I read Robinson Crusoe a long time ago. There is one noted error in the book: our protagonist strips naked to swim to the ship-wreck to scavenge for supplies. He returns with pockets full of biscuits. I wonder if this found its way into the game, and if not, could it, pretty please?

It is true that there is some controversy here: did he take off all his clothes? Did he have pockets in his breeches? Were pockets sewn into clothes at this time? Regardless, this has become part of the book's lore, so it would be great to have a little naked pocket Easter egg in there.

From the New York Times, 1902:

Maybe 'pockets' was a euphemism? Do you really want to know where he stashed those biscuits? Probably with the watch.


Like I say, more thematic flavour... Okay that did it... Grossed myself out.
