Loved the Norn enviros and storyline so far! I also have a biased love for anything involving old norse mythology etc.. In terms of profession, well, I'm really torn between Ranger and Engineer.
Tried out Sylvari and while it was fun to run around as a little mushroom headed leaf lover, I don't know if I'll be going there again.
I pretty much spent 80% of my time with my Asuran mesmer (which I gave the biggest, floppiest ears possible) jumping around and giggling at the run cycle... so that could be a possibility since I really didn't get a whole lot done storyline wise.
Played a human for all of 15 minutes before I went back to the Norn.

I voted for Human, mainly because, well, that's what you played in GW1 and I'd like to see how the story progresses from their point of view.
That said, I fully intend to immediately make the max number of characters. Assuming 5 total, I plan on rolling a Human necromancer, Human thief, Charr warior, Sylvari mesmer and Asura something, probably elementalist. If we get more slots, I'll throw a Norn in as well- covers all the bases. My GW1 main was a necromancer, so that's tentatively my GW2 main, but geez if there isn't an overwhelming amount of choice involved here. And all this indecision still comes after playing in no less than 2 BWE and 1 stress test.
I'll try to play every character at least to level 11 or so, but need to try and make a choice by then (hopefully something jumps out as the "funnest") otherwise I run into the problem I had in GW1: it took me forever to work through the game because I kept making new characters and trying them out, but never to the point of progressing anywhere.

I'm sorry, but all you non-Asurans must be smokin' crack. The Asura are obviously the superior race.
To wit:
- With our short stature, we Asura are more difficult to target in PvP
- Felicia Day (hot babe from "The Guild") is one of our leaders
- Cities built on cubes reminicent of the Borg from STtNG. And yes, you will be assimilated.
- The lovable E.T., Yoda, and Dobby were obviously Asuran
- House-trained, unlike the Charr
And the #1 reason....
- We are the only race with robots. Robots, I tell ya'! Granted that many of them malfunction and try to kill us, but hey, you can't have everything

I think the Asura are the best race. (Have to go with human as main because of the original.) I found them to be the funniest with how they view themselves above everyone else and just shouting, "My mobility is impaired!" or putting some other condition into terms that the other races wouldn't say. I lost it while working on personal story and Mr. Sparkles said something like, "Prepare to don the behind hat,".

All smoke and fire Charr report! We need to make a war band. My name is Slovo, and I am Blood Legion. I belong in the frey, in the face of the enemy, and I will conquer those who oppose me. If you'll have me, then you may use me as you see fit. HRRRAAAW! |
