@Goon_Presence Dragon's Dogma 2 will always have a special place in my heart despite being kind of a rushed disappointment and at least 75% is thanks to this beautiful specimen
It’s simple.
All the races and species have their own countries and cultures that are distinct from one another.
In the case of these different races comingling, there is an established dynamic that feels realistic, like the Dunmer in Winterhold, to use a popular example.
When you go to a country in The Elder Scrolls, you don’t see downtown LA, you see a country that is more likely to exist in the time period that it’s emulating. Verisimilitude exists, and as a result people buy into it without thinking.
Exposures to other cultures in specific regions still happens, but it’s not overtly intrusive and more just a window into the outside world at times.
If you make it all make sense and distinctive, the average person is going to accept it. Many creatives forget that step.
