I don't know about anybody else, but I think it's a great idea.
I was chatting with a freind on msn, who said he had played AoT. He said (besides suggesting males, but I figure there's already been a lot of topics about that) how he thought the game would improve to see non-human/elf characters being played besides as a enemy/npc.
I was thinking about this for a while, and figured I liked the idea.
Playing as an Orc.
Maybe you could test it out by using the default Orc model used for the enemy version, then if people take to the idea, a new (better) model could be introduced.
What do other people think?
