[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6556455, member: 2067"] Aside from having a doofy-sounding name, I've got no problem with the dragonborn as they are in 5e or as they appeared in 4e (and their presence in 3e always felt like a bit of a tacked-on weirdness). Some folks aren't comfy with the less humanoid PC races, though. And some edition war PTSD runs deep. Dragon PC's weren't in everyone's campaign, after all. Thanks!

It might also be unreasonable in terms of gameplay time....there's a LOT of things to experience. Players would find out about the possible "unlockables" because these would be features of adventures - maybe there's orcs attacking the borderlands and if the party grabs this plot hook and go investigate it they can unlock the Barbarian class and the Half-orc race because there is a half-orc barbarian who is chief of his tribe that you can ally with to bring down the orc assault.
