First of all it's alpha made by a single developer, who learn how to do it in process. Second of all, next version will have global changes in mechanics and UI including some of your suggestions, unfortunately it'll wipe all saves. And third, this: "I still belive humanoids like your great Lizardman or the Werewolf should be prioritized.", are just your personal preferences. I, for example, don't like furry at all, and villagers, citizens and some Orcs are my favorites. Here is a place for everyone. Lizards, Werewolves, Rats, Satirs, Ranch and Caves for you, and Orcs, Dwarfs and Humans for me. You always can choose the way you're playing, don't find opponent attractive? There is "Attack" button, and brutal ways to pass the fight. If you want 100% furry game, just try another one, like Uncommon Breed or something.
Don't forget that there are no limitations, grind a bit and you can build godlike character, who can do anything ;) As for skipping content - it's add in the game in certain way, bit by bit in each update, plus it's should give you a sense of adventure like in classic fantasy book, not just open world freedom. Just find the way you like. I found Orcs, they're hot xD
