Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Adding Vhaeraun (and potentially others to the deity list)

With so many drow in the plot I love all the extra bits of flavor with mentions to Lolth and Elistraee. Especially if you play a Lolth sworn/seldarin drow or a cleric to either of those goddesses. Personally I would love if we could also throw Vhaeraun in as a deity choice. He's the drow god of thievery, shadow magic, and drow males (because he thought male and female drow were equal). If you want you can read his full wiki article here: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Vhaeraun

Now the reason I labeled this post "and potentially others to the deity list" is because I figured that if there were any other deity choices you all thought should be added you could leave them in the comments. Hopefully this will help the devs forget as few gods as possible in the forgotten realms.

Yes, I agree that a more complete deity list would be great, though I wouldn’t expect Larian to provide the same level of deity-specific content for each, or even to have much at all for gods without specific links to the story. I still think we should be able to pick other deities for RP purposes, though I expect that personally I’ll metagame my cleric characters in the full release to choose deities I think are most likely to have resonance with the plot.

I do plan to play a drow that follows more or less Vhaeraun. I have reached to the conclusion that playing a Lolth-sworn drow and avoiding the Lolth related dialogues is good enough of a compromise. Of course, it would have been great if we had Vhaeraun specific dialogue options but that would be too much to demand. It is a huge game after all and they need to manage their resources accordingly.

They added more gods along with I believe patch 8. Not crazy to think they would add more before release if they are brought up. Besides, no harm done in asking. Especially since the game is in EA and this is when we are supposed to ask for these kinds of things.
