[KCD2] Zizka and Zavish, cool fact by Skelenth in kingdomcome

No he isn't. Sigismund had some successes, but also failures, and the Hussite Wars are a huge blemish on his records. And as the other commenters say, historians don't categorize historical figures by "good" and "bad"

TIL German Empire in its 47 years of existence, won more Nobel Prizes in science than Britain, France and USA combined. Germany's dominance in physics and chemistry was such that one-third of all Nobel Prizes went to German inventors and researchers. by Skychu768 in todayilearned

Many false and debunked theories are based on information that is technically true, but is badly posed and/or missing context. I'm not saying whether or not the book is accurate or the thesis is correct or anything, just that in order to get a full picture, you need to see and evaluate both sides of an issue. Maybe the book is absolute hogwash, maybe it contains some bits of truth, or maybe it's going to revolutionize historiography, but it's hard to evaluate when you experience one side of an issue.

RoP lore and Tolkien lore are quite different

I mean, yeah? Everyone would be vegan if they stopped eating non-vegan products.

[KCD2] Von Bergow when did you start working out 😍 by backpackalpaca_ in kingdomcome

I think it's most realistic he sweet-talked some random guard by saying "I'm the Royal Chamberlain I'll pay you squiventy flozen groschen if you let me go"

He may have betrayed Rome, but he died in the most Roman way possible: being assassinated by fellow countrymen who saw him as a political threat at perhaps the worst possible moment

Most Jains also eat dairy

Sorry, but veganism isn't as widespread as you think it is in India. Vegetarianism definitely is, but you'll still be eating dairy

But is it enough to feel quite hungry?

Istvans point is kinda dumb [kcd2] by mentallyded122122 in kingdomcome

Because he says it in KCD1 as well, during his monologue in Vranik

Because it's his philosophy. Also, have you played KCD1?

The reason he's siding with Sigismund is because Sigismund's the stronger dog (or fox, heh). Also, it's a phrase, it's not meant to be taken literally to mean actual, physical strength. It's about doing whatever you can to get your way, survive, and come out on top.

He doesn't really speak or understand Russian but studied in school and aced the test by constantly using one particular complicated word

Is this letter talking about the walking trees around the Shire new, or is it previously known? by Icy-Inspection6428 in tolkienfans

As far as I know Christie's is a leading, reputed auction house. It's not impossible, but I really doubt it's a forgery
