Why I think BG3 will have playable Goblins & more - 22/06/20 04:14 PM
Watching the latest play stream it became really clear how different the Goblins are compared to previous Forgotten Realms CRPGs.
They aren't generic kill bots, they have personalities, they all look different from each other, they are clearly individuals. To achieve this Larian had to make a significant investment in goblins, of a level equal or greater then required for PC Goblins.
This means that if Goblins aren't playable they aren't making maxim use of their investment in Goblin models and other assets.
And if this is true to Hobgoblins, Bugbears, and Lizardfolk ect... Then we could end up with a lot of races.
