What are the most interesting video game races?

I thought halflings were just hobbits.

midgets

Orcs with guns, preferably the pig variety

I thought halflings was just the fantasy term for mutt, where they're usually half human and half some other race.

It's a concept made up by the author. Come on, have some imagination.

Halfling as legally-distinct hobbits because the creators were afraid of getting sued by the Tolkien estate if they called them hobbits
>>
>>738550035
they're free to make up any kind of race they want but it seems stupid to completely change something while keeping the same name

Eminently fuckable.
>>
>>738550035
It's a fun concept, but it is confusing when the author uses a name for the fantasy race, that people already have an idea in their head what that name is.
Should have called it a "shapeling" or something instead.

Also that's one hell of a horse tail to be made into a thick braid like that. How does she even braid it?

Based, but for me it's Deuyivans, same as above
>>
>>738550035
the portrayal suggests they start off as ordinary humanoids, but actually are some sort of fae shapeshifters, but then treat that existence like selecting a vocation
>>
>>738550121
Well I'm sorry but Halflings are honestly the shittiest race.
>Oh they're short people
And?
>... They're short people!

Nobody plays as a fucking halfling, nobody gives a shit. Even IRL halflings like the fucking latinos at least have the cultural aspects of thuggish bravado, peacocking, and flaying people alive for shock value.
>UM BUT THEY DON'T WEAR SHOES THAT'S CULTURAL
The fucking Stoor Hobbits DO wear shoes.

There is literally nothing lost by someone trying to make Halflings interesting.

>>738550157
Asian.
Nothing is funnier than watching an Asian who grew up in the hood trying to act like he's anything but an even gayer version of a wigger.
>>
>>738549535
big shitbrick house race that is extremely intelligent and peaceful
>>
>>738549886
Oh, guess they really are midgets. I always thought they were an excuse to have a mix of diluted racial bonuses while suffering from negative social/charisma checks because of their impurity.
>>
>>738550121
>>738550213
But literally everything does that. Tolkien reimagined elves and dwarves since they had tons of conflicting stories about them, D&D halflings don't have pointy ears but the lithe (not portly) gnomes do (and Pathfinder is the opposite), Warhammer made orcs green, Final Fantasy elves are tall, dark, strong and clumsy, One Piece dwarves are cute tiny nature-loving people with pointy noses and fluffy tails - this is normal.
>>
>>738549735
Dopplers?
>>738549535
Designed a race that can live on a jupiter 10. This must be how god feels.
>>
>>738549886
Halflings are a Tolkien creation. And they are just called 'halflings' because they are half the size of humans, not for any other reason. That's the origin. Same thing in Dungeons and Dragons.

Some fantasy authors have made 'halfling' a term for a half-human half-something. Which was the case in the Sword of Shannara series I believe. But that isn't the general case.

No don't do that. The name sounding good is more important than whether it's "correct". That's how you get "early griffin gets the worm" bullshit. It's not how languages work.

Any ideas for a playable gnoll race?

>>738549535
Anything that isn't yet another human look-alike that thinks, acts, and has similar culture to humans.

>>738553439
>>738553459
It's just slop.
>>
>>738551227
Sword of Shannara ruined it by making it a far future post-apocalyptic Earth, based on its ties to Knight of the Word series. And this from a fuck who liked both series.
>>
>>738553545
Anbennar has cool playable gnolls but theyre unredeemably evil 99% of the time
>>
>>738549535
This is a pretty cool concept and an interesting twist on the usual 'halflings love to wander so they're literally everywhere as minorities' thing. I like it.
>>
>>738553545
Spotted hyenas IRL have powerful jaws and digestive acids to devour anything. Gnolls can consume magical items 'raw' (Meat from slain monster or tonics) to gain their power, with some drawbacks. The gnoll meta would be a mana substance abuser.
>>
>>738554098
Shannara series was just way too obviously based on Lord of the Rings. I didn't really care that not-Gandalf found a bunch of compact discs because at least that wasn't something that happened in LotR.

Any games with actual rpg stuff like this? Preferably with not hyper real retard graphics like baldursshit3
>>
>>738554492
In some ways yes, but Elves aren't nearly as long-lived or all-knowing and "angel-like" in Shannara and in fact are more of the D&D woodsie motherfuckers. Also at least Shannara and Knight of the Word are willing to have bad shit happen to main characters and the world at large constantly. Does get old when it all goes post-apocalyptic in the Knight of the Word books. Also almost no one that isn't the not-Gandalf and demons have proper access to magic.
