Well, I'm glad they changed that. Last thing I'd want is some bloody jihad against all us gamers because if it...

Look what happened with still cartoons.

boozee: they nerfed the prologue!
Are you fucking kidding me? The game is a cakewalk even on hard and yet they're nerfing things?

scampywiak: Nonsense. They should be able to put whatever they want in the game. Sorry if I don't care that zealots get all butthurt over it.
I don't think the original textures were intended to be there or were there to make a statement of sorts. They probably wanted something exotic, oriental in the brothel to evoke probably a harem of sort and ended up using a pic of a prayer rug. I don't see anything wrong with CDPR fixing something they did not intend in the first place as stated in the clarification by that staff member.

I suspect this was aimed at the part where you have to help Foltest across the bridge while....lets say, under fire.

I know that part wasn't super easy, and had some difficulty doing it myself, and had do it myself for a friend.
If it's one texture I don't really care. If it is more than that though it's pretty shitty to attach a censorship effort to a patch.
Why did they remove the islamic textures? Who cares about that crap seriously?

It ended up saying something entirely different from what they meant, so they treated it as a bug. I don't really understand why so many people on these forums seem to be keen on having their prayer rugs in their brothels.
Because it feels like censorship
Really stupid they would listen to people who are offended with the game when they aren't suppose to play the game in the first place, religiously.

They can ffs, play the game.. but why they have to ruined it for others?
god help CDPR if Wiccans start complaining. With the Pentagrams used for dark rituals and all, that could be considered offensive, yet thats fine. Not complaining, just stating the religious excuse is not flying.

It's not censorship. They're correcting a minor mistake that had unintended consequences.

Wiccans have rights to complain about Slavic-heathen stuff?
I'm amazed people are getting so worked up about this. It's a rug texture, i mean for fucks sake. They included a texture they probably didn't realize was strictly Muslim in origin (probably just thought it looked nice) and are now removing it to avoid potential offense that was most likely never intended. It's not as if there's anything actually relevant to the plot being changed.
Ok, so there proably are some Allah Fanatics that would get butthurt about insulting their religion by putting the preyer rug in a brothel. Then you (we) are just some Freedom Fanatics getting butthurt about some detail not altering the game in any meaningful way. Are we really better than them?

And yes, I think so, but I cannot properly rationalize it even to myself. Any help?

BTW "President Obama receives an anti-islamic game from the Polish PM" would make beautiful headlines on Al-Jazeera. Probably not worth seeing the CDP-RED studio bombed, but still nice:)

If this ruins the game for you you must be out of your mind
