I tried a racism speedrun last night. First tried it in Morrowind. Wasn't keeping time, so no idea exactly how long it took me to get called fetcher. Heard something like fetcher amidst the chaos and pressed Alt+F4. Then I tried Daggerfall.

Zoomed through Priveteer's Hold. Found out you can make enemies fight eachother, at least in the Unity version. Got out and warped to the mearest town. Asked someone for work until they said something racist. Took about 2-3 minutes.

You can get that time down to a few seconds in the Unity version by deselecting the 'start in dungeon' option in the launcher. You spawn outside and can instantly warp to town to receive your racial abuse.

The enemy infighting is neat, been really enjoying the language overhaul mod that lets you recruit pacified enemies to follow you around.

Is just flavor;
If they curse me as a Redguard, they cursed me as a Breton and so on.

Did you want get racism? Try Oblivion. Piss off someone with the persuasion mini-game and pass by next time. You'll be surprised.

Too easy. You get hit with racism instantly in Oblivion. A racism longrun with mods is the real challenge there.

I wanted to try to do this as legit as possible. I've been through Priveteer's Hold so many times it barely matters, anyway. Just zoom to the chair in the skeleton room and pull the lever. Remembering what door has the exit is the main challenge. Got to witness a thief get killed by a rat, which I didn't know was possible.

Thanks for teaching me something new, racism.
 
Hate to be that guy, but... didn't it get mentioned on here a while back that the previous story idea was that neither side of the Skyrim Civil War canonically ends up winning? There was some talking with Kurt Kuhlmann, one of Bethesda's lore guys; @HTTP Error 404 brought it up here.

Apparently, the original story beat was that the Thalmor ultimately won the second war regardless of whichever side won; the elves were going to officially take center stage as the ultimate villains of the setting, and ES6 was going to be all about going after them. Hence, why there was never a clear winner in Skyrim's story; both sides (were supposed to) end up losing in the end, regardless.

EDIT: Added some detail; sorry about the confusion.

The Civil War? It logically makes sense that nobody will actually "win" it as your side doesn't actually "win" it at the end of the quest line. (pockets of resistance exist, moot still hasn't taken place)

But try telling that to people who honestly support either side unironically.

Yeah, the Civil War, that's what I was talking about - I'll edit that right now.

It does feel like something of a cop-out, really, but at the very least it answers the question of "which side would hurt the Thalmor more".

An independent Skyrim is all but certain to support the Empire against the Thalmor regardless of previous conflict. More out of sheer spite and hatred for those knife-ears, but really who can blame them. All the good Aldmer became Chimer and migrated to Morrowind ages ago or bred the almighty Breton into existence, thus becoming them. Lorkhan was right.

Let's face it; the elves are just begging to get destroyed, aren't they?

Honestly, all this is making me wonder what the other provinces would do; I mean, we know the Khajiit are allies with the elves, but there's plenty of dissenters. Pretty sure the Argonians would be happy to re-enact the Oblivion Crisis again. Bretons would be happy to fight as well.

Ulfric was caught, bound, and gagged so he couldn't Thu'um anyone to death, and the Thalmor were even sent an invite so they could be there to verify his death as a means of asserting Imperial authority.

"Yeah, see this rebel here? He's dead. Skyrim is totally 100% under Imperial control. No need for you to keep your goons around for security reasons, thank you kindly."

On later playthrough and reading the dossier, I took the Thalmor being there as "we're here to take custody of the prisoner" (so he can escape later) and Tullius politely telling them off.

Pretty sure there was a lot of stuff cut from the intro of the game including Tullius arguing with the Thalmor since they were trying to take Ulfric away, tried looking it up but could only find a cut intro cinematic narrated by Esbern.
