it doesn't make the priest obsolete? Or of course if they could always make it some kind of summon and give the summoner some kind of heal that can only be used on his minions.
