Henry did tell Karla he will get another haircut so it probably won't be around for long.

I really appreciate this game so I'll label this only as a small nitpick, but it's one that's been nagging at me for some time now (might be getting worse as I can't say I noticed this tendency earlier in the game) and that is the use of modern expressions of our world in this medieval fantasy world. Expressions like ''don't be a Debbie Downer'' or ''They fucked around and found out'' totally take me out of this alternate world you've created for us.

This is a world with its own Gods, its own culture, its own lifeforms and history so it's kind of jarring that they use our modern colloquialisms. What a missed opportunity to come up with uniquely invented ones to fit this world!

Again, it's not the biggest deal in the world but I also think this game is better than that. After all the work Tolkien put into world and culture building, could you imagine how disappointing it might be if when it came to dialogue he had his characters say stuff like ''Let's keep it 100 between the homies of the fellowship'' or ''I didn't do it for the Shire, I did it for da 'gram''?

English is not my first language, it's my third and I learned it as an autodidact. As such, I have holes in my language. I do think I got better compared when I started TFS, though.

But it's hard for me to always be sure of how an expression will "sound". For example, after looking into it, I never would have thought the "Debbie Downer" was from SNL in 2004.

And let be honest, I am no Tolkien. The man was a linguist, for fuck sake. Inventing my own colloquialisms? I am gonna be honest: I am not proficient enough in English to do that.

The tone of the text is something that's complicated. I do try to use some oldish English words, like thankee for example (thanks master and commander and his author Patrick O'brian, for that one), but on the other hand, medieval english is something that's incomprehensible by a modern audience. Hell, English had something called the Great Vowel Shift in the late middle age/renaissance that completely changed the way vowels are pronunced. It's complicated.

New, I am not against changing a thing or two, the two examples you gave are too modern, true, and I probably will change them in the future but I am going to miss some due to my background, that's for sure.
