Mafia: The Old Country

Mafia: The Old Country

Can't wait to see how they're gonna "wokify" this
A game about the mafia set in 1900's Sicily? That's gonna be a hell of a challenge! But no matter how hard, these people will find a way to do it. It's gonna have to be subtle though, they can go full Dragon Age Veilguard on this one, the backlash would be insane. No, this requires a much more tactful approach. I am honestly curious about how they're gonna pull it off!

They won't "wokify" it or they'll break the immersion and disrespect everything the timeline stood for. A number of nations in Europe and elsewhere had serious punishment for unnatural acts like Homosexuality during this Era.

Only in the USA where a very minor group of people seeking to assert their DEI rights was there any traction on the subject at all and yet the USA didn't want to hear it. It wasn't until African-Americans managed to free their bonds and their chains from the institutionalised racism the past 200 years that the DEI message is starting to be heard and was starting to spread as well.

If there was ever a case to "wokify" such games it would have been in Mafia II and Mafia III. You won't see it in Mafia OC.

I go out of my way, searching woke every day. Feel free to discuss.

It will be anti-gamer and have progressive personality themes.

The woman in the trailer is fully covered, head to toe in some green clothing, unnaturally tidy. Also she gets presented with bloom lighting and other weird things going on.

Meanwhile... a bunch of dudes have their shirts open (bulge owners unite!), and look like Hollywood movie stars with the lighting/angles. When it comes to a trailer, everything is intentional.

I am doubtful we will see girl boss, but you never know these days. She might have a big secret, betray the bad guy, something like that. What it comes down to is the delivery of this information. It can be expressed 'for the message' or to tell a good story.

Women killers exist during the era, it's just extremely unusual to have them since the chosen method of killing would be poison. Most women don't have much power or authority of their own during those times either, that said women of the era weren't as conservative about their appearance though it mostly fashionable and functional.
