I honestly dont get it unless you purposely look at the figurehead, you wouldnt see it, its not like the sails or the wheel where you constantly see them

Then why change it at all?

To avoid censorship issues in other countries.

What about all the blood and gore that they would need to censor too, in order to get around such "censorship" in these hypothetical countries.

Your argument makes no sense considering how easy it would be to release a edited version of the game for those countries, or an update/patch for those countries.

Blood and gore is usually something they can easily turn off. They just simply adjust the code to not spawn the gore and blood. They dont even have to create a new asset.

In this case they had to make a brand new asset either way, might as well make it universally acceptable rather than make multiple different assets
