At least with well defined cultures and traits you can form cohesive conflicts and ideas around. Race as culture is the lazy part. If you want to have a monolithic culture to have conflicts around, just create a culture and don't make it the exclusive domain of a specific race. Like this somehow isn't a problem when fantasy literature consists of only or mostly humans. Certainly didn't stop GRRM from creating the Dothraki culture. But once you've got elves man holy shit the whole race is exactly the same. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:938208371] in Orcs are t...
