you read ONE (1) Shakespeare play, from the sounds of it in middle school or 9th grade at the latest and you think you know what you're talking about, but you think you know what you're talking about but not enough to even do it yourself. Like how the fuck?

i honestly cannot comprehend the level of thought this guy is functioning on.

yes, that's when civilized people use a THESAURUS. you should probably be pretty angry with your teachers for never telling you what it is.

you want your dialogue in a specific style for creative reasons, but are unwilling to do the work yourself. THIS MEANS YOU ARE LAZY.

your vocabulary is incompatible with old english vocabularies, so you'll end up with whatever half-assed dialogue you come up with that occasionally misspells words that had undergone some sort of documented change.

you're seriously better off ripping lines from shakespeare directly and basing your work around them.

It's the same thing as English-language films set in other countries, the characters aren't speaking in the language of that country but for the sake of telling the story nobody cares.  You're only going to be hurting your game by trying to write this way.

google translator would be even more work. If you looked up "work" from English to Italian, it'll show you 8 nouns and 19 verbs. Then you get to spend a lot of time looking up each word to figure out in which context it's talking about. and you'd also have to have a basic understanding of italian verb conjugation to figure how to say "you work(plural)" without it showing you the translation of "you work(singular)".

If those films can do it, why not me too?

if those were all for one game then I will have to reconsider not playing it.

Mind you that the way people spoke in Shakespeare's plays is not at all indicative of what the general public said. In fact, it was incomprehensible for them.

What kind of book about Romeo and Juliet did you read?

this is the worst idea, any comic book that does this is the worst too

Play the game and then judge.

Another entry from my self appointed contrarian. I think, just once, I'll actually give you a bad metaphor so you know what it is like.

"Opinions are like songs by the Smiths: Some girls are bigger than others."

hello i am sorry that you happen to be the person defending a horrible copout in writing but it has nothing to do with YOU, it just has to do with what you said.  sorry that it just happens to be you that made that post, i would have replied the same way to anyone because saying "PRETEND THIS IS WRITTEN IN OLDE ENGLISHE" is the dumbest thing and i didn't even know any comic book would sink that low
