I have a general idea of what I want to be (that being a child soldier then an explorer in the colder lands as a dras).
Although the devs have said that most things can still change as they're in development like racial positives and negatives.
Devs in one of their said to not go for a race just by their racial skills, but by their history, art and the general lore in the game.
Do you want to be a fancy pants mercenary? Janoa.
A sophisticated judge and merchant? To'resk.
A meat eating hairy ball of raging muscle? Brudvir.
Just read the race's backstory and how they treat general life and death, or just them selves.
I will be a Dras because I love to play the 'hated' race, like Argonian in TES games. Even though Dras let the dead decompose in the public and then write the history of the person on their bones, then decorate their ancestral home with it, they have a positive attitude towards life.
So just pick the race that you respect and/or wish to be, and put a working profession on top of it.
