Races in Divinity Original Sin 2 are listed in this page. Each Race has not only their own appearance, but also a unique Tag that affects dialogue with NPCs and can affect the options available to you during Quests. Races also have their own benefits combat-wise.

AnonymousRivelon, has six races, and 7 gods. The two races missing are imps and orcs. You do run across some dead orcs but no imps in this game. Imps are in dragon commander which actually helps in expanding the lore. End of dayblarian studios is a small studio that does what it can with the resources it has. One day we will get all races to be playable but we just have to hope they do well until then.

Elfs are beta males that only watch Lord of the rings. On the other hand Dwarfes are for the people that know what true man power comes from. These are fact

The elves of this game are a cross between the bosmer of The Elder Scrolls and the dalish of Dragon Age. Lizard is my preferred race though the others are pretty dull.

Need to add more races then just these. You have the option for basically a D&D style play way, but you are so limited by races. Sorry I am tried of playing these races, but I still love the game. We need something like Gnoll or Feline like Khajiit. Please don't tell me to go play another game either since I own that game already, and its not near as fun. So please add more races some how, or let us actually do it. -Just read somewhere why you said no due to too much work, but if someone is devoted enough they will do it.-
I have tried to make it, and failed since I'm not skilled enough with those types of programs.

As one anon said, the Wood Elf race from Bethesda's Elder Scrolls games are very much cannibalistic. Not All Elves (TM) and all that, but culturally, their "Green Pact" (basically their religion) demands it.

flesh eating elves, that's certainly a 1st for me, don't know any other lore that is even remotely similar to that.
