I don't think it would be wise to have various cultural styles for example medieval style of clothing mixed up with baroque (vailan republic). I don't know but for me its unprofessional like "we just put there everything what was in the history". I would choose medieval style of clothing and the cultural differences would be similar to each other, not totally different.
Er, when the Conquistadors arrived in South America (in fast, hi-tech galleons) with plate armour, groovy hats and velvet codpieces (not to mention cannons), the locals were wearing feathers and had failed to develop even basic metallurgy.
Well, I think there is a great deal of difference between a "first encounter" and cultures being in close contact for quite a long period of time, which seems to be our case as far as I understand it. So, yes - I also find this mix of styles of clothing somewhat inconsistent, as in my opinion such differences have to be subtle in a relatively small region with highly developed cultural contacts. E.g., the Turks, while still differing from the Western Europeans, also had plate armour, stylish hats, fast galleons and large cannons. However, if Obsidian feel something will enhance our gaming experience... I'm all in for it )
