Listening to Dr Janega’s podcast how a guy from China who was actually a Nestorian Christian, traveled to Europe and got to meet the Pope, Eastern Roman Emperor, Holy Roman Emperor, King of France before heading home.

Or how Ibn Battuta travelled from Morroco all the way to China via the Maldives. Or famously Mansa Musa travelled from Mali to Mecca causing a financial crisis from giving away too much gold.

Vikings travelled all the way to Constantinople to fight in the Varangian guard. Like people travelled. Non white people would be uncommon but they’d be there especially in bigger cities.

I love how racists think that before the 19th century people stayed in ONE place on earth at all times and NEVER moved. The only time humans moved was when the continents were connected by land bridges and then after that they got racist in the 1400s and told Africans no admittance.

travel took an incredibly long time and was super uncomfortable and dangerous, but we have evidence of like neolithic pottery being traded vast distances.

There are flint tools on Crete that suggest that Neanderthals were sailing on the Mediterranean Sea 130,000 years ago! Which is pretty bonkers.

Yeah, some people have that exploration demon in them, and wanna see the world. People were still people then, just like today.

If coconuts can emigrate to Hawai'i on their own, then people can cross the gibraltar strait

[–] huf@hexbear.net 17 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

people have always moved around for various reasons. and then they fucked.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 17 points 16 hours ago

Nah that's historically inacurrate, I should know I've played the withcer

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

How'd they do that?

Chuds are mad because in the last game the dev said black people never existed in europe until modern times.

And it's great because he tried to appease those smarmy little fucks and now they're baying for his blood

Gamergate: Not Even Once

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Wait but if he tried to appease them there'd be no black characters in this one, right? Not sure I understand. Or is he no longer working at the studio

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

He actively cultivated the GamerGate following for the first game and now it's biting him on the ass when he barely did anything different for this one

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 5 points 12 hours ago

Ohh right. Lmao

[–] BRINGit34@lemmygrad.ml 29 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 21 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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.

They should make games where every single npc has Henry cavils face. Then they can shut the everloving fuck up

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 14 points 18 hours ago

Go woke get stoked?

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 12 points 17 hours ago

gamers are going to think that the newest medieval simulator is unrealistic. everyone hates you if you smell like shit.

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 12 points 18 hours ago

Still need to play the original but the games do look really fun. Also I love the visuals of the cryengine wish it was used more

Got a 3 day weekend starting tomorrow, can’t wait to get into this. Hope it doesn’t have the release bugs the last one did

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

From what I have heard the 2nd one is quite polished. Hope you have a good time doggirl-thumbsup
