And well I its still an amazing game but I could not help but notice how many times they use the word "ploughing" in various different ways, soooo many freakin' times.

Seriously everything from ploughing women, ploughing down a drink, to even a moment when a guy told me "don't worry my children are ploughing in the back yard" I'm pretty sure there was no farm or garden behind that guys house before I entered!! ! 8O

Anyway, I know they were trying to go for a fastasy medieval look and feel to the game. But its thinks like this that just make me wonder if their writers were just being lazy when it came to writing dialogue between characters. "Lets just have them curse and use the same words in order to fill up time" kind of thing.

Anyone else find repetitive or just lazy writing in other wise great games?

I wonder if this is a translation issue.

I found most of the dialogue to be hilarious and it gave a good account of itself. Not everyone in England speaks in a refined accent or has a large vocabulary like some games would portray so it is realistic in that aspect.

Most humans in the game either sound cockney or English, the dwarves have Scottish and Welsh accents and the elves tend to speak in more refined English accents. It had a wide range of British accents and very good voice acting so I think they took a certain amount of time working on the dialogue.

Your argument is invalid because this man is a harpy queen.
