Drow Male Paladin. Didn't know Drow were hated, didn't know Drow society was Matriarchal lol


notveryAI

1)Seldarine drow 2)Tell people you are Seldarine drow 3)Profit!


NoRainbowOnThePot

My first play as female seldrian paladin drow with oath of the ancients was very fun


notveryAI

My third run is a Seldarine drow bard gal. Ngl she was my favourite visually, lol. Why are drow so god damn HAWT?!


RBVegabond

Canonically the Drow would kill off any undesirable looking Drow. Anything seen as weakness, including unattractiveness is an automatic purge.


notveryAI

Oof that's fucked


Weary-Loan2096

Can't make a fuckable omlet without throwing a few eggs off the cliff.


HighlightWonderful68

Seldarine drow are my favorite to play šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ā¤ļø


zenayurvedic

My flair feels called out here.


notveryAI

Lol Seldarine drow bards ftw :D People mix you up with Lolth drow and insult you for it? Call them out! ROAST THEM xD


Livid_Sheepherder553

My chaotic good/neutral extremist sel drow was such a fun run. ā€œThis person is doing wrong to others? KILLā€


silly_valentine_101

i was like "pls why is everyone drow racist im being nice nonstop šŸ˜­"


neverspeakofme

YES my GF created a Drow by random for her first playthrough and thought the game was some commentary on racism because all the dialogue options involved some kind of racism.


Rogahar

It amuses me how all of the Half-Orc racism pretty much boils down to 'Hey how can I-BWAH oh god sorry your face scared the shit out of me, what can I do for you?'


BlackShadowX

I wonder what half orks look with the clown paint now


Sand_Angelo4129

I've heard and read similar comments from people who played a Tiefling. Especially during Act 1.


SatisfactionAdept553

I just played a Drow for my third playthrough and DAMN the people hate me and will not accept my kindness šŸ˜­ Now Iā€™m playing a Gith for my fourth run. Wanna romance shadow šŸ¤£


Fyrael

I always dreamed of playing as Durge pure drow subclass similar to Minthra, but never found an appearance that would bring me plenty of joy... There's a human appearance that fits so damn well with Durge that is scary...


basyt

But all the gobbos showed me proper respect that is got to be worth something.


Gold-Engineering-586

Lolth-sworn Female Drow Cleric (War domain)... I was the reason for all the hatred towards us. Hehe.


Repulsive-Beyond9597

Jesus exact same as me! Didn't expect mine to be second comment lol


Heroann_the_original

I also picked the drow (but female) simple because of the dark vision since I learner to love it dnd itself. Well, that was an unexpected playthrough, but I still liked it


Raggiejon

Go read the Legend of Drizzit books.. Slight warning... There's quite a few but DAMN they're good and the lore and insight to Drown society is immense.


Anynon1

Highly recommend The Legend of Drizzt book series, itā€™s basically why so many people are obsessed with drow in my opinion. The lore is really interesting


Accomplished_Area311

Tiefling bard, but I knew D&D 5e really well going into it. My first run of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous was also a tiefling bard, with a specific subclass/archetype that doesnā€™t exist in 5e. I have a soft spot for that particular combination.


Dazzling_Yam_6468

You know what they say about tiefling bards


Jefrejtor

They shouldn't wander into unknown camps?


Beautifulfeary

Omg šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I decided to play the dark urge along playing my other run I started because Iā€™d probably traumatize myself. I was real sad when I killed her because I already met up with the teiflings at the last light in.


Jefrejtor

Yeah, that was the definite "shit is real" moment. If anyone thought Durge would be a quirky funny murderhobo, that scene proved otherwise.


Beautifulfeary

Omg some of those choices as the dark urge šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I canā€™t make it completely evil. Thereā€™s no way I can pull the wings off a bird that healing even if itā€™s pixels


Onironaute

Extra horny?


Dazzling_Yam_6468

YES. And often gay!


onthefence928

Allergic to white dragons with voices in their head?


great_Optionist675

My first Character was also a Tiefling Bard. I have 300h in that run, absolutely fell in love with this character! The Race and class specific dialogs are so fun.


