Those heels as you called them, are actually modelled after 17th century French Cavalry boots and were worn by men at that time.
Well the French could get away with wearing heels since you don't need to run to surrender

That said as someone who has done post-graduate work in European history I've got a big problem with the history argument.

You are right that certain circles in medieval times were aware of people of somewhat darker skin colour, but I fail to see how that makes it logically that all these people of different races would have lived together in relatice peace in one and the same country, state, city, etc.?,,,
That said as someone who has done post-graduate work in European history I've got a big problem with the history argument. I hate hearing this argument being made for defending the games. It's weak. It's grounded in only the most shallow and superficial understanding of European history or the culture and society of Medieval Europe.
Medieval Europe was not as closed off from the wider world as some would like to believe. The African Moors ruled most of Spain until late in the middle ages. In the Slavic world they would have certainly been familiar with Tatars, Mongols, and they were certainly using the river system in Russia to navigate to the Mediterranean and trade with the Arabs or the Persians. This idea that people with dark faces would have been unknown to white Europeans of the middle ages is preposterous. Certainly the larger towns and ports would be more cosmopolitan and the educated classes and the elites would have been aware. It's a weak argument so stop making it.
...
Lastly, despite the medieval flourishes and touches this world is entirely fantasy so the idea of black people or asiatics walking through it is not as preposterous when set against having to fight griffins and harpies, is it?

Actually, her whole outfit, including the broad belt/corset and loose fitting blouse, are modeled after 17/18th century fencing gear... sure, it's stylized to look more feminine (not many female fencers around back then, and even if, they still wore dresses ). but it has a clear origin in real world fashion, like most outfits/armors in the game... yes, even the revealing dresses worn by sorceresses.
I get the joke, but to do them historical justice, they had a pretty badass cavalry back then.
Hey now "The moral is to the physical as three to one!"Until someone decided to march a 500,000 man army into Russia.

What could go wrong?
T.....
So does anyone have a good guess at any legitimate reasons. Because otherwise, I'm just going to chalk all the media controversies to the usual garbage pile of obvious attention grabbing shenanigans.

It was a thing in the 17th century.
never believed in media. But like it or not... eventually developers will conform to the norms.
What norms are those? The ones self absorbed narcissists believe the rest of society should adhere to?
