Since everyone likes Arcanum portraits I think it would be interesting to find the sources of these portraits. Here's first:

Imagine being one of his staff, and always be afraid that you'll slip and call him General Sideburn.

just made a few via AI.. need to read up about how to write that file to add them to the game + convert to crappy 256 color BMP
What did you use to generate those? Some look like babyfaces but some are alright

stable diffusion. yeah need to sort out some bad ones, did it really quickly
i made around 1000 for baldur's gate and pathfinder, it has higher priority :P

if i get the time i can train an AI with the older portraits perhaps, make them look more in that style.

the orcish question does not parallel the jewish question, it parallels the german question.
image is made by a person who has a basic grasp of modern history
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_question

Obviously
I was being serious, I went over this before. Read the contents of the book, it has nothing to do with the jewish question.
in part, this was my error for not checking the Wikipedia link which has changed since I last linked to it. It's a reference to the post-WW2 German question, that is, the industrialization of Germany.
The half-orcs are germans, "the orcish question" isn't referring to "the jewish question" -- which I've seen claimed many times. The only similarity is the title itself, and there are many such titled "questions" throughout history, the content is completely different. It's referring to the post-ww2 german question of whether germany's industry should be revived and what threat it would pose to europe, which directly relates to the content of "the orcish question"
if your counterargument is "that's not victorian!", ahem, well...

I'm not sure how much more on the nose it can get than that.

I suggest reading the text yourself and seeing what conclusions you come to:
https://arcanum.fandom.com/wiki/The_Orcish_Question

Why would "the orcish question" be a parallel to "the jewish question" when the orcs aren't the parallel to the jews to begin with?
