Character creation and origins feature fantasy races with backstories rooted in in-universe lore such as exile for the Red Prince, slavery to lizard masters for Sebille, demonic possession for Lohse, and rebellion against a dwarf queen for Beast. These elements react to player choices organically without modern activist framing or critiques of real-world systems.

The game's 2017 release and absence of developer DEI statements or consultancy involvement further distance it from later industry trends that inject identity politics into core narratives. The romance system permits any companion—Red Prince, Ifan, Sebille, Lohse, Fane, or Beast—regardless of player gender or race through playersexual mechanics, yet these relationships stay strictly optional side content that does not alter main quests or thematic focus. This approach keeps progressive elements minimal and non-central, preserving the title's emphasis on player-driven storytelling and tactical combat over ideological messaging. Audience reception has remained steady without notable critic-audience gaps tied to social issues, reflecting the game's success in delivering unforced fantasy escapism.
