Do you think there would be a good idea for Bioware to implement racial hatring in the game ? For me, for instance, it was very strange in IWD2 and BG2 to see drows wandering without any problem at the surface. Most people would run or attack drow on sight. Or it was very strange for Viconia to join a team led by an elf.

Yes, I would like to see that kind of content in DA. Overcoming it would be a nice addition too tho. Like Lotr demonstrated with Gimli and Legolas.

it depends of the world they create. maybe there is no racism? :) though i would like to see some annoyances between races.

As KotOR said, ignorance is always in fashion ;). Racial tension in DA, (and possibly resolution to it) would make a more believable setting.

Elves and dwarves shouting curses at each other in a large hall full of politicians... sounds so nice.

And don't forget the obnoxious (and suicidal) human who tells a dwarf that he's as bald as and elf maids arse or says that the only difference between an elf and a rapier is that one is straight and pointed :devil:
I apparently have a high level of empathy, combined with a low level of sympathy... weird

Hahaha, that would rock. You could make yourself a cyborg, and role play Robocop xD

As for racial hatred, yeah I think it needs to be in the game. This adds realism value without detracting from the fun (necessarily) :P
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side.

I think racial hatred may be good, depending on the circumstances.
If there is a really evil race (e.g. drow-a-like) they should be hated by most good creatures. If it's just plain old boring done-a-million-times-before elf/dwarf mistrust, it would suck.

that would rock so much. or make it (since its no sci-fi mix like might and magic) make it a human-golem thing. instead of metal skin perhaps stone skin. :D
but a roboter would rock more. :lol:

And that?s realism for you. :P

Racial conflict could make life more interesting.
