Bro PLEASE!!! anything but ntr, swinging and sharing.
Well not really a fun and exciting situation to some (others will love the possible early sex though) but as an early plotpoint and fact that that world is not always kind it does make some sense and I understood from remark dev scenes will be avoidable at least . Based on renders and fact story seems definitely different and interesting, hoping it will continue and def checking it out when bit further in development. Will be interesting to see what this dev will be able to do with the new Nvidia cards coming soonish.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Previews look very good; I'll give this another update or two before trying it, but just chiming in to agree that 1502 is way past the Middle Ages, esp. in the Mediterranean, but swearing is not a new invention: It's absolutely reasonable for people of any period to use (their language equivalents of) fuck, cunt, etc.And after trying this first version I'm speechless. The render quality, the soundtrack, the expressiveness in every sentence....
WOW!
It's so short though!
Just a couple of pedantic complaints:
- 1502 is NOT the Middle Ages but the early modern history. That's not medieval France any more.
- I doubt people of that time period would say "ass", "motherfucker", "cum" or "I blew it"
Hey, sorry if I jumped at you, it's a bit of a bugbear of mine. People in the past were just as varied, dirty, and horny as we are, and that tends to get written out of a lot of historical fiction that paints the past as some sort of High Romance. Words like 'fuck' and 'cunt' have been around in English for (fucking) centuries and are not out of place in any way.I thought it was clear enough that my comment about using modern swearwords was tongue in cheek.
But I guess I'll have to say it explicitly: Hey guys, don't take my comment about using modern swearwords seriously. I was joking
Not only in English. This comment deserves both a hahahaha and a like at same time. Fact by the way that most of the people that were literate in those days were either pretty rich and belonged to a certain class or belonged to a certain institution also played its part in that. Think we are talking late 19th or even early 20th century until literacy became something of a thing for segments of the poorer parts of the population in most of the Western world and was not even close to an universal skill by then.Hey, sorry if I jumped at you, it's a bit of a bugbear of mine.

Definitely. And whore as well as many others.Hey, sorry if I jumped at you, it's a bit of a bugbear of mine.

Quickest way to get the mods' attention is often to report your own post.(btw does anybody how can I get that developer tag thingy?)
Gotta say, that was one of the first things I discovered... and it came from reading Guerin's great fabliaux "The Knight who could make cunts and assholes speak"... At the age of 16.Words like 'fuck' and 'cunt' have been around in English for (fucking) centuries and are not out of place in any way.
Which then leads one to the question... just how accurate of a portrayal do you think is good?As for the year 1502 and the Middle Ages, I was serious about that. If the dev is going to mention or portray some real historical events in the game (which I will love since I love History!) I think it's only honest if I express my notion that we should be more accurate.
No no no... I would never expect such levels of accuracy even if I could tell the difference, but I'm a thousand miles from being an expert on those subjects so...Which then leads one to the question... just how accurate of a portrayal do you think is good?
I mean, there's a point where It's great where the Setting is portrayed faithfully... and then there's Anally retentive levels of detail... such as "That doublet should have Z-Spun woollen yarns and a cotton weft"... or "That breastplate isn't curved enough... I'm gonna fucking burn your house down!" levels of accuracy...
In my opinion, So long as the Gist of everything is right and the renders are looking great... then I'm happy. Not to say I wouldn't be even happier if more attention is also shown on getting things such as the clothing/weapons/cooking-utensils/beds/textiles etcetera to be narrowed down accurately too... of course I would, I'mma God-damn Reenactor... sorta. But then I'm happy enough looking at those fine Butt-cheeks!
