In regards to being able to select your race...
You can play as any race, true, but what separates Humas from Drengin other than fur and some awesome background music?
If I play as the Drengin, will I find that other races are predisposed to give in to my bullying tactics? If I play as the Altarians, will I start off as "good"?
Will choosing a race be more like choosing a political party in Galciv 1?
Will the fixed races allow any customization (choose a race, take the racial abilities, and then augment them with 10 skill points ala Galciv1), or will they be set in stone?
- Nobody
Not that this matters... I'll play my "custom race" option every time...
