It seems that you're playtesting SWGO, too :) I tend to do the same
as you. I always play a human character if available, even if I try
out other races as well just to see how they are in the game, but I
always resort to human when playing a character for a long time.

For me it's that I usually feel more confortable playing what I'm
already used to. Being a male is something I'm used to, but
impersonating a woman, even if it can be fascinating at times, is
not something I would do well. I would sound more like a Xena-like
character.. a woman with muscles :)
