'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.
You are pointing out a problem i find in some video games, i know this going to hurt the feelings of some (and some will agree with me because they are the minority in a country either they be white, black, asian, hispanic, indian etc...), they are bringing some of our worlds views and concept, like racism in a fantasy setting, but it is unnerving when the player have to undergo the racism in question (myself i can sympathise with the Tiefling, even if i am not one ) it is not a pleasant emotion, but i can get through this, and what i like is when the racism in question is punished in the game it is better, i find it weird and non logical to promote a bad behaviour, it is like if the game in question is apologizing racism. (I didn't say it is the case in Baldur's gate 3)
But i know some players want to be the f***** up character they want to be and they cannot be in real life, so better be in fantasy than in life, no ?
