Minecraft unironically. Your characters are short and stocky and everything about the game is dwarf shit.

The original one you silly, not the space chud version.

Peak "human" is original Starcraft + Brood War. Its human factions together capture the expansionism and imperialism we are prone to, the coldness with which those above regard the rest, the conditions that creates, the willingness to fuck around with unknown or ignored consequences, and the drive for exploration, innovation and improvisation that inhabits us all. Adaptability, greed, rebellion, love, madness, and the desire for a better life are all present.

I'd argue Dying Light nailed zombies and their varying archetypes, paired with the human elements that create and worsen the zombie situation. If only they weren't fuckin bald and tricked by putting jam in your eyeballs...

Whyle they're not a definitive high elf implementation in the sense that it isn't really copied, I would argue the 40k Eldar are the absolute peak of elven aesthetics and one of the best fictional races when it comes to design across all games.
But Jes Goodwin left nuGW so there's naught but a vortex of shit left at the helm.

Dragons are diffidently a big omission from the list. And personal I like how they're in Gothic 2. This powerful mystical evil beings you have to slay.

Warhammer Fantasy has inferior elves of all variety from wood elves to high elves to dark elves, inferior lizardmen, inferior dwarves/duergar, and even inferior humans. On top of that, Warhammer Fantasy lacks real kobolds, and lacks any sort of giant that isn't just a scaled up retard ogre (who are also depicted in a way inferior to other forms of media).

the joke is the lack of, actually

Name any better lizardmen without taking into account the metanarative Great Plan bullshit, just assume the End Times aren't canon.
