    I think it would have been cool to have been born in medieval times.

    Sure bert if you call plague and other diseases, religious domination (if you aint christian and the same type of christian as the monarch you're a heretic and burn kind of domination) and the unfair taxes of the nobles the 14 or 15 hour summer work days (dawn til dusk) the you could be dragged off to war and not be given a sword or bow but be expected to beat your fellow man to death or find a weapon on the battlefield or perhaps a kitchen knife or sharpened garden implement fun then it was a barrell of laughs. Same goes for feudal japan Lance, so much stuff you don't normally hear about but by god if you did you'd change your mind. Romanticising the past is one of the worst things humanity does, and believe me I'd know I write for a medieval/fantasy based game and am highly guilty of romanticising the past myself.

    I believe however I was born to late or too early I'm undecided which but yeah sometimes I look at this world and think "sure this is real?"
