The Human Race is the jack of all trades. The Elf race is tall and lanky, with a strong nature motive surrounding their character and cultures. This makes them excellent as front line fighters thanks to their passive bonuses. The Dwarf race is, as you would expect, short and stocky. When it comes to picking a race, choose not only what looks best, but consider the unique talents and skills and how they will mesh with your selected Class. The races are largely the same, although each race does start with 2 unique Skills and Talents.
There are four main races found in Original Sin 2.
