Interesting, but still Lizardfolk are still strange so Larian would be forced to rewrite large portions of dialogue because of their reptile nature, which would still be too much work for such an unpopular race.
In the end, I prefer fewer races but I want to consequences for choosing the race instead of having 20 race that only affect stats and visuals.
This is exactly what Larian is looking for, and Larian likes Lizard races, they have one in Divine Divinity. Also Lizardfolk are mentioned right in the Baldur's Gate Gazette in BG: DiA which Larian Studios helped write with WotC. I don't think that is, an accident.
