same as bonzwah1. i am not too keen to RP a ace with such a sense of exceptionalism..now if the githzerai were in here, i would play those. though finally seeing how things turn out, i am becoming interested in playing a custom githyanki due to that major plot point involving that race. i have wiped those giths for my 2 playthroughs, first coz i didn't know better and in the second coz that was a sacred place of my light cleric's deity they desecrated...but having a gith PC would finally give me a good RP reason to let them survive.

I think you could also factor in the "WTF am I meant to be as this race" as well. Dwarves, elves and fantasy races in between are represented well in fantasy media so there are baseline concepts a player can run with.

[@skunkjulio]

Half-Drow also get a few of the Drow RP dialog options, but are inconsistently recognized as Drow. Compared to my Drow EA playthrough, it seems like "good" NPCs recognize my character as Drow while bad ones see them as a regular half-elf, lending to the lore that Half Elves never fit in anywhere. A nice touch, even if a little disadvantageous.

I wish we could have played Githzerai. It would allow some really interesting interactions with Lae'zel and the Githyanki.

[@hoboofserenity]

When I saw that the monk hireling was a gith in the screenshots before launch, I was so excited because I was sure that it'd be a Githzerai, maybe even a Zerth. Then we'd get some cool lore/interactions given how prevolent both githyanki and illithids are in BG3 and how intrinsicly connected all 3 are. Huge missed opportunity imho, and my only real gripe with the game. Though I'm biased because my favorite D&D character I ever played was a monk githzerai back in 3.5ed.

[@Jonsoner]

@@hoboofserenity While I also love Githzerai (loved that companion on Neverwinter Nights 2), there is no need to add another faction. *SPOILERS* *ACTUAL SPOILERS* You find some Githzerai, and they are all badass psychic monk. Hell, you fight them on the astral plane and find someone REALLY important to them there. If we had the chance to go to a Githzerai *crepe* or whatever it's called and get quest, lore and conflicts it may bloat the game too much. We do get SOME lore from that fight and Lae'zel, so it's not like they skipped one of the coolest part of Gith lore (the division and the rebellion).

[@Kammereer]

​@@JonsonerThese are all Githyanki though? The only Githzerai in the game is one of the brains in the Illithid colony

[@cbake52]

[@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968]

Absolutely. I loved Dak'kon from Planescape: Torment and the Rule of 3. I wasn't aware of the Gith before that and I have a soft spot for the Githzerai. I like the Githyanki too (they were in Neverwinter Nights 2) though.

[@stynkus]

Drow is really fun to play because of all the insane interactions you get throughout the game. I usually choose elf because of the innate perception proficiency that get; which can be huge. My current playthrough is as a Zariel tiefling vengeance paladin (they're made for paladins apparently) and I'm having a blast as they also have some really cool interactions in the game.

[@blajx]

Githyanki gets lots of stuff some of it being quite goofy also ("what is cat?") :p I feel that no matter what u choose it turns out to be satisfying with the way the world interacts with u.

[@alliu6562]

My current playthrough is as a drow, and the drow interactions are honestly funny in the sense that either the npc commits a microaggression against you or they kiss your feet there’s no in between

[@reddott2k]

I am close to finishing my first playthrough and my advice is to build your character from a roleplaying perspective instead of picking optimal stats. First decide what kind of character you want to make, then allocate points in a way that best reflects that character.

[@thegoodrevbadandyarr4272]

On the Githyanki, if you have the Deluxe Edition you can use Mask of the Shapeshifter to change form to something more aesthetically pleasing, and it doesnt change back if you remove it, so it doesnt even cost you the helm slot! Some have also pointed out that you can become a gnome to enter small spaces and get tossed up on ledges. Also as Storm Sorc (Draconic subclass), using the SS spell gives you a free fly, so that is infinitely usable.

[@showbeaut]

Not to mention multiple illuminating spells if you’re desperate, playing as a dragonborn with no dark vision is easily solved with Komira’s locket or as you said, a torch, hell even finding items in the dark is easy with holding left alt

[@HamsterPants522]

The same is true in D&D overall. They make it pretty easy to produce light by other means so that races with darkvision aren't greatly advantaged over other races.

