Some Jews (who were expelled from Kuttenberg) and gypsies that startet to settle in the area around that time would make sense (do Americans consider them white?).

[@ivoryowl]

I think first and foremost people need to specify what they mean with "diversity". The American definition of "diversity" usually means more "girlbosses", black people and LGBT. Everyone else usually means more ethnicities; that are defined by their country, language, culture and religion. If Kingdom Come 2 decided to include French, Italians or Austrians going on a pilgrimage, or the rare Arab or Mongolian that are part of a trade coalition, it would fit the criteria of "diversity" while still being historically accurate. The only "issue" with this is that it wouldn't satisfy the American people that have come to associate "diversity" with a very narrow definition of that word. Those people should keep in mind the world doesn't revolve around them, their politics and worldviews, and true diversity starts with accepting that reality.

As a history teacher, this is nitpicking at best. If it’s a game set in an historical period, then they should stick to that. Were there Africans in medieval Bohemian? Very very very few as a matter of fact, the term “people of color” is very broad during this time, Cumans could have sometimes been classified as a person of color due to the tone of their skin. Bohemian during this time was overwhelmingly Czech and German. This is historical fact. Shame on them for trying to inject their shitty narrative into a video game. Rant over!

[@arturoroldan4839]

The question is what would be doing an african in Bohemia in this period? If North African, they were muslims and were at constant war with southern European nations, so their access to mainland Europe is almost discarded. And don´t get me started with Sub-Saharian Africa, whose entire population not only did not know what Europe was, but moors (north africans) used them as slaves in what is nowadays Mauritania. So a subsaharian person freely travelling through the land of the moors, then through all of Europe to get to Bohemia is beyond fiction, just plain ridiculous. And is not like they knew how to sail either (as if that would change something, they would hvae been intercepted by moors on the sea anyways).

[@rauchgranate5648]

Greetings from Germany, Hello, fellow history teacher. I think, that you said near everything, that I had on my mind. A game with a historical setting, shoud be believable at least. And for diversity; if historical accurate, it may even be more "ra***t" than not including it. Or better said, it might hurt the feelings of those who asked for it. The "Mohr" was not very commen in 1400 Bohemia if at all. And Islam was still far away (Konstantinopel was still christian, for the next 40 years). The only diversity that might has a place in the game, woud be the jews. (And this woud be around 11 years, after the Parger Progrom.)

I'm so tired of the thought process "different skin color = diversity". People never take into account cultures and backgrounds causing natural diversity.

A good bit of it is unironically the ladder. A lot of people and a lot of specific people hate European culture and history and tradition, purely because of the ethnic backgrounds of the people involved. You will never find most media groups acting this way about African culture, Asian culture, jewish culture, Arabic culture, any culture that isn’t European culture or European descendant culture will ever get this level of unnatural hatred, and neither should they honestly, but let’s be honest here in that these big media conglomerates and its supporters have it out against, and actively advocate against, white people and white culture. So when they see a modern historical action rpg that is set right in the middle of one of the whitest possible places on earth, and there isn’t a shred of darkness in it unlike every other adaptation of similar time periods in Europe?

Shhhhh! Accept your replacement, but don’t point out that you’re being replaced, it’s just a conspiracy theory!

Don’t be a bigot, of course Charles iv was really named Jaquarius darius Cyrus junior cuh. We’re gonna replace nearly every person in the European set piece of media with anybody except Europeans, but if y’all do that with any other culture you’re a bigot!

[@Deathelement53]

@Nunya_Argo79 Europe also wasn't as closed off in the 14th-15th century as everyone thinks it was, they 100% had people from all over the Mediterranean in their countries trade roads, rivers, ports and large cities and it wouldn't have been odd to have a non white person come through the village every couple months or so and the people would have loved ti go and meet them because socialization was the major pass time of everyone They also don't give a fuck about race the way modern people do. They absolutely would have taken in a black Christian into their homes no problem because they mostly just cared if you were Christian but they weren't going to throw shit at you just because you weren't

[@SanctusPaulus1962]

​@@Deathelement53 There could be the odd dark person or two in big cities like Prague, but in random small villages in Bohemia? Not likely. Arabs and Africans would often trade with Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Spain, Byzantine empire etc., however it wouldn't make much sense for many of them to venture so far inland to Bohemia, unless they were there as some sort of diplomat. But you're right, people back then didn't see skin colour the same way we see it now. Somehow people back then had more of an understanding of the fact that people are still people even if they have different skin colours than some people do today. "Race" wasn't really a concept before the 17th century.

My whole issue with "diversity" based on skin color is that it is such an American-only concept. In other parts of the world, "culture" is much more tied to ethnicity and nationality and people understand "closeness" of cultures.

[@sovobor7681]

The biggest problem with diversity is that people do not talk about languanges. It is truth that young man went to the world to study, but at same time they went same world. Czechs traveled around Lands of Czech Crown, french traveled around France ect. Sometimes they traveled abroad, but often they stayed homeland. That is reason why Europe is so linguistically diverse. P.S. I know that people traveled or studied around Europe, but my point was these people were rare and that is the reason, why we have so many different languages and slangs in Europe. In another words, if people call for bigger diversity in KC:D, then they should call for greeks, french, italians, germans, hungarians, moravians, silesians or sorbs and not for pygmeys, persians or japans.

