Deadfire will have FULL Voice over. It's ON!

Indeed.

Is it really bad writing? Or is it comic phrase implemented in a way that wasn't recieved particularly well by those who couldn't tell the difference of a bad voice actor and bad writing?

 

It seems, so many rpg's (and games in general) have alot of these moments but the voice actors do a better job -today- at presenting them, thus less room for a critical evaluation of chancing a "Bad writing" reception (even though it was really bad voice acting and not bad writing).

Lol the paladin thing?  No.  It wasn't the writing, or the voice acting.  It was the question itself.

 

The entire Ultima  series had a long series of games, and dealing with learning about "virtue" was a big focus of it.  One of your primary allies throughout the whole series was also the Paladin Dupre, who had tragically sacrificed his own life in the previous game to advance your quest.

 

So the question was basically a giant fat insult to all long term fans of the series.  It horribly disrespected the lore, and one of the key characters of the games.  Spoony took it very poorly cause if you watch his videos he explains why the Ultima series had a very big emotional place in his life.  So to him this was literally taking a dump on one of the most important pieces of his childhood.

I think that even if you've never played any of the other Ultimas, the average gamer knows what a paladin is, so it was also a serious case of treating the players like morons.

I think it's pretty funny then, that it could possibly upset people like this lol I wish Spoony would learn to move on and realize that we have plenty of other games which are just emotionally rewarding to choose from Of course, I'm guessing the video is years old so maybe he has... hopefully.

Uh you should watch his video series.  Ultima is more than a "video game" to him, for legitimately good reasons too.

Did Ultima murder his father or something?

But the ones we grow up with hold a special place in our hearts. Call it nostalgia goggles or whatever, but people get sad when the latest iteration of their favorite childhood series is rubbish.
