But with people insisting "Oh, gotta stick with the stock ones", having tieflings and dragonborn so thoroughly demolishing halflings is showing, yeah, no, new races absolutely attract attention and are popular enough to stand by themselves. This has well and simply proven it because if you showed someone that chart and then said "Yeah we're going to cut the 4th and 6th most popular option (also probably the 5th one as well given how people are about drow) and instead promote the dead last option like its actually important", you'd be laughed at. Long live Dragonborn and Tieflings, death to the "Gotta just have humans, various half humans, halflings, gnomes, elves and dwarves" paradigm.People getting their expectations from there means they're expecting Tieflings and Dragonborn, and I know for a fact there's a lot of people who have problems with both of them. Behold, player expectationAs that list shows, aesthetics is hell of important factor into why people will pick something. Everyone agrees Dragonborn don't have great stats as a player race, so there sure aren't at least 7.5 million BG3 Dragonborn running around due to stats..Could I play Dragonborn or Tieflings, the 4th and 6th most popular options per the Baldurs Gate 3 options there? Or would you decide instead that, no, the popular choices should be ignored and instead the least popular choice of halflings should be factored instead?</blockquote>
