    Not nearly as much.

    From what I’ve seen, settings are either fantasy/fiction, or they handle the local mix of ethnicities pretty well.

    As I brought up in the last thread, KCD2 is a great example, shining on the “cultural mix” part yet having quite unblemished women for some reason. To be fair, many men are conspicuously attractive too.

      you can’t put everything you want into a setting just because it’s fantasy/fictional. you wouldn’t want a BMW in your medieval setting just because it’s fantasy, it’s the same with an overrepresentation of PoC.

      or they handle the local mix of ethnicities pretty well.

      that’s almost never the case. I don’t know about KCD2, but Witcher 3 did a good job. in the wheel of time (the show) for example, every “culture” looks the same and the worldbuilding is not believable, and that’s the case for most modern media
