Utter solitude wrote: I had a conversation with someone earlier in which they expressed their disbelief that Blackbeard was a real person. (seriously, debated me about it for ages) -.- I think that will have some influence on how the character is handled. He's a legend, nothing more, to a lot of people. I would like it if it was as you say, considering the fact that he's a legend, really, but still at the same time also respecting the real Blackbeard history.

If they managed to pull off both of those, they get my two thumbs up :P
