I'd type up everything you should know to get into the game without getting lost but there is a severe character limit on these forums.

I made videos of my written guides though so you can check those out.

The Races themselves have slight variations of stats with some having more strength or vitality. It isn't enough to make one better than the other, so be whatever race is most appealing to you.

This game highly emphasizes the importance of liking your character above the class, since you can just level all classes on one character anyway. If you love the Lalafell then stick with it In the end you could always just race change down the line.
