I think that the Exo and Awoken were both originally Human but altered in some way. If we look at their names they aren't very much like a name a different species would have. Awoken suggests that certain Humans were awoken in some magical way (possibly by the Traveller or a scientific alteration) while Exo is in reference to "outside" which could be more of a super soldier take by having an exo-suit of armour like an exoskeleton that cannot be removed.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I took a paragraph out of your mouth? I'm talented.

That you are.

Most likely human mutations. Exo = tank, more likely to be Titan bonus Awoken = mage, Warlock bonus Human = rouge, Hunter bonus It might not work like that and I'm sure that we will be able to play an awoken tank or hunter too but I think it'll be like borderlands. Each character has a predisposition to certain weapons but a bit of grinding can over-ride that
-
I was thinking it might be something along those lines as well but I think Bungie might take it in a different direction. Maybe something similar to Skyrim in how each character gets their own personal bonus/ability (not always for weapons) and is still able to use any of the play styles (aka a Breton doesn't have to be a mage nor a Wood Elf has to be an archer).

They did say that they or would be playing a female robot and a warlock robot, robots don't have gender. Suggesting a hybrid or cyborg build.
-
Or maybe there will be a fourth race that actually is a robot (it could obviously just be the Exo). I think that there are going to be more than three races and classes like Vanguard.

This is how I saw it as well when watching the video. They're just human derivatives.

Exactly, their names and the minimal appearance of them that we have seen say and show it all.
-
Like they said, they didn't want one look or person (Master Chief), something they couldn't do I Halo. Human or a variation to give some variety to the main theme.

It should be a very interesting game.
-
Agree, from game play to the visual. I think we are in for a treat.
-
Not to mention the worlds we will explore and all of their secrets.

Hope to meet you some where in that open expanse. I'll be the one wondering around just looking(mic on, "look at the sun rays"), throw something at me so I don't get killed.
