I didn't say that they weren't, only that the system as it is now its very restrictive when compared to its Pen & Paper counterpart because said counterpart gives the players more customization options regarding playstyles, so that you can play which race and whichever class you want without compromising the effectiveness of the character, i used the Half Elf case as an example of this; in P&P can choose whether to select a sub-race or not, if you don't you get "Skill Versatility" which is something everyone can benefit from and if you do choose a sub-race you can exchange "Skill Versatility" for some other trait depending on the sub-race (i gave the Wizard Cantrip and the "Elf Weapon Training" as examples of this), but right now in Early Access not only are you forced to choose a sub-race but each one has a pre-selected trait that you cannot change and that may not even be the best choice for the type of character you are making, so i think that that's something they really need to change because otherwise it will encourage people to choose some races over others because of their min/maxing potential and not because they actually enjoy playing it.
