IIRC both Rogue Warrior and WET were games trapped in development hell/vaporware they picked up and published with very low risk (like Cthulhu - Dark corners of the earth).
Hunted wasn't bad, WET wasn't either - I only resent Bethesda for not supporting a PC port of it.
Rogue Warrior was so terrible that it became a cult "so bad it's good" title. Many people just bought it to hear Mickey Rourke say **** a million times.
Of course this was all before the days where Bethesda had several internal studios of their own.
Sadly Bethesda won't waste money on something that won't sell millions. Even though they're swimming in it and could easily fund more lowkey projects like Ubisoft is doing.
At least JRPGs dare to utilize uncommon settings (Germanic mythology, WWII, WWI) with that unique Japanese twist whilst CRPGs are 90% generic fantasy. And the few CRPGs with unique setting have dreadful gameplay (Arcanum, Septerra Core).
I'm not sure why OP is even singling out Uganda. Homosexuality is criminalized in many countries (and still in some US states if I'm not mistaken), but it's easy to pick on the weakest and poorest of the bunch.
I like the game's art direction and it seems to ooze an eerie atmosphere, but I dislike the main character looking like Marilyn Manson. I'm more likely to play this in the future than Dishonored.
