Ok, but you play with a fixed reputation of 0 whatever you do, hostile guards spawn every time you enter a city, and everyone is hostile and/or running from you all the time save for main quest-critical characters and maybe a select few evil NPCs. That's the only way it'd remotely make sense in the game world. Would it be unplayable? Yes. Is it a good idea? No.
Ohh and Dritzz Do'Urden and the church never could buy a possitive reputation in that exact word at all... wait oh yeah... they did
I want drows in the DLCs adventures that don't involve the bhaalspawn saga (as "the black pits"). I would not care to have other drows NPC, but only if the devs give us the hell consequences of traveling with a member of the dark elvens.
@Tanthalas can a pool thread be merged with a non-pool thread?
Something like "i don't care" ;-) Which I think would get the most votes. I voted against because of the reasons described in extenso by @Drugar but since multiplayer is cooperative I don't really care if people want to play unrealistically overpowered. Hell it's fantasy after all ;-)
Hm. I would support it in an ideal world of infinite resources, but you would have to edit a lot of dialogue to make it work properly so I'm leaning towards no. I will refrain from voting for now until I have heard more arguments.
@Communard , you just want do see which side is winning before you join the fray, dont you? ;-)
Doesn't fit within well with the setting ... People in that part of the Sword Coast wouldn't react the same way to a drow and a human... It would be immersion breaking in my opinion.

Haha, not sure if it's even possible, I can't work out a way to view the results without voting...
darn it... didn't really think that through so I'm changing my answer to against here instead :P
Most likely because it would require heavy changes to dialouges (which they cannot do to that extent), I'd love for a playable drow only if all the dialouges would change until that point that people were to know of your reputation (be it bad or good) so that you will be more acceptable... or hated :P
But yea... (changed) vote against due to that the extent of dialouges needed to make it look good is not possible for them and I'd rather vote against than to have drows running around and being treated like common people.

its 51% to the blue team ( against ) vs 49% to the red team ( for ) - join us blue!!
Hmm, I'd certainly like to play as a Drow. I just don't think the Baldur's Gate stories provide a fitting (as in realistic) setting to implement them as a playable race. Maybe in future games?

Hmm, not sure, after all we must strive to maintain balance
Maybe just have an option to write in your own subrace. Isn't that what they allow in the Icewind Dales? That way officially you aren't a "drow" although you can still act as one if you want to.

You cant! Drows are chaotic, they dislike balance, you cant vote for them in the name of balance, it doesnt make any sense

@mch202, only good drows are chaotic, that happens because they're raised in an evil society, their laws and behavior are ruled by evil in all it's forms.
For a drow that run from underdark, that's a sign of renounce to the society as they know it, therefore they're chaotic.
Evil drows from underdark are normally evil, in fact a chaotic drow would not survive for long inside drow hierarchy, as any mistake there result in death or slavery normally.
I guess Edwin is ok as the best mage, better than your own, and Viconia is ok as a drow that can outshine your elven cleric but yeah let's not make overpowered pcs.
It's not like you could ever solo the game with certain characters.
Oh wait :P
Drow is unbalancing and Half-Orc with +1 Str, Con and minus on Int that plays no role isn't?
Magic resistance is strong, but it's the only thing they have as i see it.

Add Drow (Dark Elf) Race
http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/201/add-drow-dark-elf-race
I thinks its possible since I made a blunder with a poll earlier. Can't do it at the moment though.
Edit- Sorry, I think I'm just being pedantic.
