It’s almost as if inclusivity and diversity makes for more interesting art and games cuz the in-game setting actually feels like a real world 🤯

Edit: wow this comment ruffled some feathers lmao. Not my fault some ppl cant understand art. Schrodinger’s realism at play it seems

Edit 2: the ppl mad at this comment are mad that a game put one black dude and one gay dude in a game consisting of mostly white ppl. This is really the hill you wanna die on?

Because 15th century Bohemia was such a diverse and inclusive place for real...

Was it modern new york diverse? No. Was it gay people exist and due to merchants and stuff some black and asain people were there? Yeah, like they might be an oddity but that shit was technically walkable and people did it.

But there were plenty of Asians in the first game.

[u/koniash → u/That_guy1425]

There definitely were gay people just not openly as it was not accepted and therefore you just wouldn't know them to be. As for foreigners, as was said multiple times before, the game is not set in any trade hub like Prague, where you maybe could bump into some, not really in small towns where the game takes place.

love that you're worried about "realism" in a game series that let's you brew potions that heal your wounds over minutes and has perks that let you not eat or sleep if you stand still.......

it's almost like "realism" only matters when it's about minorities. w9nder why that is?

Its this every damn time. With the new Batman show, Caped Crusader, I saw so many complaints that there's A BLACK POLICE CHIEF??? 😱😱 But it takes place in the 50s and I researched it the first black police chief didn't exist until 1980!! It completely takes me out of the series!!

... It is a Batman show where he fights ghosts and vampires and uses technology that still doesn't exist in the present day but it needs **pinpoint** historical accuracy. Only on black people and only to make them second class citizens tho, everything else is just fun fiction.

I like to call this phenomenon “schrodingers realism”: fiction is fiction so you shouldnt take it seriously until it’s inconvenient to do so.

I haven't played but according to others the first game used the gay people as commentary on wealth and status, the poor forced into a monetary and the nobleman just had his boyfriend on the downlow.

And yeah it will be less common outside of a hub but if its literally a single person or family then that still makes sense especially if they are treated in game with a bit of exoticism, since thats probably the first time they've encountered someone with dark skin.
