>claims the cumans that did not want to pillage were somehow recruited to the army that was operating on pillaged fundingWhy would a band of cumans that explicitly state they won't pillage, then recruit themselves to a mercenary army that is not promised pay but pillage.
>words of a cuman trying desperately to not reap what he'd sown in skalitz are reliable More headcanon just like the time you tried to claim the camp cumans were pillaging and raping, yet when the quest's narrative theme is "drinking with your enemy" and reflecting on horrors of war, and with zero, and I repeat, zero, evidence that they are lying, not a speech check to call out their bluff, not a single line delivered with hesitation. The only evidence you have is what your dreams revealed to you, instead of what the game actually tells you.
>After all the game said so, games writing always says explicitly what is written otherwise how would anyone understand it.You are the one insinuating that the game doesn't have themes nor do they matter. Your example is further proof on the contrary
>There's two strange men in Skalitz - one claims to be the spokesman for the Cuman king and that the second is allegedly His Majesty, although he doesn't look too regal...Henry literally notes that he heard a man CLAIMING he is ALLEGEDLY someone, doubt is established toward their identities without a shadow of a doubt.
There is no similar doubt established for henry toward the camp cumans. You can either mindlessly kill them as revenge, or drink with them and hear their story, and the story is given to you straight, and you are just coping and spinning up headcanon that points to the opposite of what the game tells you.
