Can't say I really care much for pure history in video games, especially RPGs. All it basically means is your only going to be fighting the same (human) enemies over and over again. History is boring.
Australian "History" is boring.

I will agree that it is odd that the guy isn't confirming or denying it though - especially with how definite his former stance on such characters happened to be in the previous game.
If he's sold the company, like it was alleged in the KCD2 thread itself, and does not have a say in the production, I'd assume his contract could also involve a clause forbidding actively harming the company, too.
Warhorse was already sold during the development of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, with the main backer of the game acquiring majority control of the company in exchange for the funds needed to complete KCD. That person apparently had no intention of having long-term ownership of Warhorse and so took advantage of the commercial success of KCD to sell the company to Embracer (THQ Nordic) in February 2019. Regardless of his position over the sale, Vavra had no means of preventing it, just as he would have no means of preventing interference in the development of the sequel by the Swedish parent company.

What do you think of the parent group Embracer. I can't find anything too out there on the website. Some goofy save the planet stuff and do jumping jacks for Ukraine but thats about it.
