i don't think norway is so experienced in handling these sorts of stuff. have you seen their prisons? they look even better than my house! really shows how rare crimes happening there.

 

Spoiler

That's.............. a prison?

Oh I know. I just hate what they chose to do with the Aurin specifically - by contrast, I agree that Chuas are completely badass. Totally going to be making at least one Chua. 

As far as as class-race restrictions go, I believe you can already see the available races under each individual class tab, no? Of course Wildstar's in beta, so who knows if those'll be permanent. A Chua Stalker (for example) seems like it'd be hilariously fun to play, but alas, it does not exist. 

Most of the other non-human races do all look pretty damn fantastic. Especially the aforementioned space zombies and mechanized assassins. 
 

Never intended to use this thread again, but I find I'm still interested in RPG/MMO type games.

Actually, Wildstar looked kinda cool.

It's made by the same developer that makes Guild Wars, as well as Lineage (for the old school crowd ) and NCSoft is usually pretty good.

I think the best feature (besides some truly unique intro/teaser/hype videos) is the fact that you can choose both your class and your play style. Thus "Warrior" is a class and determines skill set like normal, but "Soldier" is a "Path" which determines what sort of quests you'll receive from NPCs.

It seems like a very inventive way of spicing up the old combos.

A group of gaming buddies and I have actually been talking at length about moving over to Wildstar when it comes out. 

Thematically it looks amazing. Besides that though, I'm also pretty excited about the Path system (can't wait to be an Explorer! Now people can't fault me for being an incredibly easily distracted, "ooh look at the shinies" leveler anymore - there's a role specifically made for it! .-.) and the PVP. Have you watched any of the livestreams? The class animations/combat are looking gorgeous.

....The only thing I really, really don't like so far is how the Aurin race looks (playboy bunny-people do not belong in any self-respecting game, much less a sci-fi MMO  ) but eh. Some of the other races look cool enough to make up for it I suppose. 

I want to get my hands on a beta key, arrrrrgh. Q2 2014 is such a long ways away. Q_Q

Congrats to everyone, and kudos to Kordelia for putting together a great contest! There were so many amazing entries it was really difficult figuring out who to vote for. o.O
