Why is there no Githzerai in the game?

[WickedDront]

Why in the game can I play for githyanki but not for githzerai? The races are not much different and could be divided into sub-races of the gith like elves. It would be interesting to see the reaction of Lae'zel and the other githyanki upon meeting the githzerai.

Who know? Could just be an early access thing.

[Malus]

I would guess there will be later. Even if it is a DLC.
I would doubt we will get ALL races and SUBCLASSES at release. There are just to many.

Aren't they all but completely destroyed? i bet the remaning have better thing to do.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

Because the plot revolves around the 'Yanki and their artifact, may even involve Vlaakith.

Knowing Larian, I'm willing to bet that they may have added a single 'Zerai npc somewhere, just so we can talk to them and see Lae'zel's reaction to them, but I think there's approximately a 0% chance that we'll get them as a playable race.

As far as I know, after the civil war, the Zerai settled in Limbo and have several outposts in Underdark. I have not heard that they were destroyed. At least in nwn2 there is Zhjaeve

But that's at the same time the reason they're less likely to end up fighting a nautiloid. These are ships used to travel the astral plane. And that's where the Githyanki are still at home.
Additionally Githzerai are much less likely to seek open confrontation. They are much more introspective as a race and more focused on their own survival rather than seeking combat with their enemies.

They live in the plane of Limbo, inside fortresses constructed out of pure adamantine which are held together by their constant psionic focus.

Who the hell could have destroyed them?

[CasinoBandit]

Just because they aren't currently in the game, does not mean they won't ever be. More races and classes the better imo

The Nameless One, by instiling doubt

Hell of an accomplishment, considering they were also Monks.

Half of the D&D universe are somehow accomplished Tiefling Bards so, you know.

Interesting? Lae would fight you to the death on the spot. Githyanki have 0 tolerance for them. Even less than Drow have towards other Elves.

Tends to happen when you've got one half of your population swearing vengeance, and the other half who just want to let bygones be bygones.
