Warrior Questions from a Noob

Your looking into it too much.. Pick whatever race you WANT to pick.. pump your starting stats into STA + STR. (some could argue agi/dex but whatever). And get fighting.

In the long run, it's not going to matter all that much.

Really the only thing that may or may not piss you off.. is if you pick a non-large race, after armoring up, you will get encumbered really easy looting stuff. If you want to be able to pack-rat everything you can loot, you may want to think about troll/ogre/barb.
