Ive just been playing recently and realized, the races don't actually do anything for you, like you may look different with your helmet off, but they are essentially just for looks, there are no added benefits for choosing certain races. I feel like there should be some kind of specific additives to the races, FOR EXAMPLE: Awoken should have special dialogue or extra dialogue with the awoken at the reef, considering they are essentially "family", the humans should have extra dialogue with the civilians at the tower, considering they are too as close to "family" as there is for the humans. As for exo's, I'm not really sure, i feel like there isn't a lot to do with exo's, i don't think they have enough story or background to go very far, id really like to see maybe more to do with exo's, or perhaps the exo stranger.
Another thing i think would be good is specific resistances to certain damages or something similar, like exo's should be more resistant to ark, as they are electronics in themselves, humans should gain some kind of boost to overall stats when on earth maybe? because of that being their home planet, and awoken, well the awoken seem to be more of a magic based race, they are almost imbued? with magic, as was shown in the attempt to blow up the Dreadnaught in the taken king expansions Phobos mission opening cinematic. I feel liek maybe their super should recharge slightly faster, or perhaps when using void based items and weaponry, deal more damage, considering that void damage is an energy that does not exist in the real world.
These are all just brainstormed ideas, i just simply would like to see more done with the races, i feel as if they are worth nothing but looks in the long run, and need to be expanded on for the future, (^_^)

To be honest, I never even noticed the things you just brought up. I've been playing this game since The Dark Below, and I didn't even [i]notice[/i] that there was nothing special about choosing a race.

Reef born awoken apparently don't consider Earth born "one of them" because they see them as traitors. But I suppose extra dialogue doesn't have to be friendly. I like the idea.
