This was my experience as a Star Trek fan playing Baldurs Gate 3 with little to no prior knowledge of the DnD/Forgotten Realms universe and lore
Auntie Ethel is racist to my friend's half-elf Tav and apparently half elves often don't fit into either elven or human culture?
Wow my friend is like Spock 😃
Elves are a bunch of haughty pointy eared snobs and age much slower who also don't sleep normally and mostly meditate to restore their energy?
Wow just like Vulcans 😃
The Gith are a warrior culture obsessed with strength who speak harshly and have a seriously fucked up government along with political succession issues?
Wow Gith are like Klingons😃
Our companion has to try and navigate the complexities of her culture and wishes to regain her place among them while learning it's not all she was taught to believe it was and that mindlessly following her cultural leaders isn't always best?
Wow Lae'zel is like Worf 😃
Our companion was taken from her parents and brainwashed as a child and now with her newfound sense of individuality can try and reckon with her identity from before?
Wow Shadowheart is like Seven of Nine 😃
The Drow are a bunch of ruthless pointy eared psychopaths who love backstabbing and have a penchant for subterfuge?
Wow Drow are like Romulans 😃
There is a race that implants parasites or nanites into hosts, assimilating them into mindless drones and subjugating their personality unless their link to the hive mind is disrupted?
Wow Mindflayers are like Borg 😃
I’m annoying to play with and will continue to get worse. My brainrot has just begun.

Romulan Dictionary
So I went looking for this site and it appears to be down now, probably a casualty to the whole geocities thing. I wish I could credit the original author (trraith according to the document I have), if anyone has a direct link/is this person please hit me up.
Otherwise, please enjoy the English->Rihannsu (Romulan) dictionary.
To keep this from spiraling and taking up someone's whole dash, I will be replying with cuts for each letter (Z and X had no entries at the time of my saving this. If there is a more updated version of this list I would love to hear about it.)
Please reblog the final entry only, linked here. I will also pin it.
