I just can't do it..anyone else?

I can't do it; just because they're so bulky.
If they were to introduce a smaller, slimmer model for them I could.

I can't play halflings either. Too weird of a head shape and running.

Add Warforged Scout please.

Turbine didn't create the warforged, Wizards of the Coast did for the Eberron campaign setting.

Interestingly enought this isn't entirely true. The one who invented Warforged didn't work for WotC, he entered a "Design a Setting" contest where the winnins steeing was guarenteed to be published. The Setting proved to be so popular that is lived past the guarenteed publishe material into a fully supported product line.

The Eberron exclusive races (including WF) were popular enough to be made core in the 'Races of Eberron' book.

It probably doesn't help any that you play with someone who exclusively plays Warforged.

That is right, I'll admit it, I have problems when I am NOT playing a Warforged.

Agreed. I only have 2 WF characters, but I play Priam waaay more than any of my other toons combined (possibly exception being my halfling Ranger/Rogue). Maybe it's because I'm a lanky, pale-skinned D&D nerd IRL, but I really like being a bad*** sentient golem with a sword longer than most others are tall.

I've been playing PnP for a long time too, but I've always been a fan of golems, elementals, undead, and any other big scary looking things I can have following me around. So it was a smaller jump from that to actually playing said big scary looking thing as a main character. In fact WF was one of my main reasons for trying DDO.

My first introduction to D&D was thumbing through the Monster Manual after having the gist of the game explained to me saying "Ooh, this looks cool. Can I be this?" "No, you can't be a mudman." "What about this?" *points to Death Knight* *DM takes book in frustration, pages through it and hands it back* "These are player races" "What?! Why would I want to be a midget?"

To this day I'm still an advocate of monsters as player characters in my own games. (And I have yet to play a Dwarf or a Halfling in 20 years of playing. A few gnomes though, just for the whole crazy inventor factor.)
