Lolth-Sworn Dow Vs Seldarine Drow: Which is more fun?

[R0S3R4BB1T]

After trying out all the races in this game I keep on coming back to the drow. I find it really interesting how Larian had made the separation of Lolth-Sworn clerics being able to pick Eilistraee and Seldarine drow clerics being able to pick Lolth. The eye color distinction thing was a little silly though I have to say considering the dialogue with the tiefling kid about red eyes belonging to Lolth-Sworn is kind of rendered pointless. Which subrace for drow did you guys find more fun? Or should I say which subrace had the most content as far as dialogue options and whatnot.

If you really don't like the eye color distinction, you can always just tick the box that unlocks all eye colors and pick the one you want, no?

As for which is more fun, I'm afraid I haven't played a Lolth-sworn to be able to usefully compare.

I seem to recall that there are some special dialogue choices that distinguish them, but nothing really stood out in terms of game-play. I can't confirm where I saw it, but I think Llolth-sworn have more such special dialogue options.

[Mike Garrison]

Mostly the Seldarine-specific options are just variations on "Hey, not all Drow follow Lolth, you know?"

I think lolth sworn is fun, the dialogue options are usually pretty good, but ive only played seldarine like once and it was a long time ago

There isn't too many Seldarine or Eilistraee lines. There are a few Eilistraee lines in Act 2 due to Eilistraee and Selune being friends, but not much.

LSD has a number of 'mean' things you can say. In a place or two, it seems like it ONLY offers up mean things to say.
SD did not seem to change a lot of dialog, other than the goblin awe effect plays for both kinds I think.

That's like asking what is your favorite color.

Lolth sworn, if you are playing as a woman, gives you unique dialog options when interacting with male Lolth sworn drow.

Some characters just assume you are "on their team" by virtue of your race and eyes. So you receive some unique dialog.

And, at times, assumptions are made about you b/c your people typically enslave others, etc. Some welcomes aren't as warm.

I enjoyed playing as one, but I've also enjoyed playing the other options I've played so far. All of them seem to open up unique bits of the game that won't be seen otherwise.

Well, here we go. Just as an eye colour fyi. Lolith's Drow are designated by the red iris's.

Seldarine Drow imo are the most interesting, roleplay wise.
You can be both a “good is not naïve” and “good is not soft” kind of a character, with justifying elements ascribed to your nature.
I’ve an entire family of drow Tavs at this point (all brothers and sisters, with one of them each time picked up by the Nautiloid), and I surrendered myself in creating a backstory for their clan dating back at least 2 generations.
