I want to build robots designed to destroy the very Haven I presently occupy. No biggie.

Alternate playable races

Alternate playable races would be awesome, IMO, and right now it seems only gremlins fit that category.

If they're looking for something that could revive some interest or some expansion it would be quite cool. In fact, you could probably get a lot of people who are just decked out in their end-game stuff to reroll a new character and start playing and leveling out their armor all over again :v

They could make a limited edition patchwork gremlin costume. Comes with gremlin noises.

I WOULD NEVER TAKE IT OFF

Well there's something like that.

I believe there's a glitched staff that causes the wielder to make Gremlin noises (It's the staff the Menders use, but as a weapon for Knights), I think it's called the "[something] wand"

I could think of a few pros

I could think of a few pros and cons for playable Gremlins. Guess I'll list them.

Pros:
* Incentive for people to roll another character, grind it up and get gear
* May justify an alternate starting zone, or an alternative questline. This itself could flesh out part of the world
* Could make for a separate faction since aside from outcasts, gremlins are obviously enemies
* Would spark some player interest

Cons:
* Would need a new model entirely. The gremlin model is made with clothes built into it so... can't really equip different armor onto it and have it show. The model viewer shows that the model can equip a weapon, and a shield, but the shield is only shown on the back
* New model means new animations as well.. could be time consuming
*... and with that they may have to retexture all the armor so it could fit onto a gremlin body
* We don't really know the nature of the gremlins and what they do other than fight the knights in the clockworks. Would they have the same goals of running through the clockworks? Would they use ME and CE like knights do? Would playable gremlins be the outcasts, and if so, do outcasts venture back into the clockworks? Or would playable gremlins be another side and faction entirely?
*If they're another faction and the world is instanced, that would mean that player knights and player gremlins would most likely never cross paths and never party. If one side had more players than others then it may be harder to find and party with other knights (as the gremlin would likely be more popular)
* And finally this one is opinion based: knights seem androgynous and gremlins do not.. perhaps they could be made a little more androgynous? That seems a little hard to do with them in general. I think I would play one either way, seeing how no one can still guess my gender as a knight anyways.
