Which species will you never play as ?

[urkuru]

I think, that Im going to skip most mammals... Not a fan of them. But it depends on their overall animations

 

[Alleykat]

Lots of people have said the Blorg - and I have to agree actually. I love them - but they are too much of a canon entity in my head now

the number 15... what the hell is that? some kind of bat? a goblin? unless they add the "vampire" trait probably will never touch those guys xD

Yes, it's a spacebat.

NANANANANANA, batmen!

Anything non-humanoid, everything else is not plausable.

The avians for me feel a bit samey (although mostly good looking) and no one really speaks to me yet, but I have a feeling that most of them will grow on me.

The mamalians probably has the most outright ugly ones, albeit some in a rather charming way.

Many reptilians are also rather meh.

I love all the molluscoids and all the fungoids and the arthropods have crabs (in a good way).

Winged monkeys from the Wizard of Oz. They pledge their loyalty only to heathens and heretics.

15 looks absolutely normal as an evolved bat

number 16 however has feathers... mammals don't have feathers

 

[Melian Erios]

If they add Pangolins then I can't possibly play as any other species.

The most zombie-looking bat ever, really ugly. I might play them, but only to be the most annoying race in space.

Molluscs and Fungoids look the best surprisingly and are very visually appealing. All the avian species and most of the mammallian spcies look awful and uninspiring.

I tend to agree with this. They look a little too fantasy for my taste (but its nice they are an option for everyone else). I look forward to picking up some modded portrait packs to help me make my game how I want the visuals to look, since I suspect a fair amount of portrait mods.

Hello !

Which species do you think you will never play as, because you think they are ugly, or something else ... ?

I don't think I'll ever play the slugs, I'm not really fond of them in real life, and it won't change in Stellaris ! (I mean, seriously, look at their face and their tiny arms, they are so weird)

Well, so, discuss if you think this thread is interesting.

(Godammit, it's hard to make a thread, 20 minutes to find the words ...)

Never? None, sadly. I'll probably have do humans for a couple achievement runs (though hopefully not).
As part of a real campaign, I'll avoid the worthless creatures like a plague.

Wait a minute... that anthropod on far right corner, top row. Isn't he from Monsters Inc. ?

haha that was my first impression too!

 

[Vratislav]

Any of the mammalian or avian species. Except human of course.

My best guess is that it's a ferengi.

 

[Orctavius]

I'm not that concerned with species portraits. Humans, birds, and squid things all play the same regardless of portrait.

What ethos to use is going to be a more challenging decision. I'm not sure that I'll ever want to play a collectivist species, at least based on Paradox's understanding of the word.

 

[Chuckles the Werewolf]

The only non-humanoids I wish to play as are space hogs, and they are not yet in the game.

WOT YOUZ TALKIN' BOUT!? WE PORKS IZ DA BESTEST! WE'S DA 'ARDEST, SHOOTIEST, KRUMPIEST, SHINIEST LADS IN ALLA SPACE! U JUS' DUN' KNOW IT YETZ, YA HEAR!

(But yeah, as much as time will allow, I'll try to play as many races as possible, but that won't be too many, since I like to run long games with civs. I might avoid some of the uglier ones... just the plain ugly ones though, there are obviously ugly races that are either cool or scary, but just rather... hideous.)

 

[CocoCincinnati]

There are a lot that I probably won't ever play just due to the sheer number of them. But if I had to pick a group that I will consciously avoid playing, it is probably the fungoid species, with all due respect to our Blorg friends.

 

[Walter Peck]

I don't like any of the Fungoid species.

The Blorg species looks like something my dog leaves in the backyard so no thanks.

Then there is the penis with genital warts Fungoid. Nope.

The mammal with the parasitic fungoid. Pass.
