so, according to you, the freedom of choice only applies to class, and not say, whatever a player wants to choose in the game? so really the developers meant freedom of class choice. interesting.

and your right, i was making an assumption when i said racials won't play a large role, but this assumption was informed by my experience playing MMO's, and I know that class balancing is actually a very hard thing to pull off and no matter how many revisions are made to a particular class, you can't satisfy everyone. now imagine if in addition to class balances they also had to make racial ones as well? even in oblivion and skyrim, the racial abilities never made a huge difference in how you played, in part because they didn't want any one race to feel like it was superior just because of its racial abilities. remember, your also making an assumption that they will be important and you have not played the game either, so as it stands, we are both wrong to justify our own speculation being more correct than the other, its just silly to argue that way since we can't prove it.