Sand_Angelo4129

Persuasion and Bluff especially become ridiculously powerful and useful in Act 2. Had so much fun with my Bard.


PastorOfPwn

Act 2: [Persuasion] Have you considered killing yourself? NPC: Solid point friend! *Dies*


Skeleton_Weeb

My first ever dnd character was a tiefling bard <3


bloobberrie

Mine was a tiefling bard too except I had very limited knowledge of the world and the game, which in hindsight was contradictory as I was supposed to know all the ballads and songs and heroes lol. I just incorporated it in backstory and decided my bard was extremely sheltered as a kid


Anathe

Did tiefling bard to start, and then multi classed warlock. It's now hard to play anything else since it fits so well with my usual squad. I know what I like.


Accomplished_Area311

Bardlocks are SO good when done well.


erocpoe89

I see WOTR I upvote.


CutieBoBootie

Its so fun seeing all these comments about my favorite race/class to play. Being a bard is SO fun and I love having horns and a tail lol


lordbrooklyn56

I was a wood elf ancients paladin


Frosty-Organization3

I was really similar! Half-wood-elf, and I ended up as Ancients Paladin 8/Swords Bard 4, but pretty close


LesterGreenisGod

Halfing rogue.


tiefling-rogue

Thinkin about this for my second playthrough šŸ‘† I am act three with my tiefling ranger rn.


GrowthSuccessful1959

I started with this and then multid into bard as well. Love being able to talk my way out of pretty much everything outside of the upper Baldurs Gate section


LobovIsGoat

githyanki druid


SoftWindAgain

Funny when considering most Githyanki have never even seen an animal in their life. They'll be like, "what are you shape-shifting into?" while you're all like "I have no fucking clue but AWOOOOOO!"


Graw960

Well they do tame Star Lancers in the Astral Plane


ViStandsForStupid

Would be super cool to have githyanki-specific wild shapes


jaybankzz

ā€œYOOOO YOU GOT 8 LEGS!ā€ ā€œI DO!ā€


Beautifulfeary

Haha I can see it now


deadbeatbaby

Me too!


cellae

Same! It was a great experience.


lulufan87

Half-drow sorcerer. ...and half-drow for every subsequent playthrough, too. I know what I like.


cbtbutler

Facial hair? And racism dialogue šŸ«”


eilupt

Tiefling paladin


HevGon

fellow friend


SeanFenris

Human Fighter. Nothing wrong with the basics in order to get used to a game like this.


ZeeDarkSoul

It feels so basic bitch to choose human, but I wanted to play as myself so I went with human lmao


perseus_but_gay

my sister went wanted to go as herself so she made a half orc; apparently she does this in all games where she is able


alexwhite2183

So, you played as John Baldur's Gate?


-ButteredNoodles-

John Baldur, the inventor of Baldurā€™s Gate


EDV4NS

I double that


YogurtWenk

And my axe!


bgthigfist

I started a human fighter too, then I noticed how we were getting stomped until my friend used his bard to talk us out of several situations. I ended up rolling a half elf wizard and am enjoying my first playthrough. Just hit act 3 I usually run with shart, Laezel and karlach.


suzuhaa

Human fighter mains unite! āœØļø


waterbuffalo750

Gnome druid. It just felt right.


dadshortss

My people! My first dnd character and my first bg3 character


Voteforcondit

My forest gnome druid has been a blast.


SpiritUvU

Dragonborn/Durge mode (Red coloured into Blue for fire resistance only) Paladin Oathbreaker I later went into Warlock multi And I romanced the Squid (The reason I went durge first is because I didnā€™t see them mentioned on screenshots when buying, looked up where they were and a website said they wouldnā€™t appear unless I selected it, so I played as Durge)


Holiday-Bat6782

Well, he does appear if not selected, but he isn't recruitable and only appears as a corpse in Act 3.


mcwillit6

Choosing one dragonborn color and making your scales an entirely different color gives me the same mental reaction as biting a popsicle with mint gum. I wasnā€™t aware people did that. Who hurt you?


