They will try to do it. A black doctor from Mali during the time where "doctors and engineers" are flooding Europe was always going to go bad with the audience but I understand he is not made up to be some common occurrence but an unique event. He will probably not be eating people or talk about the Mali slave trade.
They've also mentioned that Henry taking it up the arse will be done with consideration of the times. What that means, I have no idea.
The problem is not "Europe". It's central, "far away from any sea route" Europe, Bohemia.
Here's the question: How many doctors/engineers are in the game? Lets say 100? Was the number of black engineers/doctors above 1% back then? No? Then it's pandering, cause historically (due to how stats work) there would be 0 representation of them in the game.
Regarding Henry: He was established as straight. Pure pandering, I wouldn't mind if there were two other guys fucking in the game (cause the percentage of that was most likely way higher than the amount of blacks in Bohemia).
It's 100% pandering. There is no way a black Mali doctor at court would not have been part of a historical record.
If tackling closet faggotry was a thing they wanted to do, they could have easily made a quest where you discover two nobles were up to that shit and then give you the choice to expose them, cover for them, or blackmail them. That at least would have been interesting for players.
Homosexuality was part of the first game. The main antagonist is a fag and one of the novices in the monastery is.
hey, don't be cynical. we know of at least one refugee thats definitely a doctor. an ophthalmologist, to be specific. somehow, that one got swiped by the Russians.
