Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Drow as Elf subrace. Choose your deity for all races and classes.

First of all, drow should be grouped under Elves. Thus Elves could be these "high elves", "wood elves" or "drow" (or dark elves).
It works for Duergar, it works for gnomes, why not for elves?

That would also necessitate to simplify essentialy identical Lolth-sworn and so-called Seldarine Drow (Eilistraee-sworn) by removing the distinction and unbounding race of drow from the belief in Lolth.

I think a simple "choose your deity" screen for all races, not only Clerics, should be a-ok. Whether it be purely symbolic or had some consequences, would be up for Larian - but I think many people want it, especially Paladins (for flavour reasons).


If Larian wanted Drow to be their own thing:
In EA so called Seldarine share the Lolth-Sworn dialogue options and basically are 1:1 of Lolth-sworn for all intends and purposes. I'm not aware of any difference in look they could have. It’s SO odd, lore wise, for a Seldarine Drow to do that since they go extreme ways reject the House system of Drow society and oppression of males to still talk like a Drow feminazi.

I suppose it would make sense for the generic [Drow] tag, normally, but given specifically NOT TYPICAL DROW OPTION - there should be a [Eilistraee-sworn] option to show they have a markedly 180 degrees different outlook.

Also Seldarine Drow should be renamed to Eilistraee-sworn.
