the F word

[Prevenge]

Honestly I don't mind it in the least but the F word which I've seen in every video I've watched in the game is a 16th century German derived word in a game that is supposed to be historically correct 15th century Czech. Also you are going to keep many bible thumpers from purchasing the game as they tend to confuse cussing with cursing.

Not correct.

In czech, the word "kurva" has been in the middle europe since forever.

F word is literally being used instead of kurva in the game, while it means the same thing (first meant ♥♥♥♥♥, but more recently in the 1300s, ♥♥♥♥, or immense furstration.

Theres many origins for the F-word. Kurva comes from SLAVIC branch, meaning the same as ♥♥♥♥, while from GERMANIC version was created in 16th century.

Remember that not every word thats basically meaning the same come from the same language branch.

Some words were invented before for the F-word in other branches. Even some gaelic f-word (dont remember it now) was invented way in the 600s if not earlier for the CELTIC branch of language family.

You know that the Bohemians didn't speak English, right? Neither the 21st nor the 15th century versions?

Shhh don't tell people that, it'll ruin the immersion and "realism" of the game.

You did get my point though?

If they would be ACTUALLY TALKING slavic language like they did in bohemia back in the days, they did have a F-word, which it is being translated to.

I am sure you are correct Chiku, I would prefer if they used more authentic language as I can learn to F people in other languages. Like in Firefly when they used derogatory chinese. Now I know Kurva... MUHAHAHHAHAHAHAaaaaaaaaacoughcough
