None of this comes up in gameplay of course, but knowing this makes the race awesome. SE could learn from this. The current playable races are kinda bland
Agreed. After doing the Azim Steppe storyline, I regret not making this character a Xaela. It's the culture and story that sells races, even if physically they aren't that different. I can understand where people are coming from though. When it comes to MMOs, it feels like you can never have enough options. Being able to pick from different races is one of my favorite features in games.
