Went back and finished KCD2. Here be spoilers. Sigismund was the best character. Rosa romance was hilarious because you bone her while covered in the blood of the homeless. Then she immediately dumps you and later one of the guys makes fun of you for thinking she hadn't already slept with half the young lords in town. The jew worship was really off-putting until I started to pay attention. Then it was funny. The jews are using usury to control the local lords and foment rebellion. Because of course. The local rabbi shows up, inserts himself into the rebellion as a supply middleman, then vanishes and is never so much as referenced again. The jews torched their own synagogue and said the king did it. Did the Leonardo DiCaprio meme when I saw that. Said synagogue was hiding a smuggling tunnel. Because of course. Every accessible jewish house had lockpicks and thief clothing. Literally every single one. Sam, the sympathetic jew trope, constantly calls for violence to the extent of dropping a bag of money on the table to push everyone into helping him get "revenge". Half his dialogue is straight up bloodlust. As soon as you meet Sam, he traps and almost murders you. He calls you a goy several times. He still treats you as inferior even though you're (according to his whore mother) his half-brother. Sam ditches you and almost ruins the mission to save a castle full of starving people. You can leave him to die, but if you save him by dragging his limp body through a camp full of guards, he takes credit for saving everyone in the castle. Overall it was worth the purchase and time, but I don't feel compelled to finish the sidequests I left open or buy the DLC.
