Do medieval shows only hire conventionally unattractive men? I always thought the convention was to have attractive people play important parts or "good" characters, regardless of gender, but admittedly I don't really watch many medieval shows.

Witcher?

Game did a good job of having the ugliest polish man with a pitchfork in the town...

Then the local alchemist has a dump truck ass with eyeliner on.

If you're talking about my girl Keira Metz, she's a witch, not a standard alchemist. Woman definitely engages in performance enhancing magic

Had to look up. Got alchemist and herbalist confused.

It was tomira. I did remember the ass lol
