"Also, while I did not by any means see every city, burg and outpost in The Witcher 3's world in my 70+ hours spent within it, I don't recall a single non-white humanoid anywhere — not in Skellige, Novograd, Oxenfurt or anywhere else. Once I realized this I couldn't stop looking for any example of a person of color anywhere, and I never found it, unless you count naked monster women sitting at the feet of a boss like a slightly more awkward tribute to a Frank Frazetta painting. But maybe they're in there, somewhere.

Are you familiar with the term white-washing? It’s a vicious cycle. In the middle ages, most record keeping didn’t consider the lives of women or non-europeans when writing the history, because these were more barbarous times and people were sexist and racist by today’s standards. Today we thankfully live in a more enlightened age, and know that there were many people of african descent, and even women in those times, who were strong people with stories to tell.
Dismissing these groups based upon the standards of the time ignores that The Witcher 3 is by definition a cultural product of today.

The fact that its a fantasy world is part of what makes it a problem.
If they were going for some historical piece… sure, I can understand some of the decisions. But its a fantasy world. If your "fantasy" is that black people don’t exist and women are little more than sex objects then yikes.
