Will we ever be able to change race?
Not going to happen. The impact it would have on the personal story would be game breaking, and it would even screw up your build if you use racial skills.
There are no plans to do so because of all the stuff that’s bound to your race, also there shouldn’t be such an option. Being able to change genders is bad enough, this is an RPG dammit.
Anyway, just look at the plethora of other threads on this topic, several have an official reply that basically reads: nope.
