WAR : Races?

[Molley]

Whatcha thinking?

[Molley]

mmmm...3 chaos votes.

I know it seems too early to tell (we don't know classes and we havent seen screenies and all that) but when I picked my character for DAoC, I didn't research jack! Ab told me about the 3 sides, we agreed on which one sounded good and boom, there we were.

I don't know when choosing sides got so complicated. Ignorance ended up being bliss.

In just reading about the races, I am all about Chaos!


If Bretonnia had been in game, I would be all about that. Then this post from the VN boards made me realize why I wanted it and why it probably wasn't in the game:

Prediction: Why Bretonnia wasn't included at launch and (imo) won't be seen for a long, long time

To many exact connections folks:

Warhammer Bretonnia:

-The Lady of the Lake
-The Holy Grail
-The Green Knight
-Paladins
-Men at Arms
-Trebuchets
-Morgiana The Fay Enchantress


Dark Age of Camelot:

-The Lady of the Lake
-The Holy Grail
-The Green Knight
-Paladins
-Armsmen
-Trebuchets
-Morgana Le Fay


Now most of us here know that W.A.R isn't, ever was, or ever will be DAoC 2. The ignorant masses, however, could very much think that and might just get a little confused if you could be a Knight who has held the Holy Grail and been in the presence of the Lady of the Lake! Don't get me wrong, Bretonnia and DAoC are both awesome. Bretonnia, especially, has hardly any fantasy elements and really is about as mediaeval as you can get....more or less straight out of the history books and well...from Le Morte d'Arthur (The original King Arthur story as we know him today). It is my guess and prediction that we (sadly) won't be seeing those proud/arrogant and unmatched French knights in W.A.R anytime soon.

oooOOOOohhhhh

Yeah, I figured I'd see what everyone is thinking now, then again closer to release, see how we change our minds, or not.

[Wrasse]

I dig the dwarves but know little to nothing about the lore and am more interested in the classes I can play.

[Zeli]

Ya, Ab's the same way Tal.

but the info on chaos has him interested and I think the goblins shaman have peaked his interest at the momment.

[Wrasse]

Yea, the Shamans look pretty cool.

I know Jen will want to be evil because she seems to enjoy poking fun at the 'goody goody' races. I see her choosing dark elf...and some kind of 'nuke the crap out of everything' class.

[Winin]

Probably a gobblin, since they are the closest thing to a gnome, and I'm now biased towards shorties. I can get into just about anything, but there are usually too many elves around.

[Molley]

You must be tall in RL...cuz if you were short, you'd hate a short toon. /nod

[Winin]

Yep. 6'1". But my novels stars a gnome, so I'm in the gnomish mindset these days.
