Looks like I misremembered the quote, but he literally said, “There were no black people in medieval Bohemia. Period.” So not all of Europe, but at best, that is not something that can be said that definitively, and more likely is just plain wrong. There were people from Africa and the the middle east in Europe at the time and even church officials from Ethiopia.

In a game that is supposed to be about historical accuracy, it just kinda fails and even leans into nationalism over accuracy. That mixed with sexism (in game and real life from Vávra) and homophobia (which seems to be only in game) means a no go from me.

That quote is plain wrong for sure, port cities would of had plenty of diversity in the form of traders, rural Bohemia would of been a different story though I doubt many would have any interaction beyond stories.

So I wouldn't say the lack of poc is historically inaccurate given the size of the towns in game but I think the devs should have added travellers or a poc trader.

As to sexism there's a dlc which allows control of a female protagonist, it doesn't suffer the damsel in distress that some other stories do and was fairly enjoyable, bit of a bandade.

That's good. Hopefully the studio is learning from their more vocal mistakes.

I'll still miss this one. Vávra is outspoken about very terrible things and I can't support that. He has been quiet for a while, but I bet now that the new game has been announced we'll start seeing off the wall comments from him once again.

It was a highly grossing game so he'll probably have pr handlers and a tight leash, at least I hope he does
