A single unaffiliated screenshot of a generic character saying a couple lines so fucking specifically meant to outrage us through exact phrases and buzzwords that don't really flow well or feel written for in-game conversation is far too good to be true.
This feels like believing random AITA posts on reddit that get crossposted to gender war subs. Its always too good to be true.
If it turns out to be real, I won't be shocked, but you need more proof than that to start a cancel mob, nigga.
Dialogue-wise it is suspiciously on-the-nose, but I’m not sure that the character itself is faked. That’s my concern. I’m just pointing IF this character or another character appears that wouldn’t make sense for the time period, then I won’t buy the game.
I don't know KCD well enough to say one way or another personally, but if the post title said "screenshot from new Asscreed" I'd not be able to say it isn't. Because its a generic "modern graphics" NPC without anything tying it to any game.
Not even a character name, which sticks out even more because almost no game forgoes accessibility options of not having "who is speaking" attached to subtitles.
My point isn't that its impossible to believe, its that the proof presented is insufficient to do so.
To use your example, it had Trunks and Vegeta, two characters we know are in the game, having a direct interaction that makes sense*, meaning it feels like a game script instead of a collection of buzzwords, within the noticeable graphic style of the game they are in, linking it to that specific game.
This has a random black guy with no name, in a generic style with no details, saying a clumsy line that hardly feels like it would pass Voice Acting that we are just being told is from the game.
It could be what it says it is completely, but its not strong enough on its own to just believe it.
*Also while I get why people hate it, that line is 120% fitting with Kid Trunks both in how he talks and his insufferable personality. If he was written now instead of in the 80s he would say shit like "no cap fr fr" and it feels out of place because he hasn't aged in 40 years of the IP existing.
What's to not believe? That Warhorse studios got hit with a diversity quota?
At first i thought they'd just stick to European diversity but after the leak it seems like they HAD to cram a nigger where he doesn't belong
There are also quite suspicious quests at the early game, one involves diving in shit to rescue a dude
And the other involves cuckolding and the need to protect a polish fellow from an angry lynch mob because he slept with one of the farmers wife
Though thankfully the game lets you have options to fail both quests and proceed regardless as you wish, its direction is definitely taken to a lot more woke caliber
Again it could be just a few quests and the rest of the game is unpozzed, but its best to wait and see
Regardless its probably the least anti-White game on the market
Anything that confirms to my bias without sufficient proof, especially in an attempt to motivate me to action.
This isn't saying "this is impossible to be true" it is saying that I need more that says it is actually from the game you are telling me it is for me to believe what you are saying.
Holding everything to higher standards instead of just swallowing everything the way it is sold to me.
I thought KCD looked like a boring game back in the day that only got any praise because it "clapped back against the SJWs" and rode that easy train to popularity.
So I can't be disappointed in a game I had no interest in and already thought was a grifter.
It was anything but boring, but it is sure as hell was unfinished (hell there wasn't even blacksmithing features and crossbows were missing)
It was almost like a hige beta, the things they got right was the immersion and the graphics, soundtrack and quest design (its like Gothic basically, quests can be completed before they are even started)
It was a solid game with ZERO niggers, which is why i held it to high regard despite the missing features
As for Vavra, i had massive respect for the lad until he sold out the very company he co-founded for a bag of shekels (he's a jew so obviously shekels were dearer to him than actually staying true to his vision)
Pics from 4chan came out a few days ago where a man from Mali introduces himself as a medical physician and an explorer. Problem is that there is no reason why a Sub-Saharan man from Mali would travel all the way to land-locked Kutna Hora.
The dialogue is way too cringe to be real (I would hope), but the fact that not even terminally online Daniel Vavra has commented on this makes me think that this is more legitimate than not, particularly when people are bombarding his Twitter with this.
I’m remaining cautious of purchasing this game until I get confirmation that this game doesn’t include sub-saharan people.
If it does include them, then Daniel Vavra loses any right to call himself “based” and I will never buy this game or any other game Warhorse Studios makes.
I read it, which is why I asked. Because later on, he says: "I’m remaining cautious of purchasing this game until I get confirmation that this game doesn’t include sub-saharan people."
That might very well be Mansa Musa, the guy who spent so much gold while travelling he literally destroyed local economies with inflation one after another.
IIRC it's one of the reasons military rank structures use silver as a higher rank than gold.
For a brief moment, due to what amounts to gold inflation (from Musa's charity), and Silver deflation (from the Ottoman's embargo), silver was more expensive than gold in Europe.
I don't shy away from "hard" games but the combat didn't work for me, either. I liked the realistic damage that you could take but it was too difficult to swing a sword.
One screenshot does not make a case, but it does warn of one. If I cared about Warhorse or Vavra, I'd look into the consultancy groups and the government grants his company contracts with, but I don't, so I won't. When whatever this is comes out, someone will post the credits roll to Youtube, so we can look it over for usual suspects.
In fairness, if the Islamic rulers of a country allow you to travel in peace, you will probably be fine, because the population would be too scared of being executed for messing with you.
However, they would laugh hysterically about the idea of respecting women.
if we're talking about the golden age of islam, there is an argument to be made that women were treated better and given more autonomy than western counterparts. But given that KCD2 takes place in 1400s the ass end of their golden age, rights of women didn't just stagnated, it somehow managed to decline over the next 600 years.
so what the character said is actually really funny, not sure if ironic, but more "if you paid attention in history class and live in reality you will find what I just said to be delightfully droll."
Good point, I forgot about that incident.

