Tell me where's the halfling or gnome story? What about the bugbear or any other races tossed in bg3 randomly, where's there story? Please, this is a forgotten realms game, lore is already established. People that don't play d&d are not going to know the difference between a wood elf and a high elf but its their, nor are they going to know what a halfling is or a gnome specifically in the forgotten realms setting.
Dragonborn, Eladrin, & Gensai all have established lore, it happened before this game just like the rest of the races. It seriously would be no different that putting a half-orc into the game vs a Gensai. Just because you don't know it doesn't mean it's different that any other basic race.
Dragonborn came from Abeir twin planet to toril. The spellplague caused the two worlds to collide, over all, the spellplague caused a lot of change to enviroment for FR. Abeir population is summoned up of Dragonborn, dragons, gensai, and several others.
Gensai has been in forgotten realms since 3e, its a race specific to the setting.
Eldrin are one of the original races of elves that never left the feywild (all elves originated from the feywild). In 3e they used to have moon elves and several others that are not named anymore, Eladrin are moon elves and silver elves.
