Maybe this sounds absurd and no I dont wan't more/less racism just observation.
Ok there were very few isntances in the game where I felt my character who was a Wild Orlan felt racially abused. Of course that encounter at the start with the elf also. Only that one guard in a certasin city says his disdain of "untrustworthy" orlans and an encounter with some pale elves.
Anyway it seemed like this huge press on religion instead of race in dialog without writing a page of text of spoilers. The reason I bring this up is because when you create your character it describes orlans as being generally mischievious ect and you have the whole background of where you are from but it seems to be of little regard generally speaking in dialog choices.
I dunno it just seemed like every community I went to generally speaking was so harmonious with each other and worked together happily but hated each other for being with a different faction or believed in a different god. Minor descriptive spoiler
Finnaly the games history books do explain there were racial tensions but one thing is reading it and another is playing your character in the present world.
Anyway what do you fine folks think :D
