Technically, the Seldarine drow is also from the Underdark, at least you can tell by the tags.
I should have called it a "remake", not a "rename" then. Right now drow subraces remind specific backstories more than subraces, and are tied to certain deities. They force the drow PC into one of two very specific archetypes, leaving out many types of drow characters people may want to make. (At least unless they want to go with their headcanon.)
Actually, it's a little strange I would think that if they add some drow's "sub-races" difference will be greater than few dialogues. I wonder to what extent this is an independent Larian idea.
Yeah, I kind of... don't mind drow subraces, but also don't think it's the most... worthwhile. If anything, surface drow could make sense, since they won't have the Underdark tags. They could be Baldurian drow. Otherwise... what's the point? And, if I'm not mistaken, I could make an elf worshipping Moradin. No need for "Morndinsamman Wood Elf" subrace.
I'd be all for dividing high elves though, as I've mentioned.
Currently there is no mechanical difference between Seldarine and Lloth-Sworn drow so that would imply the difference exists for reasons of dialogue tagging....but currently the dialogue seems similar. I've heard there's a different starting cutscene for Lloth-sworn drow....? Still seems like a weird place to do a separation and then do nothing with it.
Also the "Seldarine" drow are capable of worshipping any god that's not Lloth and most of the ones we're offered are not Seldarine.
I think Corellon, Eilistraee and MAYBE Sehanine are there? Don't remember seeing any other Seldarine god on the list of what the Seldarine drow can choose as a patron.
Also to re-affirm...my belief on the dark elf subraces is that most surface dark elves are going to mechanically be Wood Elves with small pockets being mechanically High Elves. And the "drow" elven subrace is going to be pretty much the underdark dwellers either Lloth-sworn or newly emigrated.
