The idea is, are you basically a good Drow or evil Drow?
Honnestly this is nearly my only problem related to this thread. Should our races and subraces choice influence our "alignement" and how the world react ? According to me : no. A drow is a drow and good actions should lead to good reactions.
I don't really care but I don't understand this choice about drow as a race with subraces. This is even not really subraces...
The world should definitely react to what race you choose, especially if it's drow. Unlike our world in which every kind of racial stuff has to be erased for SJW sake, in forgotten realms, most surface races will assume you are evil if you are a drow or a druegar. And one of the main difficulties you have when you play one is to amend yourself and present evidence of your goodness in order to be accepted.
If it wasn't there, the principle of race itself wouldn't mean anything and everyone should be playing humans with different attributes.
