Most Chosen Races in Baldur’s Gate 3
Half-Elf, followed closely byHumanandElf, were the most popular choices for race in Baldur’s Gate 3. As someone playing a Half-Elf, I see the appeal of all three. What surprised me was Githyanki’s and Drow’s low spot on this list. Both races are not commonly playable in other Dungeons & Dragons games, so I expected them to be a popular choice in BG3.

Though I did feel a bit basic, seeing as I chose both Half-Elf and Paladin, the two most popular choices when creating a character.
