1/10 There are NO unskippable cutscenes in our games. Anybody who claims otherwise never played them.

2/10 We are NOT (nor ever were) banned in any country – at least not that we know of.

3/10 As much as I don’t like "forced diversity", nobody was forcing us to do anything, and we are not forcing anyone to do certain things.

4/10 Gay characters were already in KCD1.

5/10 KCD is an RPG, you are responsible for your decisions. If you want Henry to try a same-sex adventure, feel free. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to. All affairs are (and were in KCD1) purely optional. The characters are perfectly aware, that it was a forbidden sin.

6/10 The game takes place in one of the richest cities in Europe which was besieged by a massive foreign army. That´s the reason why the life in such a city is more diverse than the life in villages which were featured in the first game.

7/10 Musa came to Bohemia with an invading army as a member of the royal court of King Sigismund, whom he met thanks to his engagement at the court of Sultan Bayezid. He's an educated noble and renaissance man from the Kingdom of Mali.

8/10 At the same time, Musa is a very unusual figure for the local Bohemian folk, and many of the situations around him in the game stem from this. So his presence makes sense and creates lots of interesting situations in the game. The way he talks and behaves has a reason.

9/10 Everything displayed corresponds to the morals and social norms of 1403 Bohemia and is only there to make an interesting story, and not at all to appeal to a “modern audience".

10/10 We don't want KCD to be used as clickbait by people who didn't even play it yet. Some of them sadly turned into exactly the same narrative they pretend to be fighting against. The amount of hateful behavior is really sad and it will damage any cause associated with it.

So, in short, he admits the presence of optional same-sex romance and he confirms the presence of the black character. Sounds pretty woke to me, especially by someone who larped as being "based and not politically correct" on SM What a hypocrite.
This discussion should be pinned. Good job man

If people still want to hate on this game, fair enough. At least , now we have it from the actual Director of the game.

[CelkyN6]

Honestly the main thing I take issue with is the muslim guy being ahistorically black and preaching about how they treat women better, that is unquestionably woke pandering and I'm at the point where I just wont fund that stuff regardless of how small it is. This narrative pushing and historical revisionism has real world consequences.

[Ghostpro71]

BOOOM!!!! Beautiful tweet by the man himself!

[Lordofriva]

And here I though this had all been deboooonked. It's all so bothersome.

[FiveDollarShake]

Okay, I’m satisfied. Whew. I’m hopping back on the KCD2 bandwagon!

[Mordys]

Thanks OP. So basicly no forced gay stuff, and no BLM. Thats what i wanted to read.

And no one ever denied it. It was the forced unskippable that people were saying, and the Saudi Arabia media outlet was "swearing" by, which was false.

This whole thing was a freaking sham. People overreacted horribly about this entire thing.

Lmao all the damage control shills are looking pretty stupid right now. Confirmed woke.

It’s OVER.

not really Lmao, it's is a confirmation of what people who've stayed Warhore's side have been saying for the past day or so. It confirmed everything the Czech users on this forum have said about their personal experiences talking to people who've played the game.

[Temp950]

Well I'll still play it, but I guess warhorse isn't really what a lot of people thought they were. I mean, even giving Henry a gay romance option is pretty insane. He was a straight man in the first game and now suddenly there is an option for him to be gay? He isn't just a character you make up as you want, but a defined character. So is there an option to make him go atheist, or to make him convert to Islam? It wouldn't make sense, and it doesn't make sense to add in gay romance options for him either. Why not go ahead and add an option for him to transition into a female if its all about player choice?

And while I have no problem with a black character in the game if it makes sense, both these decisions reek of warhorse giving into the demands of the woke journalists and their corporate overlords. I really hope that dialogue excerpt isn't true too, and I hope to hell the romance "option" isn't with Hans. That would really just turn the friendship into something else.

I mean yeah that means it's woke
That's the standard that was set by the group
I don't make the rules

[Shield-biter]

Ancestors rolling in their graves right now. Is nothing sacred? I was raised to treat everyone equally, but when they can't even meet me in the middle then everything goes out the window. They literally took everything I loved growing up and warped it so that the original target audience are somehow the enemy. Now they want to completely rewrite history, this is a women's form of violence.
