Awakened Citizen as a Playable race

[Vavume.8065]

Never seen these guys before, they could easily be made into a playable race, I've always wanted some undead characters, I will buy 9 more character slots for these guys!

In terms of developments costs, that's an advantage: no new armor to design.

In terms of everything else, there's no advantage: either ANet gives the "new race" short shrift by leaving out the personal story/starter map(s)/etc or they have to spend the same resources that go into living story, but just on one race. The first case isn't meaningfully different from offering more makeover designers (or more options upon character creation) and the second, according to ANet, is a non-starter (that is: they have plenty going on maintaining the current pace of living world).

I find it hard as in they’re dead and would not fit the human story (starting part).

 

Also what about other races? Between the armor design and in-game representation there is enough human favoritism in this game.

We need more dead content... wait

They should make more awakened tonics, or one that can transform in any awakened foe like the mystery branded tonic.
