Holy fuck, you're retarded.
The African explorer character makes boasts about his home country and says that Bohemian food lacks spices, and somehow that's spun into Daniel Vavra saying that medieval Mali was literally Wakanda. The only retarded ones here are you guys who can't comprehend that not everything in the game is endorsed by its creators.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yes, I was a long-time lurker until the level of retardation in this thread grew to be too much to handle. Don't wig out all schizo. Take it as a compliment.
It's the most infuriating mixture of boring inconsequential gameplay and an annoyingly written meandering plot I've ever experienced in a videogame.
The entirety of the first map is superfluous, nothing significant happens on it gameplay or story wise. They could have left it all out and the game would be better for it.
I do sympathize with normies who only play whatever's popular and so jumped onto KCD2 without any knowledge of what the game's trying to achieve. Things like establishing a setting, buildup for a payoff, character development, etc, cannot coexist with an instant gratification power fantasy.
It's just preferences at the end of the day. One man's boring inconsequential gameplay is another's immersive variety. One man's superfluous first map is another's beginner area (like White Orchard from the Witcher 3). Just know that this is entirely analogous to the Dark Souls easy mode discourse, and you are square on the side of the "gaming dads with 30 minutes of free time each week who just wants to relax" in this.
Games should be complex, they should be particular, they should filter large segments of the population. There are plenty of other series that cater to people with low patience and high insecurity, you can let one exist that doesn't.
The only nice person you meet on the entire map is the girl at Nebakov castle that wants you to pick flowers with her. Everybody else is a standoffish asshole for absolutely no reason.
It's deliberately designed to subvert your expectations if you wanted a realistic knight simulator because all of the missions on the first map are fetch quests with barely any combat at all.
Can you acknowledge that the first game was pretty much the same? Early game wasn't instant knight simulator, there had to be buildup to it.
Reputation is a tracked value in-game. It's rewarding to build it up to make them like you. It's just RPG basics.
If Synth gets this bent out of shape over KCD2, I'd hate to see him play Morrowind.
