Didn’t really see anything DEI about it myself. That setting is pretty grim. And it’s not really a European-centric setting like the trailer made it seem, much closer to a traditional DnD world than something like the Witcher.
It's clearly a medieval European-esque setting, from the architecture to the clothing, even the wickerman thing is explicitly European, stop pretending that this is somehow something you'd see everywhere because Eastern/African/American style of buildings/clothes etc. would look different and we'd notice that immediately.
It's completely out of place to have nogs/chinks/whites in one nation divided equally in numbers like that in any part of history except in modern society where it's been artificially pushed by migration(With all the issues that that brings), also you'd think that logically if many people of different backgrounds where to come together, there'd be more ethnic overlap and mixed bags walking about, and if they've been living like that for a long time without being divided and apartheid style separated, or with any explicit discrimination, then they'd be completely intermingled and there would be a ambiguously brown population, because it would naturally homogenize.
But no thought is put into that because the sole reason for having diversity in western settings(Which Divinity seems to be, if not completely, at least heavily inspired by), is completely political, there's no logical or in world reason that locals are made up of such a diverse cast, you're just supposed to accept that such a thing is normal, and to say that's not DEI is utterly asinine.
Because there's only one group so driven to do this, and that's the political left.
Yeah idk where people get that. It's like they see....houses and farms = Europe therefore must be 99% white humans despite being its own fantasy setting.
Nah, we're just being "conditioned" into liking nigger goyslop or something.
The fact that you look at that and think "Yeah, this is just generic fantasy applicable to any place", is to me evidence that you are in fact conditioned, to the point where you can't even recognize it.
If you look at any Asian historical or Fantasy setting, like Wuxia or samurai setting, you wouldn't find half the population in those games being blond, blue eyed vikings walking around in yukatas or kimonos like they're native to the place, because everyone knows they're not, and would cry out and call it white washing or out of place at the very least, and i bet the likes of you would do the same(although i'm sure you'll deny that now in response), everyone would understand that this is without a doubt, something the creators put in because of their IRL ideological views.
And hey, if you don't care about that, that's fine, but to deny that this is politically motivated or to try and gaslight others that they're being oversensitive and "Just as bad as woke left" if they notice and express a dislike of it, then i've got no choice but to assume you're either that far gone or just disingenuous.
EDIT: And this is all btw, within the context that Larian Studios is making this, and looking at their work in BG3, it's not a stretch certain political elements play a part in what we're shown.
But if this is all going to far, and i'm just going schizo here, can we then compromise and say that this particular aesthetic choice that modern fantasy games go for is from a "modern western" sense of aesthetics, both in what is shown, and the way it is shown, and that it's a particular style i don't like, and thats fine too?
I'm really hoping gaming with heal and this new Divinity title will deliver
