1) I was the first one on Codex to (correctly) predict that when Vavra talks about diversity, it means niggers. I was also the first one to bring news of Musa here. I've talked about Musa enough for everyone to know my opinion on this character and his inclusion. However, now that I've finished the game, I can say with 100% certainty that this character was completely unnecessary outside of scoring points with the journos and Blackrock. He was forced down your throat, but he was a bit character with minimal relevance to the story, and the game would be better off without him.
2) Musa's more plot-relevant comrade at arms is Sam, your jewish half-brother.
I didn't like this character. He was a punk with a chip on his shoulder - but just like with Musa, Henry loved this guy, for some reason. I've left him to die and skipped all the dialogue about Henry grieving about his death. I've felt nothing for him, except maybe annoyance.
3) Katherine, despite being on the cover, is barely even in the fucking game. I liked her (despite romancing Rosa instead of her), she was inoffensive, and I'd really prefer her to have the Kuttenberg story for herself, that Sam takes over instead. I'd gladly take a mary sue Black Widow doing flips with a crossbow over Sam. I'd say that both Rosa and Katherine are inferior to Theresa, but Theresa has the benefit of A Woman's Lot. Actually, Hans might be the best romance, because from the beginning to the end there's a lot of him, and he has a direct connection to the main story.
4) Another subject I was pretty vocal about is Istvan Toth. Now that we can look at KCD with the benefit of hindsight, this villain had no business surviving the first game. In KCD2, he felt tacked on. Like he's a part of the plot because he's on the bucket list and needs to be crossed out. With lord Otto, the frenchman, Markvart, Sigismund, Erik, the Chamberlain, the villains of the main plot are CROWDED. Istvan did not need to be a part of this crowd. The first game would be far better off with him dying at the end in a climactic ending, and the second would be far better off with the Chamberlain taking over the role of the Arc 1 final boss.
5) When the devs said "Newbies will be able to pick up the game without playing the first one, and they'll miss nothing, it'll do a fine job of recapping and explaining everything", they were remorseless fucking liars. I've played a little minigame - every time a name or an event from the first game comes up, I pretend to be a newbie without any context to anything, and try not to get confused.
6) The frenchman's heel turn comes out of nowhere, and makes me feel nothing. I guess I've killed him, but I didn't have any real animosity towards him like I've felt for Toth or Chamberlain.
7) The gay thing never bothered me, and it still doesn't.
8) The game is certainly a lot woker than KCD1, but whatever, we take what we can get in these dark times. At least it's not Avowed.
9) Fuck niggers.
