I think my favorite part of the outrage is I don't even know what they are mad about. I haven't met a character yet that wasn't super pasty and christian.

And then all of the characters in power are sort of scumbags. The other day I ran into a noble or something and he was just yelling at his I assume to be wife.

I'd say it's fairly accurate to feudal life

The games really do pay a lot of attention to accuracy - although it's worth noting that some aspects of their portrayal are disputed by some historians. For example the Christianity thing - not that Christianity wasn't a big part of medieval European life, but most peasants in most of Europe only went to church like once or twice a year for the big holidays, so the portrayal in KCD may not be as accurate as it seems at first glance.

Anyway black people and gay people definitely existed in medieval times so in that respect KCD2 is more accurate than the first one.
