Hahahaha! Oh programming ^^

[@Forestxavier20]

Ironically, that wasn't the developers intent, that was an issue with the War Tendency Scale. They put him at a one, and when he goes to Democracy, he gets -2. This means that -1, an imaginary number in programming was his value. This flowed back to the top to solve the error. This meant Ghandi had a 255.... out of ten. So that liberty was actually just game developers not thinking about the consequences of what might happen, then everyone loving it so it was kept in as a joke.

That's not quite true. Computers can use negative numbers. The issue lays with the type of integer they stored the number in called a pos int or, more accurately in c, an unsigned integer. That acts exactly as you said, it instead cannot go negative and just underflowed back to the maximum value.

Not to mention that he can easily read it when it's on the wall at Mario's office, even though Leonardo simply reads the pages and mumbles, making no change at all.

Naturally, Gandhi's was set to 1. The endgame democratic government reduced aggression by 1, but Gandhi's was already at the lowest possible value (given how they stored the data), 1-1 became the _largest_ possible value...*255*.

[@iVelorium]

Thanks for taking an hour out of my night. I went and binged the Hamilton soundtrack (again) after that one.

[@drearyghost13]

I haven't read the Divine Comedy myself but I'm pretty sure that Dante Alighieri in the epic wasn't entirely accurate to Dante Alighieri in real life, so I'm not sure Dante's Inferno really counts. The epic itself, not just the game, was just about Dante's vision of Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, but I highly doubt he actually traveled there and was guided by the spirit of Roman poet Virgil to rescue his love from the Devil while meeting King Midas, Socrates, and many others along the way.

[@hammerklav8152]

He didn't go in real life of course, but in the book he does, he's there, it's not a vision.

[@drearyghost13]

Nicolas Betzios I meant vision as in idea (I have a bad habit of using words fancier than they need to be and it kind obscures what I mean). I know he only does it in the book, and that's my point - the game is accurate considering Dante was based on the character that Alighieri made. Book Dante is no more accurate than game Dante, which makes the point invalid.

[@someonerandom8552]

drearyghost13 The game is not at all accurate to the depiction of either the book or even Dante himself. I mean geez, even Disney's Frozen is closer to it's source material. But you are aware that the book is literally *self insert* fiction, right? Meaning book Dante was just an exaggerated version of real Dante. The video game paints him as this rugged flawed hero and a Templar fighting in (one of the) Crusades, who does awful things because he thinks the Church forgives all his sins. I sincerely doubt Dante fought in the Crusades. I don't even think he was involved in the war going on around his neighborhood at the time. Maybe he was, I don't know. But in the book he wanders around hero worshiping his idol Virgil and mocking all his enemies. Including Popes he dislikes. But he's no Templar, he's not even a hero. He just sort of relies on Virgil to hold his hand and he faints a lot. So the point stands, whilst the book's events are fictional, it does fairly accurately portray Dante as he was in real life. A kind of nerdy guy with a love of literature, who also seemed to idolize the classical poets. The video game, on the other hand, does not.

[@hammerklav8152]

Someone random Thank you, I didn't have the time to respond proprerly. PS: Dante was indeed not a warrior but he did participate in the battle of Campaldino in 1289.

[@drearyghost13]

Someone random I am very aware that it's self insert fiction. Oxbox are listing Dante's Inferno as a game in which the characters are historically inaccurate, my point is literally just that that's wrong because The Divine Comedy is self insert fiction (and they never mentioned the other characters based on real life people). We are more or less agreeing on the same point - I'd argue Dante's Inferno is an inaccurate representation of The Divine Comedy, not Dante Alighieri himself, so it's not HISTORICALLY inaccurate.

Bro, the flute can be used as a weapon if perfected enough. You can just destroy any soldier hearing along with yours.

I'd say they took some historic liberties with dragonborn

[@Marc-lf4du]

Birdman Eags that didn't use any real people though sure the whole elder scrolls series was based partly on Scandinavian countries (and a little Arabian and Roman...) but no actual famous people are in it it's all fantasy

Birdman Eags well yeah It's clearly a joke.. But it also wouldn't work on the list because he never even existed

We also have a genderbent King Arthur in Fate/Grand Order

[@WolfFenrirHelix]

We've had a Gender-bent Arthur since Fate/Stay Night.

[@JohnSmith-op3qj]

Wolf Helix Well, yes, but I wouldn't consider VNs as a comparable game standard in this case.

[@WolfFenrirHelix]

Still a game, since you still have to make choices which determine life/death, and success/failure. But if you REALLY can't count VN's as games, Nero, the playable Saber in Fate/Extra, Fate/Unlimited Codes, and Fate/Unlimited Codes CCC, is Genderbent Emperor Nero, and they're action/RPG/fighting games.

[@JohnSmith-op3qj]

Wolf Helix I actually don't know much about /Extra and /Unlimited Codes. What consoles are they on?

[@WolfFenrirHelix]

PSP, I believe.

[@ValensBellator]

lol all that talk about Nero and no mention that he was only 30 when he died, but appeared to be twice that in the game?

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

ValensBellator I was going to comment that. Good to know that someone else knew that.

Actually, Dante merely wrote a self insert fanfic where he meets his man crush Virgil and they go on an adventure together so Dante can see his dead girlfriend one last time Also, Chopin's VA is horrible in the mist hilarious way

"Napoleon wouldn't speak with a british accent" To be fair if Napoelon were to speak english he would be more likely to do so with a british than american accent...gosh american considering themselves the default is so annoying sometimes

Soo, every assassins' creed game ever?

[@YorkshireFox1009]

Unlike the aforementioned series, your comment is correct

[@alicethetransdalek7333]

varizza some parts are accurate

[@Sableagle]

Some parts are accurate, sure. Black tea being shipped from India to Britain, horses generally drawing carriages rather than pushing them, Paris being in France ...

[@AmaranthOriginal]

For example, the past existed...

[@kuoliibk]

varizza actually even thou a lot of the target were killed by assassins. the time and place of death are usually accurate
