Let's see, in fantasy settings, if there's a game that you have a choice to choose to play between Human (Human, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Human-Look) and Non-Human (Furry, Anthro, Animal, Goblin, Orc, Alien, Monster). Assumed they same or different stats or skill, with or without lore/story, both have GA, etc. Which one you will choose?

Something like,
Skyrim, which will you choose between Khajiit, Argonian or other human races?
Evolved, assumed there same game play, which will you choose Human or Monster?
World of Warcraft, Alliance (Draenei excluded), or Horde (Blood Elf and Undead excluded)?
Mass Effect, Human or other Aliens?
etc...

I thinking about choosing a theme for my game, I lean toward non-human though, but I want to see majority's choice as well. ;P

I'm ashamed to admit that when it comes to games am a munchkin. I'll chose the race/class combination that lets me max out the stats i want.

Really it depends, if there are different stats then I will normally go for the one that lets me choose the interesting stats that work with my gameplay. However, I do normally choose humanesque characters if it is purely cosmetic. I guess it also depends on how non-human they are. Something slightly different is more interesting, or something hugely different (If I had to choose between a human or Cthulu, you have 3 guesses which is cooler)

Human, always.

I'm a sucker for making attractive characters (male and female) and to me, that means humanoid. I don't really care about having the BESTEVA stats (I did a ridiculous amount of theorycrafting, agonising over stat distribution and abilities when I was winning cash from MMOs, so I'm pretty burnt out by it). If I want to feel more powerful in games, I can just turn the difficulty down.

Don't care about stats nor if it's human or non-human...

I don't really like weird looking mofos. So I would go with humanoid looking races. I m all about tall redheads.

Khajiit :D
Depends on the other races, i like both ways: to play as an exotic race to really go deep into the fantasy world, but also to play as a human, to play like i would be this person.

Human, always. It has always bothered me that I couldn't be a human Druid in WoW (at the time I played WoW that is)...

It depends on whichever race seems most interesting in specific game. And that's why I never pick human as my race in any game. Humanoid is ok, plain human - nah.

Skyrim I'm Nord, but in next Elder Scrolls I will make a Khajit,

In WoW most time I played as Human Warlock, but I also played as female Night Elf too, I also liked playing as Tauren Druid, and female Blood Elf, but for this 2 just dedicated little time. But in WoW imo Night Elves aren't like humans, Blood Elves are more like Humans. But if I play WoW again I would make a Night Elf druid female, Undead warrior male, Troll druid male, I may try Panda too, but just try, I'm not interested in playing as Panda at all, I just never played as him.

I choose "non-human", because I dedicated too much time to "Human like" races playing video games.

Lore-wise, Night Elves is non-human, but still too human-ish to me.

Most games have human as majority main character/race after all, so I'm, not surprise about 'too much time', hah.

If the stats or playstyle dont go -completely- against what I want to do (I do make small changes if needed) I will give preference to anyone and anything that resembles cats, because cats are awesome :x That is as long as it doesent look completely horrible to me aswell of course, because one thing I dont want to have to do while playing games is look at the backside of something I hate the look of :x

Depends on the games.I normally lean more towards non-human races because, for me, they are much more interesting to explore/use, while human normally has a "standard" behaviour.
