Every time people lament changes to the lore that amount to “not every member of species X is irredeemably evil” and claim the game is removing villains from it, I think how villains of so-caleld evil species fall into two cathegories: a) bland and boring and b)have something else, unrelated to their species going on for them, that makes them interesting.
But keeping “race” means that people have issues because of what they are (their genome) and not who they are?
I don’t get the point. But I have also to admit that I am from Europ and just using the word race for humans is… strangely feeling wrong. So I coukd be me.
