If you are a goblin, forget about peaceful dialogues, everyone you meet will try to kill you, and no romance throughout the game. Its OK?? Nobody will take you seriously. Goblins don't even need a tadpole to be subservient to evil will


The same could be said of the drow. In the vast majority of cases, they are a chaotically evil race (goblins are neutral evil, lol), whose loyalty to Lolth, hatred of elves, and decadence overwhelm all their other traits.
But this is no reason to exclude the drow from the list of playable races.
In addition, the fifth edition gives several examples of goblinoids who entered civilized society. Like Chill, a band of goblinoid mercenaries. In Storm King's Thunder, there are several examples of organizations where goblinoids could be (Lords' Alliance, Zhentarim, and the previously mentioned Chill).
That's not much, but the drow have fewer examples...
