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.
@TheRedQueen has said on several occasions that she knows no more than we know. So, where did she get this information? Is this just a guess, or legitimate, developer-confirmed information? @neprostoman, could you quote what she said?
Its not very convenient for me to quote using the phone, but in her feedback thread she told everyone about being at PFH and having an opportunity to play the game, starting with the character creator. So this seems to be true, even if we don't like it.
