I don't see why ES couldn't just start the entire game with a huge disclaimer saying "This is not what actually happened. We are only inspired by history." In that way they could make up as much nonsense as they wanted without anyone being rightfully offended.

I thought they said that they hadn't decided on that issue yet. I'm not sure if I can find the exact quotation...

That picture has been linked to at least a hundred times now. I think everyone has seen it and concluded that there is indeed a black guy to the right. However, this is only concept art so he might as well be a hero of some sort.

Considering the lagre numbers of people of African descent, who seem to be really in favor of this innovation, It does seem sensible to include it but ES knows what theyre doing....

^What about the reaction if blacks are omitted entirely? There's a middle ground here that should be fairly easy to obtain, have Africans in the game without having slavery be their central role.

I think it's a good idea if you include them in militia units and so on. Not in dragoons and other units that obviously comes from Great Britain or Germany. Not from America itself.
