Will More Races Be Added To Baldur’s Gate 3?

A common complaint about Baldur’s Gate 3 is that it lacks many of the playable races included in its source material, the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. There are only 11 playable races in Baldur’s Gate 3, compared to 42 in all official, Wizards of the Coast-published material for the tabletop game. While most of the usual suspects are there, there are some truly odd choices of what to include and exclude. Half-orcs are available, yet full-blooded orcs are not, despite both elves and half-elves being present. Goblins, kobolds, and bugbears aren’t playable, despite having a major role in the game. There are no lineage races to speak of.
