    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
