   Bored while running some import script, so I went through some stuff about that Kingdom Come game and like, yeah, it would be hardly surprising to find out that game is going to be a shit full of implied racism and sexism, made by bunch of bros with their one true idea about how the middle-ages worked. It may turn out ok, but I don't really expect it to.

      But pony, what do YOU know about the middle-ages. That's a fair question and the answer is... not that much, really. So feel free to discard whatever I say on the topic. It's just all I hear there sounds like, wait, this is either clear bullshit or could be very well disputed by any competent historian.

      Whatever.

         Also, please note that successful fantasy stories just mostly gave up on historic realism and went with basically modern fiction with swords (game of thrones, witcher). Which perfectly delivers a cool setting that players easily understand and don't need much of a background to enjoy.
