Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Why Drow should be moved to Elven Subrace

If you want to add to the confusion:
- in which category do you place elves who worship the seldarine / the dark seldarine / Eilistraee / a non elven deity?
- another important discrimination would be those who can access the reverie trance and those who can't
- this game has high elves and wood elves but there are two sub races within the high elves, sun elves and moon elves (as far as faerûn is concerned)

In my opinion, Larian folks do their best in a pragmatic way. 2 levels of depth to keep it simple, category and subcategory.
And it works well when it comes to implementing bonus, malus and feats.

The real problem is the notion of Seldarine Drow. It doesn't make sense. There are drows whose spirit or soul was allowed back to Arvandor but I think they were turned back into dark elves beforehand.
If that's really something that Larian wants to be present in its game, then it would be better to have dark elves as a sub category of elves imho. (and keep drows seperate).
