The original protagonist Racimir is fixed male; the later Oxbow map and co-op added a binary male/female character creator with appearance options (hair, face, complexion) but no pronouns, body-type sliders, or non-binary features. Romance and heir mechanics require opposite-sex NPC partners exclusively, with same-sex options absent to preserve the dynasty premise—player discussions confirm no in-game support for same-sex marriage or housing that produces children.

Optional dark-skinned character creation exists but applies only to the player avatar, not NPCs, and draws minor player note for historical mismatch without altering story or themes. No developer statements reference DEI, sensitivity readers, or activist intent; the Polish studio emphasizes historical-inspired peasant life and mechanics over messaging. Minor expansions like female playability serve gameplay variety rather than ideological framing, keeping progressive elements incidental and non-central.
