I have 3 runs and all of them were tieflings. Next run will also be a tiefling. I just can’t make any other character but a tiefling.

I'm probably boring but I find it difficult to get invested in a character that doesn't look "real". Differently colored skin is fine, but adding horns, tails, or tusks just takes me out of it and I don't feel connected to the character. Most of my characters have been humans and half elves.
Hells I sound so vanilla.
That’s why I almost always choose some variation of elves. I’m more of a self-insert player so I want something that’s human-adjacent without actually being human (I already rolled a human IRL, it’s boring lol). Elves, Half-Elves, and Drow fit well.
I'm the same way with self-inserts. It's fun to play someone like me without actually being me. Something close and relatable, but still fantastical and awesome. I have yet to roll up an elf in BG3 but that might be my next character.