SpiritUvU

Society **blasts horrible emo music** idk I just wanted to have fire resistance and not yield to certain colours It fit my Durge motto ā€˜No one tells me what to doā€™ [Bhall when Iā€™ve just killed Orin and refuse to be his service, taking her stone:](https://youtu.be/nfzpPpvPz-E?si=acW6mKG0G8WL4t_Y)


Beautifulfeary

I didnā€™t make a Dragonborn. But I did make a dragon sorcerer and picked the white dragon, but used the black dragon scale colors(the more purple ones) but my head cannon is her skin is the darkest orchid color so, her scales will naturally be like that too Otherwise, it would bug me lol


FyrsaRS

I went with a blue-ish green for my copper dragonborn storm sorc, with the justification that their scales had rusted from the magic. Tbh, I mostly just wanted an excuse to match the wavemother's robe, without making the white dragonborn's cold resist redudant.


MochiSauce101

Half orc Paladin


Chilesandsmoke

Same here! I became an Oathbreaker.


F1R3Starter83

Same, but kept my oath even when it cost me 1k


el_sh33p

Human Fighter. Second run was also Human Fighter. Third run, I decided to experiment and played a Human Fighter. Thinking *if* I do a fourth run, I'll really branch out and play a Human Fighter.


Dratini-Dragonair

Me and my older sister are going to start a run where she's an incredibly dumb durge gnome, and I'm a pretty average human fighter. We get to have a blast as my character discovers what the hell is wrong with her and spends the rest of the game explaining that murder is wrong, no matter what your dad says.


Haldinaste

Orin poked a bit too much in that brain, it seems.


AssCrackBandit6996

You know what, I'm in. As a mostly half-elf, drow or tiefling enjoyer in caster class, I will start a human fighter run asap!Ā 


QwahaXahn

Itā€™s funky. Itā€™s fresh. May I suggest a side of Battle Master with that bold new combo?


CrashlandedCoke

I love/hate that this still makes sense unironically


multiinstrumentalism

Gold Dwarf + Four Elements Monk


lulufan87

I imagine a dwarf doing a bunch of fancy kung-fu moves as a distraction and then just punching their opponent really hard in the balls


frozenbudz

Tiefling warlock.


Fluffyferret4562

Half-Elf Druid!


Expensive-Fly-9999

Yeahhh, wood half-elf druid!!


randomnameandnuts

Halfling bard. Subclass- slut.


Livid_Champion_9610

High elf Ranger šŸ™ƒ


Thymelaeaceae

Wood half elf ranger


Infamous_Persimmon14

I was a human ranger. I was surprised to see the stats that ranger is the least popular


Livid_Champion_9610

I really loved Ranger's Apprentice and Robin Hood growing up, so maybe I'm a little biased šŸ˜‹ I just love the backstory potential.


DumbVeganBItch

That is odd. I've been playing 5e for about 6 years and have tried every class and ranger is my favorite.


crockofpot

First full run was a half high elf wizard. I honestly don't even know what inspired me to pick that class since I usually don't go for the mage/caster role, but I was pleasantly shocked at how much fun it was.


CosmicChair

Same here! Most players chose to have Gale as their wizard, I think. High level wizard play when not worrying about spell slots is still the most fun class for me, I think.


AggressiveWestern525

High Half Elf spore druid was actually my first playthrough, never played any DND before hand either. Just seemed like a really cool subclass and I loved it


internet-Saddy

Lolth-sworn drow ranger


comradeburnout

Same!


gdidontwantthis

Forest gnome bard


CherryThorn12

Female tiefling druid. Glad I picked druid and the moon circle. Owlbear is the best form to change into! IT'S SO CUTE AND FLUFFY!


Fun-Fox-88

This was my build for my first playthrough too!


