In my list of things above that I'm looking forward to players enjoying the most I almost forgot to mention the ethnicities. Some folks have mentioned that they really like the traits, but keep an eye out on ethnicities (some factions don't have them yet but most do). Some are fairly simple, but some are very complex. They don't always force a character to be a certain type of guy, but they do increase chances for certain trait or tempermant acquisition.

They're just another one of the amazing things the trait team has gotten into the open beta already at this stage.
