Sure, cities and events are different, that's a staple with AC like people said, but they make this mode specifically to teach people about history, but still keep those inaccuracies? it's just weird. As far as I know they haven't changed anything about the open world. I'm sure the mode points out several inaccuracies they made thanks to the games design. There would be a lot of them. It's not really meant to be a history simulator. Remember how AC had that thing where you could get info about a specific building? It's basically a mode based around that which isn't worried about being a part of the animus canon. So they actually can go into detail about stuff they changed for the sake of the game. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:897883598] in Wow SJW Ub...

They're taking artistic licence to appeal to a wider fanbase, while also making sure to inform viewers how their changes are inaccurate from a historical context. Not sure i see the problem. It's just blatant emotional manipulation for the sake of turning a profit. It's the manifestation of corporate interest in a product meant for personal entertainment and it's not done in an entertaining or subtle manner. No one ever thought twice about it until Ubisoft made an educational mode and made sure to clear up their historical inaccuracies. But they could have... you know... not included the historical inaccuracy. Or have it, but not draw pointless attention to it, since I don't think people would scrutinize a detail like that in a game. But their games are full of historical inaccuracies and not pointing them out would have defeated the purpose of the Discovery Tour mode, which is educational and separate from the main game. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png http://www.last.fm/user/hockeybub89/ <cite>hockeybub89 posted [p:897936926] in Wow SJW Ub...

The funny thing is that if they never pointed it out, no one would've given a shit, no one would've noticed that boys and girls being in the same classroom wasn't historically accurate, but at least they let you know its not, but they rather not piss people off! Which is why this is totally insincere. What does sincerity have to do with anything? They're just making sure people know the truth.
