What is everyone favourite culture in Harkovast so far and why? And what is your least favourite and why?
And then argue with people who post a different opinion on here to yours! Prove them wrong! Fighting on the internet for the WIN!

I like Zadakines and Golta. They're weasels and badgers, that should be enough.
I guess I just think their cultures are interesting, and the Golta have guns, and the Zadakines have badass magical assassins.

You like the Ano-Chee too, Renard, admit it. And not just because they're foxes... Veth is too fun. Veth might not embody everything that an average Ano-Chee might expect (she's less prudish), but she's cool and fun and crazy in a good way. Unlike, um, Flowers Bloom, who was crazy in a bad way.
I do like the Ivos, because Romans are awesome and interesting. But they've got so much wrong with their culture and morality.
The Eslum are amazing, I love those guys. Ellenette was a bit of a foray into their general direction, and I love the heavy armour and greatswords. I'd play her again if she wasn't dead.
The Zadakine are neat. But their morality is not quite my cup of tea, as pretty as they can be.
I like the Brorg-Dao too, I suppose.
Those I don't particularly care for:
The Tolpish. Little explanation needed. Then again, maybe that is more the Knarl than the Tolpish, but I've yet to see Knarl. Dormlee was nice though.
The Tahmus are unpleasant.
Who else? Hmm... Tsung-Dao are alright. Not my cup of tea though.
I MIGHT like the Galdrasai and Levengroust. But I'm not all that certain.

Levengroust might prove interesting.
I forgot to mention the races I didn't like before, but they're the same ones Canuovea doesn't like, Tolpish and Tahmus.

This thread is racist.

Yes...yes it is.
The Tahmus get no love!
With the Tolpish I can see why they might rub people the wrong way since they are controlled by brutal a military dictatorship, but I'm surpsised the Tahmus are so loathed!
I thought everyone liked spartans?
Canuovea I was surprised you didn't mention Tendu in the races you dislike.

Not too keen on the Al-Saigal either.

Why not? They've got stripes, names with "Al" in it, curvy swords...what more do you want???

"Did you see those warriors from Hammerfell? They have curved swords. Curved. Swords."
I liked Dormlee though. But the general Tolpish culture puts me off. Same with the Tahmus. I never particularly cared for the Spartans, not as interesting as some of the others.
Tendu are, actually, alright now. I don't care for some of the excessive decadence, but they're less violent than most. The Sais... are generally alright.

It's their culture, I just don't like it.
Stripes are overrated anyway, and the Junlocks, Zadakine, Anzlov, and Golta have curved swords as well.

Exodus, who played Hahman in the rpg, loves Tolpish. He thinks they are awesome.
They are survivors, who value toughness and the ability to endure.

But they are pretty similar to the Darsai culture in a lot of ways, and you don't mind them renard! Its like desert darsai!

Well... I'm not particularly fond of Darsai actually, but I simply don't like the Al-Saigal, they're just unpleasant. They have similarities to the Darsai, but those similarities (homophobia, sexism, in-your-face attitude towards religion) to an extreme.
In fact, the Darsai don't seem like the kind of people to pry into other's business or personal affairs, or insist that their way of living is somehow superior to that of other races, while the Al-Saigal we've met have been quite clear that they look down on pretty much everyone else for being "immoral", and they do strike me as the kind of people who would pry into someone's personal affairs if they thought the person was doing something that they felt was wrong.
Of course there are differences too, most of which seems to stem from their own (and particularly hardline) views of Thane and religion.
