Yo ho ho. I have no idea what I'm doing, I've only ever played half of BG1 and have limited knowledge of D&D. Gimme some fun suggestions.

I like the look of these dragon people... I'M NOT A FURRY SHUT UP

Dragonborn are among the more interesting-looking races. If you like the pretty shiny dragon people go for it.

As far as class goes, it depends on what you're going for. A combat monster? Sorcerer is good, especially dragon blooded. But think about going with a bard too. They're great for support but can also be decent in combat with 3 Warlock levels just to get Pact of the Blade so you can use whatever weapon you want, and of course Eldritch Blast (recommend the class perks that cause knockback and extra damage). Mostly though Bard gives you access to some hilarious dialogue options and Speak with Animals, which expands the available quest options. They're also good with any combo of companions, so you can pair up with a warrior, mage, and thief to have all the bases covered.

Dragonborn look cool during character creation but they don't emote as well as the other races during actual gameplay. Seeing as your character communicates with facial expressions 99.9% of the time, I kinda regretted my first run as a Dragonborn.

Like I said, I picked a Dragonborn for my first run for this exact reason

i think the race specific dialogue for them is pretty sparse also at least until later in the game

I'll keep that in mind
