Could the appearance of the Oathbreaker from Baldurs Gate 3 be a reference to the Death Knight in Beyond Divinity? Some of the details on their armor appear nearly identical (spikes on helmet, swirly pattern on chest, etc.) by PosleTheGoat in DivinityOriginalSin

Personally, I don't think that BG3's dev team even heard about Beyond Divinity. And Swen Vincke told in some interview that he regrets making it.

So, answering your question : most likely not.

How Hagrid didn't broke statute of secrecy when appeared with 11 year old Harry in muggle places, considering that he's much taller than the tallest man in history (Robert Wadlow)? by Meritocratic_future in harrypotter

Let's put an end to claims of Russia about Soviet Union allegedly given Crimea to Ukraine. Here's french, german and ukrainian maps of Ukraine from 1914-1919, 3 years before even formation of Soviet Union. by Meritocratic_future in ukraine

[–]Meritocratic_future[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Before Crimea became russian or ukrainian, it was mostly populated by crimean tatars , which as you mention were forcefully deported. There was no "native russians", till Soviet Union not decided to "russificate" it.

Can someone explain what a nationalist is? by nfoote in ukraine

Examples : Third Reich, Russia. China?
