How is this thread still alive?
And I am a person whose favorite characters are drows (from varying alignment). I guess the first sentence sums up my personal opinion on the topic.
P.S. The shades of drow were always in the Baldur's Gate franchise since BG1 and Viconia (yes, Viconia is not your typical evil drow
) and Drizzt. In BG2 this is even more pronounced as you meet at least one more drow with a non-evil alignment.
P.S2. I guess we can all agree it is great to allow a player to play as a drow however (s)he likes (yes to more choices). However, not every fantasy world should be a perfect and fair world. I want my fantasy world to have a chance to be cruel, unfair and racist, which will allow the convictions of my characters to be tested and for them to shine (or fail, depending on the character).
P.S3. Forgive my first sentence but this discussion has outlived its usefulness.
