Castithans and Indogenes as playable races!

Currently the defiance game suffers (in my opinion) from a sever lack of diversity. Most of the missions in Defiance are only following Humans and a handful of individuals from other alien races. I believe that by diversifying the races that are shown in game, players would feel more deeply involved in the world of Defiance. Consequently, adding two more races (or even more!) would increase the diversity of the game, mixing up game play, and making the world of Defiance the game more interesting. As it stands, the game feels much like a completely different world than that of the TV show. Adding more playable races would solve that problem, as well as add more re-playability, and in addition would probably draw more happy players being able to play as their favorite races.

As a side note, I find it incredibly strange that one of the most active races in the TV show, the Castithans, are nearly left out of the game, with the exception of one quest character (who plays a very small role in the current main story line.) It would just make sense that the Castithans be made a playable race. I really hope that designers read my post, and take it into mind. As for my fellow gamers, help support my cause and maybe your favorite races can end up in game!

The first DLC (yet to come out) introduces playable Castithans, so... :P

Alright, problem one solved. Now we just need new enemies (like the wolf-beetle things) and new npcs (but the npcs will come next season I suppose.) I think this post is definitely relevant to next season, where they will hopefully incorporate all of the alien races into the main story. I just feel like I'm in a different world in the game.

I forget what exactly it was that I'd read, somewhere, but it basically confirmed that there will be enemy Volge. --There will most likely be enemy Casti in the first DLC, and probably more enemies with more DLC and missions.

I'm betting they'll release another playable race. Indogenes, maybe, but it might be a LITTLE bit unrealistic. Indogenes have cybernetics that need to be maintenanced fairly regularly, so they'd need to stay around fairly major settlements, not roaming the wastes. Probably not Biomen. Maybe Sensoths, though their extra height would make them bigger targets. Maybe Liberata, though their diminished heights would make them smaller targets (or possibly easier to get headshots on).
