Well Not sure how this would work or if they could take the time to do it but if they made it so the game had 7 differing plot threads dependingon what race you choose let you pick any of the 7 council races, depending on the race u get innate bonus/negs, since dD is not really class chosen at the beginning of the game have the race decide what your inclined to rather than the classes, and then u just play as one of the 7 races and Your class is determined by the skill points you choose to get alot of. Obviously being a orc magi would be harder than being a wizard magi.. etc.. I just like the idea of 7 different plot threads and racial bonus's with a class system determined by the player where he ends up.
