Earwicker posted:not people of color necessarily but there were definitely Jewish communities throughout Bohemia at this time, there were laws in various towns that restricted what kind of work Jews could do or how they must identify themselves in public (often a yellow patch which is what the Nazi's later based the yellow star on), there was tension and pogroms in some areas, it was definitely an issue in medieval Bohemian and German and many other societies.. and as far as I've seen the game makes no mention of any of this and all Czechs and Germans are portrayed as universally Christian. though I'm not that deep into the main quest.. Jews were restricted to towns where their movement was limited by the authority of the crown (which was their direct overlord and protector). They were not permitted to mingle with society at large, and were not allowed to live outside of their designated ghettos until like the end of 18th century. So most likely no Jews to encounter at all in the countryside. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Mar 7, 2018 |

Hieronymous Alloy posted:If they do medieval Prague -- and they will want to do Prague at some point almost certainly -- they will want to take the PC through the ghetto for the same reason they wanted to take Henry through the monastery. Personally I guess that they will choose Tábor instead of Prague for their Hussite Wars sequel. It would be much more manageable for a game with 1:1 relation to reality, and also more interesting, probably. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Mar 7, 2018 |

KyloWinter posted:Apparently there's a lot of criticism with regards to display of not only the historical fighting but peasant life as well all the way down to their clothing. Wow! There are some concession made due to gameplay, and some minor historical inaccuracies. For example I read one guy's complaint that the chicken in the game are inaccurate because that particular breed hadn't been developed until centuries later. I doubt they bothered to research such pedantic minutae.

DogonCrook posted:Starting over it really is striking how the quality degrades over time. Like watch the intro and the cutscenes with your father again the difference is night and day. Way more polished than any other part of the game i can remember, and the graphics are cranked way up in those scenes compared to others. I'm pretty sure those intros are prerendered videos.

Personally I don't understand why my reputation with Rattay soldiers keeps jumping up and down - I occasionally steal crap, but they never catch me, and I always let them search me without an argument. True, it affects nothing as far as I can tel,, but it's annoying.

Speaking of characters, I'm quite fond of the portrayal of Hans. I was sure he would be the obvious antagonist, the stuck up noble counterpart to our everyman hero. Yet he actually proves to be a good friend - if you get the chance to reach the social status where it is permissible to mingle with nobility. The game humanizes him, yet at the same time it always keeps in mind the feudal duality of his character - no matter how nice he may eventually end up in relationship to you, the concerns of the peasantry about his playboy lifestyle and wastrel ways remain in the center of his character dynamic, you get a distinct impression that by allowing yourself to join his circle, you are basically becoming a class traitor to the peasantry from which you came.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Historically, as far as I can figure out, it wasn't rebuilt as a town until like the 1500's. That's a very different town, you should be looking for Stříbrná Skalice. Which recovered soon after the pillaging, but the castle remained a ruin, Racek Kobyla turned to banditry, then was rehabilitated by the king and given a military office, but was killed for his Hussite loyalties by a mob.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Does the unlimited savings mod still work? I used the no schnapps version and it won't let me save since I don't have schnapps in my inventory. It works for me, but IIRC I had to get a schnapps in my inventory to make it initiate after the big patch. Afterwards there were no issues.

Is the loot in this game randomized? I've already found several Milanese brigandines in charcoal burners / general peasant huts, which is kinda immersion breaking, not to mention balance breaking...

LORD OF BOOTY posted:that at least makes a little more sense, if it was solely a matter of infidelity that would be the dumbest poo poo ever It is made very clear in the game that Yennefer is furious about Geralt's affair with Triss, and that Triss is bitter about Geralt choosing to find Yennefer after recvering his memories.

The super layered system is cool, but also there's not enough equipment to justify some of the slots currently, like I think I've only found one item for the hauberk layer that wasn't garbage. VVVV It's pretty much inexcusable that is not an option.

Palpek posted:Yes, which started the Hussite Wars (named after Hus's supporters) which included 5 crusades against The Kingdom of Bohemia proclaimed by the Pope. This is why people speculate that a sequel could take place during those crazy times. One of my favorite historical tidbits is that Joan of Arc swore to lead a crusade against Hussites after wrapping up the Hundred Years War.

Neurosis posted:lol. something else i thought was cool was how the heretics were a proto-protestant sect and merged into broader protestantism a couple of centuries later. i had no idea about the forebears to protestantism that were running around circa this game (well, aside from the rumblings from john wycliffe) The Utraquist church that arose from Hussites actually merged with the Catholics during the 16th century in opposition to German Protestant movements which they saw as hostile and destabilizing to the Kingdom. E: Oh, I though you were talking about Hus, not the heretics in the game. Well, yeah, the smaller factions were more complicated, but I wouldn't say they "merged" with what is conventionally considered Protestantism either... steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Mar 26, 2018 |

Yeah, my RPG instincts kicked in, and I immediately started grinding and looting everything before even starting the plot line properly, and it in no way helped me to progress. It's better to think of this game as an adventure than a "proper" RPG.

Wafflecopper posted:Who the gently caress likes inventory management It's one of the great myths of cRPG that intrusive inventory design is a design feature. You will get a bunch of angry fanboys screaming bloody murder if you try to make a cRPG with streamlined inventory management. Also it's worth noting that the chief developer of this game struck success with a game that was designed specifically to be as annoying about menial details as possible (Mafia)
