Elves, Protoss, angels are depicted as exceptionally good and honorable. Zerg, Orcs and Chuthulu Illithids are depicted as evil, vicious and actually supremacist.
The statement that all non-humans would be depicted as 'vile monsters' is simply not true.
The OP is asking for non-humans, but who are social animals with a recent common ancestor with humans, to act completely different from humans and lack a basic morality. That is what this is in reference to - not angels or ghaik.
Why would I play a game in which every species is exactly the same in biology and behavior? Why would I play a game in which there is no conflict? There would be nothing to learn, nothing to discuss?
You obviously do not realize that fantasy races are a mirror of humanity. Elves, Protoss and angels are the 'perfect' humans, the way we would like to be. Orcs are the evil, vicious humans, the way we would not like to be.
Not every species - Drow and Humans are the same species - you can have little half-humans, half drow. Social animals having the ability to be prosocial is just obvious - but that doesn't mean they all act in the exact same way or have the exact same biology - so that's a whole straw man right there. But, you could have them all be the same - just as you can have DnD sessions in Medieval England - because conflict should not have to be racial in nature. Robin Hood found plenty of conflict without elves or orcs - there were giant wars and class divisions.
Elves go back much further back than Tolkien and were not perfect little humans - they go back into Norse mythology and centuries afterward, and centuries before Tolkien, were known as pranksters.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/orcIf you were honestly interested in prejudice or intolerance, you would never complain about fantasy RPGs. Or burn Harry Potter books on Twitter :O Or complain about the depiction of Orcs in Lord of the Rings.
You simply desperately search for some kind of 'microaggression' to accuse random movies, games or books of being 'intolerant'. And your true aim is to force the developers to promote your preferred ideology.
In truth, you guys simply are not 'antiracist' at all. If your were, you would be out in the streets and protest against actually intolerant groups - starting, by the way, with actually dangerous people like Yusra Khogali, IS & Co.
I'm sorry. How do you know all the details of what I do day in and day out? One is hardly limited to either commenting on racism or attending mass demonstrations against racism - they aren't mutually exclusive events. In fact, the likelihood of doing one correlates with doing the other as well. Training the mind with the idea that "this is different from me therefore it must be evil" is very much a mindset that plays into creating systems of oppression, like racism. Also, if you were serious about opposing DAESH - which is known for religious, not racial, violence - then you would call it DAESH, not IS.
Furthermore, they currently are using my "ideology" on this matter - the OP, which as I look at it, is you, is complaining that they are using it and demanding that he be able to judge people based upon how they look than having to consider that a Drow might be helpful and not an enemy. I'm not trying to change how Larian treats things - you are. You are demanding they simplify things to where what something looks like tells you how to deal with it.
