Yeah. Don’t worry. I’m not in a total support of old English dialogue. I’m just pointing out that if the devs really wanted the characters to sound like their time, they would use that sort of dialogue. I know there isn’t really a main character but the game starts you off as if there is one. The battle in the beginning and the tutorial events lead you to believe there is some sort of leader. They should at least do the loyal trait thing with the first three mercenaries. I’m glad to hear feedback on some of the other points I made. The black tiles fog of war could also be changed so that when a mercenary sees from a higher elevation, it reveals what the surrounding area in the map looks like.
historynoahParticipantYeah, I gotcha. I’m sorry, bro. It’s easy to get defensive in this day and age, and it’s easy to get passionate about opinions too :D I probably should of been less zealous about the grammar thing.. haha… or I should’ve put the grammar thing at the bottom of my list of suggestions. I’m still curious as to what you think of the other suggestions written (setting aside the whole grammar thing).
historynoahParticipantFirst off, I want to say that I’m an honors student pursuing a master’s in psychology. Writing papers is more than common in my field. Though my own post lacks some grammatical consistency, it is because I am passionate about where I want this game to go, and I didn’t take the time to look at my own grammar. Take in mind, I did say grammatical issues and not vocabulary. You may not have encountered these issues, but I have. If the developers truly want everyone in the game to sound medieval, then they would use old English (e.g. Thou, Wilt, Doth, etc.). On the contrary, they sound like the modern youtuber playing a medieval game. By that, I mean, they use modern language and a lot of cussing (which kinda sucks in my opinion). This is counteracted by old sounding peasantry talk, which takes away the grammatical consistency. I’ve encountered run-on sentences, misplaced/no commas, and maybe even a fragment. Some of these sentences are understandable after rereading, but I don’t want to have to reread them. The uneducated dialogue encountered in the game isn’t very readable at times. I like how they talk all uneducated sounding, but the actual grammar (periods, commas, and sentence structure) could use some work. There’s a way to make people sound uneducated without using wrong punctuation. I’d like to ask if you looked at my other points. I don’t want to assume you didn’t read them, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the other points I tried to convey.
