Thief prowess, having a voice you feel represents your character is very important to roleplaying.

You've highlighted they are all aggro, I've highlighted that as a complaint. Where is the old mage? The cynical coolheaded dude? The funloving Bard? Simmeringly angry Ranger, death threatening whispering assassin, nonchalant Knight? It's not hard. Voice over people are everywhere. It's just bad decisionmaking on the creators part.

Secondly, with the race issue you're talking about a NEGATIVE STEREOTYPE. African Americans playing basketball is not a negative stareotype. Gypsies being thieves are.

The option to play a Gypsie should fall under RACE not CLASS, where it's class is a rogue/thief.

A Gypsie could be a Bard, an Acrobat, an Illusionist, a Merchant, a Craftsman, or a thief. These guys have labelled them as a thief subclass! I'm sorry, it's just not good.
