    I think Dökkálfar would be cool and offer alternative play to that of the elves.

    Both dwarves and dwarfs have been used, just like both elves and elfs have been used. The context matters though ;)

    Tolkien uses dwarves and elves. That's good enough for me. :)

    *Budner barves up his dinner*

    I would prefer having a NEW race. Why must it always be elves and dwarves. Let some creative dev take an attribute from various classes, throw in a few special characteristics, and create a new race.

    Troll + Human + Elf + Ent + Dwarf = THEED

    An ugly, environment-wrecking, pointy-eared, bark-skinned, short race.

    OR more positively

    A strong, intelligent, graceful, bearded tree-like race.

    I have a feeling it would be saying the exact same thing as the creature in this video. xD

    If Tolkien wrote The Smurfs, it would be The Smurves ;)

    The original Fuzzies were from H. Beam Piper's books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Fuzzy (they were not cutezy like Ewoks, think of them more like miniature Wookies)
    Obiviously someone that crafted Ultima III loved the stories like I did. :)

    Here's Michael Whelan's cover art for H.Beam Piper's book, Fuzzy Sapiens.

    I say bring back fuzzies because it's so weird and out there and there is already precedent. You know people would play fuzzies just because

    I know I'd rather play a fuzzy or a satyr or even an ophidian compared to a rabbit-eared elf (light or dark elf, it doesn't matter). Elves are just so common in too many games (and their ears just keep getting longer), I burnt out on playing them a long time ago. Not to say we shouldn't have elves as player characters, but I sure hope we will get other choices too.

    So far, the game has a lot of emphasis on combat, which is fine, but it doesn't allow a non-violent playing style.

    I would like to see a playable race called Budner. Instead of killing enemies with a weapon, the Budner would use witty comments to incapacitate his foes. While the enemy is rolling on the ground laughing, the Budner could loot it and make his escape.

    Yes, Charisma and Cleverness stats should be introduced, as only belonging to Budners, as they would wield these in place of Dexterity and Strength.
