No New Races... But New Clans?

[Lauront]

I don't think you can make a race start at a higher level than the others or lock them out of the earlier story.

I can't see them ever making Garleans playable for the amount of story complication that would cause.

(Admittedly I would have said that about beastlike races too, and yet now we have Hrothgar. But letting people play as the "big bad" enemy race that is also barely different to an existing non-lore-breaking race is less likely to win the battle of "worth implementing for variety".)

Less complicated than male Viera being playable from the beginning... at least Purebloods have more of a presence than they do.

No more ridiculous than how they integrate any other new race, really...
