'Die N'wah'
'Why won't you die?'
'Ive fought mudcraps much fiercer than you'
I once tried introducing a female friend to Morrowind back when I was at uni, and immediately she got upset by how mean people in the game were talking to her. I explained that was because she still had a low personality and reputation score and that just made her like it even less.
But the thing is games are not meant to resemble real life. Its ok for Drow, Orcs and Tieflings to be inherently evil, another great thing that is gone from RPGs now.
'My favourite race is dark elves' I once told another gamer friend. 'Oh they are evil right?' he asked, to which I explained 'ah but not always you see because they can be like Drizzt' ...
My god yes that was once a real life conversation I had. Now if you call dark elves evil IRL you probably get carted off to the gulag / gitmo.
Oh I once joined a roleplaying server in the early days of DDO, made a drow and stayed in character saying evil things and worshipping my bitch queen umberlee. I got kicked from most groups who didn't get it.
Playing as drow in BG3: everyone friendly to you, no one fears you, "evil" characters respect you. I feel like a princess! I want them to fear me, to hate me, but no... for everyone I meet I just beautiful little fairy! And what's more I hate is my characters reactions on events: snake kills a child? My mighty drow's face looks like a puppy about to cry. Not laughing or at least keeps calm. And there are so many "good" options in dialogs. Ahhh... it's hard to be evil this days.
