As Juan already said how you gave the character's their own voices, and it just made me pleased as punch to read this, excuse my fan-girling a bit. The inclusion of the hillbilly thing put the hugest smile on my face too, I can't wait to read more. :DKaitlyn.Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631560791999587411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000793623156731154.post-69247036426750737442011-02-05T17:32:00.517-05:002011-02-05T17:32:00.517-05:00Maybe you just have to soil everything good in the...Maybe you just have to soil everything good in the world.

(But I'm sure you got that.)<br /><br />"Clean out the missus," probably means the bandits made sweet love to her, said like a throwaway line by a working man in a British sit-com. No reason to suppose that it's true.<br /><br />Unless not knowing Kressle's name is important it simplifies things to use it.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments. It helps tremendously to record the game. Some of the dialogue comes directly from the players including the "bacon" thing. My favorite is "Spells are for hillbillies."BWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02070230070088483082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000793623156731154.post-57425291693772887782011-02-03T22:24:30.813-05:002011-02-03T22:24:30.813-05:00"What do you cut when the tree itself is dead..."What do you cut when the tree itself is dead?" What? Firewood, maybe.<br /><br />What does "They clean out the missus" mean?<br /><br />Note: you don't know any of the bandit's names. Neither do Oleg or Svetlana. So you wouldn't know the bandit gal is named Kressle You only know the leader is called the Stag Lord. Of course, you can do whatever with the write-up. I'm just saying that in the game you don't know.<br /><br />You do a great job with the battle scenes, and I can see that you're finding a voice for the various characters--and yourself. I really like when you toss in life advice for Pino.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09287340876111006366noreply@blogger.com
