*spoiler if you want to keep reading its on you *
Actually if you cure this one character that stole shoes and is near mushrooms she says she is an artificer as well as some of her friends so they have artificers in the game which means the class has a HIGH chance as well especially since if they are ok with drow and githyankii why not be ok with that class
Not saying it won't happen. But, just to not get our hopes up, drow and githyankii was kinda needed considering the story. Ok, maybe not drow but people meeting Minthara and not being able to play as drow? Outrage! Also, having an NPC artificer in game now can just hint towards dlc's/expansions as well. Or simply be a way for Larian to acknowledge they know about the class existing.
