Discrimination? | Forums

So the game has factions from all major cultures. Europeans, TWO asians.

Where is the arabic faction? What is the reason why a culture with such rich history is excluded, located between Europe and Asia?

You can fight as a samurai against a black viking, but you cant choose an egyptian, persian or ottoman warriors that conquered half of the world for a millenia.

So why isnt there an arabic/muslim faction?

Absence of <X> does not translate into discrimination. Following your logic For Honor is discriminative against; Mongolian, Russian, Polynesian, African, Incan, Aztec, Indian, Spanish (yes Spanish, their design of weapon and armor is very distinctive and different than the ones in For Honor which is more inline with Frank, Teutonic, British style)

That list would keep going longer, but I guess you got my point?

Not to mention that the factions portrayed are not historically accurate in any way which can also be seen as a form of discrimination.

Just keep your pants on. we're getting a new faction, which opens up the possibility for more factions in the future. Perhaps an arabic faction is next in line? It has been suggested a few times.

Bro why do you think this way?
As the guy who wrote the previous comment said, we dont have many factions.
Ubi made a good job and brought us 3 factions and is going to release a new one.
We don't have aicent Greece and not even a Roman faction (cent and glad in the knights faction doesn't count).
Its not that Ubi has many factions ready and they can realse a faction whenever they want.
Think about how difficult and complicated it is to create just one character... and you are asking for a few factions.

i got your point, but you seem to ignore or refuse to fully understand mine.

maybe except mongolians (that is actually also connected to chinese faction) all those countries shared similar cultures and historical impact. mesoamerican civilizations are already covered with shaman. greeks are similar to romans.

middle east had a very important historical role in time period if not the most, they were HUGE. yet there isnt a single muslim hero. that is my point.

centurion and gladiator dont count? lol thats two heros for one civilization, its more than enough. also the coolest ones

Excuse you, but no. Shaman is very much a viking even though her design is awful. Greeks are similar to Romans in the same way arabs are similar to Scandinavians, if you know your history well enough you'll understand.
We understand your point perfectly and I agree that an arabic faction would be pretty great, but so would an African or American one. In reality the muslims were pretty much on top of the world during the timespan we have in this game (unless you also count the romans). But here's the thing, this is a fantasy game. This is not a historically accurate game. For all we know there is no such thing as an arab-equivalent in the world of For Honor. Nor Africa, nor America. The only thing we can do is argue that a faction would fit into the world and put forth good reasons why. Crying discrimination and demanding it will only have the opposite effect.

we cant have 100s of factions so unfortunately some will get hurt that they don't have their choice of faction in the game, I too would like to see Persian or Egyptian etc but i'm not offended because they don't have it. also ubi accept any suggestions and may in future release new factions so be sure to post your ideas.

lol we both know hats ******** and muslims arent included because of the negative popularity thanks to media and world affairs, also possibly that game makers are christians and dont like muslims.

chinese are included because of the $$, huge market share.

thats the real truth, no need for hypocrisy.

Agree with you 100%. I have made numerous constructive Threads about this. Devs seem not to give a damn about it. look at Turkish made Game Mount And Blade , you can see how every Culture is represented kindly, as detailed as Possible. When it comes to european benefit motivated game like for honor. All you get to experience is how self centred it is . cant wait mount and blade 2 release.. we just have to accept that we dont fit in their World. İ have no high expectations from For honor in this regard anymore.. İts makers are Sons of colonists... which have prooved several times what intentions they had towards other Cultures throughout the History.. they left their homes for Gold.. and wealth. i am not suprised. ill probly be banned again. But i so dont give a damn.
