I've been reading discussions around here, thinking up ideas of what to mod in (specifically, driders   ), and then remembered a "feature" from the Elder Scrolls games, how different races called different races differently. Elves of all kinds referred to themselves using their name for the races, like dunmer, altmer, etc. The Khajiit are always khajiit, but there are subraces that are sometimes referred to.

The basis of the suggestion - add name substitution tags to entities, much like bodygloss tags. In all speech, the names (or maybe even words) would be replaced with that in the tags. To keep it simple, something like [NAMEREF:drow:dark elf] will do, without taking plural forms or adjectives into account, relying on multiple entries for that.

This is mostly to "spice up" the dialogue. And to alter the weird introduction line "hello, human".

You should also have racistic names for different entities.
