Ironically, the person in charge of the game's historical accuracy was a woman. In Vice's rush to condemn this game for horseshit reasons, they ignore the fact that not only did a intelligent, driven woman work on the game, but that no hate or malice drove the decision to depict women in a certain manner, not to mention what Razor already did, that black people were not in this area of the world during the time period the game takes place in.
Let's make a period-accurate game about Operation Barbarossa told from the perspective of the Germans. I wonder if anybody would complain about there not being any playable black characters then.
Black guy here. Not only do I not mind there being no colored folk in the game, after 13 hours playing it so far...I don't plausibly see how you COULD fit a black person into the context of the world without completely shitting on the immersion.
The difference between "why'd they push this out with these bugs" and "aww, the bugs are part of the charm" hinges solely on whether or not Bethesda's name shows up in the credits.
The fact this has done so well already, will hopefully prove to the AAA devs that they should MAKE THE GAMES THEY FUCKING USE TO, instead of this casual bullshit, by no means is KCD perfect and there are things that I don't like about it, but the gameplay is solid, the combat system is one of the best I've played. RPG games should take note. This is the direction I want new RPG games to take.
I find it difficult to believe that some people actually think Moravia has something to do with the Moors. That's like saying the population of the Kingdom of Navarre were the Navajo. Just because the names are similar...
We live in a world where Christianity is edgy. Praise Jesus.
I give this game racist/10.

There actualy werent any black people in czech history
I spent a week in Prague 2 years ago and I saw exactly 1 resident black person. And he was a drug dealer, I swear to God almighty
Ah yes...everyone remembers the hordes of blacks in medieval Bohemia
Standing up to social justice instead of cowering to it pays. Take note triple A developers
The fact that this game being popular made the gaming media shit themselves was worth the $60 price tag alone.
Everyone who's awesome is endorsing this game. Everyone who's an SJW is crying about it. How could you not be sold?

"The game is racist"
Not enough black people/10

Kucktaku, polygon, and vice hated it? That's all I needed to hear to get me to buy it.
