Ah, thanks. I'll wait a year then.

Will we get a stat based handjob minigame? Can we marry the mali doctor and adopt niglets? Beside romancing gays, can we also romance horses or do the drag stuff? Very important questions for my immersion.

There's also a new #BASED Throat skill. You'll have to train it up before taking the whole thing. Takes a long time according to #BASED Vavra, he did a lot of research when implementing it and we are all thankful for the thoroughness of his craft.

17th place at the wishlist list for an AAA is not good. On release, it will probably climb on higher positions but if I remember correctly, KCD1 was more expected.

I am seeing it in the 10th place, above Borderlands 4 and Subnautica 2. They have about 1.3 million wishlists.

Any guesses as to the Steam CCU peak?

 

[Chudolfler]

I can't even view the other thread. Was it shut for everyone or just me?

Same, I even created this account thinking that would work lol. I've been keeping up with the news etc. with it, been entertained along the way too. (I know the mods can only see my comment for now though.)

I donated just for that and its totally worth it.

I don't even want to see the politics forum. I just wish the mods would stop trying to hide and censor issues that are actually related to games.

Devs put retarded politics and propaganda in game and usually scream about it on social media
People react to those politics
"Oh no no no we can't have this, why aren't you taking about the gameplay if you care about it so much? Huh? Huh?"

It's so transparent and disingenuous. People are talking about it because the devs decided to shoehorn in their nonsense. If not for that, there would be no or little politics talk in the game threads. I'll give the mods here that they at least (usually) try to sweep it under the rug instead of deleting it outright, as other forums do, but it's still dishonest.

Oh it is fun to see where the crazy kids gather. FBI has fun every day there.

Yep, pozzing is always closely related to gameplay and writing.

The noble black being in likely also means a wide softening of ALL racial conflicts in the game.
Open gay stuff means a modern vision of sexualization and less religion focus.
I also fear for the jews being very plot protected.

Everything is connected.

What weapon type gets bonus damage vs. negroids? This is an important gameplay question.

Knees.

 

[Tyranicon]

I'm curious how the second game will treat the Cumans.

 

[Kleptocratic debt serf]

What weapon type gets bonus damage vs. negroids? This is an important gameplay question.

An honest day's work, intelligible discourse (not to be conflated with intellectual discourse - that is instadeath for the garden variety pavement ape), paternity tests, reading, writing & arithmetic too.

The negroid gets bonus skill and/or ability points for watermelons, fried chicken, white bitchez, holding their glock sideways, wearing "bling", "keeping it real," rap battles and aspiring to play professional sports.

Knees.

You have to apply the Fentanyl debuff first for the Knee of Justice to gain +100% to DMG.

So, it's all real:

[Ascetic]

I can't wait to go on a same-sex adventure on February 4th. Will you guys go with a top or a bottom build first? I've heard it's hard to pull off a hybrid class, not enough skill points to go around.

 

[Tyrr]

I'm curious how the second game will treat the Cumans.

We learn that they were just called "Ans" before they meet Henry.

 

[Rahdulan]

How quickly "no blacks in Bohemia" got turned around. Despite what he says I wonder what Koch Media had to say about that during development.

 

[Thalstarion]

The hit to pre-order cancellations must have been notable for him to come out with such a statement. He's likely seething, as this is all stuff he desperately wanted to hide prior to the game's launch. Unfortunately for him, many gamers are a lot more switched on and sensed something was amiss when the journalists began praising the game as the best thing since sliced bread. These days they only do that if a game is compromised on some level. The leaks only added fuel to the fire.

He doesn't address the concerns about the tightening of the terms of service or how he is slyly implying that anyone who has a problem with diversity or gay characters is just another Nazi. A common trick deployed by many companies even when receiving polite criticism, including minorities who despise tokenism and performative pandering.

I do not expect the backlash to cease now that there's an explicit confirmation out there, at any rate.

The game comes out a bit too late. The culture has already shifted.
All the woke slop that failed in 2024 advanced the shift.

Now I can only cheer that the game ends as well as last Dragon age.
If he was smart he would have delayed the game and cut that shit out but I guess he will die on his own sword now.
It turns out Disney are more of a learning animal than this fake chud from Czech Republic

 

[Larianshill]

I coped to the end that it's fake. Oh Jesus Christ, it's over, it's so over

 

[Thalstarion]

Now the damage control begins:

Nah. That is evidence of subversion. Henry is now canonically bisexual even if a player doesn't partake and there was no prior indication of it present in the previous game.

The token minority is written in that infuriatingly safe manner where he's intelligent, charming and well spoken but portrayed as a victim because the medieval peasantry are wary of an outsider at a time period when outsiders were readily tied to invading armies seeking to murder and sexually assault anyone they could get their hands on.

Those who actually crave a same sex romance scene are also left wanting which is further proof it was added for the sake of tokenism and because it is being forcibly injected into the game in exchange for funding.

At any rate, I predict another flood of cancelled pre-orders from those who were hoping the leaks were just fakes or who see this sort of thing as a reason to not purchase the game.

 

[tommy heavenly6]

"Wild claims"

Wild claims that were all just confirmed by him just now?

 

[Artyoan]

That is disappointing. Vavra should have stuck to his guns as he was right to begin with. Trying to pass the inclusion of this character as purely a creative endeavor is not going to fly considering the past misguided criticism was asking for shoehorning in exactly this manner.

This was never a day one buy for me regardless.

 

[Quillon]

cheesus crust pea braised! finally Henry will get the hate he deserves, albeit not for being bland dull af yokel but for that he is gaaaaaaay lmao

but seriously, its optional, wake me up when same sex NPCs harass us for our dick all game long or when the game surprises us with totally - not really - gay scenes that we didn't sign up for etc. somehow I doubt that'll be the case here
