Humans are great.
I like my human Wizard with 9 / 14 / 14 / 16 / 14 / 12. I like to be good at many different things and have saves that don't suck.
It's a role playing game people. And combat is so easy and exploitable you don't need to milk every little bonus ability and min / max anyway.
I agree. As someone who looks at stats as a shorthand description of my character, as well as gameplay enablers, I find Sin Tee's build videos useful sources of information, but the prospect of my party leader being of below average intelligence and likeability because her class requires dexterity and wisdom is just not on. Combat bonuses are only one reason to play a particular race. That said, I really look forward to the implementation of stat rolling which may make it easier for folks to make the character they want to play.