They went on pilgrimages to other countries (usually places in modern day France and Italy), and nobles even went to other countries to study. These are all European countries, of course.

One of the problems I personally had with it was her assertion that it's 'just a video game', when she has clearly displayed and said on numerous occasions that KCD means more than that to her (look at her emotional reaction to the KCD2 reveal). So which one is it? Also, one of the major SELLING POINTS of KCD is its historical accuracy, so it's much more important here than in most other games.

But since he or she is transgender I guess I should not have been surprised. There were very few black people in Central Europe at this time. Trying to say there were more is just people lying to themselves. If they had been wandering around, they would likely have been attacked, rightly or wrongly, for being different. People were not as tolerant then. Metatron has a video on this and completely debunks this whole idea of diversity in 1403 Bohemia. And yes, for people who think this didn't come up, it definitely did come up when the first game was being released and yes, they have brought it up again this time as well.

Ah, how I wish humans could be civilized. I agree. I have found caving to demand for race/gender varriation ect to not help a game and at times harm it. The focus needs to be the narrative and core gameplay mechanics. I loved the first game. I want the next one to be as immersive - that was my draw. I have enjoyed the woman's lot dlc and spent many real world hours playing as Teresa. It was a well done project. I have met and befriended many people of various races, orientations genders ect. To me that's nothing- I enjoy who each is as a person and seeing different cultures through them. It was something I liked about Assassin's creed until they compromised so much to outside pressure (and the all might $) I dropped the franchise. Sad. Open world single player is my main stay. Really. If you want to get down to it the people spouting the crap about diversity should consider if perhaps they themselves are the racist. True diversity in today's culture is the acceptance of all and not whining that colour or something comes over the individual's creation. For gosh sakes! make your own story in whatever way you like. I know several creators on KZbin or other platforms that i have enjoyed and they have homosexuals in as the main characters 🙄. They are well written and as engaging as the best I've read/ seen. Quality. I'm not about to insist they change girl girl to boy boy or boy girl ect. Their work of art. It's good. End of the matter. If you feel a lack of diverse content get out there. Make your own.

Actually, Warhorse already stated unambiguously that the publisher gave them freedom to do as they pleased, and they don't really need to cater to a wider audience for KCD2 to be a success. So I wholeheartedly hope that KCD 2 is more diverse, and that Warhorse studios have the gonads to show exactly what that means in medieval Europe. Show a small jew community, how they were barely tolerated or openly hated for the money lending practices common at the time. Get an escort mission in which some rabble attacks a jew merchant you are protecting and get the baddies explain the historical context of all the above. Get some theological debate in the university between some muslim scholar and Christian theologians, and show how they saw each other and in the eyes of the plebs... that would be truly interesting. Show the white slave trade common in the area at the time, throw some black slaves owned by some foreign trader and show how all of them how they were treated and how people ended as slaves in foreign countries. I'll pay good money for a historical depiction of any and all of the above in KCD.

[@holextv5595]

There wasn't white slave trade in that area, this was in 9-10th century and it was cancelled by saint Adalbert. Anyway Czech slave hunter's and Prague slavery is interesting topic. But still not 15th century.

@@holextv5595 Lol, no. Christians nations forbade Christian slaves, Muslims nations forbade Muslim slaves, but it was a-ok to have slaves from other faiths. Incidently, local heresies count as "others", so if the Waldesians from KCD 1 ever got caught is was going to be either burning at the stake or sold as slaves. Besides that, slavery was widespread at the time in the Balkans, a short stone throw from Bohemia and persisted for a very long time (specifically until the fall of the Ottoman empire @early XX century). According to wikipedia, 2.5 million slaves were traded in the Black Sea slave trade between 1453 to 1700, way past the KCD timeline, and before that it was even worse.

[@lost6516]

I think Kingdom Of Heaven did diversity in a medieval setting pretty well, but in that case it was a bunch of crusaders coming back, so you had people from all different backgrounds who'd come with Balien's father, at no point did it feel forced. So that may be an effective way to bring diversity in, so long as it isnt just a character who Henry can acknowledge and then ignore for the rest of the game. One of the biggest problems for diversity in my opinion is the fact the game's set in Bohemia, pretty much as land locked in Europe as you can get, not many easy sea or trade routes to follow. I feel like it would be nice for their to be a little bit of flavour, as long as it is based on the people who'd have a genuine reason to be in Bohemia, such as the German in the opening of the game. Maybe even some foreign mercenaries or something like that. It doesn't have to be a hard no, but also doesn't have to be a resounding yes. And could be a way to access some unique gear or missions which would be neat to have, So long as theirs a historical reason, I see no reason why their cant be a few interesting charcacters. But it shouldn't effect the general make up of a very geographically isolated Kingdom

I strongly believe in diversity. Diversity, however, is not just making sure every piece of media includes every possible race of people. Respecting diversity also means letting native people tell their own stories in their own way. This game was conceived, written, and developed by Czech people, living in their native land, who are telling the history of their own land and their own people. And that should be respected.

