Most racist/sexist RPGs

[Gangrelrumbler]

So what are some RPGs where race and sex of the characters actually matter? Most of the time the consequences are so cosmetic it makes me wonder why do they even bother. Inspired by "RPGs where I can kill immigrants" thread

To start the thread. Here are some notable exaples. They are still pretty limited though:
-Might and Magic VI and VII - monsters have race/sex/row preference, and will focus their attacks on the most hated character. Can be missed by majority of players. I only realized that after goblins kept fucking-up my dwarven priest
-Fallout 1-2 - prostitution shit, everyone already knows that one
-Arcanum - some NPCs can be racists to half-orcs, women will have hard time getting int a gentlemen club (duh!), but can whore themselves to make-up for it
-DA:O different origins for different races and classes, bonus interactions when returning to the "home location", probably one of Bioware's best ideas
-Wizardry 8: if you play with a Mook character after reaching Armika he will split from the party for a day to visit his kinsmen. After return he will inform you that they are in possession of Chaos Moliri. Also, you need a male char for Al-Sedexus quest. Edit: I forgot about the stamina amulets which are extremely powerful (especially for bards and gadgeteers), and can be worn only by women.

Kenshi: all the weird races like fishmen and the skin bandits will attack anyone on sight, basically because they're not their race. the Holy Nation only likes humans and treats women as second class citizens.

lots of racism and xenophobia in the Elder Scrolls games.

and every single Rance game is sexist.

Never played it myself, but remember reading about Pokemon Red and the minstrel Jynx........

• On Gothic 1/2/3, woman are often slaves or housewifes, never fighters
• Gnomes on Arcanum are portraited like (((gnomes))) and half orcs heavily discirmined
• On VtMB almost all woman are sexworker and most criminals are brown/black

Asian vampires bad.

Asian vampires bad.

On World of Darkness, if i could choose between become a western vampire or a eastern vampire, i would chose the eastern. Not have a hardcap based on your sire "generation" is a huge plus...

Redguards start with 30 int & willpower in Morrowind and Oblivion compared to Breton's 50.
Females are generally all around weaker, and most females of a species even run slower than males in Oblivion.

I found racism in TES to be lacking in some cases. I'm a Khaijit in Morrowind, yet I am treated like a Dumner character except some negative reaction modifier when talking to some characters (and I'm not even sure of that).

 

[what am i doing]

Morrowind's different-race relation penalty is very minor, 5 points IIRC.

All this and no mention of fairy ninjas?

Arcanum is the best in this regard.

Playing a half-ogre is hilarious as most of them are dumb as bricks and treated like shit. But if you play a high int half-ogre who actually knows how to formulate proper sentences, people will quickly apologize for being rude to you.
The reverse happens when you play as a retarded human/elf/dwarf. Retarded but beautiful human female was one of my most fun playthroughs, people greet me courteously as if I'm a respectable lady but once I start talking they realize I'm a fucking idiot and try to exploit me in any way they can.
Playing a woman lets you do the brothel quests for Madam Lil, where you visit a customer at his own home and have sex with him.
The gentleman's club has already been mentioned.

No other RPG has so many reactions to your race and sex as Arcanum does.

Because of racism, this is Jynx now:

Jesus, to combat racism they gave her high blood pressure?

Evil cunts.

It didn't start with VI, in Isles of Terra, "Unholy Rangers" (or whatever they're called) would target your druid, remember this one from my last playthrough which made a specific dungeon quite painful, specially since the party was slightly under leveled.
A lot of monsters hate a specific class, not sure about races/genre.
It was probably there too in M&M I and II.

Just like real life, huh?

Fallout 2 people will discriminate on your toon for being tribal and also if you are porn star, slut and culturally enriche... i mean slaver. Womyn have tons of options to use their pussy pass in quest but as man you can pimp your shot-gun wedded spouse and do many more chad things, abhored today as sexism. Make you wonder how the same people could make Pozed game like Outer Worlds with no single brothel and blue balls for your PC while you can set up lesbian date for only not dyke female companion you got.

In Underrail Norwegians are seen by most people as a race of sub-humans, game also heavily incentives you to visit their villages, but not to learn about their culture and religion, but to mercilessly slaughter all men, women and elderly (thank God there're no kids in this horrid game). One of the quests also leads you to their cemetery and has you desecrate their dead relatives.

Fallout: Resurrection penalizes you for playing a woman by locking you out of a romance with local pedophile. There's also a questline where you help Albuquerque hospital kill racist tribals that attack their staff.

In Fallout: Nevada you get kicked out of your jazz band for not being black like the rest of the performers.

ATOM RPG shows some racism towards mutants and you can get hired, to wipe out some mutant settlements.

 

[Snufkin]

In arcanum orcs are like niggers and gnomes are jews.

 

[Gangrelrumbler]

Can you avoid that by playing a black character?

I don't know, my black character wasn't charismatic enough to start a band.

There's propably something else that ends your jazz career, as it's a very lucrative business.

 

[Lurker47]

I feel like the PC being allowed to be sexist and racist (against real world races) is more taboo in RPG's than eating babies.

 

[Cael]

Ultima 3 for sure. Can't remember about Ultima 1 and 2.

 

[Zer0wing]

In Fallout: Nevada you get kicked out of your jazz band for not being black like the rest of the performers.

Even better - the female player cannot be a jazz singer, only a stripper. Too bad you have to get back on your main quest eventually and not end the game as a stripper girl, funny alternate ending that would be.

Similar to restored content in Fallout 2- man can get hired by Shark Club pit boss to be a comedian, while females can only be "dancers".
