Please include aesthetically suitable armour, robes, shields, weapons, accessories, etc. for all of the playable races. So far there's two variants of Drowish armour and a helmet/hood in the game, plus Spiderstep Boots. All these are great for Drow characters, but there's very little that specifically suits a High or Wood Elf, except for Corellon's Grace. There are some unique items that suit particular classes like Druid or Ranger, but those are classes, not races. We have Lae'zel's Githyanki Half-Plate, but nothing else for Githyanki characters. Can we eventually get helmets, gauntlets, boots, and a silver sword to complete the Githyanki look? Same for Dwarves, there's no armour that really looks like it comes from their culture. Humans, Half-Elves, Halflings, Tieflings, etc. can all wear generic gear and look thematically appropriate due to their lore. But Elves, Githyanki, Dwarves, etc. necessitate more distinct gear, in my opinion.

This seems, to me, like a suggestion that will be naturally solved when we have access to more than one region (that is, at full release).

I'd honestly rather see a lot of generic, practical options than I would anything race-specific.
I hate to draw the contrast, but Elven armor in D:OS2 looked hideous to me.
I get how it was meant to be conveyed and it was certainly appropriate, but heavy armor shouldn't look like branches and leaves that are just thicker than their medium and light counterparts.
If there's a way to integrate race-specific armor without going over-the-top to make a distinction between them, then I'm all for it.


I don't want to fall to bits 'cos of excess existential thought.

Well, we already have Drow and Githyanki gear. If there is a cultural aesthetic associated with a race, as in the case of different elven and dwarven communities, then it would be nice to get some gear which represents them visually. Always good when making different character builds, too.
