Before everybody freaks out at me and bans me for requesting race selection, hear me out. The current problem with race selection is that changing the player model breaks the game. Now, while this would be a stretch for those wanting to be Hobbits or Dwarves, I suggest that the player model not be changed; however certain other things should. For example, NPCs think of you and address you as a member of your chosen race. As well as this, certain buffs should be awarded to different races, eg. Elves can instantly tame horses and ride them bareback (as Legolas does in Rohan during The Twin Towers), Dwarves can mine faster than other races, Orcs can deforest faster and so on. Another feature could be that it's easier to earn posetive alignment with factions composed of your race, for example Elves would find it easier to align with Dorwinion and Lothlorien than they would Bree or the Shire.

Please consider this idea, as I think it could add some great mechanic to the mod
