Norrath is full of fantastic racism, though. So if you despise "racism" you shouldn't be playing this game. Nor any of these: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.p...ism/VideoGames

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura:

The orcs are consistently oppressed, discriminated against, and stereotyped as near-mindless subhumans. There's even a political screed in the game titled "The Orcish Problem". Half-orcs got the same treatment as orcs even though there was no difference in intelligence between them and humans. A half-orc labour organiser is one of the most eloquent NPCs in the game.

Elves and dwarves dislike each other due to differing philosophies of life and their placement on the Magic Versus Science meter (and magic and technology are actually opposed in this setting). While they're normally civil, the guards in Qintarra are very hostile towards dwarves. Elves and dwarves both dislike humans for their boundless ambition (which has caused no end of grief in the last several years), and orcs (because they're orcs), while elves treat half-elves with disdain. Nobody has a particular problem with gnomes or halflings, and half-ogres are only discriminated against in subtle ways (because pissing off someone that big is a really dumb idea).

Although from the video one of the DMO members posted awhile back I would say the P99 at large has no idea what RP is or can draw the line between fantasy and reality. Their responses were in the /ooc of the video. Truly the social media generation of self identifying with their character. [Posts Selfies]
