That their mostly White male audience don't want to play as African midgets with pink hair or something like that. (pic8.co)

Yeah, the only properly good-aligned character out of the five main chars is a black guy.

yep, like in every advert now the good/rich/adventurous guy is a nog and the stupid/bad/slothful guy is White

The annoying thing is that nogs don't even play these types of games. The whole magical/fantasy kingdoms theme is based on Ancient North European mythology - nogs have zero culture and wouldn't culturally identify with any of that, they could play as giant squirrels and it would mean about as much to them.

Pretty much. He's a renown hero but his character flaw is that was only because of a vengeful pact with a succubus.
Where as the White guy companion is a morally ambiguous wizard that turned himself into a nuke by accident, and there's also a flamboyant vampire.

There is a pretty obvious insert of the Refugee Crisis in the story too, it occupies the main plot of the first act, but it's so bias and doesn't tackle any real world issues people have with the migrant invasions.

It's like they are just looking for whatever White males like doing/watching, and insert themselves into it.

The number of nogs in adverts going camping/hiking is inversely proportional to the number who actually do that

It's insane. They've really kicked it up a notch with ads since all the BLM shit.
