Yes, if I pass for good, then only for that. Eilistraee is too good, I would enjoy it if my drow worshiped her. Larian can't seduce me with tieflings, but if they give good drow who serve Eilistraee and are friends with ordinary elves, then I will pass for good second playthrough


Well, you could make a Seldarine drow cleric of Eillistraee. IMO, more than introducing yet another subrace, they should allow every class to pick a patron deity, much like NWN2. Then again, I think that dividing the drow into 2 sub-subraces wasn't needed, and it doesn't have any match in the lore. I would have personally given the drow the ability to choose their origin (Underdark, Surface) and deity, then determine dialogue options from that.

The name they used, Seldarine drow, is also puzzling to me. The FR drow have historically been shunned by the Seldarine--even the follower of Eilistraee, whose existence is denied by many elves, because acknowledging her means that the elves too committed atrocities in the Crown Wars (like literally magic-nuking the Eilistraean nation of Miyeritar), and that they are indeed the cause of their problems (this is in Faith&Pantheons, a lore book from 3e D&D). In the above mentioned (now retconned) series of books, Corellon goes as far as not lifting a single finger to help Eilistraee, his own daughter, in fighting for the future of all the drow, and in the end his mouthpieces state that the vast majority of the drow doesn't deserve help because they're "unwilling and to be cast down" (actual quote). It's for nothing that the relationship between Eilistraee and the Seldarine is described as strained in "Demihuman Deities" (a lore book from 2e D&D).


Yes, that sounds like a solution. I don't like the situation with the drow Lolth nor the drow of the Seldarine, the drow race is much more diverse. In both cases I don't get what I wanted



Thanks to Larian for Baldurs Gate 3 and the reaction to player feedback