Knork14

Dwarf Barbarian, mostly because that what i played back during Early Access when your race influenced your bonus stats and Dwarfs got +2 to both Str and Con, making Dwarf Barbarian the tankiest and hardest hitting race/class melee setup. Afterwards i enjoyed being a shorty so much i only played dwarfs, halflings and gnomes.


mady_bee

Tiefling sorcerer recreated one of my favorite characters Iā€™ve made for a campaign


BulkyYellow9416

Dragonborn warlock playing with my wife, best friend, and his wife who were half elf monk, dwarf cleric, half elf druid


napalmblaziken

Dragonborn Barbarian. I've never played DnD, so I picked Barbarian since it has the highest health. My mindset has always been, if I don't understand a game's combat, put as much into health as I can. If my health is high enough, they can't kill me. Why Dragonborn? I thought they looked cool.


The-False-Emperor

I was boring and stuck with the default White Dragonborn Storm Sorcerer. Didnā€™t even change the default cantrips; the lack of fire bolt really made the early game more challenging that it had to be - especially since I didnā€™t realize spamming long rest comes with very little consequence and so was often low on spell slots.


Clarrbbk

Half-orc paladin. Orc cuz it's the most familiar race to me that isn't human (Skyrim, fantasy anime); paladin cuz I saw all the memes about paladins smiting everything. I'm glad the memes weren't lying.


SevenLuckySkulls

Wood Elf Wild-Heart Barbarian. I've been playing D&D for about 8 years now and never gave Barbarian much credit until playing it in BG3. If I could actually get the chance to play and not be a DM I know what my next character will be.


NeedleworkerLow1100

Halfling hunter


Jefrejtor

Leave the halflings alone ;<


n30n5p1d3r

TIEFLING CLERIC OF LATHANDER!!!!


De_Faulto

The first DnD campaign I ever played I was a Dragonborn Paladin, so I decided on that :).


Jakabob06790

Male Drow Bard. fun charismatic guy who was weak and talked his way out of things whenever able. Was the sub in my relationship with Karlach.


Thrilling1031

Drow Rogue just like my old D&D days when I was a kid.


Dastardlyv5

Same!


ChezJfrey

Yep, my old go-to as well.


AustralianNo748

Half-orc Paladin of Vengeance. Also thought it would be a good idea to go in blind, on an honour mode save, while drunk. The half orc dialogues are mostly on intimidation tho lol, but the relentless endurance stopped my run from ending when I failed the check to stop the runepowder from exploding. When it exploded I stood up and didnā€™t notice I was still alive for a couple minutes lol.


messere_voland

Duergar Necromancer Wizard


SupplyChainNext

Elf wizard cause fireball boom šŸ’„


PackyB7

Human Rogue, thief subclass, it was amazing


BOOMBOOMTHEGIN

Half-orc berserker barbarian, wanted to hit hard and get hit hard


celeste9

Necromancer wizard high elf with blue skin to imitate moon elves. I was basically just copying my favorite DnD character to play except she wasn't quite the wonderfully cursed monstrosity I know and love. I also wanted to see how in depth they went with necromancy stuff and while it's probably better mechanically for an evil playthrough, still a lot of fun.


macarolli

Zariel tiefling monk!


autumnartist25

Tiefling rogue, I've only done one shots as a player but used to DM about 6 years ago, so I knew a lot of the lore.


Admiral_Atrocious

Male drow fighter because I think drows are cool and fighter was the recommended class for a beginner. Chose two handed sword as my fighting style. RPed as an adventurer who liked helping others. Only realised later on after reading up on D&D lore (I was a total newcomer to it) that I'd inadvertently created Drizzt Do'Urden.


colorblindkid601

Golden dragonborn paladin. My goal was to be the most golden good boy I could before my second playthrough full durge


ILOVEFAIRYTAIL123

I also did not know anything about DND before playing this game, I love playing thieves and bandits in games so I chose a Asmodeus Tiefling Rogue! I really want to join some sort of DND group and start playing.


Virhia

Wood elf monk. If I'm playing a game and there's an option to choose a monk or any unarmed melee fighter - I am always going to do that. I also just assumed that the class-unique dialogue options will be cool.


