    What we asked:

    Q: Which of the subraces that will be in IWD2 do you want to play the most?
    (562 votes total)

    Dark elf (drow) (247) 44%
    Aasimar (97) 17%
    Tiefling (88) 16%
    Wood elf (57) 10%
    Gold dwarf (22) 4%
    Deep gnome (svirfneblin) (20) 4%
    Ghostwise halfling (14) 2%
    Lightfoot halfling (10) 2%
    Gray dwarf (duergar) (7) 1%

    I'd love to say that I did not see this one coming but... Nah, we all knew that people have wanted to play dark elves since the original BG1 was released, and now they will be finally given a chance in Icewind Dale II.

    Almost half of all the people who voted (44%) want to play a drow more than anything.

    Aasimar are next on the popularity list, but quite far behind the drow. 17% of people who voted want to play an Aasimar most of all the new subraces.

    As usual, the other half of the people will take Tieflings over Aasimar any day. 16% of all voters decided that the more chaotic side is what they want.

    Wood elves are the fourth most popular subrace with 10% of people wanting to play them most. After these, a steep decline in the popularity of the other subraces becomes noticeable.

    For example, only 4% of people want to play Gold dwarves the most, and another 4% the svirfneblin (Deep gnomes).

    Both of the halfling subraces didn't do much better either, since only 2% of poll participants are especially excited over the Ghostwise halflings and another 2% over the Lightfoot halfling.

    At the rock bottom (heh), we have the duergar, which are obviously the least popular of all subraces (a whole 1% of people voted for them), which amazes me to no end. I would think that people would be at least as excited about them as about the drow, considering that the advantages of this subrace in IWD2 are pretty cool, if nothing else. So I have to wonder whether this unpopularity is due to most participants not knowing what a duergar is, or not seeing the advantages the subrace gets in IWD2. Of course it could also be that I'm the only one who thinks gray dwarves would be cool to play. *grin*

    Check our IWD2 subsection for more info on all of these subraces.
