So, after all, according to @TheRedQueen, it seems like what we are getting is the complete absence of racial abilities and a possibility to assign a floating +2 to one ability and a +1 to another. There is also no information on whether this is the only option, the main option or the optional rule. If this is the only option, then I am slightly upset, because for me this disconnects your character from the rest of the world in a bad way. However, I am not mad about it and still think that its going to be fun exploring the new system and all the possibilities.
What?! So race has been demoted to a mere choice of appearance? This is indeed a sad day for all players...
