I wish Larian had gone the DnD one route full out... couse now it feels like a mix of 5e and DnD one... and in DnD one while all races get a floating +2 / +1, its also complimented with a better rule for backgrounds...
So in DnD one, all races get a floating +2 / +1 to stats, all races also have certain traits that is seen to be more specifik to that race, in humans case you get inspiration after every long rest, a first level feat and a free skill of choice... every race has something but its actually fairly well balanced...
Backgrounds give skills, tools, languages and a first level feat... i like this set up alot as it give start characters alittle something and those first level feats while generally weaker then later feats still give you alittle something...
Half races in DnD one is handled difrently, their not really a specified race anymore, as you choose you parent races, and you take one of them that give you the technical bonuses, so if you has a Elf and human parent, you either choose human racials, or elven racials bonuses... then you can have any cosmetical features from the two races... this makes half races much more simpler and also feels more unique, you can be a gnome / orc, just pick the one race that gives you bonus, and cosmetics can be from either of the two races...
In anycase just my opinion, and we are going to have fun either way !
