Geeze, they really don't have any problem painting Christians with the wide brush here, do they? Seems rather Christophobic to me.
Also, the "how ridiculous to lie that we eat Christian babies and poison wells!" is such a blatant example of downplaying via proximity. It almost makes me wonder if some of them DID eat Christian babies....
It sure is funny how not only diversity (Musa), homosexuality (gay romance) and promiscuity (cuckolding via letter if you choose to and only if you remain loyal to Theresa) is pushed but Jews being poor innocent victims is a major plot point.
In the first game there was a quest where you had to root out some Christian heretics, and if you were nice and let them go you get yelled at by the lord for going against the church and the quest just fails. (said lord in fact was played by Vavra himself).
Garlic is anathema to vampires, skinwalkers, and other evil skulking beasts. Its association with holiness has been long-established. Anyone who overtly tries to push that garlic just doesn't exist as a seasoning, when it has centuries of history behind it, I'd check to see if they are able to cross water, or be repulsed by crosses.
Ah, now I see why the game forces Henry to give a shit about the jews, because it's Sigismund's goons who were attacking. Meanwhile, I hear there's a Cuman character you run into, who was present at the massacre of your home village, and you can choose to forgive him (is it a choice, or does the game force that one you as well?)
It's funny, as woke as Owlcat, Paizo, and Games Workshop are, there's a lot of freeform player choice in Pathfinder and Rogue Trader. You can be as 'evil' as you want, whether you justify it with cold pragmatism or just revel in being a psychopath, and the game never tries to admonish you for it other than companion characters voicing a dissenting opinion (which you can respond with either ignoring, rebuking, banishing, or straight up executing them).
Oh well, yet another reason why I won't be bothering with this game, even if it's on sale at 90% off.

One of my favorite lines in any game in recent years is from Wrath of the Righteous when the "reformed" Succubus is wistfully talking about how tragic and common the scene you stumble upon is (a different succubus ruining a man) and the gnome just stops her cold to ask "how many times did you do it."
And when she cries while admitting to a whole lot and asks why he would ask such a horrible question, he just throws back "so you don't forget who you are and what you've done."
Which is unironically one of the most based interactions in history and how every man should react to these "reformed" new comrades. And its from the very pozzed Pathfinder game.
I'm nearly positive that the main reason for Wrath of the Righteous having some of the "diverse" characters in it did was because the original tabletop campaign had them. (Plus the creator of that tabletop campaign was a tranny).
Owlcats didn't seem to go very far beyond simply adapting some of the same bits, almost like they were doing it out of contractual necessity rather than any actual enthusiasm for the cringey token characters.
At the very very least, it seems plausible that the company's just not 100% completely infested like a lot of other studios. But they may still have some problems with rats.
Nah, I'd say it's worse. With Veilguard, the retardation is evident right away with the character creator. In KCD2, the game plays like the first one at the start, and you don't get hit with the woke shit until you're hours in, beyond the point where you can request a refund.
But jokes aside ignoring the woke bullshit KCD2 seems to be worse than KCD1 even from a gameplay perspective. All the jank from the first game is still there and some of it is even worse. Like the crime/thiefing system. The game looks more like a DLC than an actual sequel.
This is a serious worry of mine; The recent Indiana Jones game actually had what I thought to be an enjoyable start.
...right up until I saw a full review for the game and promptly tossed any notion of grabbing it into the pile.
The problem is, the intro mission is so radically different from the rest of the game(IMO), I can't help but think it was done on purpose as a bait and switch.
The kind where it makes you trust the devs long enough for them to stab you in the back
Suffice to say, there are some semi-feminist shit in the first half of the game, also the dialogue with Capon is pretty homoerotic despite him being a womanizer (in this game as well, always chasing wenches)
Some day people will finally realize that AoV's whole tactic in threads like these is to get as many people as possible to post themselves into a ban. I don't understand why you'd even want to convince him of anything. Dude likes having dicks in his ass, BuT hE's NoT gAy! It's all just a humiliation fetish and the more you criticize and insult him, the more he gets off on it.
Which it isn't because the game takes place in Kuttenberg where there was no Jewish quarter. So it's not faithful for the very same reason why Musa of Mali isn't faithful to the time period.

