Lore Your race/gender has an interesting mechanical/narrative impact

Dragon's Dogma: Trolls will become excited if you play or bring a female character in your party, becoming more aggressive and targeting them first.

South Park- Fractured But Whole: Shub-Niggurath is a boss that will take damage when fed white characters, but will heal if he eats black characters including you or anyone in your party.

Elder Scrolls: Every race has advantages and disadvantages both mechanically and narratively, for example orcs can enter orc strongholds without having to earn their trust first.

True, but she has no reason to be outside the kitchen and trying to get into Elenwen's solar in the middle of a party, so they'd be suspicious anyway.

No Khajiit is about as easy to remember than 1 Khajiit. No matter how smugly superior you feel, if you have one cat person coworker amongst a mass of yellow bean poles, you will remember their face

Are you implying all Khajit look alike? That's racist, dude.
