Back again,
So far still liking the game but still got more questions and observations.
1) Can you change the way you look or have a GM change the way you look after character creation.
So there I am in Ranger Land, staring at the list of available skills from the Trainer when all of a sudden I get this /tell. I like how a new window pops up for /tells. I just wish the windows were dockable so that they automatically attached to each other for easier placement. But I digress, there I was when this guy says to me, " *grins* I dont see many Tryker females out here..."
At first, I wanted to run to the bathroom and take a shower. Mix of Crying Game and Brokeback Mountain music playing in the background. But, I quickly regained my composure and sent him back a tell saying. "Yea no kidding, if you see one let me know!"
In EQ I played a Large Male Barb Shammy, in SWG a male Rodian that ranged from tall and fat to short and skinny, in WoW a large Tauren Shammy. In SoR, I figured if there is a chance at good PvP maybe a small race would be preferable? So I made a Tryker in hopes of keeping low profile and harder to target. It was NEVER, never..... did I say never to be hit on by another DUDE!
So again I pose the question of...uh Can I change how I look?
You might say, oh dont worry about it. It happens to all Trykers. Does it I dont know? But for some reason this reminds me of when I was working on my Jedi and was working on Image Designer. It was late late in the AM when I finished. But the funny thing was I had a line of guys 7 deep asking me if their toons looked better with Higher Cheek bones or a Shorter nose. Then again anything is funny at 5am.
So does this happen often to Tryker's or am I just lucky? From what I've read there are no true racial advantages, I can tell at least 1 disadvantage. But really are there any advantages/disadvantages for choosing different races, other than variety and possibly roleplay???
Are Cosmetics and Roleplay a big factor in this game?