I guess you also have a problem that the game takes place in Kuttenberg and there wasn't a heroic character named Henry, nor people speaking English, etc.
Ah yes, the creation of a fictional character in order to facilitate an historical video game experience is also license to fabricate an entire ethnic enclave in order to push Jews as the primary oppressed victims in a setting where they didn’t even fucking exist.
You know you don’t have to let your semitophilia turn you into a literal retard. You can just stay quiet as opposed to insisting on your two cents in those situations where your idiotic worldview prevents you from being rational.
You mean, the part were jews are eating Christian babies? Or jews trying to infiltrate their enemy's camp and nations? Or jews being responsible for the death of Jesus? Yeah, I'd say that seems historically accurate as well.
This game has provided me with hours of entertainment so far and I haven’t even had to play it. I hope Vavra suck-starts a shotgun after this.
why is there no "join the antisemites" option?
Because that wouldn't be gay.
I just got my first mod idea.
number one is a "kill everyone" mod
No need. Henry can be gay in the vanilla gameplay /s
Because, historically, the “anti-semites” always called and considered themselves the “anti-semites” group.
Prithee kind sir, would you like to join the “anti-abortion” group?
Where’s the “join the heroic autobot workers party” option?
It’s so pedantic.
Decepticons were expelled from a 109 galaxies, but its never their fault!
Critical semite theory.
Have you not already?
I'm starting to believe that KCD2 isn't even worth pirating. Dunno why.

Yeah, yeah. They told me all about you antisemites, always picking on them innocent Jews "suddenly, and for no reason at all."
109 times, Tone
I used to think Blood Libel was a ridiculous myth but seeing how they act now I think it was understated.
Jewish abortion activists claim abortion is an integral aspect of their religion, now you understand why.
Only they get to be individuals and only when it's convenient.

Didn't /pol/ find out that missing children cases go up around Passover?
Why wypipo don't season dey Bohemias?
Holy fuck this game is a meme
this nigger (or jewish writer) never heard of garlic or mustard???

"A true role playing game lets the player choose."
"No, no that!"

Baldur’s Gate 3 lets you throw homos off of buildings, it’s unironically more based than KCD 2.
With or without mods?
Vanilla. What did Sven Vinke mean by this?
How do you even get to that point?

Regill was my favorite companion as a character, didn't care for him in combat though.

So could you draw the crossbow in the synagogue? Just wondering if they did the same as the last of us 2 where you could not harm sacred objects.
That I don't know but the mainquest turns into Save the Jews from Sigismund.
And here I thought one of the quests to create a golem was a little on the nose.
You create the first American?
My hand's not steady enough to cut the foreskin
🤣
Wow. Actual goyslop.
This shit is on the same tier as Veilguard for idpol retardation. It's so much worse than the leaks suggested.
Nah, I'd say it's worse. With Veilguard, the retardation is evident right away with the character creator. In KCD2, the game plays like the first one at the start, and you don't get hit with the woke shit until you're hours in, beyond the point where you can request a refund.
The tutorial alone is more than two hours, past the threshold for Steam refunds.
Probably just another coincidence. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I suppose so. Veilguard was fully out of the closet, whereas KCD2 is deceptive and the whole bait + switch thing is a betrayal.
The jewish propaganda doesn't even try to hide itself
It seems the devs dumped all the subversion into the second half of the game when you get to kuttonburg
Far enough into the game so you can't refund anymore. Convienient isn't it.
Its sneaky jewish
The kind where it makes you trust the devs long enough for them to stab you in the back
Suffice to say, there are some semi-feminist shit in the first half of the game, also the dialogue with Capon is pretty homoerotic despite him being a womanizer (in this game as well, always chasing wenches)

Objective: Collect 10 foreskin from the invaders
This is historically accurate.
Only people here are outraged at stopping a pogrom.
Oh yes, it is historically accurate just like Masu of Mali. Because Kuttenberg didn't have a Jewish quarter.
Dude, Antonio is a fucking troll that uses being in a different time zone as an excuse for not owning the stupid shit he says.
Do yourself a favor and hit the "block" button.
Don't worry, I know.
It's accurate for the time period.
No it isn't. Kuttenberg didn't have a Jewish quarter. This is not about whether or not Jews were persecuted at some point or another.
No? Why not? Not every story will have actually happened, it's fiction after all, but the question is whether it's faithful to the time period.
is a retarded argument and you know that.
Which it isn't because the game takes place in Kuttenberg where there was no Jewish quarter. So it's not faithful for the very same reason why Musa of Mali isn't faithful to the time period.
I guess you also have a problem that the game takes place in Kuttenberg and there wasn't a heroic character named Henry, nor people speaking English, etc.
Are you making the same stupid argument when it concerns Musa of Mali?
Ah yes, the creation of a fictional character in order to facilitate an historical video game experience is also license to fabricate an entire ethnic enclave in order to push Jews as the primary oppressed victims in a setting where they didn’t even fucking exist.
You know you don’t have to let your semitophilia turn you into a literal retard. You can just stay quiet as opposed to insisting on your two cents in those situations where your idiotic worldview prevents you from being rational.
So it was real in your mind?
Muh feelings
No, it's NOT accurate for the time period or the time zone. 🤣
You mean, the part were jews are eating Christian babies? Or jews trying to infiltrate their enemy's camp and nations? Or jews being responsible for the death of Jesus? Yeah, I'd say that seems historically accurate as well.
Was Judas told to betray Christ, or did he do it for real?
LOL
I know you're trying to be edgy and all, but you're just making an even greater fool of yourself than normal.
It's an RPG. Where is the choice?
