The thing I take issue with in Larian's work so far, and the thing I'm concerned about seeing increasingly more of as the game moves forward, is the ingrained nature of racial negativity, in a way that causes everyone around it to act like it's normal and 'okay', and for our own character to be FORCED to go along with it as well. .
I think Niara made the best point and also provided the most fair solution here. Racism in Faerun is a thing - but we should have the ability to confront it / or not - how we see fit.
There is an elegance to this solution in that it doesn't rely on censorship - quite the opposite. Taking advantage of the tools we have available - it being an RPG - we can give people additional roleplaying options.
As a side note -Its interesting that The Absolute has united all these disparate races under a single banner despite there being significant racial tension between them. I mean Lolth Drow are serious racial supremacists. And my own perception of them up to this point was that they represented White Supremacy, Racial Nationalism but with purple/grey skin.
I wonder if I am the only one who ever viewed them that way? Any thoughts?
