[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8491383, member: 7032025"] Because, apart from a few "race-haters", lots of players like the idea of non-human races to play with, even if it's not technically powerful or influential, because it's a standard trope of fantasy and people like characters from movies/shows/books. And if there is a huge feeling that they are core to the experience, they are not sacred cows. :p In any case, I still fail to see how an experience without them would be richer and more varied because of it. They are just an additional possibility, and furthermore one that you can play to extremely varied degree. If you want to play only humans, the game already offers this. But I suspect that there is a lot of hypocrisy at the core of it, because from what I read on the forums, people are extremely happy with Tasha because they can enjoy the technical benefits of some races (mountain dwarf, tortle, etc.) without feeling that they are gimping the perfect scores of their build. So whether for technical reasons or for roleplaying ones, they are really part of the core. [/QUOTE]
