Hmm,
(hexbear.net)
to be fair truestl also has stuff like this
Skyrim Beyond Morrowind in 2040.
Seriously though Dunmer society getting their shit kicked and having to basically make itself less overtly cruel to survive is one of the cooler post-Morrowind lore.
Also Vivec causing one of the most widespread destruction event in history of Tamriel as an oversight should have completely destroyed Sheogorath and Mehrunes Dagon. Should have not mock the almighty ALMSIVI, daedra godlets.
My current Morrowind playthrough is as Argonian John Brown so I will happily kill this person. (I recognize that it is satire)
Chudmer: huffing copium (skooma), abandoned by false gods, asses beat by own slaves, asses beat by daedra, fancy mountain exploded destroying ancestral homeland
Chad Histkin: thriving, moisturized, unconquered, invaded hell just to flex on the devil, tree gods granted shiny scales and lizard tiddies as reward
Azuracels stay losing
stupid sexy beastfolk ... how am I supposed to feel superior when I look at them and my peepee get excite?
This isn't oblivion this is a furry dating sim
Are those mods out already? That was fast
Do you guys posting in this thread seriously not read the obvious sarcasm? I’m guessing this is a jerk sub
It's not even sarcasm, it's facetiousness. On the bright side, it appears only two people actually failed to understand it, though that's still concerning.
a jerk sub
Yet another example of 
/
desperately searching for "culturally sanctioned xenophobia" to indulge in. Their deepest desire is to use slurs and not be ostracized for it.
Now that I think about it I'm giving star wars fans who overuse "clankers" a side eye too, people who get really into using fantasy slurs are more than a little sus
This is from trueSTL which is basically the cumtown of the Elder Scrolls fandom. I don't even know if this being "satire" changes your point but I wanted to give some context.
Yeah like I was about to say, who is reading this and getting "this person is serious" from it, they all but say "you've made them too damn sexy 😔 i can't handle it 😔"
I may have eaten the onion but my point stands. G*mers love to engage in fantasy/sci-fi racism/xenophobia whenever they get a chance
I haven’t kept up with Star Wars. What the fuck is a clanker?
Clone trooper slang for battle droids
I didn't realize how enthusiastic Bethesda players get over being wildly racist to animal people until those Dagoth Ur voice simulator videos started popping up and the comments were giving me flash backs to "Kill the furries with fire" shit.
those type of people exist but the text strikes me as satirical (you can question the merits of such satire for sure)
Yeah I get that a lot of it is satirical but I sometimes wonder how many are just using it as an outlet for their actual prejudices. I play on a WoW private server that is much better on stamping out the "But what's wrong with fascism? Hitler was a pretty cool guy" that permeates the vast majority of them but they get real excited when people start talking about how much they hate gnomes and I guess it's allowed because they're technically being prejudiced against a fantasy race. I've wondered that it doesn't translate to goblins at anywhere near the same frequency because the insinuation of antisemitic tropes is probably too close for comfort.
It has a lot of real world parallels, it's a wolf whistle, they talk about "backwards orc culture with their mud huts that only kill each other", "windhelm being ruined by migrants", "dunmer despite only making up 13% of the population", "argonians being farmtools that you may fuck every once in a while as a treat", "high elves control the world", "race mixing is altmer propaganda, it is not possible", "dagoth just cared about his people"
As always content made by Gamers is absolute vile trash
Yeah I can usually parse who is using the cover of "It's just a game bro" to insert lines that chuds like to trot out.
It baffles me that the nazi furries exist. Why even, every other nazi out there think it's "degeneracy" and they need to be killed.
Oblivion remastered does look really good sometimes, especially the character models. I thought I’d miss the charm of the original goofy potato faces but am consistently blown away by how good they look now nearly every time I talk to an npc. It’s everything I’d ever want in a remaster, great visual upgrade and minor qol fixes while leaving nearly all the original jank. If only it wasn’t such a pain to mod…
this seems too self-aware to be real
r/TrueSTL is the elder scrolls shitpost subreddit - it's definitely self aware, though the quality of their posts varies heavily

This bad post did give me a kinda good idea. So if your fantasy game is gonna have fantasy racism you could work that into the gameplay in an interesting way where character models and dialgoue options reflect the POV of the character. You'd need a whole system of how racist you are to who involved which could be done like the reputation system in fallout but in reverse where it's how your character perceives different groups. I think its a bad idea for elder scrolls and there aren't too many devs id trust to pull it off, Disco Elysium manages to come pretty close but its not a fantasy setting. I could see it working but damn the writers had better know what theyre doing with it.
Oblivion does have the patented Racism Chart™️ for dialogue
This is why I said the elder scrolls shouldn't do it.
Fable's karma system, but for racism
Fantasy racism exists in a lot of ttrpgs, though they've been kind of moving away from it in many games. The Warhammer games have it though.
I didn't mean fantasy racism in general, theres plenty of thar to go around but depicting it visually where you'll see different versions of character models depending on how your character views them. Then your racism meters can be hidden and it can come across meaningfully if the rest of the game is good
I don't see all that much value in giving a "racism vision" to the player that replaces character models with racial caricatures, because that's not how racism works and in fact severely obfuscates how it works, along with somewhat justifying racism and making the game into a heroic racism simulator if you feel like playing it that way (which many would). What some games already do, which is depict something true and give various interpretations that are more and less informed, is a much more helpful approach.
Yeah youre probably right. I think i generally like the concept of character models appearing different cause of character reasons but its maybe not the best way to use it, it's where the idea came from but is probably best use different. Graphical fidelity scaling to levels would be fun.
Sure, I think more generally it can be used to great effect -- the ending of one of my favorite games, OFF, uses it in a very emphatic way.
I definitely thinking gaining a visual zoom as an ability and things like that are worthwhile as well, though it should probably operate as an aside rather than a critical game mechanic if you're doing an open-ended RPG.
I was thinking of probably something less open ended in general, closer to a fallout 1 than a Skyrim.
imo DE is a fantasy setting (one that I really like) but whatever.
You know what I mean
yes
I despise dunmer
Oblivion isn't a furry dating sim. You need interesting characters for that
