Fair, but it'd still be nice if they were given something additional to replace the lost ASI for the Mountain/Shield Dwarf subrace. I suppose as it is unshown, it's still possible they'll get something....but given humans & half-elves it seems unlikely

I definitely agree with you there.

I can safely say that I'll wait for a mod that restores the old racials, until then I'll be fooling around in the character creator but not really playing.
