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.
