Oread or Kitsune?

[Ger]

Humans, Elves, and Dwarves bore me to tears. I like exotic unique-looking races like Kitsune and Oreads. I'm really considering Oread because we have a Kitsune party member and advisor, but Kitsune has a nicer racial feat for my melee character.

Do Oreads have any nice perks or interactions in game specific to their race? The racial feats I saw weren't that great.

To my knowledge, apart from small mentions in dialogues ("hey you are aasimar like me" ...) races make no real difference in quests or world interaction.

There is one specific archetype for each race.

I got a unique crusade event based on the fact that my MC was a Kitsune. So there's that.

[Soft Lockpick]

Oread because you don't want to be a furvert.

[Brian Sirith]

I’ve had 4 dhampir specific dialog options in half the game. So I’m assuming there aren’t many of those for any race.

Oreads look better than Kitsune :)

Though I’m very anti-Kitsune so the above opinion is prejudiced

[Anri of Astora]

I would take literally anything over a boulder-head.

Thanks for replies. I guess I'll go for the Vulpine Pounce.

The headband of Alluring Charisma is showing on my Kitsune form. Make sure you do not have "SHOW CLASS EQUIPMENT" checked in the inventory screen. I don't remember switching it on for my character but it was. When I turned it off, the headband shows.

Apparently, the Kitsune shapeshifting is having some conflict with the Mythic Path transformations, particularly in regards to Dragon. I would say hold off on the sexy foxes, until another patch or two rolls around.

That being said, their shapeshifting does benefit from Master Shapeshifter, since it's a polymorph effect. Which means you get a Mythic boost to your Strength, Dexterity and Constitution whenever you're in human form.

who needs master shapeshifter, when you can be a walking mountain of rock

If you're talking about getting mercenaries from your specific race, I think everybody does that at some point.

I've gotten unique mercenaries from being a Half Orc, an Oread, a Gnome and an Aasimar.

And I got it as an elf. It was kinda disappointing, since it's a grand total of 2 people in the unit.
