if we wanted a non human race, why not use the wolf people in Doma. They do have some lore, and would fit in to some extent if they became a playable race, and they would be different.

Yeah it would take gear redesigns, but I think people are over stressing that aspect. They wouldnt have to redesign every single piece of gear from teh ground up. It would most likely take place as modifications, probably in the same vane as they have for miqote, as an example.

Itd be work, but not a "gotta restart everything from scratch".
