I think the authorship of that is disputed, but this isn't my area, so I wouldn't be able to say for sure. Prior Ferenc is Hungarian, and in Central Europe, dabbling in learned magic was even less persecuted at this time than it was farther west. However, he is playing with fire and it quickly becomes relevant to the plot. rope kid fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Feb 27, 2023 |

The blurbs have to be quite brief and Aquinas was one where it felt particularly difficult to encompass his impact with examples (I guess I could have thrown in Summa Contra Gentiles and Summa Theologiae).

Three Ethiopian priests were at the Council of Constance 100 years before Pentiment takes place. So yes, it's unlikely, but this entire community is fictional and I'm the boss, applesauce.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:How much knowledge did you (or anyone that worked on the game really) have with 16th century Bavaria before making Pentiment and what was the research process like, if you dont mind So I had a lot of background knowledge going into the project, but we bolstered that considerably both with additional research and with our three PhD consultants (Christopher de Hamel, Ed Kern, and Winston Black). E: I should also add that Zoe Franznick, who joined the team in the second half of development, is a medievalist, albeit focusing in an earlier time period, and a Latinist (much better than me). She did most of the heavy lifting for the extended Latin passages in the game (I stuck to simple phrases/sentences). We also had a Latin consultant, Heather Nabbefeld, who was a classmate of mine in college and now teaches at Boston Latin School. rope kid fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Mar 7, 2023 |

Samovar posted:Like, why was it necessary to mention 'this will be remembered' if one cannot see how it will effect things until it happens? It seems like it is an unneeded pop-up, since ALL things within reason that you do will be remembered by others. Both Andreas' internal voices and the pop-ups are a way for us to convey that there will be a point in time where the things you are doing will be instrumental in how an NPC reacts to you, so you should keep that in mind when you are making choices in general.

If you patch the game there are also some updates to content.

The info about charcoal burners came from Joel F. Harrington’s book The Faithful Executioner, where burners were described as being in a lower rung of social acceptability. Executioners could marry into a charcoal burner family, for example.

I highly recommend The Faithful Executioner. It's a relatively quick read and (IMO) a fascinating glimpse into concepts of law and punishment in the Early Modern HRE.
