Orcs and some viking-type culture (probably Elvaan) are from the Northern continent. West and East are now mapped out, though far East is not accessible. There\\\\'s no room in the lore for a new race, and no room in the design.

Monstrosity is going to be the closest we get, as monster appearance doesn\\\\'t change with equipment/instincts.
See that\\'s exactly the kind of thing I expect one of the developers to say, technical issues would prevent it and that a new race doesn\\'t "fit" into the geography of the storyline. BUT I say if they changed so much of the game already there\\'s certainly a way for them to squeeze in a new race. And trying to use the PS2 as a crutch is a cop out if it really holds the game back that much then the monthly updates should be making them all completely fritz out....and if your PS2s ARE fritzing out then it\\'s by far too late to try to stop the train now.
