Assassin’s Creed III was originally going to let players scalp enemies, but it was cut after history said that never happened

Assassin’s Creed III is a pretty positive and honest representation of the Mowhawk people, according to members of the tribe and historians who study it. A big reason for this is because Ubisoft brought on a man named Thomas Deer, who is a cultural liaison officer working for the Kahnawake Language and Cultural Center, to help make sure they didn’t misrepresent or include anything offensive, false, or demeaning about Mowhawk culture in the game.

Originally the game allowed players (who play as a Mowhawk tribesman) to scalp enemies, but according to Deer that never happened in the particular tribe that the game represents. So they took it out!
