Early in the first act, you come across a Jewish merchant named Mordecai Haim. As well as being a vendor, you can engage him in the same kind of ‘hey, how’s it going? Anything going on in the area?’ small talk as you can with most NPCs. His response to such an inquiry? ‘Pay me’. Jesus Christ.

There’s also a character who is revealed as being gay during the core questline, but adding this element to their characterisation is to fall back on such an agonisingly tired, boring and dated series of tropes that I’d frankly rather they’d just not have even gone there at all.

I love how he doesn’t specify why the characterization is bad and tiring while every other review mentions being a highlight of the game. Also, first time he is playing a game where vendors don’t want small talk?

You're telling me this guy is one of the only dissenting voices against the Nazi game? 

Edit: Looking at the site's review history, 5/5 review scores are pretty common. Hilariously transparent hit job there Mr Jam.
