Good drows/tielfing are not a twist on the stereotpye but the denial of them. A twist on the evil drow stereotype would be for them to be evil in a peculiar fashion, in an unexpected way.
Honestly I am confused by the tiefling of BG3. They are supposed to be these loners that become evil because they are shunned. These guys have a whole freaking community and the overwhelming majority of them seem to be well adjusted.
They are? I thought they were supposed to be refugees? strong community because all they have is each other, hated by the outside world because of the current events (descent into avernus) that forced them into the world+prejudice against them.
Tieflings in random parts of the world are often loners, but the ones in BG3 are stated as being from the place where they had a thriving community and were those shunned loners would flee to to find community, before it all went to hell. literally and they lost that home too. If we get, driven to become evil from being shunned, I'd expect that to come from if they are refused entry to BG city when they arrive?
Tiefling in most DnD stories are either driven to evil by infernal forces inside them which is boring, or by being isolated and not having others accept them which is a story BG already has with Vicona in BG1-2 idk, it seems to me Larian was going for tieflings as refugees in BG3 not tieflings as set up for their becoming villains?
Minthara is the best character and she NEEDS to be recruitable if you side with the grove! Also- I support the important thread in the suggestions: Let everyone in the Party Speak
