Exactly. I don't want a character who's personality and history only exist in my head. That completely defeats the purpose of playing a video game rather than a table top RPG.
Well to be fair it does work for TES but only because TES games don't emphasize character development, instead they opt for open ended gameplay but at the expense of narrative and character development. In a bioware game you need more a backstory because connecting with your protagonist is key in any bioware game.
Or, they could just forego wasting resources on SP and give us only MP. Then we can play as many non human heroes as we want.

As soon as you both show me a 20 min plat solo to prove you should be taken seriously. Until then, my opinions are superior.

Get ME:A for PC, I want to play with you. ^^
This one is tired of Bioware's solid excretions. This one wants to play as a Hanar. This one wants to have a gun in every tentacle and a lover in every port. This one wants to use the line "Enkindle this."
Elcor crewmate: Badassfully, I would be looking forward to this, despite being only three days from retirement.

How can I contaminate a thread full of filthy, unwashed peons who can't even get a 20 headshot medal?
This thread is stupid. SP is confirmed human only. Yet another sign of its inferiority to the paradise that is multiplayer.

You're right, it does work in a game that isn't focused on character development and narrative, but in Bioware game where all the other characters are so alive and vibrant, the protagonist being a glorified sock puppet is jarring and disconserting.
In your opinion. In contrast, a vast majority of people complained of the Inquistor sucking so you're wrong.
No, theres no "a vast majority of people complained of the Inquistor sucking".
Period.
I could only see this working with Batarians and Asari. it would take to much effort otherwise to do all the cinematics.
They already said that we play as human in SP. Ask for this is a wasting of time. I want play as Turian inSP, but its unproductive coming here to ask this over and over again.
the reason why the mass effect storyline excluding the ending in ME3 was so well done was because it was centered around 1 central character. You can't do that with a pick your own race type game.

Not even a page in and already someone claiming to represent a "vast majority."
Good show, BSN.

It's always the same people anyway

You're really good at this.
No. For crying out loud, how many threads do we have to have on this? We've been through it a dozen times. Multiple races requires more money spent on voice acting, money that would better be spent on the development of the game. This isn't Dragon Age where everyone speaks the same, with the same voice, it's an entirely different universe where people from different species speak in different ways and requires time and resources best used in other areas of development. And if you must post this tripe time and again, at least to it in the already existing thread which is here:

Say what you want about DA 2 but Hawke is arguably bioware's most entertaining protaginist and you can shape his/her personality in more ways than any other bioware protaginist (diplomatic, sarcastic, or aggressive) and that is due in large part because of how defined his/her background was. Shepard on the other hand is pure epic. So if anything Shepard and Hawke are arguments for the human only protagonist. Now don't get me wrong I am glad DA went back to racial options for a protagonist but ME is a different animal from DA and whatever protagonist options there are in ME have to fit with the story.
Them being that defined is what made me like them less. Bioware made a lot of assumptions about your character for you, despite constantly selling the "They are your character" lie.
Humanity #1
This, but having said that, the only non-human i'd want to play as is a Vorcha.
You're really good at this.
You should read QMR's posts in the MP forums.
Those of you who can...
Come with me, before it's too late!
I gave you a like since I'm a fan of Cary Grant.

I got carried by crashsuit on Platinum last night.
Does that count?

Everyone should. Great source of intellectual and spiritual enlightenment.

Only if you rekt him with an A-bomb, made fun of his failed romance with Biowermod02 and still took the haxed credits he showers (or used to) upon plebs.

They are still your character to a certain degree, you still determine their class, gender, playstyle, morality, etc... You can't have a totally open ended character without sacrificing narrative and character development.
