made a racist conservative
Half of TES lore is about racism, oblivion even got a racism table for all the playable races.
I love playing khajiit. The slurs NPCs throw at me make me feel a little more alive.
After Tamriel Rebuilt and OpenMW have their next releases, I am absolutely playing as a khajiit through Morrowind’s main quest.
Look, Dagoth Ur was clearly into some drag.
“How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence.”
Go off Queen!
Is this how you honor the Sixth House, and the tribe unmourned? Come to me openly, and not by stealth. Bitches!
As long they don’t add pronouns. God forbid grammar in my games.
They made body type 1 & 2!!
OH THE HUMANITY!!
I NEED a mod to fix this thing that I literally only see for 5 seconds and then never again! I’m literally crying and shaking from the pain!
The problem with “body type” is that it is actually a gender selector too, but they don’t tell you that. If you’re body type 1 NPCs refer to you as she/her, and if you’re body type 2 NPCs refer to you as he/him. They needed to add a separate pronoun option, but didn’t, so right now the body type option is just the gender option but pretending not to be.
Exactly. It feels performative, because they didn’t take it far enough. Cyberpunk 2077 handled it very well, where you can separately choose whether or not your character has breasts, which genitalia they have, voice type, pronouns, etc… Since every single individual part is independently editable, there’s very little room for misgendering.
Cyberpunk actually ties your pronouns to your voice selection. You can’t have the feminine voice and be called he/him. There might be a mod for that, though.
They likely only have a dialogue script for masculine and feminine, which swaps both player and npc dialogue. They’d need four scripts and cutscenes timings to make both player voices work with both NPC pronoun uses.
In theory, if designed in advance, this shouldn’t be too bad right? Make the lines separate audio files, and when one ends (or is x% finished), trigger the next. Would probably suck to implement now the full game is out already, though. And for relatively little benefit (saying this as a trans/NB person) so I get why they didn’t add it after (or near) release. I do hope the next game does this better, though.

Ok fine, we can have one more that’s got dark skin as a curse.
In Warcraft orcs were deceived into thinking light skin was a blessing from the gods. In reality it’s poisoning from fel demons
Morrowind is a nuanced exploration of colonialism, thematically similar to Things Fall Apart. You want to read Morrowind with a copy of The Wretched of the Earth and Orientalism next to you for the full experience.
I’m currently playing OpenMW as Argonian and I’m glad a volcanic eruption took that shithole island out. Bunch of jerks!
There’s a god of gender fluid?

They usually have a favored appearance, though. Azura, for example, almost never manifests a masculine avatar. Boethiah shifts back and forth so much that their followers in Skyrim are depicted as switching pronouns mid sentence when referring to them.
Except for Hermaeus Mora, who could do that but doesn’t give a fuck and appears as random seafood garbage.
