The Dragonborn is one of the most popular races in Baldur’s Gate 3, and they can perform many different roles in your party and work well with many classes. You might not be as excited about romancing characters while looking like a big lizard (or maybe you are, no judgment here), but the Dragonborn is awesome to behold and will serve your protagonist well if you play as one.
The Dragonborn are dragon humanoids with no relation to Skyrim. While they lack tails and wings, they still share some of the powers of their mighty ancestors, including a potent breath weapon and resisting certain elements. The Dragonborn can be descended from the evil Chromatic dragons or the good Metallice dragons, but that doesn’t necessarily influence their alignment or attitude toward life.
