To be honest I’m not sure how true that still is at least with government schools in the UK. I know most schools we’d call private certainly do, but they wear long ties so they’d be tying Windsor and Half-Windsor knots. A bow tie is an insanely different animal and honestly, I’d be shocked if anyone, military service or otherwise, under the age of 60 knew how to tie one.

Regardless, Bond is sophisticated. He would have attended numerous formal events where he mingled with the upper class.
Fair point, I'd forgotten about Mess Dress uniforms, but from what I read they're optional wear most of the time and are generally worn by commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The position the Steam blurb gives Bond - assuming they didn't fuck it up - is one where you start as enlisted man and spend your day in the enlisted mess which is infinitely less formal than an officer's mess. Doubly so aboard a ship at sea.Mess dress uniform - Wikipedia
Regardless, Bond is sophisticated. He would have attended numerous formal events where he mingled with the upper class.
And as for the upper class? If Bond's in the navy as an enlisted, then he's either not upper class himself at all OR is deliberately rebelling by going in as enlisted to thumb his nose at his own social class. But that's possibly outdated thinking on my part.
Of course, there is the possibility, that this is all a bit of a gag at the expense of the fact that this is a James Bond who doesn't look older than about 25, meaning he was born in the year 2000 (assuming the game is based current day) when the formal fashion of the bow tie, outside of extremely niche circumstances, has long fallen out of fashion. Just saying.
Gotta kinda wonder is Cory drugged, or is it just the long hours after so many years of this gig.
Turns out it's the second one, again. The picture is in a windowbox. Lame. Stop letterboxing cutscenes!
"Ultrawide Cutscene Pillarboxing Fix" by MarvelousMod on Nexus Mods:

Correct 21:9 aspect ratio. If only it filled the screen.
Incorrect!
This is not actually a fix. The cutscenes were already in 21:9. Removing the pillarboxes makes them too wide. Removing the windowbox makes the subject too small. The only answer was what the Ghost of Tsushima modders did, but I don't remember if in the unmodded game the camera pulls back at all after cutscenes end. The field of view remaining the same as the black bars pull away is the reason this game, RDR2 and so many others will likely never be fixed. Again, going from cutscene to gameplay with a constant aspect ratio makes the gameplay feel more cinematic too, whether it's 21:9, 16:9, 16:10 or even 4:3. The switching back and forth takes me out of it, like a Nolan movie, only I pay less attention to it because almost all devs do it.
I wish I had my computer, but it's in a storage unit. I would post all the errors I took screenshots of while playing Uncharted 4 in 21:9 with the cutscene mod that removes the black bars. In one scene Sully piloted an airplane with no front. I'm sure those errors are here too.
