I want cambions! With the possibility of choosing origin from one of the Demon Lords. I want to play Graz'zt's child!
In total, the tieflings could also be, if a few most powerful Demon Lords were added to the choice of available ancestors, and among them Graz'zt.

Actually Dragonborn were a very late 3.5 race, but rather overlooked as they were introduced in one of the last books of that edition which did not sell very well I think.

I think Githzerai are lowkey confirmed due to that hand of a githzerai near the end of their LarPG Panel from Hell. Looking forward to them, I don't think we'd get a tease like that if they didn't mean to implement them. By that logic we could assume they confirmed the Celestials as well, since a ''head of an angel'' also appears in that shot. One can hope.

In the full release I'd love to see Aasimar, Vedalken and if they choose Eladrin to be in the game I also want the Shadar-Kai to be an option (although I'm worried they wouldn't really fit well with the facial expressions that every player character shares, Shadar-Kai aren't really known for their smiles ahd positive outlook on life)
If they choose to put the Aarakocra in the game, they better do it in the Early Access since that race is an unbalanced mess and there really should be playerbase input for them to turn out right. They're gonna be a fickle thing to balance due to them being able to fly over their opponents, gaining massive advantage. Ranger Aarakocra is a sight to behold

On a tabletop, Aarakocra having flight doesn't concern me much... having a 50ft move speed concerns me a lot. Especially combined with anything like Rogue or Monk.

In this environment, I'm just not sure how they can make flight work. Otherwise, I'd ask for a winged tiefling variant.

I mean currently Wood Elves/Half-wood elves have Fleet of feet which gives 10.5 meters/ 35 feet movement per turn + the Crusher Ring increases that to 13.5 Meters/45 Feet per turn. On a rogue with Cunning Action Dash that is 90 feet per turn.

Imagine with an Aarakocra!!! 60 Feet per turn with Crusher ring/ 120 feet with Cunning Action Dash!

Zoom zoom zoom!

It's a bit meandering, but eh...

Now imagine with an Aarakocra rogue who's multiclassed into monk

I'd like to see gnomes. Rock, Forest and Deep. +2 INT is nice for wizards. On top of that Rock get CON bonus and the other 2, DEX bonuses. Story wise Rock gnome are the "common" gnome and if you are thinking about crafting, these guys make interesting trinkets. Forest gnomes have more of a feel for mixing with druids. I see a lot of NPC interaction for deep gnomes as well.

This question has been brought up elsewhere.........
.........And I have no problem shilling GOBLINS more here.

Also the Various planetouched aces that AREN'T human hybrids (Like the Fey'ri.).
That'd be radical too.

I would LOVE to see Aasimar.

Aasimar would be interesting since that would mean two voices in your head. (Not that that would get programmed in, sadly)

Like they speak in a echo?

I wonder instead of a shoulder angel and shoulder devil. They have a shoulder angel and a shoulder tadpole.

Shoulder Angel: I'm here 'looks over.' hey where's the other guy?
Shoulder Tadpol: 'At a Bar.' So-so.....the other guy won't let him 'hic' let him listen to me.
Shoulder Bartender: That's rough buddy.

Sometimes i wonder why all half-breeds are human with something ...
You know what? I would like to see Half Orc - Half Dwarf.

I too would love to see more Non-Human Hybrids.
Humans are boring and Half-Humans are only a step above them.

Giants, they break the geometrie of the game.
I want to be as high as 10meters and unbelivable stupid an strong.
Smash and trample everything including Houses, Towers, Fortresses, Forests, causing Tsunami waves on shores and whatever i please.
BG3 is totally the wrong game to do this

At least some race which can use those nice 2h-Weapons which aren't usable by humanoids. f.e. the Minotaurs club or those from the gourmant ogres and hopefully more to come into game.

Why disarming them and reduce their damage without having the chance to trash them with their own weaponsarsenal
esp. when im a Giant.

Man, that last part went in a far different direction than I was expecting.

Playing a minotaur could be cool
