Racism in Oblivion is child’s play. Morrowind had full on race based slavery.
There’s a quest where slavers/drug smugglers ask you to escort a Khajiit slave who has been forced to swallow a bunch of moon sugar. If you choose to complete the task, they’ll just kill her when she arrives to get the drugs.
There’s a couple quests where you can also return freed slaves back to their owners.
Funnily enough, even you play as a Dunmer lots of the Dunmer will still hate you because you have some kind of imperial accent.
Playing Telvanni can have you putting down slave rebellions.
The main antagonist of the game literally wants to create his own ethnostate.
Based and Dagothpilled.
I always thought the natives know your dark elf is an outlander because they don't have the raspy, 3-pack a day voice.
One time I used the Farming mod and Fliggs Slave mod to buy out every plantation in the Ascadian Isles. I had an empire with hundreds of Khajiit and Argonian slaves, which enabled my Princess (mod, alternative start where you are Helseth’s illegitimate child) to live a life of luxury. Thousands of septims on imported fancy dresses (mods lol), luxury houses, it was glorious.
Interesting, interesting.
Checks box for "Straight to the re-education camps after the revolution"
I make up for the fucked up things I do in video games with good praxis in the real world.
My Oblivion/Skyrim mod lists are far worse.
I start to make evil empires in stuff like that, RimWorld, and your Crusader Kings type games and inevitably get bored and annoyed because competent honesty with a modicum of mutual respect is usually so much more effective at exploiting the masses of the value of their labor.
Drag created a socialist utopia in Democracy 3 without all that much trouble. The trick is to start with prison reform to lower crime, and then implement policies which turn more of the population into environmentalists until there's enough support to ban cars.
Then drag tried to make a fascist dictatorship, and it's hard. Every policy which makes the core base happy ruins the economy! Debt, debt everywhere!
I wish the Twin Lamps were a full, proper faction.
You can do a few quests for Ilmeni Dren if you free enough slaves on your own - I think involvement with the Imperial Cult(?) can also get you the pass phrase. I also recall a decent faction mod that added to them.
