I don't like it when high fantasy races like Dragonblorn, Aasimar and Tieflings are turned into generic races. It takes the special out of them and they become mundane. And there's the contradiction because they are not ordinary in Forgotten Realms. In tabletop with a good DM you can of course write a proper story around them, but not in a CRPG.
Imagine a 4 player party where everyone is a Tiefling, Dragonborn, Aasimar or Minotaur. It becomes a bit of a competition who's more fantastical. What was the story again? Right, there was a story that wasn't about these strange creatures. How are NPCs going to react to this spectacular gallery of the fantastical and monstrous when they enter the gates of Baldur's Gate?
