I was playing this game and I noticed that there are names natively using in middle or/and east Europe e.g. Ludmila (Ľudmila), Marek, Katarina (Katar?na), Vaclav (V?clav),...

I'm from Slovakia and this are Slovak (or maybe Czech) names.

 

Obsidian is American developer. How did you came to this names and why did you used them? It's nothing personal. I'm just curious

I think they're more generally Slavic names, I know a couple of variations for a couple of countries, all from ex-Yugoslavia and someone was recognising Russian names.

 

There's a pretty present eastern-Europe theme in the game, specially the Lescanzi have a heavy Romani people vibe about them and the royalists are reminding me of he Russian Empire.

 

I think it's kinda refreshing, you don't often see such viewpoints of these cultures in games.

Hasn't Georges Ziets (Creative Director on the game) shown a strong interest in Eastern Europe and its culture with Mask of the Betrayer already?
