Re: ITT: we post species organizations and argue about them
The newbie character has typically always been the Human for introductions. First time choice of race is best influenced when there is a class or style of play associated with the race, because people have preferences. Other then that, dev recommendations that you see in the help section like MiBe have the most influence.
If the goal is to make it more newbie friendly, you just need to to add some selections at the top, that I thought was already covered in another option at the start screen.
Alphabetical order makes it easier to read the selections. More important for first time orientation. If you want to avoid this, then you would want a tier list with numbered rankings as a reason for it not being in alphabetical order.
If you really want to make to tier races to perceived difficulty playing, then I'd suggest an ambitious over haul of all races to make them very unique from each other, typically with things most or none of the other races would or will have during the course of the game.
