It´s understandable not to use different languages in a videogame, for practical and economy reasons.

What worries me is not that there are no languages, is what they´re going to do with backgrounds and feats that add languages to the game. Are they going to use half the feat/ background, turning them into comparatively less useful features, they will simply remove them from the game or they will add new features to spice up those character creation options like they did with the ranger?

I hope it´s the latter. You can find some cool substitutes for the extra languages of the half-elves, or some backgrounds that adds more languages. An enthralling/annoying song, distracting sounds, mimic voices?...
