I certainly don't want any race perks. Being forced to play a certain race to get its advantages takes away from people's willingness to create their own favorite character. That being said, the races currently don't serve much of any purpose. The are technically for cosmetic purposes, but seeing as you never see your character outside of their armor except for in the tower where they lose the helmet, the aesthetic reason is kind of thrown out the window. If anything, the biggest deciding factor of which race you should choose would be either the voice you want, or the dance moves you want. and boy, dance moves change A LOT depending on race and sex.
