Hello, guy that never played a CRPG let alone a D&D session but played up until early Act 3 of BG3 here
I picked Tiefling as my first character because it looked more unique than Human and it also didn't look like like a fag or just straight up ugly, my only 3 choices would be human tiefling or dragonborn. I haven't played many games where I can create my character to be a cool demon looking guy.
