[quote=Llengrath][quote=williams85] Its not about making meaningful choices, it's about making though choices.
That is well said.
If all races were exactly the same, then it doesn't matter which one you play as, because your decision will only affect your appearance (which none of the NPCs will appreciate) and few dialogues (which you can still bypass using spells and items that temporarily change your race). In that case, such a choice of race is without significant consequences. But the fact that races are different in many ways gives our decisions a certain justification and meaning. Personally, I think the differences are not big enough and could be bigger, but I'm definitely glad they're there.
I find it ridiculous that some people would complain that the huge muscular almost half-beast that are half-orcs have more natural physical strength than the tiny and civilized halflings.
