Yes it would affect the quality, because you wouldn't get any video at all. The Surface 2 doesn't have video input. USB to HDMI adapters are generally for use with devices that don't have video output, so that you can get an external monitor connected over USB.
I don't think you understand that your surface CANNOT! Accept video from the Xbox onto it's LCD correct me if I am wrong but there is no purpose either.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
