This shows a serious historical illiteracy for a game which claims to be 'authentically medieval'. Medieval foods in Europe were HEAVILY spiced (not necessarily 'spicy' in the modern meaning). In fact if you follow medieval recipes today they tend to be quite offputting to a modern European palette because they overladen the dishes with sweet, savoury, and spicy combinations that we're not used to. Venison or pork stuffed with raisins, cloves, garlic & mace, glazed with honey as an example.
If you want to read more about what our ancestors ate, read The Forme of Cury for some good English Medieval recipes (which were probably popular across Western Europe at that time).
Those are normal spices/combinations for today's holiday meals? The only thing missing is juniper berries (and you use nutmeg instead of mace)
the absolute default for anything gamey is juniper berries, cloves, nutmeg.
Well perhaps I've given a bad example there, but there's definitely some unusual flavour combinations going on at a medieval banquet, to a modern tongue at least.
