Pyrolocutus posted:The thing that gets me is that it's a complete 180 from what the Confederacy was actually predicated on. I mean, you look at the personal and public writings of high-ranking Confederates, the establishing documents of the Confederacy, and the revisions that states made to their constitutions when they joined the Confederacy, and it's bluntly obvious that the Confederacy was established in great part due to being butthurt over not being able to utilize slaves in their rear end-backwards economic system. Then in WWX, you got them going "oh, totally our bad dudes, now we're all about free men and being plucky rebels against the authoritarian Union!" At best, it's a bad attempt to make a faction more palatable to the average game, at worst it's apologism and/or whitewashing. "It's not about slavery, it's about ethics in government!"

Antivehicular posted:If we're talking about fluff embarrassments involving real-world history, Scion has to get a mention, if only for the bit where Hernan "The Killer" Cortes is established to be a Scion of Quetzalcoatl who was deliberately intended to destroy the corrupt Aztec civilization. Stay classy, White Wolf! Everything about Scion was a mistake, from rules to fluff. It was the kind of product that you could give WW a pass for if it was made in the early 90's days of Vampire, but... it came out in 2007. It was like "C'mon, White Wolf, what were you thinking?" Of course, it won an ENnie. I guess the WW execs had pictures of the judges blowing a donkey at GenCon.
