Will the new Dragonborn Race be available to all or will it be exclusive to the Dragonborn Legend Pack?
Because this would make a HUGE difference in the value of the Pack.
My apologies if this has already been answered and I missed it, but I did a couple of searches and didn't see anything definitive.

No answer yet, I guess Cryptic will keep tight about that until enough whales bought the imo overpriced pack to get them.
He doesn't say no, but the chances that there will be a free version seem slim. And honestly I agree with him.
I don't care if Dragonborn are a paid race whatsoever. I just don't like that it is in a 100 dollar price tag bundle. I would like something that more players could readily afford.
A little less of the better off subsidizing the less fortunate and more aiming towards getting the maximum sales.
Ah yes, those reddit posts. Quite insulting marketing speech if you ask me as instead of addressing the more common concerns about not being able to buy the race separately for a reasonable price instead a inflated one because they are bundled with loads of <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> (see Announcement thread) he instantly pulls the "freeloader" card and basically says "pay up or bust".
O.K.
Looks as if the Dragonborn will be for Pack Purchasers only.
Fortunately, I was able to buy it.

Thats too bad.
As long as people buy the Dragonborn + trinkets for $70 Cryptic has no incentive to offer the Dragonborn as stand alone item for less.
Don't expect an answer soon though, saying the class will be free when they want to people to splurge on it is a stupid marketing move
Wow. Seriously, wow. It's only a rip-off if you buy something and feel ripped-off. I bought the pack, I don't feel ripped-off. Perhaps I am, but only in your mind, which doesn't matter to me. If you want to hate me because I am able to afford the package (and obviously find enough worth in it to purchase it) - then you have personal issues. How *you* feel about *my* purchases is no skin off my nose.
OT: The advert stated the pack provides "exclusive access to" the Dragonborn race. at least it did in the beginning. I don't have any problem with Cryptic eventually releasing a Race-Only pack for less cost - but that would be a 'gamble' if you're considering the full package while it's still on-sale.
But even if they do release a race-only option, beware if you buy it because apparently people who are complete strangers to you will hate you for it. LOL
Or when you objectively compare the price for this pack to, lets say, the price of new races, fashion and boots in other F2P games like STO, SWTOR or the price of complete MMO or AAA games.
You will notice that this pack costs the most, yet you get the least for it.
In their rush to buy instantly people often forget the power such purchase decisions have on the industry and that such the decisions are the primary reason why the cost of content is rising constantly.
One of the reasons why I got into this game was the possibility of playing as a Dragonborn.
Thats why they don't sell kobolds (yet).