[@BrySquatch]

Nice guide. I appreciate that you break things in a clear and down to earth way. Rather than everything being about stats and being just overwhelming, it’s nice to hear “pick the class that looks coolest to you, just know what makes them useful or not”. I loved DOS2, but I still find this game overwhelming, so it’s nice to have some straightforward breakdowns of the world.

[@theKonfusion]

I'm happy Larian removed the stats for classes, so people can roleplay or meme their run more interestingly. Also small races can enter some tiny holes. that's a proficiency not mentioned in the character sheet.

I'm keeping him as is cause i really like it flavor-wise but if i cared about power-gaming in any way i would had swapped both his race and ancestry a while ago. Just don't get how getting a tiny aoe that does 2d6 of damage in front of you somehow equate to getting Darkness, invisibility or Misty Step as part of your racial perks lol.

The reduced movement speed is the bummer here, because enlarge/reduce is great for combat and getting into places you can otherwise not reach "nobody tosses a dwarf ... now give me a long distance boost i.e. toss me" and with invisibility you are finally a bit better at stealth even as a paladin.😅😊

Episode idea: a quick tutorial on all the things on how to make the game more efficient. I played EA and totally forgot I could alter multiple aspects of the hotbar until I saw you setting yours up during your liveplay. Of course, I didn't see the little lock button so I kept trying to drag buttons off to no effect until I searched the answer. Also, just read about using ctrl or shift like you would selecting files for inventory manipulation. I'm sure there's some other efficiency knowledge you could share with people unfamiliar with the game or, like me, spaced they were familiar with it because they were so excited about playing a spore druid Githyanki. The spores definitely make the character play more like a martial class making it feel more like a classic spellsword and I'm loving it.

[@henrykri2067]

Very good overview, as usual! I do think you forgot one thing that I have found useful with elves, including drow, if you want to build a scout type character. For a scout you probably need perception and it is only a class skill for certain classes. Moreover there are no backgrounds that give perception. So when I decided to start a monk that I wanted to be scouting, lockpicking I choose a wood-elf. Then I could start with Perception (wood-elf), Sleight of Hand (background) and Stealth (background or class).

[@bcantui]

Came to the same conclusion but went drow instead of wood elf, the darkness spell sounded good if I ever went shadow monk (trying open hand first). The reduced movement shouldn’t matter in the long run no? Especially with all the monk movement. Also the lvl 3 spell giving advantage to all attacks in an area sounded good with how many attacks monks make

It's honestly tragic how shafted stat-wise Dragonborn are in BG3. They were already considered the weakest PHB race in the tabletop ruleset, and somehow they're actually even weaker in-game than that, because their breath weapon got nerfed. It's puzzling, and one of my very few complaints about the game so far. Dragonborn really needed something more.

[@lokiserpentem8534]

In the full game they can use their breath weapon again after short rest and it increases in power twice during level up Suffice to say ive only ever used it like 2 or 3 times and mainly to hit multiple enemies at once, but usually my companions are in the way Also i feel like people dont comment as much on me being a dragonborn as I'd like, most i remember is Lae'zel mentioning my scales and talking about me being descended from dragons

[@Flustershy]

I mean while it's easy to overlook the resistance passives they have, you can stack them to really dirty effectiveness, basically in act 1 My dragon born-sorc had resistances to. Cold, fire, poison, acid and shock. And still had room for a potion of resistance. Rangers also can get easy 5 dmg type resistances in act 1 so yeah, while their passives aren't flashy, they sure as hell are effective against any magic user if you build em right.

Woodelf monk is great. It's basically the zoomies build. I thought about maybe doing a monk barbarian multiclass but seems like it would be hard to pull off spreading your required stats that wide.

[@tankermottind]

I've always found the association of dwarves with axes and hammers kind of ironic, because those would be the worst possible weapons for people of very short stature as they have so little reach. A dwarf would be much better served by a pole weapon that could make up for their short bodies and arms while also leaning into their low center of gravity and general sturdiness. A dwarven pike phalanx would be very formidable indeed!

One thing about race is that the more absurd the race the more extreme people's reactions to you will be.
