I usually Master rather than play, but when I do, I tend to pick a Dwarf because I love being a grumpy short bearded guy who ruins every good moment with his bad mood.

My last character has been a halfling wizzard. The build is horrendous but the RPing is golden. He is a paranoid mitherfucker who is convinced there is a plot from a secret covenant of necromancers and tends to believe random people in the game world is part of it. He is the sort of pain-in-the-ass character that will cast a fireball that catches 5 kobolds and the NPC that is guiding you through the dungeon because he is sure the guide is a necromancer in disguise.

But yeah, politics is getting so bad in gaming that you may as well skip any new content from any middle or big publisher. They have built this whole critical character theory according to which Orcs are an alegory of black people and that is the reason why your gameworld should have good orcs instead of bad ones...
