10 D&D Races Missing From Baldur's Gate 3 That Should Be Added

features a decent selection of races and subraces from which to choose in character creation. However, it doesn't have anywhere near the number of races and subraces that are available in, which is the tabletop RPG upon which is based and takes its setting from. While there are mods that allow Tav to be more races beyond those included in-game, official additions from Larian Studios could bring with them even more unique dialogue choices based on the races added.

However, racial traits can still make a difference when selecting a class. This means that adding more classes still allows any race and class combination to be viable, but can give some classes more of an edge depending on which races are chosen. This set of races makes sense to add not only based on the lack of stat differences, but most of them already exist in-game as NPCs.

Goblins already exist in , and they play a fairly large role in Act 1. The party can even poison the goblin party, which offers the chance for a goblin Tav to avoid suspicion when adding the poison as a unique feature, among other possible new interactions.