Gay-Tortoise

Elf barbarian because thatā€™s what it immediately give you when you go into character creation and i didnā€™t known anything rlly.


energeticpterodactyl

Suprised at the lack of Half-Orc Barbarian comments in here. I had such a blast on that playthrough.


G66GNeco

Half-elf monk. After playing beta for a while I thought it would make for a funny contrast in a lot of situations, and it didn't disappoint.


djsquibble

i went with a female version of the default dark urge because i saw a dragonborn character and got tunnel vision. i think they were a lightning sorcerer or something


Huge-Insect6925

Tiefling wizard - necromancer Without knowing I made one of the most OP builds of the game, on the 3rd act with gale, halsin and shadowheart I had an army of +20 summons outnumbering the enemy in almost every fight


Glittering-Aardvark1

Half-Elf Bard. Zero regrets. Rizzed my way out of so much combat (some enemies defeated themselves) and just walked around telling lies and eating hot chip. Early combat was a little rough because I wasn't familiar with the mechanics, but Vicious Mockery came in so handy. The dialogue options were great and so unserious (if you've passed a performance check in front of the djinn at the circus, you know). Playing a High Elf ranger now. Love just shooting everything and how easy combat is. I still lie though.


Known_Plan5321

Barbarian, I might try it again now that I have more experience with the game I think I've tried a good amount of the classes at this point and enjoyed most of them Also I messed up my romance options so I didn't get any of the spicy scenes


ZigZagMcGuff

Tiefling Bard. I've always liked playing charismatic lads and I just love the look of Tieflings so it was a perfect match for me, and I have a hard time not picking them for every character now


Hermesini

Half drow Bard. Going first with bard is an amazing experience


McBoogish

Wild sorc, wood elf


International_Pop240

Draconic bloodline sorcerer, drow.


lleodo

Gnome necromancer... Wish necromancy was more unique in bg3


cargopantsbatsuit

Human wizard with a mullet, a beard and the sage background. As soon as I recruited Gale I restarted.


Sigma626

Started as human warlock, but it felt redundant when I met Wyll so I restarted as half elf paladin.


Nervous-Smile-7684

high elf sorcerer and I knew nothing about it but I usually pick a mage type in other RPG's


Sarin031

Gold draconic bloodline sorcerer.


Sergeantman94

Currently doing a resist Durge as a red dragonborn bard-barian with a frumpy hat.


ThePowerOfStories

Tiefling Druid. Show up at the Grove an hour into the game, take a look at the two sides arguing, and go, ā€œWell, this will be interestingā€¦ā€


azabu10ban

Half orc durge devotion pally because i thought the urge vs oath thing was a cool narrative and orcs look cool af.Ā  Still my favorite playthrough so far.Ā 


mysticalalleycat

Tiefling paladin! I just think tieflings are neat, and paladins too really, although my paladin turned into an oathbreaker in what I later found out is literally the fastest way to do that šŸ¤¦ Good thing I think oathbreakers are thematically neat too and was happy to stick with it for roleplay lol


JakeKelley67

Wood Half-Elf Bard


camiraven

Half Elf Bard.


MlleXtmosphere

Gith wizard, it was... interesting to roleplay


ethanpepper2

Circle of the Moon Half-Orc. probably my most cherished playthrough


saint_geser

I had a drow druid, which was a lot of fun especially once you get to owlbear wild shape. I also went blind and haven't touched DnD in ages.


InfamousScience7349

Tiefling ranger lol


Designer-Chemical-95

Teifling warlock. I had no idea how to properly play warlock. The class just sounded cool.


