If they make other people enjoy the game more, by all means. And if people want to talk about how to balance their unlocking, go for it, but I don't need to listen.
They just aren't that different enough for me to really care. But I am the person who plays human or dwarf in most RPGs, so I don't think its content aimed at me (and that's fine, but like the OP, I just think 'meh').
