      If you want to get rid of the “bloodless” stat each day you let Astarion go nomnom on your neck, you can pick up the “Silvanus charm” from at the grove. It’s under a rock near the bear by the beach (it’s a big rock but you just have to move it slightly and then you can see the necklace).
      Just equip it, use the spell it has, and then you can swap back to whichever other necklace you want to wear. No more bloodless -1 stat, and Astarion still gets his +1 happy.

    Another hilarious situation was when I decided not to push the Duegar dwarf into the water on the way to Grymforge. As soon as we got there, a female dwarf asked him "Who's he? A friend of Nere or are you plowing Drow now?" I could reply "Digusting. No plowing was happening." Then she grinned and said " Might help with that stick up your a**." or something along the lines.

    In the D&D universe, Seldarine Drow should be painfully aware of the reputation their kind have on the surface - and that it's well earned.

      In the conversation with... I think the kid merchant whose friend pickpockets you? He can say something along the lines of "and here I thought drow were scary."
      As a seldarine, you can reply along the lines of "you absolutely should be scared of drow, if they have red eyes they do _not_ have kindness in mind for you."
      Eilistraee's followers seek to carve out an alternative to lolth's bullpucky, but. It's rather difficult to convince the surfacedwellers that drow aren't so bad, when nearly every drow to go to the surface is probably on a slave-gathering trip...

      Not even. Drow as a race are comparable to demons where one female drow by herself has been known to go into a village, horribly slaughter every living thing, turn people inside out, paint a nice friendly hamlet with meat and guts in ways that make you think of something horrifically eldritch and kidnap or eat children and babies. If you encounter a drow in the wilderness the only sane responses are to run away as fast as you can or shoot her through the head with an arrow before she notices you. Brave honorable men are known to flee their homes leaving their wives and children behind because female drow are such horrific sorcerers. A morally good drow, if one could exist, would be dead on the floor because it's unreasonable to ask anyone from town or wilderness to not kill them immediately if given the chance. You meet a pack of wolves out in the woods. Do you stop to find out if they're morally good wolves? Drow are worse than that. Drow shouldn't even be a playable race. If you want to play a good drow, that's what elves are. Drow are corrupted insanely evil elves. If this were LOtR would you think you could play a good Uruk-hai? This is what they are lore-wise

    Larian did such a good job with the drow. (I say this knowing the complaints about lumping all non-Lolth following drow in together as ‘Seldarine’. Please have mercy on the developers, man. The game has limits)
    There was only really one time during my drow run that I felt needed a Drow-specific option that wasn’t there. It’s in act 3 with that terrible comedian in the elfsong. One of his shitty jokes is about a drow employee he supposedly had and ends with him killing her. I was kind of shocked he had the guts to joke about that while I was standing right there, especially since the drow aren’t necessarily known for how well they can take a joke. I really wanted a dialogue option to be like ‘you plan on killing me, too? I’d like to see you try.’
    But there’s nothing. No reaction from you or him or any of the audience. Other than this one not-even-side-quest-related moment, I’d say well done. No notes.

      There's no reaction with nudity either. People seem to be saying that it responds to everything, but there's a select few things that apparently slip under the radar, like what you've mentioned, and the fact that a dwarf can stand in the middle of the city, no clothes, and no-one seems to care in the slightest.
      I opted to a nudist playthrough for the hell of it, before you ask why I bring it up. I just wanted to see how funnier it would be if I just refused to wear clothes. Turns out, they never accounted for it. Even Bethesda games manage to have NPCs respond to naked characters. Kind of upsetting, ngl. But, big arse game, I get it if they just forgot some things, or didn't account for something else.

    Before i picked up BG3 I knew only a little about Drow (like they were considered evil and worshipped Lolth) but I had made a character before I knew ANYTHING about Drow, im talking years and years ago, and I wanted to create his likeness, and was THRILLED with the Seldarine option for a "good" drow. But the whiplash both I and my character felt at the sheer, unadulterated, Grade A Racism was overwhelming
    (For context, my characters history is that he was yoinked as a kid to live on the surface in extreme solitude with his father for reasons i dont really remember, the father having taken a human woman as a wife afterwards who then had a half drow sorcerer kid. So dude didnt even know what racism WAS let alone experience it, then he gets kidnapped and has to deal with all that nonsense probably shattered his heart of gold)

    Playing as a Seldarine is the best option for a drow, all the best of being a drown without the downside of misandry and evil god adorers.

    2:24 - you missed an opportunity to add the scene where Nettie poisons you. Would be a nice insult to injury 😄
    3:14 - in case you didn't know, Lesser Restoration removes Bloodless status. Very useful for all of the blood banks of Faerun 😉

      I never use it to get rid of Bloodless, though, since I personally take it as a badge of pride 🥰 I did use it to cure being poisoned but was very sad that the Bloodless went away

    Hells, practically every BG3 clip I've stumbled upon on RUclips has tavs looking so god damn good.
    Nice change of pace from all the "realistic" ugly-ish faces we've been fed in many modern games recently. It's just eye candy but it's nice to have if we're going to be looking at those characters during dialogue closeups

    My main character was a half-drow with pale skin (I had a whole thing going) and I was STILL getting all that racist b-s about being a "drow". Like bruh, looking at me, you'd think I was a high half-elf, not half-drow... It was kind of jarring every time they looked at me and were like OMG A DROW?! Like no, not really...
    It was especially weird because canonically, that character didn't know her heritage so she didn't know she was half-drow, lmao.

    One of my favorites is the Scholar who wants you to steal the Gith egg, and you can say “people think the same way of Drows” and she says “don’t worry. You’re the good one.”

    Got first hand experience with this as my first Drow character: a Pact of the Great Old One Seldarine Drow who has a long story essentially boiling down to her being a warlock by accident because she found what would be her Tome of Shadows and glimpsed the Far Realm through it. Her deal is she knows she's doomed, so she makes the best of her life by being a hero despite being terrified of her power. I imagine she kind of just shrugs such comments off and politely informs others of the differences in Drow when possible: after what she's seen and now fears, a couple rude comments are nothing.
    This is the very much shortened version of her story, but she remains one of my favorite characters.