Yea it seems too on the nose to be true
The "also btw we respect wahmen" is what really gives the ruse away.
Dialogue-wise it is suspiciously on-the-nose, but I’m not sure that the character itself is faked. That’s my concern. I’m just pointing IF this character or another character appears that wouldn’t make sense for the time period, then I won’t buy the game.
Honestly it doesn't seem to even sync up with the style of Kingdom Come art design.

If this was 10 years ago i's say "yeah its probably BS" but in 2025 i firmly believe its legit
To give an example, 2 months before the release of dragon ball sparking zero young trunks had an ebonics like when matched with Z (end) Vegeta
Something along the lines of "if you can punch in the face i'll take you to that amusement park you were always raving on about"
And Trunks english dialogue was "No cap? Lets go" in the most niggerish VO they could find
At first i couldn't believe it, i thought it was a shitpost
But then the game released and that line of dialogue is Really there!
My point isn't that its impossible to believe, its that the proof presented is insufficient to do so.

Yup, those quests were obviously thought by a very (((degenerated))) mind
Thankfully you can always refuse/fail them because KCD quest design is open-ended
Anything that confirms to my bias without sufficient proof, especially in an attempt to motivate me to action.
This isn't saying "this is impossible to be true" it is saying that I need more that says it is actually from the game you are telling me it is for me to believe what you are saying.

You are free to ask the devs yourself
Though you should brace for disappointment

If you're getting outraged about commercial products. Whew.
Who cares anyways.. shit is funny..

Ok. Is there any proof at all that this screenshot is real or are you pulling a Kotaku right now?... that he may not have even seen it. Have you personally tried getting his attention?A week later: I rescind my skepticism.
When the screenshot first arrived on 4chan it was also posted to Steam and the Steam thread called it out as only linking back to the same 4chan post.
So while that doesn't confirm its not real it certainly pushes the dial hard towards a gayop.
This is why .jpg posters should be thoroughly chastised.
I have since edited my skepticism.
Is your problem that they are sub-Saharan or that it is unrealistic for them to be in Bohemia?
Yes
Read the second sentence of the post you're replying too and you might just find the answer to your question.
I read it, which is why I asked. Because later on, he says: "I’m remaining cautious of purchasing this game until I get confirmation that this game doesn’t include sub-saharan people."
The reason for that is stated in the second sentence. It is the same as the answer to your question. Don't play dumb, Antonio. Context is a thing.
Can you think of any reason the presence of the sahara desert might prove an impediment to travel in medieval times?
That might very well be Mansa Musa, the guy who spent so much gold while travelling he literally destroyed local economies with inflation one after another.
https://communities.win/c/Gaming/p/19A1Gtygyv/how-the-mighty-have-fallen-/c
And very experienced in the slave trade
I demand REPARATIONS from Mali!!!!!!
Exactly. It’s a fair point to bring up to those wanting reparations. Why not go after African countries that participated
And Arab ones which also participated. Lots of links in those chains before getting to anyone who is/was white.
True
There's no honor in grifting. If the African countries had money to give, they'd try to grift from them as well.
Mansa’s pilgrimage didn’t take him through Kutna Hora, and he died in 1337, about 66 years prior to when the game takes place.
IIRC it's one of the reasons military rank structures use silver as a higher rank than gold.
For a brief moment, due to what amounts to gold inflation (from Musa's charity), and Silver deflation (from the Ottoman's embargo), silver was more expensive than gold in Europe.
I dont plan on buying this since i didnt like the combat of the first game bexause it was clunky for me.
What if next line the main char says "you lie, your kind sold slaves and mass raped entire regions".
I don't shy away from "hard" games but the combat didn't work for me, either. I liked the realistic damage that you could take but it was too difficult to swing a sword.
Yeah it's just weird and takes time to learn, but it's not hard at all. I don't like hard games but freaking loved Kingdom Come.
Do you have the entire conversation? Because the next line could be him being called out on his taqiyya.
One screenshot does not make a case, but it does warn of one. If I cared about Warhorse or Vavra, I'd look into the consultancy groups and the government grants his company contracts with, but I don't, so I won't. When whatever this is comes out, someone will post the credits roll to Youtube, so we can look it over for usual suspects.
Is Vavra actually still involved or in charge?
He is still the director of the game and co-founder of the studio
Probably fake
Well...is it?
LOL
In fairness, if the Islamic rulers of a country allow you to travel in peace, you will probably be fine, because the population would be too scared of being executed for messing with you.

Imagine being retarded enough to believe this for even 1 second.
