You can have some degree of historical awareness just by how similar things seem to be, same military, same law enforcement, same legal system, same political system, same economical system, same social system, same technology... the butterfly effect is a thing, and the introduction of a new sentient race should have caused a massive divergence in... everything. Every unique aspects of their civilization should have been impacting drastically the world.It's the first release, we haven't had any history of the world yet, give it time.
Like I said with Shadowrun its more understandable that the divergence isn't all encompassing because their was a sudden change that began altering the world one day out of nowhere, but here if its the case of a world where two races + existed it should have had a series of drastic consequences. Their are 4 scenarios possible: 1) Humans wiped out the elves, which mean Elven blooded people would have likely been considered the inferiors to the Humans, like black people were in real life, which isn't the case here, 2) Elves dominate humans, like the Show on Netflix 'Bright', where the Elves are basically at the top with any other races beneath them as subservient, which mean however unlike 'Bright' that Elven Culture should have been the dominant culture, not Human, which was one issue with 'Bright' that didn't make sense, 3) the two races effectively merged together overtime creating a race of effectively Half-Elf, which is seemingly the case here, but the problem is the two races should have also melded culturally, while here it seem to be near absolutely Human Culture. Any races that would be longer lived would have put more emphasis on their culture, so if the two had melded together Elven Culture should have came out fairly strong, 4) the last possible scenario, the two races are divided each living in their own little corner of the world separated, if that was the case all those obviously Elven blooded character should have a culture that is very different from the American Culture they obviously have in this game. So considering those 4 options this game is following... none, which doesn't work.
