    ALL HUMANS!!

    They're not bestial, they're human.

    The game even references it at one point, but I can't even remember when...

    But sorry, we're not going to be getting anything much more than humans because of the way they have to build/skin the armor for a specific body type.
    AND IT'S ALL GOING TO BE HUMAN BODIES.

    If you want to play something like a minotaur or whatever, go back to Warcraft.
    Except they already have concept art for a more Demi human Aura and specifically said they went with the current design due to the fanbase probably not liking the older concepts. It's also already been stated but a good portion are fine with the humanoid body, just not completely the same as the other races with minor additions. If you do that go all the way but we already know this fanbase will find people with full scales/claws as ugly so that probably won't ever happen.

    Concept art is not the same thing as what actually works.
    That's why it's called concept art. Often what is portrayed in concept art is found to not actually be possible within the game's limitations, or there's no way to work with what's in the concept art in the game.
    It's not just the "players wouldn't like the full monstrous look" but "the full monstrous look would take us another 3 months or more of development time."
