I semi-suggested something similar before http://battlebrothersgame.com/forums/topic/warped-fantasy-races/, though I was less suggesting you be able to talk to them, and the devs have ruled out adding any “new” races at this stage, however they’ve mentioned perhaps maybe doing dlc post-launch with new factions.
I don’t know that it’s possible we’ll the “beast-faction” expanded before then to include more than direwolves but needless to say I’d be greedy for more beasts to hunt.
And totz, if they later expand it to include other races you can talk to that’d be cool, though perhaps they could keep other creature factions hostile and introduce human factions that are foreign to you, mechanically easier to offend, and narratively you talk through their translators and stuff.
