I just found out that AtomRPG devs used mugshots for some of the ingame FMC portraits. Apparently one of them was even briefly famous ten years ago.

What about portraits in Swordhaven? Are they cool or generic?

One of them is definitely a painted over Riker from TNG. I'm guessing most of them probably went under my radar due to cultural differences or obscurity.

As long as they don't self-cuck it will be great
well they stopped posting news on their VK page back in 2022, changed Russian flag on their site to the cucked white-blue-white one, and already stated that this game will only have one language (English), and others will be added depending on how many times it was wishlisted.
Gamedevs not trying to be treasonous fifth-columnists for five minutes getting entangled into political squabbles they understand nothing about instead of just making games challenge rating:

They're ukrainians you dip

If anything, they've been far more silent on the invasion issue than devs that aren't even remotely from ukraine/eastern yurop

Is this supposed to be a counterpoint to what I just said?

Can confirm.
All they did was posting antiwar (not anti Russian mind you) statement and that's it. Flags on website were fixed very quickly (probably was done by some aggrieved person, like many other software by devs with hohols on team).
Even absence of Russian language in Swordhaven is based on steam wishlists by regions. It's just another case of crowd mentality and unlucky witch hunting in my opinion.

Thanks for the clarification not-rusty, I will now take a closer look at this game.
