Didn't DoS:2 have a thing where the undead folk weren't as easily accepted as the other races? And even a head-piece to disguise them, if i'm not mistaken. But then again, DoS didn't have as many character options as BG3. With all the races that are planned to be on the latter i'd be honestly surprised if they managed to provide more than some flavour and the occational callback.
Yes, if you started as an undead you got a bunch of extra clothing items to cover yourself, but only the hood was important, as long as you had some kind of hat on, even if your skullface and bones are fully visible (thanks elf clothing), it was apparently fine.
Except I lost count of all the people I saw whining about how it was impossible to play as an undead without having npcs go hostile on you. Somehow I never managed to have this issue, and I had a great time playing my undead elf and being incredulous at all the boney intercourse I was apparently having.
They could do something along this line for monstrous or evil player characters, but they likely won't, because there are many more racial options than DOS2 already, and you all know that they will save their special efforts for the origin characters, not for making npcs yell at Drow.