[@zekeolopwi6642]

Look, I'm just gonna say it cuz I'm not gonna pretend to understand both sides, people need to shut up about diversity, especially in historical settings. I'm saying this a minority myself (pacific Islander). Like, academically, it makes no sense because there's little substantial evidence. Logically, from a gaming perspective, it makes little sense because why would the race of an npc or main character change the way you play unless you get really racist and give africans a speed buff. Then even politically, it makes no sense because the ideology of the past was so antithetical to the modern progressive ideology that putting in diversity would just make the minorities be abused and give them a reason to hate the game.

[@christopherkucia1071]

Well actually is different races DO have different strengths, weaknesses and plain generalized different things with our cultures. It’s actually true many sub Saharan Africans have faster twitch muscle fibers out performing other races with at least short-fast sprinting. There are many studies on the differences and there are stereotypes because they are true to a certain percentage. It’s fine, it’s cool. We’re all different. And groups tend to be more homogeneous genetically. Nothing wrong with that. The important thing is we all respect each other and just know from individual to individual we are VASTLY different than each other.

[@zekeolopwi6642]

@christopherkucia1071 A lot of those strengths and weaknesses are only prominent in very advanced athletics. In any medieval setting without modern nutrition and training those differences would be minimal. Skill and ability will be more based on an individuals lived background than their race in this time period. A good example is slavery in the American south. People wonder how they were able to maintain a decently large slave population with minimal man power on these plantations. Ofc part of it was being armed, but even beyond that, Europeans and European descended people tended to be larger and stronger than their African descended slaves because they had better and consistent diets by comparison. It wasn't until the modern era you started seeing Africans achieving their modern athletics results, as until they started to industrialize or live in industrial countries they weren't eating enough good nutrition to properly grow and develop.

I think Metatron hit this one on the head. Historically there could have been people form other parts in Kuttenburg, but the first games setting? not a chance. Kuttenburg at this time had a university and people from all over would travel to universities to study. So it's possible you might have a couple POC's from various regions in Kuttenburg. But it would be unrealistic to say more than like 2 in the entire city were from Africa. and that might be a stretch during this time period. after all we are talking about the heart of Europe, not the coast, but the heart. It's less likely you'd have any diversity or very very very few if any.

If the issue is that people want more diversity, I think that there should be greater attempt to portray the diversity that was actually there. Like, in KCD, there were Cumans, Czechs, and Germans, among others, but since I dont speak Czech, Hungarian or German, it was sometimes hard to tell apart the accents. The Cumans were noticeable, but I didnt even realize my first several playthroughs that Deutsche wasn't Czech. I think more moments of characters foriegn to Bohemia using their native tongue in a way that makes it clear that the Czech characters nearby can't understand them, I think that could potentially aid the reality that there was indeed diversity, just not as far reaching and widespread as people think diversity means.

Its not 1400s Italy, or Spain... even France. Its the very... VERY unwelcoming Czech part of the Holy Roman Empire. It the same time in history there was plenty of Moorish presence in Iberia and Italy... to a lesser extent France and Britain. I think a game with Black people would be great! But it just doesnt fit the bill here. Its honesty very out of place. I never once felt like it needed black people. Im playing as henry...not me. Also remember Henrys exceptional treatment of the German minority family in the game... yeah im sure they'd really like Moorish Muslims.... Also people neeed to think realistically... if you were a Europeanized moor...would you want to live in bohemia!? Or would you want to live in a place with establishments and tolerance for you? Mainly Italy... parts of Spain, Kinda France... Britain at times. But really it was Italy and Spain at this time in history that had standing African communities. In Italy they built an Ethiopian church in the early 1400s in response to An Ethiopian embassy being built. So theres a time and a place for everything... 1400s Bohemia not the best place for Moors... but hey who knows, maybe there were a few.

This whole concept of racism and nationality is modern and didn´t work that way back then. Instead of the race, people would probably have been treated different because of their religion (For example the treatment of jews in the middle ages, crusades etc). People didn´t belong to a nation but to their ruler- which often came from a different culture (for example british and spanish royals etc). KCD is set around 1402 (I think)- so the rulers were "german" kings/emperors but came from Luxemburg.

I hate diversity in games and in real life. Idk if this bugs me more or that bizkit actually has sexy going with it..

[@shortshins]

Forced diversity is definitely not needed in this game , nor anywhere .

The biggest controversy for me was the many Crashes in the Game because it’s saving options you lose so much Progress.

If they add diversity at the cost of historical accuracy they will definitely lose money compared to not doing it

Why do we have to care about representation ?? A story should be a story and whoever writes it should be able to make his own choice in what is included. All of us have the choice of not reading/ watching it if we don't agree with it. And if it is historically accurate then it should not be changed just because some people don't like it. It's like showing Hitler farting flowers instead of what he really did, how would you teach history? Everyone should have the freedom to be who they want to be, it doesn't mean it should be imposed on everyone else.
