It is pretty funny how a Drow MC doesn't get any hostility or second looks. Even forsaking their reputation, we're shown an area raided by them close to the grove and, of course, the leader of the goblin army is a drow. Grove mustn't be too hot on them, and again that's forsaking their reputation.
Makes me wonder if way back when drows weren't made a playable race for the Bhaalspawn because it'd stink too much. I'm playing the OGs right now and the games already are borderline silly in how everyone treats a half-orc walking around.
That's the next point. It's simply killing suspense if I make a Drow character and every little halfling is treating me as his best friend, as if they know I'm some kind of Drizzt Do Urden. In fact, even Drizzt was ostracized because of the known supremacism and intolerance of the Drow.
If fifth Edition completely changed this definition of Drow, people will obviously get confused.
