Forespoken is actually less offensive to ancient culture because it's not really a problem to create a protagonist of any given race so long as it's not hamfisted (though to be fair, Forespoken was hamfisted) or historically broken.
For example, we can't have a bunch of black samurai just because there was ONE black samurai. He was an interesting figure, but the presence of a foreigner in a foreign land doesn't mean there were a bunch of them either.
When Kingdom Come Deliverance came out there was a lot of squawking because it was a historically themed medieval RPG set in Bohemia and it didn't have the racial demographics of a modern metropolis. There were the usual attempts at historic revisionism, citing reports of a single black person living in the capitol Prauge like a hundred years after the game takes place (the game doesn't even take place anywhere near Prague).
It's Forspoken all over again. Listen Frey, you can absolutely take the bag of cash before worrying about your darn cat.
