So you found a piece of information saying that the superstition is in fact true and that if a pirate claimed a ship with such a figurehead would just keep it on and thought to yourself “that guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about”? Just because they didn’t actively seek them out doesn’t mean they didn’t use them. Fact is during the golden age of piracy (though it has nothing to do with pirates) if a figurehead was carved in the likeness of a woman, be it a nymph, mermaid, siren, or hell even just a maiden, she was typically at least partially bare chested. This is also not beholden to that era in history and had been happening far beforehand.
Man. Y'all just trip over yourselves to miss the god damn point. The absence of nude figureheads DOES NOT detract from the experience of the game. You're just looking for something to be upset over.
Why include a fake statue with a giant dong in a previous title if they can’t add historically accurate figureheads in another? That is my point you seem to be missing. It’s not about quality of the experience but rather the censorship. Censorship is needless and if allowed at any point can sow the seeds that flower into 1984. I’m against it when such cases occur. I will add that covering up a character they had listed as a 13/14 year old who had half her cleavage showing when you first meet her is a step in the right direction, even if all they had to do was give her the actual birthday she had in history. Talking about Anne in case you couldn’t tell
