Lie number 3: CA said in an interview that we will
not play as a faction, but as a character. But at the latest event they told the TW youtubers that we will
not play as a single character, but as his clan, which includes his bloodline and children as well. That
is a faction. These statements can't both be true, one of them is false. Time will tell which one. And by the way, apparently both statements were miraculously made by the same person. Who, by the way, had also lied to us about Rome 2 before its release as well. Interesting how life often repeats itself, huh?
And to the people who wonder about the negative feedback: you reap what you sow. CA is lying to us and shows footage of a really badly designed game with cartoony animations, magic abilities, arcade mechanics, extremely fast battles and so many more. Seriously, how did you expect people to react? Even though Rome 2 has come a really long way by now, its release state has left a sour taste to many TW players, which apparently has not gone away yet for many of them. And the awful way CA is handling the whole three kingdoms project so far doesn't help at all either.
