Like I said prior, at least Yasuke was documented to be in Japan and associated with Nobunaga. This is entirely ahistorical, combined with him boasting about how much greater his nation is makes it extremely pozzed moreso than e.g., AC Shadows.
I agree that this is about as bad an example as it gets. Still, I'm way more likely to play a white dude on ****** watch, then an actual ******.
I'm still going to play it, but I sure as hell ain't paying for it and I hope none of you are either :mad:

I'll buy it off a key reseller when it's $5 so my money goes towards supporting CCP ****** and Varva doesn't get a single penny.

Webm looks AI gen. As Oyster pointed out, the pattern is different, and it's not just inconsistency in the quality of it.
When you look inside the pattern (particularly the big swirl on top of the shoulder since it's the biggest chunk and most easy to track with eyes), you can see it morph with each frame, literally going through mitosis of some kind, which is a thing you can see very often (if not always) with AI gens -- it struggles with the idea of keeping pattern intact during any sort of movement. It struggles with patterns even on static images to be honest.

I wouldn't disregard actual screenshots as fake (cause those are real ofc), but webm is suspicious.
Some of the goofier ones hold the pattern quite well, even when it's temporarily obscured. They usually nail the canvas fluttering too.

I'm a big fan of the detective work, but I can't help but think that this is a one-off, unimportant character placed somewhere and there's not much else to it. Kind of like the softer propaganda from the 90s and not the heavy-handed poz we're used to. Perhaps one of the devs simply enjoyed Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman.

Probably, yeah. I expected it to be inclooosive from the beginning, honestly, but after reading through this thread I kind of got some (false) hope that it wasn't. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Current response to that is that Vávra is a fool who was wrong and he finally got "corrected" and "educated" this time around with the second game. The thing is, I was watching the development of KCD1 closely and he actually did consult quite a lot of little details details with historians, almost to an autistic level.

TBH I'm gonna play the game still. The first thing I'm doing is beelining to that camp or whatever and trying to attack that NPC. If he just jerks around a bit and screams "Henry Stop that!" and is immortal. I'm gonna delete the game and stop seeding the torrent. :mad:

Here's a quick tip if you are trying to find that ****** as soon as possible from the game's intro. Best of luck with your endeavour!

If any reviewers lurking here want to check out the negro, it is in Sigismunds camp at Kuttensbergs map(if you don’t have the perk that removes fog of war, the camp is in the middle of the map just a north east from starting place), to get inside the camp just pay the guard 500 groschen to let you in and you will find it just straight line from the first entrance (coming from south-west).

If you take that and his other comments over the years into consideration, it doesn't make much sense for him to be fine with including a single spook. He did sell the company, however, and I guess most publishers are still dying to tick off the woke checkboxes.

St. George's. Found in some random box in a garden.

There's also a long quest that involves you travelling across the entire map and finding several pieces of a mythical sword and then it just sucks.
