Play as any race?

from GalCiv2 Forums
In regards to being able to select your race...

You can play as any race, true, but what separates Humas from Drengin other than fur and some awesome background music?

If I play as the Drengin, will I find that other races are predisposed to give in to my bullying tactics? If I play as the Altarians, will I start off as "good"?

Will choosing a race be more like choosing a political party in Galciv 1?

Will the fixed races allow any customization (choose a race, take the racial abilities, and then augment them with 10 skill points ala Galciv1), or will they be set in stone?

- Nobody

Not that this matters... I'll play my "custom race" option every time...
Race Name: Canister Vacs
Leader Name: Sucky Sucky

Good question though. What are the start up civilisation options going to be like?

Each civilization will have preset abilities, unless you choose the custom race and make your own. The custom race is the only one where you will get to pick your racial abilities.