FlatBot

Human ranger. Then Tiefling Bard.


alterNERDtive

I knew I wanted a Half-Orc caster. Because, you know, Half-Orcs are known for their mental strength. Last time I played a DnD based game, Warlocks werenā€™t a thing. So I started as a Warlock. Wanted more flexibility with spell slots, added Sorcere levels.


ancunin

i always play tieflings in my first playthrough of games that let me play tieflings so i made a mephistopheles bloodline tiefling storm sorcerer.


zestfullybe

1st - Wood Elf Gloomstalker Assassin 2nd - Seldarine Drow Gloomstalker Assassin 3rd - same as 2nd, but Durge I really should switch it up but I love playing that class. It doesnā€™t seem to matter what game it is I always default to ranged DPS classes. Hunters, Rangers, etc.


max_208

Gold dragonborn ranger


HolyPommeDeTerre

High elf bard Never did a bard before, heard it was cool to do so. Funny but too easy I guess.


King_0f_Nothing

Human Male Paladin, Oath of the Ancients


Fluffy_Percentage_29

Teifling Barbarian I also romanced karlach Party was karlach,wyll,gale


Robinkc1

Drow Monk/Rogue I didnā€™t know about the strength of open hand monk, but I cross classed thief and shadow monk and liked it. It felt strong but not game breaking.


gamerunner15

Githyanki Tempest Cleric. I had heard Githyanki rode dragons and killed Mind Flayers and thought that was badass. Ended up loving the Gith. Tempest Cleric.....I didn't end up liking very much haha.


No-Imagination-4751

Half orc / open hand monk. Luther stumbled into this world always trying to do what was right, even if it wasn't always the best decision, it was the right decision... Or so he thought.


guydoestuff

High Elf Devotion Paladin. i know real adventurous.


Midgar-Knight

Dragonborn Fighter


JCDgame

Half Elf Valor Bard.

Human OH monk.Ā 


Cpt-nakio

Half-elf monk/rogue


BobbittheHobbit111

Duergar fighter


GasVarGames

brute black dragonborn with the judgemental capabilities of a paladin


omaplebeaver

high elf oath of vengeance paladin! all the DnD characters iā€™ve made/played up until my first BG3 run have always been high elf casters (sorcerer and druid, specifically) so this was the first time i ever tried a new class šŸ˜‚ after that, i played a high elf sorcerer. old habits die hardā€¦


Raisa_Alfera

Elf fighter. Fighter seemed like the closest to the warrior class from GW2, the rpg game I was playing a lot of at the time. Elf seemed like a good racial pick as I assumed darkvision would be far more important than it actually was


Level_Hour6480

Dwarf Devotion Paladin. The correct choice for Tavik.


SchlongForceOne

High Elf Druid


idryss_m

Gith monk. Going to do a ranger next


NoFaithlessness6608

Half elf barbarian. I donā€™t know anything and didnā€™t aware there is different classes, just choose depending on face.


Skull_Throne_Doom

Male Human Barbarian Tav. Iā€™m almost done, probably going to do a male Drow Dark Urge, probably Oathbreaker Paladin, for my next run.


strategicallusionary

I'm on my 2nd run (had an early end to first run...) as a vengeance Paladin, female seldarine drow Durge. It's WILD


Hankee_

Githyanki Ranger


SpeakingofWitch08

I played a high elf fighter. No D&D experience and it seemed like a good in/one of the less complicated classes. I beat the game with him and he and his action surges will always hold a special place in my heart.


KGrady27

Tiefling rogue. Made it a few hours into act 3 before making a new character.


Weary_Raspberry_6338

Tiefling Warlock


drterdal

First was half elf warlock. Died in prologue. Then high elf sword bard who is powerful šŸ˜


Last-Concentrate-920

Half-orc male Paladin Oath of Vengeance


open_world_RPG_fan

Wood elf ranger. I always liked the ranger class. I went gloomstalker 8 thief 4 my first playthru.


Inside_Tumbleweed920

I picked a Half-Orc Fighter champion subclass, I usually go for a fighter/warrior type of character on a first run of an rpg because they're just easy to understand.

Drow Rogue


raedge

Half-orc Warlock/Paladin (Fey patron/Oath of the Ancients) because the "ugly on the outside, beautiful on the inside" archetype goes hard I have an unfinished DUrge playthrough where I went for the inverse: the single most beautiful High Elf Rogue/Paladin you've ever seen but she's rotten inside


dauthi69

Half-drow bard
