First of all, I am sorry for any spelling mistakes, english is not my primary language! And this is my first post so be gentle! Thanks! So I wanted to start a topic about something that actually bothered me since Day One of Destiny. As I created my new character, there I was in a huge dilemma between which race I should pick. I was comparing their looks and stuff, thought the Awoken looked a bit too much fabulous but could still be looking badass with some customisation, so I thought: why not! But then I asked myself, what is the point of picking up Awoken instead of Human and Exo...? What's the difference? Besides looking Fab or like a robot? Sadly, the answer was: None. Little comparaison here, there I was, staring at my screen, realizing I had the choice between 3 Iphones with differents colors, instead of an Iphone, android and blackberry. Why didn't Bungie thought about this? Every race should have multiple perks unique to their race! Otherwise there is no point at all! Most other RPG with distincts races do this! It's common sense that an alien race should have an advantage or a disadvantage over another race! I want a reason for making a Hunter Awoken instead of a Hunter Human! for example: Awoken could have a 5%+ increased accuracy with sniper rifles or 15% increased reload speed on Handguns. But receive more 10% more damage from melee due to their fragile fabulous bodies. Exo start off with an initial +50 strenght and have a buff that can enhance their armor by 50% for 15 seconds (3 mins cooldown). Picking up a defender Exo Titan would actually make sense now. etc... I think you get the point! Otherwise, I don't get why they aren't all Humans since all of them start from the exact same pile of bones. It would actually make more sense that way that we all start from Earth rather than having my character act all surprised when it's time to meet the Awoken when's he's actually one of them! Each race should start off at different planets with differents "Race outposts" and the Tower is this big place where everyone join up. I love this game but it could be just so much more. Do you have any other suggestions about how the races could be different one from another besides just the looks? Any perks ideas? Thanks for reading! EDIT #1: Oh and any thoughts on raid/vanguard/crucible/ironbanner additionnals perks depending on how much piece of the set you have on? That would allow some nice depth to the game I think. EDIT#2: Thank you guys for the many answers! I'm actually surprised and glad this topic got that much attention! I just keep hoping that Bungie will follow the footsteps of GREAT RPGs such as WoW/Elders Scrolls/Dragon Age etc and learn from them.
