I feel like people that make characters look like themselves are often the same people that, when presented a sci-fi or fantasy setting with multiple races to choose from, choose human. Boring. But, to each their own. Some just like the idea of making things look like themselves to achieve immersion, which I can understand.

I pick the race that gives me the best bonuses for the class I want to play as, then customize them to look the most like me while still retaining what makes them their race. Best bang for the buck as far as gameplay is concerned, but probably boring as far as actual role playing.

I personally like making the races look drastically different than what they are supposed to. I made a buff wood elf that had the face that made me think of a evil person of nobility. he just had this regal look to him. I also made a female orc that was as close to good looking as physically possible. I did that one though just because it seemed like a challenge to do and I was bored. think I spent like 45 minutes or better working on that face. i've actually created a lot of characters and actually ended up not playing them. was just having fun with the customization of the characters.
