Goblin (playable)

Creation screen description
''Shrewd, greedy, and ruthless, goblins have a long-standing reputation for being neutral in the rest of the world, despite the Steamwheedle Cartel allying with the Old Horde during the Second War. Heroes of goblin society are not bastions of honor or integrity. Instead, goblins tend to admire the ruthless acquisition of profit, by any means necessary. Goblins are gifted engineers and accomplished seafarers, but are best known for their unabashed avarice.''

Opening cutscene
''For as long as anyone can remember, the goblins of Undermine have sought out one thing: gold. The Venture Company is among the most successful of their ever-shifting enterprises. It is well known for exploiting resources, both natural and humanoid, by whatever means are available. The Venture Company's brutal tactics and lack of concern for the natural world frequently bring them into conflict with the other nations of Azeroth, especially the druidic races of the night elves and tauren, but there is no better place for an enterprising goblin looking to strike it rich.''

''As one of the Venture Company's newest recruits, you are ready to lie, cheat and steal your way to the top. But your first expedition may not go quite as planned. As a shadow falls on the high plateaus of the Stonetalon Mountains, you come face to face with a choice that will lead you on a new path in the world.''
