Going hard on the base racial tropes to make the core races feel more separated from humanity.For example, I always pondered a race age system where old races get more starting skills in but young races get bonus skills as the level up or age. And ancient races like elves get bonuses to skills they are proficient in and penalty to other skills.  So elven culture ends up being eras behind in looks and values as elven elders are litterally born in another era and idolize dead but close family members born 1000 years ago. Like humanity is in the high middle ages but the elves are still rocking the Early Classical era looks and debates.  And the dwarves think the elves are old fashioned but still idolize their old empire long after it fell.</blockquote>
